Impressive Backdrop!

To add to the atmosphere, we had a special guest or should I say a heavenly guest?

God of Wealth (aka "Cai Shen") in East Point???... Look closely~!

Style! emcee with God of Wealth

God of Wealth was ushered into Eastpoint Mall to the popular tune of "财神到" and everyone was so eager to get a little gold coin for some luck in the new year. As the chinese believe that getting the gold coin will bring them luck for the whole year. (See! I am not passing up the chance too!)

Style! emcee played the acting game with some adorable kids on stage. The children had a chance to be the "Little God of Wealth" on stage, walking and acting as if they were the real God of Wealth! The audience had a good time being entertained by the young ones.

The second segment of the program was the chinese magic show. This chinese magic is a different twist to the typical magic shows that we see at dinner and dance, shopping malls and other events. It was a good experience for the audience and the kids.

Chinese magic - A different twist!

Apart from magic show, there was also another juggling show by this juggler whom have been juggling for the past 20 years as his personal hobby. He explained the history of juggling and shared his passion for juggling with the children.

The finale of the event was the game of forming a chinese character with the mandarin oranges slices. There were 3 teams and each team was given 4 oranges and a sticky board. They are judged on both speed and accuracy of forming the chinese character with the slices pasted on the sticky board. Take a look at the winning team's artistic work!

In addition to the games and performances, all the children had a chance to receive a pair of disney fork and spoon by saying a chinese new year greeting. It was so well-received that the gifts were snatched up in no time!

Next week, Style! emcee will be at Eastpoint Mall on saturday and sunday from 3-6pm. Come join in the fun games, performances and soak up in the festive mood!

Have a great week. Cheers!
