And we come to...the NEXT PROJECT

(click for bigger picture)

that's gonna keep me busy for a while.
i'm not the organiser by the way.
it's a concert organised by these 2 young chaps starting out in the biz.
pple with passion.
how can we do without them.

anyway, one of them asked me to perform a 15 min show on stage for the event.
it's a paid gig yes.

I got some inspiration from my jog on deepavali.
i'm beginning to really like jogging.

I hope i can pull this one off.
If i can only do what i see in my head,
this one will be different and amazing.

it's a piece with a message.
a piece with multimedia, lights, and exploding liquid if i can have my way.

what i can see is so amazing,
but what i can do is so limited.
it's frustrating,
let's see what comes out of it.

--------------------------------

and as good ol poot puts it,
"you have stopped practising and moved on to performing. which is good cos it's very creative but you keep dropping!"

so yes, need to put in a bit of substance amidst the fluff.

pple are paying for this so i'd better do something decent.

---------------------------------

i actually managed to sell 8 singabolas the last week.
without even soliciting for sales.
pple just came and asked for them.

pretty cool.

------------------------------------

M.A.D now stands at number 5 i think.
the fifth being a balloon selling event for the Africa mission group.

6th and 7th will come these 2 weeks.
Will be conducting a balloon workshop for some sec sch kids and then packing them off to do traumatic ballooning for NUH kids.

traumatic because my ballooning sucks big time.
my mom thought my beautiful bugs bunny sculpture was a tortoise.

but again i got some inspiration from my jog.

wouldn't it be wonderful to create some kind of pay-it-forward event?
send armies of kids off to make balloons for somebody somewhere who needs comforting.

it'll be cool i think,
even though mom quipped that kids may cry when they see my balloons.

We just met up with LM freshly back from NZ.
Started talking abt 5 year plans and guess what her plan is.

"There's a lady going horse riding from china to london over 4 years. i think i'll join her."
"....erm...how are you going to bring along all those hay for the horse?"
"oh there's a truck following behind."

"my dad wanted to buy me a horse"
"how much does a horse cost?"
"3 to a few million"
"3 like 3 dollars?"
"oh not 3, i said free"
"free?? like stray horse ah. wandering on the streets."

it's way too cool man.
imagine telling someone "i just spent 4 years riding a horse from china to london."

"what happened to our trip to south pole?"
"oh yeah i realised we need to fly from argentina. only scientists can fly from NZ"
"we can take a module and pretend to be scientists."
"the scientists must stay for the whole term at the south pole"
"oh."

"why would ANYONE go to the south pole?" clarice asked in horror.
"i want to plant the flag there. those cute little ones they give us for national day"
"get a sandwich flag!"

------------------------------------

my bro just came back from thailand and bought me a reindeer hair band, a moose hair band, an angel hair band and a jester hat.

it'll be so cool to wear the hair band to the office man.

even cooler if i can wear it riding a horse from china to london.
