Singapore Airlines New Products Launch in Beijing

Event: Singapore Airlines New Products Launch in Beijing
Date: 27th Jun 2008
Venue: China World Hotel, Beijing, China
Event Production: TBWA - Auditoire China
Pax: 120

Style! Emcee:

My first debut event in Beijing and second event in China. The first was in Dec 2006 in Shanghai. Now here's the second one.

The event was held for the whole day, with 2 sessions, one from 2.30pm - 5.30pm and the other from 7pm - 10.30pm.

First Segment: Media Launch (2.30pm - 5.30pm)

Audience from major media companies, including broadcasting stations, were invited to catch a glimpse of the latest products offering on the Airbus A380 (super jumbo in the sky) and the Boeing 777-300ER.

There was a question and answer session, with our guest of honour from Singapore Airlines Mr Yap Kim Wah, Senior Vice President Products and Services who chaired the panel of speakers. The guest of honour also delivered his presentation earlier, sharing with everyone some of the luxurious features found in the cabin of the two new aircrafts.

The finale of the session was amazing. After a video presentation, the huge screen was slowly drawn to the side, together a spectacle of lights and sounds, revealing the tempting A380 suite, B777-300ER widest First Class Seat and other wholesome surprises. Audience were invited to step up to the stage and right into the exhibition behind the screen.

Second Segment: PPS Launch (7.00pm - 10.30pm)

The evening event was catered to the PPS club members, also known in full as Priority Passenger Service (PPS). Membership for PPS is earned via miles and value flown with Singapore Airlines. Invited guests brought along their partners and business associates, all waiting to witness and discover for themselves the splendour and delight of the new A380 suite class.

The fifth Airbus A380 delivered to Singapore Airlines will be used on the Singapore - Beijing sector for a week (2nd - 8th Aug) leading up to the Olympics. Additionally the Boeing 777-300ER will be flying the Singapore - Beijing sector from 1st July. For our frequent flyer passengers, it presents a whole new flying experience.

As Singapore Airlines puts it "Travelling in a new light"...

The audience came from all parts of the world and have been flying with Singapore Airlines for many many years. Some of them have businesses here and some of them specially flew in for this event. It was indeed my honour and pleasure to meet these well-acoomplished guests and to host the event for them.

There were free flow of red and white wines, beers, cold canapes and other delicacies that were served rounds after rounds.

One of the highlight for the night was a lucky draw and two lucky winners were drawn and they walked away with krisflyer miles that are equivalent to a free return ticket on the Singapore - Beijing sector on business class! I could share the elation and thumping joy when names were being announced. Just imagine if you were one of the winners....

The event company that managed the entire production was Auditoire China, a subsidiary of TBWA.

I had a wonderful event. Guests were enjoying themselves. It was awesome!

Singapore Airlines A380 flying to Beijing for the Olympics

Style Emcee:

Singapore Airlines will be flying the new A380 to Beijing to welcome the Olympics! I am sure it is a great news for all travelers whom will be coming in to Beijing via Singapore. Just imagine your itinerary....

1. Fly A380 on SQ802 and arriving in Beijing in the afternoon around 3pm.

2. Proceed straight to the Olympics for the grand opening ceremony

3. Stay throughout the entire month (8th Aug - 24th Aug) and watch the adrenaline rushing games and soak in the atmosphere as everyone gathers to cheer for their teams.

How nice would that be.... Imagine flying here on the new A380 suites, having a glass of champagne and tucking in to succulent and tender beef steak or fine cuisine, followed by hours of entertainment watching the 23" LCD TV with Bose headset, and finally a heavenly nap on the new flat bed.

I am looking forward for a chance to view and enjoy the new features and products of this great new aircraft!

Look out for my next post!

New Beijing CCTV Headquarters!

I think this is a great wonder and a magnificent work of excellent architecture and civil engineering!

Take a look, it is the new headquarters for Beijing CCTV.

2 towers leaning towards each other, and the top connecting piece is connected at right angles.
Impressive!

And viola! Here's how it looks when it is completed!

Don't miss this tower when you come to Beijing!

Beijing Olympics Here I Come!

Style! Emcee:

One day I got a phone call...

"Hi Richard, you are going up to Beijing for the Olympics!"

I couldn't believe my ears when I heard that.

Now here I am in Beijing, typing this entry. I am excited about the Olympics, about the sports stars that I will have a chance to meet. Not too sure how it is going to be like, but I am sure that it will be a fantastic opportunity and experience!

I was there in Sydney when they had the Olympics in 2000. Everywhere was crowded and full of people all watching the Olympics at every television at every corner of the street. The streets were filled with people, shopping, but many were standing and sitting, just waiting for their countrymen to do them proud. You could feel the suspense and when the race was over, there were loud cheers of joy! The atmosphere was immense and awesome.

Right now in Beijing, the winter is reaching the end and weather's turning warm with occasional downpours and thunderstorm. Everywhere you can see posters, banners, billboards, signs and other forms of media talking about the Olympics. Everyone seem to be preparing for this grand moment to arrive. Hotels, airports, trains, taxis, buses, restaurants, bars, pubs and every other tourist related industry are all getting ready to rock and roll. Prices are also rising and more and more people are coming into Beijing.

There's a little statue, like a monument somewhere near where I am staying in Chaoyang district. This is the Olympic monument. It shows the number of days left to the Olympics, right to the very second!

I wonder how's things in Singapore? Is there a big Olympics fever brewing? I am sure our athletes are all preparing for the showdown. I wish them all the best!

I will periodically update my blog and post photos to share with everyone.

Olympics, here I come!!!

Harry Potter Dumbledore or the Wizard of Oz?

I found this photo that was taken last year when I dressed up in costume and supposedly to look like the wizard Dumbledore from Harry Potter.

On another occasion, I met this caricature artist who was engaged for pre-dinner activities during one of the Dinner and Dance.

This is me, striking a Kung-Fu Smash!... *watch out!*

Another photo that I found was this photo taken when I hosted Johnson and Johnson "Kids @ Work" event in 2007. The employees were invited to bring their kids to work to learn about what daddy and mummy do in the company. The kids had a chance to visit all the different departments and to learn more about the businesses.

Triumph Inspiration Award 2008

Event: Triumph Inspiration Award 2008 Date: 14th Mar 2008 Venue: Rendevouz Hotel Time: 12.30pm - 5pm Web: http://www.triumphinspirationaward.com/

Facebook: Triumph Inspiration Award

"For more than a century, Triumph has been designing and producing elegant and fashionable intimate wear of excellent workmanship. Triumph's inspiration has always been the people whom wear closest to their skin. To all the women in the world, you are truly unique and special in your own way and our inspiration is everything about you. The thoughts, ideas, desires and fears related to being a woman." That was my opening address for the event. I was invited to host the Triumph Inspiration Award Singapore National Final. The Triumph Inspiration Award is a global competition dedicated in search for the most inspiring lingerie designer across the globe. Fashion and design students from over 30 countries will be competing for their chance to win Euro 15,000 and at the same time, the champion will have his or her design adapted and interpreted by Triumph design team, and ultimately sold in selected Triumph stores worldwide with a special hangset. In Singapore, 10 finalists from Raffles Design Institute and Temasek Polytechnic presented their designs showcases to a panel of judges renowned for their expertise and experience in the fashion arena. Panel of Judges:

1. Ms Doy Teo, Director of Triumph International Singapore

2. Ms Elizabeth Gwee, Editor of Her World 

3. Ms Grace Lee, Editor-in-Chief of Nuyou Singapore 

4. Mr Nic Wong, Designer for "nicholas" The lecturers from both schools attended to give their support to their own students. 

Lecturers: 

1. Associate Professor Guiseppe Spinelli, Principal and Program Director for Fashion Design Department 

2. Mr Wilson Choo, Design School Lecturer in Temasek Polytechnic

Finalists had their showcase donned by models whom sashayed down the runway, after which they would explain and share their design inspiration with the panel of judges. I guess the toughest part for the finalist wasn't about sharing their inspirations with the panel, but it was the question and answer sessions that challenged the finalists regarding their designs finesse.

The top 3 winners of the national finals finally emerged after a detailed and thorough discussion by the judges behind closed doors.

Top 3 Winners:

1. Afton Chen Sihan, Raffles Design Institute, Design Theme: G.I Jane 2. Wong See Fei Joyce, Raffles Design Institute, Design Theme: Flower Jane 3. Jiang Ying Alice, Raffles Design Institute, Design Theme: Dita Von Teese Afton Chen will be representing Singapore in the Triumph Inspiration Award International Finals held in Beijing, China on the 31st July 2008. The champion, 1st runner up and 2nd runner up walked away with cash prizes of SGD 3000, 2000 and 1000 respectively. All the 10 finalists will be showcasing their designs during the Triumph's "Viva La Eve" fashion show on 3rd April 2008 at the Singapore Fashion Festival. Don't miss the opportunity to catch our young and talented local designers with their masterpieces!

The award was covered in TODAY Newspaper 15th March 2008 and The Straits Times on 17th March 2008.

Venue: Royal Plaza on Scotts - Balmoral Hall
Time: 2.30pm - 5.30pm
Pax: ~100

Style! emcee:

This event was done at the beautiful Balmoral Hall of Royal Plaza on Scotts. The hall was located on level 5 and had full length glass surrounding the entire venue. Take a look at the photos!

Beautiful isn't it?

From a corner of the hall, one could also see the modern and chic looking swimming pool.

Swimming in serenity

With the event set in such nice and posh setting, it was definitely a nice and relaxing time for all at the hi-tea session.

Guests started arriving and everyone was in casual and relaxed outfits, all wanting a time of fun and feast. The MD gave his speech and presented the Long Service Awards to employees. The hi tea buffet started and everyone had a good time to the food.

Let the party begin!

Now it's time for Style! emcee to do his role. From a quiet and silent atmosphere, the entire mood was uplifted with loud clapping, cheering, whistling and laughters. Style! emcee delivered his repertoire of games and this time he added a new game "Olympic Battle", in conjunction with Singapore holding the Youth Olympics Games in 2010. Cool! The audience laughed heartily as they were busily participating in the game. Awesome!

The first game session went by so fast and now it was time for the lucky draw. Prizes for the lucky draw was superb and fantastic. Some of the prizes were like Palm Treo 650 Smartphone, Philips LCD TV, Sennheisser audio equipment and many more! One could see the crowd so excitedly waiting for their chance.

As it was also a family event with kids and spouses, the kids were not forgotten. They too, participated in the games and braved their wits and skills to win for their teams.

Finally, it's time to say goodbye and everyone certainly left the event with sumptuous spread in their tummy, great prizes in their hands and loads of fun and happiness in their spirit!

Wedding @ Carlton Hotel

Event: Wedding @ Carlton Hotel
Date: 28th Feb 2008
Venue: Esplanade Room
Pax: ~300

Style! Emcee:

This is my first wedding event hosted in 2008! The entire wedding event was spectacular. Here are some highlights (and maybe also some suggestions for couples preparing for their wedding event)

1. The groom was on the stage and the bride came in and started to sing "Lovers' Concerto" immediately after the door was opened. (The effect was enough to bring the audience to tears)

2. The champagne toast and "Yum Seng" was done after the first march-in. This allow family members, relatives and friends to have a good dinner without interruption of the traditional toast

3. For the second march-in, the couple came into the ballroom on a Harley Davidson! The engine was roaring at full majesty and everyone was amazed. (If you have a long straight aisle, it's the best)

4. Surprise the guests by having dessert buffet outside the ballroom with a myriad of various desserts like cakes, pastries, sweets, macaroons and other delights

5. Get buddies or mutual friends (without the couple's knowledge) to go on stage and share how the couple got to know each other and dated. Best time also to let loose some jovial moments

6. Get a good emcee (get someone whom is comfortable with speaking to a crowd and spontaneous).

** If you have come across some good ideas to share, be it in your wedding or others that you have attended, drop me a comment. Thanks **

Bukit Batok East Lunar New Year Celebration Dinner

Event: Bukit Batok East Lunar New Year Celebration Dinner
Date: 16th Feb 2008
Venue: Blk 283 Bukit Batok East Ave 4
Time: 7.30pm - 10.30pm
Pax: ~300


Style! emcee:

After the Chinese New Year break, it's time to get back to emceeing! Had a great new year of foodies and goodies (angbaos aka red packet).

Lunar New Year Celebration Dinner

This event was held to celebrate chinese new year together as one big Bukit Batok East family. The evening started with the arrival of distinguished guest Mdm Halimah Yacob, MP for Jurong GRC and Advisor to Jurong GRC GROs. The lion dance troup gave a rousing fanfare for her grand entrance, together with the thunderous applause accorded by the audience and guests. Upon her arrival, she was ushered onto the stage to partake in a mega "loh hei" (tossing of the chinese raw fish delicacy) accompanied by the other grassroots leaders. Every table had a plate of "loh hei" and instantaneously at that moment when the emcee gave the signal, strings of blessings and properous words were the predominant voices heard.

The variety program unfolded with various artistes and groups. The lion dance troupe led the evening with an auspicious and symbolic performance of "cai qing" (plucking the green). This performance according to chinese, means good luck, prosperity and good fortune. The chairman of Bukit Batok East Citizens' Consultative Committee was invited on stage to receive the lucky banner.

Following the grandeur of lion dance, next was a chinese dance performance by 3 young ladies. After that, we invited our first singer VJ, who is an entertaining indian singer with his song and dance. Although majority of the crowd couldn't understand the tamil songs, however everyone enjoyed the catchy beat of the songs. The evening rolled on with malay dance titled "Joget Silat" performed by Bukit Batok East MAEC.

The second segment was simply awesome. Not only was it entertaining, it was a great opportunity for me to meet singers from various walks of life. There was an indonesian chinese (couldn't remember her name) who belted out teochew and chinese tunes. Among the few singers, Cheryl Chan caught my attention. She was tall and poised, dressed in a nice flowy tube dress. Then later did I realise that she was the cast for the movie "I Not Stupid" (a local movie production that received tremendous viewership). She sang 2 chinese and 1 english song. The crowd had a fabulous time!

Another highlight of the evening was the acrobatic show performed by Choo and Geen. The crowd was totally amazed that despite their seniority, they were able to perform acrobatic stunts and tricks to wow the audience. Their finale item was the bending of the chinese spear using the throat. My heart was held in suspense as I witnessed them accomplished the amazing feat.

The finale highlight of the evening was an unusual twist of singing performance by 圣文 aka 泰国千变王子. He came out in a clown costume and sang 奇异的约会. It was totally hilarious! Within a minute, he went off stage and came back up in a policeman uniform of the olden days in Singapore when the policemen were all wearing short. He delivered another 2 songs (Teochew and Cantonese).

To complete the event, the crowd did a cheer together with the emcee. Each time the emcee shouted "Hip Hip", the crowd would go "Huat ah!". The cheer was repeated thrice and the entire compound was filled with echoes of the word.

I am sure the crowd had an awesome time at the dinner. Throughout the evening, there were throngs of passerby standing around and enjoying the performance too!

Date: 20th Jan 08
Time: 3pm - 6pm
Venue: Eastpoint Mall

Style! Emcee:

This week stage set up was amazing! Eastpoint Mall has set up a huge backdrop to spice up the Chinese New Year atmosphere, making the entire event a huge roar with the crowd!

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.

Balancing a knife on his forehead

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!

Chinese character "福"

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!

ICA Woodlands Command Night - Festival of Colours

Event: ICA Woodlands Command Night
Theme: Festival of Colours
Date: 18th Jan 2008
Venue: ICA Woodlands Command
Pax: ~300

Style! Emcee:

If you think these tough guys taking care of Singapore's busiest land checkpoint have dead serious personalities... Well, we saw the jovial, merry making side of them!

The sumptuous food and drinks were the fanfare overture opening of the event. All the guests had a delightful surprise when style! emcee announced "Dinner will now commence" right at the start of the event. In all events, there would generally be the opening speech and other formal segment, but this was the unique way of starting the event! As the saying goes, "Before all else happen, always put food in the tummy".

Roaring in the crowd was the famous and whimsical "Mustafa from Bombay, India", a character played by Rahim whom have been performing for more than 10 years. He delighted the crowd with songs and dances woven in while relating his life as Mustafa. Everyone loosened up and started clapping, cheering and crackling as Rahim unleashed his ammunition of jokes.

Next performance was by Nick the Magician. The beauty of performing magic tricks is the audience's interaction. Nick stunned the crowd with the Hand Chopper and invited a member of the audience to participate. The participant was looking terrified that his hand would be severed for real!

"In Singapore, there are only 3 magicians who can do the Hand Chopper successfully. I am trying to be the fourth one."

"Don't worry sir, if you lose your hand, you can always go to the 2nd-hand shop."

Finally it's time for the emcee to be in action! The emcee started his fun games segment with some acting and mimicking of famous movie stars. The guests whom participated left the rest ofthe audience laughing on their stomach when they try their hands at acting. It's hilarious!

With the mood heightened up and everyone's enjoying themselves, style! emcee delivered his next game, a combination of singing, dancing and table games. Surprisingly, the one who was most gamed for action, receiving the loudest encore and applause, was the oldest participant! He almost took the house down when he got into actions, dancing and singing like Ricky Martin! Impressive!

The finale of the event was a three cheers shout-out led by the emcee. Everyone united their spirit and commaderie as one big family, giving their best shout out.

Hip hip... Hurray!

Style! Emcee:

Eastpoint Mall is celebrating Chinese New Year over the next 3 weeks! There will be a variety of entertainment, games and giveaways for everyone at Eastpoint Mall.

Last sunday we saw the first event kicked off at Eastpoint. The crowd was treated to a myriad of shows such as the Eastpoint Fashion Show with models showcashing the latest style from This Fashion. The models donned fashion suited for various occassions ranging from office, casual to party.

The next item was a group of Singaporeans whom have been trained since young to perform chinese acrobatic acts. They demonstrated various acrobatic acts and the audience also had the chance to be part of their performance. Some of the tricks and stunts include, Face-Changing, Balancing acts, Swinging 20 Hula hoops and some acts of human contortions. Impressive!

Another well-received item was the Chinese Zodiac Balloon Sculpting where children had the opportunity to be given a sculpted balloon according to their year of birth. There was a long queue of children eagerly waiting for their turn. (Hey kids, if you missed your chance, don't worry. We will be there every week. So come join us!)

Style! Emcee hosted the event with the finale game of "Peeling Mandarin Oranges and forming the auspicious chinese word". 3 teams comprising of one parent and one kid took part in this contest. And guess what? We had a non-chinese team and it was their first time learning and writing a chinese character. The crowd was impressed with their ability to recognise their strokes and for putting the slices of oranges to form the word and gave them a huge round of applause. Cool!

If you missed out last sunday, don't worry. Come and join us this sunday!

Best Tech Air-con Engineering Pte Ltd Annual Dinner 2007

Event: Best Tech Air-con Engineering Pte Ltd Annual Dinner 2007
Date: 4th Jan 2008
Venue: Serangoon Gardens Country Club
Pax: ~60

Style! Emcee:

This is my first event in 2008!

Whenever I am asked whether it is easy to host an event for 1000 or 100, I always feel that it is more challenging to host an event for 100. An entire event without any performance except games and entertainment by the emcee is what I affectionately call it as "The Emcee's Test". Coupled with an audience of less than 100 pax, it is certainly a good routine for me to put my mettle to the test.

This event was certainly a good challenge with great success!

I started the first segment of fun and games with a simple table game. One advantage of small group setting is that it allows me to play a whole myriad of games that involved interaction among various tables. An event of more than 10 tables would not be as flexible and nimble to conduct table interaction games.

After the short warm up, getting the audience's attention and mood into fun and games, the first game was welcomed with great anticipation. Audience were treated to a splendid show of acting , mimicking and dancing by both the participants and I. The first entertainment segment lasted for 35minutes and the crowd was spontaneously cheering and laughing.

The next segment was the award presentation. One unique award was the Healthy Award, given to employees with zero medical leave within the entire year.

The 2nd fun game segment was a question and answer format. In this segment, I tested the audience's knowledge on songs of various genre. The crowd was totally awesome. Members of the audience were running towards the stage to give their answers and some were shouting the answers from their seats!

As it is with every dinner celebration, the finale is the lucky draw. The lucky draw numbers were placed in red packets (I guess Chinese New Year is coming) and audience were given the number of red packets based on the years of service. The prizes were simply fantastic!

The event ended on a high note with the audience giving loud applause for me as the emcee. I felt very appreciated and glad that everyone had a good time tonight.

What a great start to the new year~!!

A Great New Year Ahead - 2008

Dear All,

Thank you very much for your support and I certainly had a remarkable and wonderful time working with everyone in 2007.

I wish each and everyone Happy New Year and lots of great blessings ahead!
