H-Factor @ Kota Kinabalu
As some of you would have known by now, I was in Kota Kinabalu over the weekend for the H-Factor Creative Youth Workshop. Everyone was there in terms of the speakers except for David Lai who couldn’t make it due to some personal reasons.
Just like Penang and Johor’s workshop before this, the crowd was excellent, in fact, I believe this is the biggest crowd yet. Was told by Hannah and her team that even though they expect about 200 people, more than 300 people turned up for the workshop. (more…)

Last night, the ‘H’ Factor NCYW was launched at Werner’s @ Changkat in leading up to the 4 workshops spread across the country.

Pepsi’s Longest Dribble Challenge
Last Sunday, after returning from Malacca, I received a call from David inviting me over to Titiwangsa Park for the Pepsi’s Longest Dribble Challenge. And so around 8ish, I was picked up at the Damansara Jaya Petronas station and with Christien New and Lavin Seow, we headed over to the Titiwangsa Park.
The Eye of Malaysia
The traffic at that place was horrendous no thanks to having several events being cramped into one area resulting in a bad traffic crawl into the venue. Arriving at the place, all the artists was briefed by the organizers on what to do and where to stand before the arrival of the ball for the final stretch of the event.
Festival of Magic 2008
Last Thursday, received a call from David which goes “Hey Dude, what you doing tomorrow? Want to see some magic show or not?” and my natural reaction was .. SURE! And so, that’s how I got myself to Subang Parade on a Friday night after work to watch the 2nd round of a competition showcasing some of the new stars of the Magician Fraternity from around the world.
Floating hat, I want to learn how to do that!!
One of the crowd favorite, especially among the girls was this dude from Korea that does some robotic dance, quick mask changing and some very slick tricks.
Mary Poppin of China… j/k!
The other was a guy from China, according to David Lai, he is one of the rising stars in Asia. Garnering loud cheers at all his tricks mostly played around umbrellas which he could summon continuously out of “thin air”.
StrippedSteph the Magician…….’s assistant
The show ends with a performance by our very own Malaysian Magician which did some nice tricks using a large box. At one point of the performance, he even managed to pull StrippedSteph up to the stage to be part of the show! How nice…
