Entreprenuership Project at Causeway Point

A blue rose for my pupil. Wish her Youth forever. =)

Tigger.. Bang! Bang!

Was very happy and excited when we were at Causeway Point sculpturing balloons to raise the sales amount for Serangoon Garden Secondary School. This event was organised by Singapore Republic Polytechnic. The colours and the beautiful art of balloons draw in crowds. The sculptures we made were immediately sold off until the officials from Republic Polytechnics gave us a "YELLOW CARD" by saying: Only pupils who registered for this project can twist balloons and sell. Else, the team will be disqualified.

Before we received the warning, we have already sculptured many and sold many. Opsss! XP

NUS Community Service Club: Grant A Wish VII 2009

The National University of Singapore was where I graduated from 10 years ago. I spent my 3 years in the University studying, swimming, studying and swimming. Community Service never come across to me as an important issue then. Being able help the less fortunate, I was very happy. Seems that the day that I was equipped with the small talent to twist balloons and able to teach balloon twisting, we have never reject or disappoint any charity organisation to give free balloon twisting workshops. Whether to raise funds or to entertain the less fortunate or other purposes, Alpha Plus Consultancy, APC, will always be more willing to give our full support! Yeah!

PAssion to sculpture balloons is in every balloonist in Alpha Plus. No matter where we go, the place will more often be filled with balloons.

New freinds found at Singapore Botanical Garden

On 24th Oct 09, APC balloonists, Veronica and Elyn, were invited to sculpture balloons for a 1 year old birthday party. This was the first time that we went to Singapore Botanical Garden for a birthday party celebration and we were quite amazed as there were so much changes.

We have made friends with a group of people having picnic there. We 'barter' trade balloon sculptures with food and drinks.

On the same day, Pek Kio CC, having an appreciation dinner. Our Magic Interest Group members went there an hour earlier to decorate the restaurant with balloons. We have a lot of fun exchanging balloons and magics. This is our usual whenever we meet up. Yeah!

Alpha Plus Magician, Felicial Ding, was invited to perform for the father and mother's day celebration.

Norvin & Edwin Grand Show at Pasir Ris Elias CC

Hi all!

I am Norvin, one of the Magicians from Alpha Plus Magic. I am currently a year 2 student at Republic Polytechinic. I am part of the Republic Polytechinc Magic Club.

I took up a magic show in Pasir Ris Elias CC for their family carnival. The residents there attempt to break the Guiness World record for making the most number of dumplings. Frankly speaking, the stage is very wide and teh whole place were filled with people. It looks GRAND!

I was nervous and shocked when its my turn to perform, but everything did went well and I actually try out some kids magic where I didn’t tried before. It was another great experience for me and also not forgetting my magic show partner, Edwin.

I wish that I have more opportunities to perform and gain more experience.

Cheers,

Norvin, Alpha Plus Magician
