The event was a great success! The families came with kids all dressed up in various costumes. One of the special highlight of the event was fancy dress costume contest, using only recycled material. The "go-green" idea was well-received and a very innovative idea by the organizing committee to link Halloween with being environmentally friendly. Well done!
I met great people within the organizing committee, Shahreen, Ken Toh and Angela Ho. Very delightful people and certainly filled with zest. Contributing their time and effort to organize and make this a great success for the community. Well done!
There were performances by Vivian as Sweetheart the Balloon Witch and also Alfred the Magician. It was so much fun for the kids~!
Happy Halloween to all!!

Here are some of the photos for the event!
The first session of the event was for the media...
Backdrop in chinese...
Welcoming the event with excitement and enthusiasm...
"We are giving away free business class tickets!"
Describing the Airbus A380...
"Did you know that the Airbus A380 is HUGE??"
Guest of Honour delivering his speech...
When the night falls, the ballroom was rearranged with cocktail reception...
Behind the screen is a marvel of display
The PPS Club members and their guests
Squinting my eyes. The name is in fine print...
As our lucky winner comes onto the stage...
"Ahh.. There you are. I can see you from afar!"
Me stealing glances at our pretty SIA stewardess
This pretty lady and I are born in the same day, month and year! I think even same time!
How come most events organizers are ladies?
Look of success - Sitting on the throne of the first class seat

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

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.

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.
Big Kid @ Work?
