Think i've posted this before, but its still entertaining! More lame stuff coming up!
A Tale of Two Cows
TRADITIONAL CAPITALISM. You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull. Your herd multiplies, and the economy grows. You sell them and retire on the income.
AN AMERICAN CORPORATION. You have two cows. You sell one, and force the other to produce the milk of four cows. You are surprised when the cow drops dead.
A FRENCH CORPORATION. You have two cows. You go on strike because you want three cows.
A JAPANESE CORPORATION. You have two cows. You redesign them so they are one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow and produce twenty times the milk. You then create clever cow cartoon images called 'Cowkimon' and market them worldwide.
A GERMAN CORPORATION. You have two cows. You reengineer them so they live for 100 years, eat once a month, and milk themselves.
A BRITISH CORPORATION. You have two cows. Both are mad.
AN ITALIAN CORPORATION. You have two cows, but you don't know where they are. You break for lunch.
A SWISS CORPORATION. You have 5000 cows, none of which belong to you. You charge others for storing them.
A CHINESE CORPORATION. You have two cows. You have 300 people milking them. You claim full employment and high bovine productivity. You have the newsman who reported on the numbers arrested.
AN INDIAN CORPORATION. You have two cows. You worship them.
A MALAYSIAN CORPORATION. You have two cows. You signed a 40-year contract to supply milk at 0.06 per lit. Then midway you raised the price to 0.60 or you cut supply. When the buyer agrees to the new price, you change your mind again and now want 1.20. The buyer decided you can keep the milk and they go look for milk that comes from recycled cows. Your two cows retire together with the PM.
A SINGAPOREAN CORPORATION. You have two cows: One "cow-peh" and one "cow-bu".

Move on?
Well its been awhile since i blogged. It has just struck me these couple of days that its already the month of May. Another month and we'll be halfway through the year. How time flies. Certainly, the past year and beginning of this year had its fair share of ups and downs.
I been questioning myself on what i want, my goals, my existance on this earth. Wad am i here for? So many things have jus happened. So many questions. So many burdens. I emotionally feel it. I psychologically feel it. i even physically feel it. Each step each day seems to weigh even heavier than the day before.
Church now contains no more or very little meaning for me. To me, i just "help out" in the way i can such as playing the guitar. Gone is the strive to play fully unto God. Attending service seems more like an obligation than a joy. Worship songs have become jus mere words with subtle meanings.
I question why isnt there anyone to come and pick me up. i question why isnt there someone who seems to want to raise me up to a greater height like in the past. i question whether does the problem lie with them, or is it jus really me? Why are the numbers dwindling? Why does there seem to be a disatisfaction in the people? So is it them, or is it jus ourselves who plainly doesnt seem to want to move our sorry asses forward? What's the key between THEN and NOW?
I used to find this motivation from deep within. A serious passion to do things. I was guided. I was built up. I was motivated. But jus a short moment, everything fell apart. I was literally left helpless. Few came forth. Almost none actually.
And when i thought i was ready to let go and try to press on, i was pushed back yet again, met with a phrase "i didn't know how to handle you". Yes, i made a choice that i'll step out. After that, nothing else came forth. No actions were taken, no words were spoken to me. What i jus saw was like the waves from the sea, slowly washing away the sand on the beach. What had meant something to me before, was gone.
Its tough to face up that, after a particular incident, you see the other party being raised up to a greater height, and you are jus left there standing. argh.
Im tired of all the facades. Im tired of all this shit. I want it to end. I want to get rid of the burden that i carry everyday. I want to be renewed... but how? How... A change in focus? A change in environment? I dont know. Sigh.
This thought jus came to mind. "What is your pursuit of Happyness?" Hmm.
End here i shall.
Someone help me pls?

Balloona-fanastical-weekend!
Woot! Had another fulfilling weekend!
Words first, few pics later.
Just a short overview:
Good Friday. Went over to City Harvest Church's children's carnival to do balloons, while a few of my other friends went around with walk-around magic. No joke blowing each n every balloon which amts to close to hundred? It was a mob of kids man, but a very fun experience! After which, a few of us went down to The Little Magic Shop's sale at Concept Magic's studio. YAY! i bought $50 worth of stuff and i also wont a lucky draw! ahaha. (PIC #1)
Sat. Was up and about rather early and went to cash my cheque and i bought COMMAND AND CONQUER 3 TIBERIUM WARS!!! WOO! Gameplay's SOLID man. After which went to orchard for a walk with Baolong. Nicely surprised to see Jeremy Pei performing at the tent in front of Takashimaya. Hehe. Saw some rather lacklustre walk-ard magic, and BL and me lamented the fact that we shd have been invited to do the event instead. SIGH! Dinner was settled at Sarpino's Pizza, which is also 2 for 1, and the pizza's good! Good enough to rival pizza huts.
Sun. Went down to City harvest after church as i was doing a short balloon show after my fren's magic show. Made an amazing hat which you'll see. My perf was kinda screwed up as my balloons unexpected popped!! argh. and i was doing a pink panther!! didnt pop once, but twice! argh... but i guess everthing turned out alright.
Went down to town wearing my hat! Everyone staring you from the wherever i was, till the mrt station, till city hall, till orchard. Muaahaha. Met a few pple on the train from Indonesia, of which the two guys with the three indo girls were from the US stationed in Indo. Pics later! (PIC #3)
So there i was walking thru orchard, with my hat, and here's where the good part comes in, everybody looks at you! yay.
Note: FREE ADVERTISING.
And current fav word is: MARKETING.
more on marketing yourself next time, i cld write a whole lecture on it. So me and another friend started from somerset till paragon, wahaha.
Then went to paragon with a friend to wait for BL to finish work, and here's where the even better part comes in. *tiko smile* All the girls, with bf, or without, jus seems to smile at you!! tt truly made my day!! Oh boy, im getting all excited jus talking about this. hehe. it jus tempts me more and more to start busking sooner! muahaha. Highlight of the nite was a tall cute girl, who walked past, kept looking and smiling at me! i waved and she smiled even more and walked off with her frend. a few mins later, she walked back to somewhere else, and i saw her again. ahaha. WHY OH WHY DIDNT I GET HER NUMBER!!!! ARGHHHH!!! ah well, im very shy with girls actually. Hee. OKOK. to cut it short, dinner was at Sarpino's Pizza again. The manager is so gonna rem me and my frends for finishing the cheese and making outrageous balloons. alrite, the end!

Not bad a few days.
Had quite a good weekend!
Had my first "semi-professional" balloon gig on sat night for an RC block party at Lavender, near Beach Road. Had approx 45mins to entertain and do balloons for the kids. Most wanted balloon animal? THE TIGER. well, one kid wanted a cat actually, i suggested making it a tiger by adding stripes. After that, everyone wanted a tiger. Other decent requests were swords, rabbit, flower. An AUNTIE asked me to make a pig for her.(AUNTIE! hmm. tot i was supposed to entertain kids.) When the hour was up, had to stop and decline some requests. Sad. But well it was a very fun and fulfilling experience and the money's good. Trying to get hold of the few pics taken, so stay tuned.
Sunday was great as i attended a magic competition and lecture. Sadly, only 3 of the finalists were able to make it for the competition, and the rest of the time were taken up by performances by the guest judges. Man, its one thing to see amateurs perform and another to see professionals perform. Was very impressed with a fire eating act by one of the guest performers. An old guy, a veteren at his art. forgot his name. damn.
The magic lecture by Magic Fukai, a professional magician from Japan was very entertaining and indepth. Although not many new effects were taught or explained, the gems were into how to present the routine in a different and entertaining way. Here's Fukai and I.

Last night was great as a small group had a small gathering in commemoration of Paul's birthday. Went to SAFRA to play abit of pool. Did my classic ninja rings act which owned pretty much everyone there, WHAHAHA. After that did some fun balloon jamming. Oh I actually made a hat for Paul to wear thru the night, will upload the pic once i get it from him.
One thing that struck me last night was, "What is being a magician mean to you? What is it worth?" I basically saw and experienced some rather unpleasant stuff happen that make me question. What is could say is, my friend, if you ever do read this post. DO NOT tarnish the image of being a magician. Take pride in being one. If u dont, at least take pride in being a human, respect what ur parents and primary school have been teaching you, and be a man. Grow up pls!

Expressions
Am i happy the way i am?
Honestly i am not.
I've been rather caustic at work this past couple of weeks. All the angst swells from a source which i do not even know about. a minor mistake by other could cause me to kick up a big fuss. Am i expecting too much of others? hmm. Maybe im just expecting too much of myself.
Its sad to see your world just blatantly falling apart no matter how hard you try to piece it nicely on the facade. Its hard to just let things go and say "lets forgive and forget". Its painful when you feel that there seems to be no one out there who would really support you and bring you through.
"He's an angry person", some may say. "He's just being an asshole; he thinks he is the best; who does he think he is". Words may not have been said but it can certainly be felt. Maybe no one even had that even thought abt it, and its jus the conscience speaking. i honestly do not know how i've come to this point, where even i myself feel my "headstrong-ness" in many situations yet i could not help it. Its come to a point where i force myself to be independent, and not be dependent on others for company. its come to a point where i feel that even if i died, people may not even really notice the loss of me(its ok, im not suicidal).
i haven talked to God for the past 6mths since duno when. He jus feels so far, so distant. "God is jus a prayer away" most people will say, but i jus cant bring myself to this state. I could say that i have lost faith in God, but a phrase remains ingrained in me, is that "God never left you, have you left him?" Most likely i have lost faith in myself. The faith that i could stand up and say that "i could do all things through Christ".
"I want you to feel guilty". This six words have haunted me for the past 4 mths. no matter how hard i tried to forget, n matter how i tried to bury myself in my work, no matter how hard i tried to PREtend that all was well, these words stalked me, hunted me, as the phrase goes "you can run but you can't hide". Amidst those times, everyone was on the other side of the river. i had to stand alone. i had to overcome on my own. i had to carry all the burden on myself, i WILL carry all of it on my own, i have to, cos i dont want to feel that regret or guilt. yes i have to do it alone, and walk this path on my own, i do not need other people, or do i?
Everyday seems like a get torn down again and again.
hmm. stop here i shall.
i did not do this to seek pity, i will not say i wont need ur pity, i just covet ur prayers.
to those whom i've offended with my words, and actions, i sincerely apologise and would like your forgiveness.

Chinese New Year and a Tinge of Red
GONG XI GONG XI! ANGBAO GIA LAI!*
Alrite. So i know im a little late in giving out well-wishes for the festivities, pls pardon me. Haha.
This CNY was a particularly "not-so-boring" one for me.
Started with church in the morning. I finally learnt n rem something from church all this while *oops!*. Heh. What i learnt was the actual meaning of the word 福, which is the chinese word for "blessing". The inscription of the left of the word stands for "God". The inscription on the right side, from the top to the bottoms stand for "one mouth, field". This whole word, thus, stands for "When a man is in a land with God, it is blessing". Get it? if not, jus search the World Wide Web and you'll come across many other chinese words with biblical meaning.
After church, my family proceeded to my paternal grandmother's place, where the youngsters had the usual steamboat, albeit very rushly this year as i had to rush off to my maternal grandmother's. So lunch wasnt very enjoyable.
Maternal grandmother's was the usual small gathering of a couple of my cousins and such. Did some balloons for my nieces and that was about it after which i proceeded to my boss' place and "JUS WATCHED ABIT OF TV"! ehehheheeh.
Ang Bao money this year was phenomenol! Not gonna say the exact, but it certainly went past the $200 mark! Not a little bit, but by "quite a FAIR" margin. hehehe. Now now, you sharks keep away from me ok. dun think you could come and sponge me dry!!! wahahaha.!!
Tts abt it for now!
ANG BAO GIA LAI!
Ah-Ken

A huff and a puff... and i'll blow you up?
*Chak!*(Trying to imitate the typical-Phua-Chu-Kang-Peek-a-Boo-ah-beng-style). What a great weekend it has been! Spent my sat at work(tho not realli working) and ended up reformatting my boss' com at his place. What a load of rubbish he has in it. Of course, thanks due to his son and daughter's "crap"(MAPLE, AUDITION, and so on and so forth). *totally useless stuff* heh.
Did ballooning at Joash's birthday party. Apparently i shall alias myself Uncle Kenneth from now on. haha. Not jus 1 or 2, not kids mind you, the PARENTS told their kids to come ask "uncle" for a balloon. Tho not unjustifiable, it jus made me feel a little, well, old. heh. Nevertheless, the balloon making part was great! Did my big bugs bunny balloon, onli to realise tt i forgot the neck(people took it home before the party ended officially tho. lol) The pink panther was also gone as quickly as the rabbit. ahaha. Its very interesting to have kids come up to u innocently and ask for something which you dont know how to make *embarrass*, and how some kids jus spoil their balloons soon after you made them. Its no mean feat to be blowing balloons without a pump k. haha. Happy i survived tt. Overall, it was great experience!
What i gotta learn and develop is my interactivity with the kids/people, and be more sure of the balloons i make. PRACTICE!
Maybe i'll try blowing condoms next. heh.

Went to work as usual today, and sat down in the morning, only to find Nick "nudging" me on msn n telling me there's a slot for basic theory on 22nd feb! AHH! Quick n swift i tried to grab it. OH NO! it didnt show on my screen. Damn, jus missed it. n there i was, a little disappointed, but went "God, if its your plan....". Then i went about my business in the office. 15mins later, i was clicking on SSDC website, nothing. Then a short 5-10mins later, i clicked... and there it was!! GUESS THE DATE!!!
GUESS...
Guess...
26th of JAN!!!!
Hurriedly i fumbled and typed away, waiting for the sluggish internet to flicker!! DAMN! i still had to cancel my previous booking first! hurry hurry!! click click clik! "You have registered for basic theory on the 26th!!!!" WOOOOOHOOOO! n tts jus like next week!!!! PRAISE GOD!!! THANK YOU GOD!!!! i was like screaming in the office. wahahhaaha.

Sometimes, lessons are best learnt the hard way. :)
Yoohoo! Its been awhile. Sorry folks.
Went to JC Sum's Micro Magic Convention yesterday, so sorry to Nicky if i didn't reply to ur message. Oh btw, if y'all don't know who JC Sum is, he's the fella who did a magic segment for Top Fun(Channel 8 variety show by Jack Neo and team, every mon nite), for a period of time. Ring some bells? If not, i shall just carry on with my rants then.
So basically, the micro(due to spaces limited to onli 50 pple) convention, was held at Fluid Bar at Far East Square with free flow of coke, sprite and lime juice It started off with a great lecture where JC shared some of his original close-up effects with us. Though some of us may not really put them to use, it was great insight into how we could produce great effect for even close up magic.
After the lecture was the "Producing Your Act" segment, where pre-signed up pple get to perform in front of everybody. So I, boldly went to sign up for it. Made quite a mess of my routine, because i was so nervous, n i tend to just rush through everything. So i flopped my bottles, dropped my cane, fumbled my linking rings. Man! 5mins seemed like an eternity! I knew that i wasn't gonna do very well, n a normal person wouldn't even think of signing up for something like this in the first place, but i did it because i wanted to know, first hand, what were my flaws and how i could improve. After my routine, JC gave some SOLID critique which left me pretty much satisfied. Thank God for the many others who encouraged and gave me some good advice as well. After which, was a performance by another guy who took up the "Producing Your Act" segment, then came the veteran guest performers.
The convention pretty much ended after food and the sale of alot of magic stuff and a lucky draw in which i wasnt so lucky in, but i was presented with a personalised JC Sum deck of cards instead. The stuff on sale were great in which i bought quite a number, so now having no choice but to put on hold my bike course for another month(damn!), but i guess its all worth it.
So thus ended my sat, still feeling proud of myself for having the courage to perform, and still feeling the passion! But all is not done yet! Another magic workshop, Secret Session 3 this end of month!!! CHIONG AR!!! but still need to spend more money. damn. hehe.
Yours,
Ken
