Day 1 (5th Aug)

$289 gets you to go for all the fantastic workshops, open stage shows, camp site to sleep , Oylmpiahalle to practise or to watch other jugglers practise. Its definitely worth it!!

After registered we start to look for our campsite
Manage to meet Oli from England ( I met him when he was in Singapore last year) so he manage to guide me to camp at the "Contact Juggling.Org" campsite area. It was a pleasure to camp with all the great contact jugglers there.

This is my tent! :)

After setting up my tent we went to walk back to Olympiahalle. (where the jugglers usually practise)

One of a great diabolist I saw when i entered the Hall ( 4 Diabolo low)
After that we walk back to our camp site for a rest and then we went to catch the first open stage at 8 30pm.

The great jugglers/performers during the open stage

April fool's day

Today is a good day!

starting from 10am, great workshop till 3pm.
then followed by a fun busking audition at 4pm (met many friendly buskers there)
after the audition i spoke to the NAC incharge, we had a long chat on about the busking scene in Singapore and how can we improve it. I hope I've given her some great feedbacks so that she can do something to help us.

After I left the audition place (National Library), I went to clarke quay for dinner. (I goes to clarke quay at least 4 times a week) after dinner i went to my busking location.

Today, the young musician and the dancing uncle was busking on the bridge too!
The uncle took the left, the musician on the centre so i took the right.
Since the young musician reach 1 min earlier than me, I decided to let him busk for awhile before I start. (we are quite close to 1 another and his speaker is LOUD!!!)
I start my first show at 8pm, tough crowd to start my show, maybe too many different music on the bridge. (too noisy, I tried to hint to the musician that i'm starting my show but he nvr lower his speaker volume. Luckily my MACKIE SRM 150 did me proud! Manage to blast a little louder than normal so that people can hear my music.) I manage to get a reasonable crowd and start the show at 8 15pm. Took a 20mins break, then followed by my 2nd show at 9pm. After the 2nd show, I pack up and leave for home...

Today's street performance is fun and enjoyable, I met many nice audience.

Street Performer Willie

Sometimes I wonder do people live to work or work to live?
I want to live a meaningful life:
by doing things that i enjoy
by working towards my dream to become the No. 1 performer in Singapore
and hopefully i can inspire others to go for their dreams too.. :)



Live your Dream, stay happy!!! :)

The greatest performers are from the street!!



People I know in this pic: Kera, kohji kohji kohen, Tomi, Chiki, Naoko, Shin Chan, Hiyro, Tikurino, Miss Sulivan and Robot Nozomi

恩人结婚

Chiki & Naoko plays a very big part in my life.
Chiki changed my view about being a performer.

Without Chiki's help and guidance I won't be doing what I'm doing now.

He encourage me to do street performance, he teach me everything he knows even if its something he used for his performance / his signature moves.

Naoko is a very nice girl very help me a lot when i was in Japan. She's my jap - eng translator. :)


On 2月22日

They got married!!!

I'm so happy for them!!!

Chiki looks as dashing as always and Naoko looks so sweet & cute!
I hope I can be like Chiki!!! :)
Chiki, do you still remember? I am the best performer in Singapore!!! hahahahaha
