In the meantime, i'll be taking a break, going on a mentally relaxing holiday. I'll be resting my mind so as to gather new inspirations and ideas to present a new fantastic show for you!

I love you! (But no intention of marrying you)

Sincerely,

Kiki Tay

"Just Kiki Kidding!" Received TWO FULL HOUSE STANDING OVATION!!

Thanks everybody, for making my dream come true. Thanks for all your support. This journey has been tough but it has been worth the effort. I will be posting pictures, videos and all the printed media online soon. Do check back to see more!

Day 32 - Kiki Tay, Wanted by Many!

2008-06-17T08:14:00.000-07:00

Today we rehearsed at Moe’s place again. While making my way to moe’s place, I found a poster of myself at the lift lobby. I immediately marveled at how good-looking I looked, but it seems like someone drew a moustache on my face in one of my picture. I wonder if it was Judy who did this. Anyway, upon inspecting the poster, I noticed some words on it. After an hour of checking the dictionary, I was surprised to find out that the police academy was actually looking for me! I didn’t expect them to go through this extend to find me. It must be my passion and enthusiasm that had inspired them. Anyway they could have gotten me by calling me on my mobile, or used the pigeon I left with them. When I called my ex-superior to tell him my situation, he decided to let the matter rest as long as I return my uniform. I will send in my uniform tomorrow, despite my girlfriend wanting me to keep it for another night. Anyway if you happen to see this poster in the streets, do help me rip it off! Thanks! Hope to see you at my show! Get your tickets here!

Day 31 - Moephosis!

2008-06-11T11:28:00.000-07:00

It's just slightly more than a week to our show and we're busy like hell! The past weeks we had rehearsals at Moephosis! My good friend Moe Kasim’s incredible costume shop! Moe is an incredibly talented costume designer; he had won numerous awards for his designs! He was recently nominated the “Golden Horse Award” (金馬獎) for his incredible costume designs in the movie “881”. Well, Moe was kind enough to help us with some of our costumes for our show and even lent us his spacious shop to rehearse in. We happily made use of this opportunity to fulfill some of our fantasies.

Buy Tickets to catch the show NOW! One more week to SHOWTIME!! Get your tickets here!

Day30 - My Acrobatic Act!

2008-06-11T09:08:00.000-07:00

We had been extremely busy these few weeks, thus I couldn’t find time to update all my fans on what has been going on. While we were busy busy, it was all fun fun fun! Anyway, since the last time I fell off the toilet window, my leg is still giving me problems. I can’t walk properly, neither can I run or jump… it is just not possible. I had this acrobatic act in my show where I do a triple somersault, double backflips and ends with a 20 revolution upside-down head-roll. I guess I’ll have to take it out of my show since I’m still stuck with this leg injury. Anyway, after I told my friend Daniel from GateCrash about what had happened to me while I was researching for the ERP system, he felt sorry for me and decided to SPONSOR my show! Yippee! I was so overwhelmed with joy! I was so happy that I ran around jumping up and down, did a double back-flip and hugged Daniel (We did not kiss). I was so happy yet at the same time felt bad that I couldn't do the acrobatic act for you in my show due to my injury. I hope I recover soon so that I can at least do the high-wire tight-rope walking act. Don't miss this amazing show! Grab your tickets at http://www.gatecrash.com.sg/ now!!

Day 29 - There's Always A Way Out...

2008-05-26T07:53:00.000-07:00

Today is the first day of my police training, in case you are wondering what my show has to do with me joining the police force, it’s a long story… You can start from this post here, or if you’re new to this blog, read from the bottom up! Anyway, first day of police training, I sat down in the classroom and got the schedule for the week. It is then I found out that I have to sit through a six-hour lecture everyday for the next two weeks!! I then realized I don’t have the time as I have rehearsals for our show every day in the evening for the next two weeks! I have to somehow back out of being a police without creating a big hoo-haa. Or a big hoo-hoo-haaa-haa-bwahahahaha… I excused myself to the toilet while thinking of a way out this long lecture. While in the toilet, I realized that there is an opened window in the toilet that leads out of the fence, if only they hadn’t ran out of toilet paper, I would have something to break the fall. Anyway I climbed out the window and took the leap. I fell down and injured my leg. I now walk with a limp. But luckily I managed to get a cab and got to rehearsal on time. I hope my leg recovers soon! I will explain to the guys at the police academy tomorrow… or the day after, or next week. Whatever!

Day 28 - Buy Tickets Or I'll Shoot You!

2008-05-24T11:18:00.000-07:00

Today is the first day of my police enrollment. They have some funny exercises that we have to go through before we qualify to be in the training. The exercises involved looking at a poster full of different sizes alphabets one eye at a time, exercises that test your courage like draining some blood from your arm etc. And some other exercises which involved peeing in a cup. Once completed, they have a strange ritual that everybody must perform before being allowed into the training. The ritual involves dropping your pants and coughing. I have no idea what the ritual signifies but I did it anyway. I’m just glad I don’t have to bend over. Anyway I’m now in the force, and now have greater power in forcing you to buy tickets! Remember my “If you don’t buy tickets, I’ll beat you” strategy? I’ll be changing it to “If you don’t buy tickets, I’ll shoot you!” strategy! So buy tickets now or I’ll shoot you when I get my gun! You can get tickets at all post offices or SAM Machines island-wide, or choose your seats from GateCrash’s Website here!

Day 27 - Just Judee!

2008-05-24T10:38:00.000-07:00

Today was a frustrating day, my MacBook had some problem and couldn’t start. Many of my important documents are inside, including my production documents, scripts, promotional materials, music etc. And I could not go on with my show until I have access to it. Luckily I happened to meet my friend Judy Tan today and she offered to help me with my problem. I passed her my MacBook and she managed to get it working again within half a day. I was so thankful until I found out that she had kept some of my personal pictures from my “personal collection”. She had promised not to release them only if I help her promote her upcoming show in my blog… Of course, being a manly real man, I will not give in to this kind of threat. But then again, Judy is such a nice person, so pretty, so talented, so kind, so helpful, so great… She is one of the best theater actress/singer in the whole wide world!! And her show is going to be soooooo good! It’s called “JUST Judee” which I thought sounded like the name of another production I came across recently, but I can’t recall which. Anyway, other than coming to my show “JUST Kiki Kidding!” do also and check out her show “JUST Judee!” Because she is such a nice person, so talented, so pretty so… blah blah blah… you get the idea! She doesn’t look like herself in this picture. Someone drew a moustache to it... I don’t know who drew it but it is definitely not me… Really, Judy! It’s not me!!… I didn’t draw the moustache in poster! Please please do not release my erm… personal pictures!! Click on her poster to find out more (And to see the real her!!)

Day 26 - All Out For The Extra Income!

2008-05-21T22:04:00.000-07:00

Today I got out of the detention center with no charges as they found the reason of me climbing up the ERP Gantry to be rather amusing. I thanked the Policemen/NPCC (I can’t tell the difference)and offered them free tickets to my show. Anyway, I asked them how I can find out more about the ERP Gantry without breaking the law, they jokingly(or not) said “Join the POLICE!” I thought about it for a while and decided to go for it. After all, it has been one of my dreams to be a policeman! I also wanted to be a sexy nurse but I won’t go into detail. Anyway, I’ve enrolled myself into the police force and I will tell you more about it tomorrow… or the day after, or next week. Whatever!

Day 25 - Extra Income part 2

2008-05-18T23:38:00.000-07:00

Today I went to research on the ERP system for my production in June. I climbed up one of the ERP gantry and made an interesting discovery! I discovered that if I turn the ERP sensor around, cars that goes through the gantry will have money added into their CashCard instead of being deducted! I’ll share with you more about it when I’m out of the detention center. Yes, I know nowadays you can get internet access easily anywhere in Singapore, including detention centers, thus making plans are relatively easy. I will be making a trip to the toilet soon, I will update you on my progress tomorrow, or the day after… or next week. In the meantime, do buy tickets to my show if you haven't done so!! "Just Kiki Kidding!" 29th June (Sunday) 3pm or 8pm @ Jubilee Hall, Raffles Hotel. Guaranteed satisfaction otherwise your money back! I am serious! If I’m not entirely satisfied with your money, I WILL give you back! So there’s NO RISK! Grab your tickets now!!

Day 24 - Extra Income!

2008-05-17T01:58:00.000-07:00

Today I met up with my dear friend Daniel Tang from GateCrash. Daniel is an incredibly talented IT guy who develops multi-million-dollar software systems. He is also currently involved in some software research in NUS and he is going to be Dr. Daniel Tang after his made his contributions to the research. Great! I have this itch in my pants that wouldn’t go away, once he becomes Dr. Tang, I can get free consultation from him! Anyway, the reason I’ve met up with him is that I was hoping to get his help in developing this ERP idea that I had to reduce traffic flow to the toilet during intermission. My objective is like the government, it's PURELY to reduce traffic flow, not to make money… really. Anyway, the idea was to develop a “walk-in” ERP system that deducts money from the EZ-Link card rather than an IU, as I had spent some time to survey over 100 people to find out that most Singapore don’t carry their IU with them when they leave their vehicle. Anyway, Daniel told me that he will need information on the existing ERP gantry in order to develop our own, so somehow I have to figure out how it works. I’ll work on it tomorrow and will keep you guys updated on my progress! In the meantime, if you haven't get tickets for "Just Kiki Kidding!" do so now! Tickets are going fast!! Find out more here or choose your seats here! Also, do remember to top up your EZ-Link card before coming to the show...

Day 23 - 2 Million Dollar Sponsorship!!

2008-05-15T02:38:00.000-07:00

Today I met up with my dear friends Harry & Jane from EVO Communications. They are nice sincere people who had been helping me a lot in my career. I’ve approached Harry with a plead for sponsorship for my show. At first he didn’t seem interested in giving me free money, but when I told him that I am going to make an F16 appear in my show, he was more interested than ever! Finally I shared a great secret with him on how to make money using the ERP system and Taxi meter, he made an offer to sponsor me in my production! Yeah!! I’ve added his company EVO Communications to our sponsor list and billed him $2,000,000. He is going to pay me in 10,000 easy payment of $200/year. He had also given me an idea to increase my income for the show. I am going to add an ERP Gantry to the door of the theater to reduce the amount of traffic flow to the washroom during intermission. We are now working on how to develop a system whereby we make deductions on an individual’s EZ-link card instead of needing an IU. I’ve also somehow promised Harry that I’m going to make an F16 Appear. Now I stuck with the problem of how to actually do it… hmmm… Maybe i should consult the Guru of Magic... Or maybe...

Day 22 - Miss Molena Afalangie!

2008-05-15T01:45:00.000-07:00

As you know, I haven’t put up a blog entry for days and I have an excellent explanation for it; laziness. I find the need to start updating blog entries again because of some "write your blog or i beat you!" threats. Actually we had been working hard at rehearsals, just that nothing funny had happened as we are a bunch of serious, no-nonsense people who doesn’t joke around. Anyway, today we had our rehearsal in Mrs. Naidu’s house again, Mrs Naidu was not around as I heard she went for some pilgrimage in India. We had a visitor that came to our rehearsal. Miss Molena Afalangie. She is my distant relative. She stays in Tampinese and I stay in Clementi (Quite a distant) Anyway, she is my mom’s sister’s brother’s mom’s daughter (My Aunt). Miss Molena Afalangie is quite an entertainer herself as I heard from my mom that she won some performing competition and is some celebrity in some TV station. She had been living in Hong Kong for many years but came to reside in Singapore. My mom forced me to bring her around but I am busy with rehearsal so I got her to join me instead, after my rehearsal maybe I’ll bring her to see some of Singapore’s most famous monument like the Merlion and the ERP Gantries. Anyway, she’s got quite an adventure to share with us and I will tell you about it tomorrow... or maybe the day after. Or maybe next week. Sometimes I tend to procrastinate a bit. I’ll tell you about my procastination problems tomorrow… or the day after. Or maybe next week...

Day 21 - Secrets of Magical Wealth!

2008-05-11T02:47:00.000-07:00

Today, I spent some time with the Guru of Magic, Mr. Francis Ang! He agreed to come to my house today to work with me on my show, when he pulled up at my driveway, I was surprised to find out that he drives a Porsche! When he got out of his car, he places a big cloth over his car and made it vanish! I was shocked! What a cool way to save on parking fees! When he got into my house, I offered him to make himself a drink and he did. He made a can of coke appear from inside his shoe! But after he drank it, he says it tasted like feet. When I asked him how he gets his money to afford a Porsche and he lets me in on his secret. He told me that he had made a huge discovery! He told me that aside from a profitable tanning-lotion business that he just bought; most of his income mainly comes from driving his car backward into ERP gantries… And thus money is added to his cashcard instead of being deducted! Such a simple theory yet nobody discovered! He also mentioned that he is able to convince unsuspecting taxi drivers to drive backward so that at the end of the journey, the taxi driver owes him money instead. He told me not share this secret with anyone, so I won’t be sharing it with you. I’ll just give you a hint; it’s got something to do with “ERP” and “Taxi meters!” go figure! Anyway we had worked out an incredible act for “Just Kiki Kidding!” You won’t want to miss it! Tickets are going fast! So if you haven’t grab your tickets, DO SO NOW!!

Day 20 - How did this picture get here?!

2008-05-09T08:39:00.000-07:00

We didn’t rehearse today, but instead we went for costume fitting. While I was changing, Daryl secretly took a picture of me! I’ve only found out about this when he sent it to me later in the evening. I wanted to get rid of this picture because I thought I look fat in it, but somehow, mysteriously, someone uploaded it to this blog post. I tried to delete it but somehow I can’t. Please keep it to yourself. Please DO NOT circulate this picture! DO NOT “right click” and “save target as”, then select a folder and a name to save it. eg. “Mr Hunky Kiki Tay” etc. Do not send it to all your friends on MSN messenger. Also, DO NOT click on the “attach file” on your e-mail editor and select the filename you previously saved the picture as, click on “attach” to attach the file to send it to everyone on your contact list. Also, please DON’T print out this picture from this hi-res link and paste it all over your wall or the wall of your workplace… I am a very shy person, very modest and humble... I do not want all the attention. I hope you can respect that. If you need more instructions or you have problem trying to send it to all you friends, do let me know. I’ll try to help you with it although I strongly disapprove of it…

Day 19 - "V" Short Film!!

2008-05-08T12:18:00.000-07:00

While working on our production, we never stop having fun! Check out the short film we made! It's called "V" Short Film. You must be wondering what the "V" stands for... watch it and you'll soon find out! Enjoy!

Day 18 - Amazing Moments!!

2008-05-08T11:33:00.000-07:00

Today I got to meet Francis Ang, the legendary guru of magic! I was surprised how young and friendly he was. He greeted me with a smile and offered me a glass of coke. When I told him I don’t drink coke, he magically made a pass and the glass of coke magically becomes a glass of coke light! I was so amazed and at the same time slightly disturbed by the way he made a pass on me. I drank the coke light and it tasted great! Just like coke, only lighter! Zero calories! I felt like I lost some weight just by drinking it! He then pointed to a plant beside his office table and about a dozen oranges magically bloomed from the plant! “How about some orange juice?” he asked. I was blown away!! That was the most incredible thing I’ve seen since Mrs. Naidu’s sari broke! I immediately asked if he could help me and he agreed. We talked for about an hour, and he helped me worked out the many ideas that I had. I won’t share with you what we worked on as it will be a surprise when you come to watch the show LIVE! Just a hint, it’s got something to do with water!

Day 17 - The Great Guru of Magic - Francis Ang!

2008-05-05T10:53:00.000-07:00

Lately I’ve been quite frustrated with some of my magic. There are some tricks/illusions I wanted to accomplish but just can’t find the best method/spells to get it right. My uncle’s friend’s brother’s girlfriend’s sister’s tuition teacher’s gynaecologist told me that there is this great young Magic Guru named ‘Francis Ang’ that could help me. I’ve heard of his name before but have never met him. I’ve decided to go on an adventure to great distances to find this great Guru of Magic! I tried everything I could to track him down, I did a search on the internet, called all my friends and even looked under my carpet, but had no leads at all, when I was about to give up, one of my friend called me… He called me a quitter... I was so upset that I became even more determined to track down this ‘Francis Ang’ guy. After a few more calls I finally managed to get Francis’ number from my friend Georgie. I called the number that Georgie gave me and Francis’ assistant picked up the phone. I asked him where I could find Francis and he told me that Francis is in Meditation! I looked up my street directory but can’t find Meditation… it must be near Sembawang or something. I shouldn’t have hung up the phone so soon. I called back again and managed to speak to him. He had agreed to meet me tomorrow! I am so excited! I will update you on our meeting tomorrow!

Day 16 - Flame of Asia - Danny Koh!

2008-05-05T09:17:00.000-07:00

I was walking down the street today and I saw my friend Danny Koh! We haven’t met in years and it was great bumping into him! We sat down and had a long talk, before the police came and told us not to sit in the middle of a busy road. We reluctantly shifted. Anyway, we sat down at a café and had a good chat. He told me that he had sold his multi-million-dollar tanning lotion business and is now semi-retired. He now has more time to work on his passion for fire art. When I asked him what he meant, he took out a lighter and swallowed it. He then opened his mouth and breathes of fire kept pouring out from his mouth! I was shocked and also blacken by the soot! That was an amazing act! I immediately asked if he is willing to guest star in my show and he agreed! That will be something worth looking forward to in my show! Do not miss it! Also, do not sit in the first few row! “Just Kiki Kidding!” 29th June 2008 @ The Jubilee Hall, Raffles Hotel. Find out more here or purchase tickets here!

Day 15 - New Reasons To Buy Tickets!

2008-05-04T03:34:00.000-07:00

Recently, ticket sales have been going slow… In my desperate effort to sell more tickets, I’m adopting a new “violent marketing” technique. It’s a new kind of marketing approach I’ve created whereby if you don’t buy tickets, I will beat you! Remember, I am the student of Myojomi Dojo! Anyway, this method has proven effective so far. I’ve beaten up 3 of my friends and they have all bought tickets after that. So please buy tickets soon to avoid a beating! I will send you more information when I’m out of the hospital. (I am a victim of the “stop forcing me or I beat you!” method) I’ve also been thinking about adopting other methods of marketing, like the “don’t friend you” method or the “I tell teacher” approach… It has worked for me during my earlier days, I wonder if it will still work now.

Day 14 - Mrs Naidu & Son

2008-05-03T21:20:00.000-07:00

We have been talking about Mrs. Naidu for a long time, yet many of you have not met her (lucky you). Here is a video of Arvind & Mrs. Naidu. This was shot when Arvind "Siva" Naidu was nominated for the "NS Man of the Year" award. This video is edited and directed by my dear friend Wai Kit Kun (aka Stone Kun). You will get to meet him in my later sequels of "Just Kiki Kidding!" In the meantime, enjoy this video!
*Warning, may need eye medicine or mental therapy to recover from watching some parts.

*WARNING - This video is NOT suitable for children!!

Day 13 - Need Eye Medicines and Mental Therapy...

2008-05-01T22:53:00.000-07:00

Today I finally understand why the F1 Grand Prix Singapore race is held at night. Can you imagine the ERP they have to pay if they were to race in the day? Gosh, imagine 70 laps... *beep* *beep* *beep* *beep* *beep* *beep* *beep* *beep* *beep* *beep* *beep* *beep* *beep* *beep* *beep* *beep* *beep* *beep* *beep* *beep* *beep* *beep* *beep* *beep* *beep* *beep* *beep* and many more!!

Anyway, back to our production...Today we continue to rehearse Arvind’s item, it was great, but Mrs Naidu has much complains about my direction. She claims that she used to be an extremely popular dancer back in “her days” and she offered her ideas to us. To help us further understand what she meant, she even demonstrated some of the dance moves herself. During one of the more extreme moves, part of her sari tore and we saw things that we didn’t want to see… in our entire life… We had to cancel our dinner plans and also to stop rehearsal immediately so that we can all go home and rest. It is only for our own good that we do so… Anyway, we have been working hard to bring you an EXCELLENT SHOW! And we promise not to show you things that you weren’t suppose to see! So do not hesitate! If you haven’t grab your tickets, DO SO NOW!! Tickets are going fast! Grab them before they’re gone!! You can see the amount of seats left at GateCrash's website!! Some good seats are already gone! Hurry! don't wait!! Get them now!!

Day 12 - Crocodile Curry

2008-04-30T12:18:00.000-07:00

We need to save money from Vivien’s sponsorship as we had spent most of it on our meeting venue. We have to stop having meetings at Zouk... Anyway, to save money (or rather to recover loss) we had our rehearsal back at Mrs Naidu’s house. It was great! We had crocodile curry for lunch, this time we made sure the smell was from the curry itself. Anyway, Mrs Naidu was in tears when she was making the crocodile curry. It almost felt like she was sorry for the crocodile but we highly doubt so. We were trying to find a phrase to describe this but we just can’t can't find the right words for it... Anyway, today we continued rehearsing Arvind’s act. We found a suitable female partner for his item. We’ll keep it a secret for now, but I’m sure you will definitely like the singer/dancer that’s gonna play as Arvind’s partner! She is as good as me! I swear!! Come to the show to find out who this mysterious but famous celebrity is! Definitely entertaining!! Don’t miss it! Grab your tickets NOW!!! Find out more at my website http://www.kikitay.com/ !

Day 11 - Our First Sponsorship!

2008-04-29T22:46:00.000-07:00

Today we were back at Vivien’s studio; we helped clean up her studio a bit. We believe in cleanliness, thus we cannot stand the mess all over the floor! We pushed the mess into a corner instead. That frees up almost 50% of the studio space! Now we have more space to rehearse our bigger items! Anyway, we brought a couple to cats here today as we found rats running around yesterday. I wonder why there could be rats in a studio. We set the cats loose and they went to do their job while we carried on with our work. Before we could start on my fire-eating, Vivien walked in and she commented about the fire, the mess in the corner, the rats, the cats (Which we helpfully brought it over to HELP HER with her rat problem) and the charcoal steamboat that we left over from yesterday’s quick snack , and also the socks we have left on the floor. She mentioned that was a little concern about the state of her studio. We explained our principle and our high moral integrity that we won’t let this be, and we will definitely pick up the socks, once we “inee minee mai-nee mo” the right person to do it. She didn’t seem content, I wonder why. Anyway, being a nice person she is, she understands our lack of budget and offered some money to us in helping us rent a nicer place to rehearse in, as she feels that we deserve a nicer place rather than her “crappy small” studio. We happily took her money and added her company 'Zephyhdom’ to our sponsor list! It must have been our passion and enthusiasm in our craft that had inspired her! We will continue to work hard to come up with new and better ideas so as not to disappoint her! Anyway, Vivien if you are reading this blog, sorry for the pile of dirt under the carpet, we have no idea how it got there! We’ll help you clean up immediately after we find the broom! We must have left it in your fridge or something…

Day 10 - Nice People...

2008-04-29T01:38:00.000-07:00

I woke up late today and was late for rehearsal. I wonder who posted the previous blog post as it sure wasn’t me! Can’t remember what happened yesterday, but well, we have to put the past aside and move on! Today was a great day! Although I was late for rehearsal, all my guys had been quite patiently waiting for me, not a single word of complain! In fact, they were smiling very happily when we were rehearsing the whole day today! Nice people! I really love working with happy sincere people!! We spent most of the time today planning the timing and sequence of the show, as well as the music cues, lighting and rigging plans. It was hard work, but fun! After our rehearsal, we went for supper at newton circle and the people there were very friendly also. Many people who had passed by me, smiled at me. I guess my popularity had grown tremendously! Those people must have seen me performed somewhere before. Well, it pays to be a celebrity magician! Life is great! I went back home after supper and after removing my shirt, I saw a piece of paper accidentally stuck to my back, on it was written “Late Bastard” someone must have written these words for a tombstone of someone named “Mr. Bastard” or something. That piece of paper had somehow blown off a table, out a window and got stuck to the back of my shirt accidentally. Probably while I was walking back to my house from my car. Anyway, I wondered which poor guy had passed away. What a sad name. Imagine someone named “bastard”… Sounded like some character in Austin Power’s movie or something.

Day 9 - Frustrating Head Breaks Metal Tray!

2008-04-28T03:20:00.000-07:00

We didn’t bo much today accept for working in my karate routine. I practicing and practiced for the entire the bay but still can’t right get it. It’s bean frustrating! That aside, we had a six-course candlelight dinner today at the studio is a great place to have six course candle dinner because it looked like we having 12 candles because of mirror the studio in. So funny it was. Vivien didn’t join us, don’t know why. So back to the karate routine I practicing is hard makes dizzy me. Trying to break the metal tray with me’s head. What am I was thinking of. Anyway practice stop-non makes me dizzy and feeling wired the whole day. Baryl ask me stop to practice and before I get brane damage. He say me say things funnyly. Crazy of him.

It’s good show I warrantee! Goodnight!

Day 8 - Karate Kix!

2008-04-28T02:58:00.000-07:00

Let me start today’s production blog entry by telling you about my dear friend Vivien. Vivien is a great gal! She has been someone who had believed in me for many many years! Whenever I need help, she is always there for me. Vivien is also the reason behind the success of my career, she was the one who brought me into the entertainment scene and I am forever grateful! She also owns a highly successful company named “Zephyhdom” Check out her blog HERE!
Anyway, being a nice person that she is, had allowed us to rehearse at her dance studio for the past week. We were so grateful to her that we were considering clearing up the mess we made in her studio. Anyway, we’ll discuss more about that tomorrow, or maybe the day after, or maybe next week. Pizza stains are tough to clean, you know… And there’s always use for used Mcdonald packaging and empty chili sauce sachet… We’ll leave it there for the time being. Anyway today we started rehearsing my other acts. We were supposed to work on my mime act but I haven’t got time to write the script yet. So we decided to move on to work on my karate act instead. Yes, I have a karate act in my show where I break a metal tray in two using my head!! I train under the great, highly respected grand-master, Master Myojomi! However, I have not much success so far but will continue to work on it. I will update you on my progress tomorrow. I am definitely going to perfect this karate act for my show, and you’ll have the honor to watch it LIVE! Do remember to buy tickets to the show if you want to find out what it’s all about! Tickets are selling fast!! Hurry!!

Day 7 - Georgie Georgie...Who?

2008-04-26T08:25:00.000-07:00

We went back to my friend Vivien’s studio for rehearsal today. However she advised us not to “make ourselves at home” anymore and even requested that we remove our computer, fridge, bed, our stack of magazines and our BBQ pit from the studio and back to our own home instead. We reluctantly agreed. And she carried on letting us use the space for free. Arvind and Mrs Naidu didn’t come today as Arvind had to bring her to see a doctor. We had no idea what had happened to Mrs Naidu but we heard it’s got something to do with leg hair… We’ll find out when Arvind gets back.
Anyway, today we rehearsed my act. We worked on a “Magic Drawing” routine. As many of you know, I am extremely talent in drawing. In fact, my drawings of portraits are so realistic that one of my drawings actually COMES ALIVE in one of my act! I’m not Kiki Kidding!! I’ll try to post a video of that act, but do come to my show to see it live!! Anyway, this magic drawing act is inspired by my good friend “Georgie” In fact, the portrait I draw in my act is actually a picture of “Georgie”. We have been separated for a long time but have recently got back in touch, he will make a guest appearance at my show “Just Kiki Kidding!” so don’t miss out! He’s really a nice guy and you’ll be glad to meet him! Oh, did I mention that he is also a great entertainer?

Day 6 - The Return Of The Emu Curry!

2008-04-24T20:31:00.000-07:00

Today we rehearsed at a new venue, no more public toilet, no longer at Mrs Naidu’s house! One of my good friends Vivien offered to lend us her dance studio for us to rehearse in, and it was great! She told us to make ourselves at home and we did! We sat around topless, drinking beer, picking our noses, scratching our crotch and watching soccer on her 42” LCD TV until Mrs Naidu walks in. She came to watch (spy on) Arvind rehearse. I immediately put my pants back on and welcomed her. Something strange happened immediately after which I can’t put my hands on. When Mrs Naidu took off her shoes, the room suddenly filled with the smell of the emu curry she cooked a few days ago. We started to wonder if that smell was indeed, from the emu curry… We were a little disturbed but did not let it show on our faces. We carried on our rehearsal on Arvind’s song and dance item. During rehearsal, we realized that Arvind will need a female singer/dancer to complete his act. We were quite frustrated at deciding who to get at such short notice. We then decided not to carry on with rehearsal but to go out and buy some air fresheners instead. When we came back to the studio, Mrs Naidu has already left. We have 4 cans of unused air freshener for sale! 4 cans of “Green Tea” and 2 cans of “Summer Breeze” Fragrance (We cannot stand the smell of Lavender or Lemon anymore. See this previous post to find out why) Anyway, we are working hard to bring you a good show in June, if you haven't get your tickets, DO SO NOW!! 40% are already gone! Grab them before they are all sold out!! You can find out more here or buy tickets here!

Day 5 - Arvind Naidu... Our Hero!

2008-04-23T23:21:00.000-07:00

Many of you do not know, but I consider education as a very important part of life. In fact, I’ve spent more than 3 years studying the distinguished Harvard University’s application form. I currently hold a degree in diploma with a major in minor. Well, back to the progress of the show. Today we rehearsed at Mrs. Naidu’s house again. Mrs. Naidu wasn't around, I heard she went to play LAN gaming with her friends or something... Today we mainly choreographed and rehearsed Arvind’s song and dance item. It was great! Not only does Arvind have an incredibly big nose, he is also an extremely talented performer! If you happened to have seen him on TV (Vasatham Central) you probably won’t miss him! He is the SUPER HIGH-ENERGY outstanding dancer at the background when I say “outstanding”, I literally mean OUT-STANDING!! If he were to perform beside a bollywood superstar, he will outshine that superstar by a full 1,000 lumens! You’ll see what I mean when you come to watch the show “Just Kiki Kidding!” If you haven’t get your tickets, do so now!! Click here for ticketing info!

Day 4 - New Rehearsal Space!!

2008-04-23T09:51:00.000-07:00

Things have been going great with rehearsals! We have upgraded to a nicer rehearsal venue! At Mrs. Naidu’s house! Her house smells better than our last rehearsal venue. Probably because of the curry she’s cooking. (rumor has it that she cooks emu curry, an exotic delicacy!) She offered some to us, but we refused. I’m not really into exotic food. Anyway, Mrs. Naidu is a nice lady, her son Arvind Naidu is gonna be in our show, thus we are rehearsing at his house, or should I say, HER house. I’ve used my ultra talented skill to draw a detailed picture of her house to give you an idea how it looks like. See the picture here. Anyway, her house is indeed very unique. She has this crazy obsession of cleanliness; we can almost describe the entire place as practically “empty” except for her XXL sized underwear that is hanging out to dry in the balcony. It’s a bit disturbing but who are we to complain? This place is much better than our previous rehearsal space! I’ll update you on our rehearsals and new ideas tomorrow! Do buy your tickets before they are all sold out! for info at www.KikiTay.com or get your tickets at www.GateCrash.com.sg

My Production Team - Sales/Marketing Manager, Mr. Daryl John Ho

2008-04-23T09:24:00.000-07:00

My production team is great! Especially Daryl! I wanted to credit him but he doesn’t like to have his picture taken, so instead, I’ve made a drawing of him so that I can show it to all of you! Yes, I know! I am a GREAT artist! Many people SWEAR that my drawings are extremely life-like! I’ll ask them to leave me some constructive comments once they stop swearing! Anyway, drawing is one of my many talents. I am so talented that I was voted “Most Talented Son” by my parent. Well, anyone who needs an artist to have any designs or drawings done; now you know who to look for! My fees are relatively cheap! Just $200/hr or 2 plates of chicken rice. Anyway, here is a picture of Daryl Ho, he looks EXACTLY like in the picture I drew, except he is skinnier in real-life. Note- some of you may think my drawing is so life-like that it is actually a photo. I swear it is NOT! It’s my actual hand-drawn drawing! See my drawings here

Moscow Circus...

2008-04-22T09:23:00.000-07:00

It’s always so easy to lose focus. I am so busy with my production “Just Kiki Kidding!” yet I have never stopped looking for other opportunities. I’ve just heard that Moscow Circus is employing!! It has always been my dream to be part of Moscow Circus! They are fantastic! They now have an opening and many people are looking into it. They better patch up the opening soon otherwise people will be just watching the show free thru the opening and nobody will actually buy tickets to get in. Oh, back to the employment opportunity! I’ve heard they are currently looking for someone to disguise as an elephant to be part of the animal show. I was quite excited at first, but later I decided not to go for it when I found out that the job paid peanuts! Back to concentrating on my production! Please do come and support! Come to “Just Kiki Kidding” on 29th June 2008 at Jubilee Hall, Raffles hotel! Limited tickets, grab yours before it’s all gone!! More info at my website http://www.kikitay.com/!

Day 3 - The Amazing Turtle Show!!!

2008-04-22T08:37:00.000-07:00

I’ve just got an idea for our show in June! It’s gonna be a funny act called “The Amazing Turtle Show!” seriously! I’m not Kiki Kidding!! I’ve written the act and now I’m deciding who to cast for the act. The tough part is also of course, to find the right costume. Anybody’s got any idea on where I can get a turtle mascot costume? I’ve visited almost all the pet shops in Singapore but none of the turtles have the right sized shell. My friend Shredder promises to provide me with the shell I need. I have no idea where he is going to find it, but it’s sure taking him hell a long time! I better look for alternative sources! Please, if anyone could help!!

P.S. I am serious about the “The Amazing Turtle show!” Come to “Just Kiki Kidding!” to find out what it’s all about! Find out more here! Or buy tickets here!

Day 2 - Our Rehearsal Space!

2008-04-21T10:12:00.000-07:00

Well, today we had rehearsals again! Our rehearsal venue is incredible! 800 square feet with air-conditioning and mirrors! Kudos to our sales & marketing manager, Daryl to provide this nice rehearsal place within our budget! It cost us only $1.60 to rent this space for unlimited hours!! (8 person X $0.20ea.) The only drawback is that this place is open to the public too. So, anybody who pays 20cents can come in and out as they want and they have been stopping to watch our “private” rehearsal which was quite irritating. Oh, and sometimes the flushing sound bothered us for a bit but we got used to it. On the bright side, all our costumes have a nice lavender/lemon fragrance that will be familiar to many. Well, you get what you paid for. Again, kudos to Daryl for finding a place that is within our budget! I heard there are some free ones we can use but we wouldn’t want to be a cheap free-loader… Rehearsals have been great! Look out for our show in June! I can hardly wait! Get your tickets at http://www.gatecrash.com.sg/ or at any Post Office or SAM Machines!

Kiki Tay - Extremely Talented...

2008-04-21T09:33:00.000-07:00

Many of you might not know, I am extremely talented in many areas other than lying, boasting and exaggerating. I am seriously EXTREMELY TALENTED and I’m not Kiki Kidding! And I’m not exaggerating at all! I am ONE THOUSAND MILLION PERCENT EXTREMELY EXTREMELY NOT EXAGGERATING!! I am REALLY REALLY THAT TALENTED! Anyway, back to my humble incredible super show-off talents. Many of you may not know, I have an extreme talent in beat-boxing, and I am definitely going to perform it for you in my show! Do look out for it! I’ve been practicing hard… so hard that my hand hurts… Come to the show to find out what it's all about! 'Just Kiki Kidding!' 29th June 2008! Grab your tickets before they are all gone!!

Day 1 - Just Jug..Jug..Juggling!

2008-04-21T09:01:00.001-07:00

Yeah! Today is our first day of rehearsal! I started working on my juggling routine. Many of you don’t know, although I only juggle 3 balls most of the time in my show, I usually practice with 5 balls! Yes, 3 balls in hand, 2 on the floor… Wait.. hang on, if we don’t count the balls on the floor, there are actually still 5 balls on me… Don’t think dirty! I meant my two EYEBALLS!!... Come to think of it, it’s actually 6 balls… but that’s my own problem… If you really MUST know, check out my health blog here. Anyway, juggling is fun and the way I do it is extremely entertaining, especially when I drop a ball! Pray that I drop one in my show! Although I hope not. Either way, expect a real stylish act or a comedy juggling act! Only at Just Kiki Kidding! 29th June 2008 @ Jubilee Hall, Raffles Hotel!
