I believed this is the first time such event is held in Malaysia, thanks to Beauty Balloon and Aeon.<br />I entered the costume design and fast finger twisting category. I am attaching some photos taken on that day. Although I've only manage to grab the 2nd runner up for the fast twisting contest, it was a good exposure and experience for me. I am looking forward for any next event! I will be there :-)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1616898694382419415-5419495142495455275?l=balloon-twisting.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>simplesimonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07503588067917993545noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1616898694382419415.post-72575588187069082322009-01-19T00:52:00.000-08:002009-01-19T00:54:57.266-08:00<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_93GCCaUN1cs/SXQ_u9dqi4I/AAAAAAAABdA/nsJIfXLs89w/s1600-h/P1160067.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_93GCCaUN1cs/SXQ_u9dqi4I/AAAAAAAABdA/nsJIfXLs89w/s200/P1160067.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5292925538072693634" /></a><br /><br />Another version which I have improved the face features.<br />It looks better. :-)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1616898694382419415-7257558818706908232?l=balloon-twisting.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>simplesimonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07503588067917993545noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1616898694382419415.post-73260679768168742092009-01-15T18:52:00.000-08:002009-01-15T18:57:37.194-08:00<a href='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_93GCCaUN1cs/SW_2bqEl2NI/AAAAAAAABZA/A4shOxONfj4/s1600-h/Butterfly.JPG'><img src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_93GCCaUN1cs/SW_2bqEl2NI/AAAAAAAABZA/A4shOxONfj4/s320/Butterfly.JPG' border='0' alt=''style='clear:both;float:left; margin:0px 10px 10px 0;' /></a>&nbsp;<br />Anyone wants to learn to make this butterfly, you can visit my google site for instruction.<br /><br /><br /><br />http://sites.google.com/site/simonballoontwisting<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1616898694382419415-7326067976816874209?l=balloon-twisting.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>simplesimonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07503588067917993545noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1616898694382419415.post-38255851137356838292009-01-15T18:47:00.000-08:002009-01-15T18:47:45.501-08:00<a href='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_93GCCaUN1cs/SW_1UR9qqtI/AAAAAAAABY4/er83dyXXV0U/s1600-h/God+of+Prosperity+with+gold.jpg'><img src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_93GCCaUN1cs/SW_1UR9qqtI/AAAAAAAABY4/er83dyXXV0U/s320/God+of+Prosperity+with+gold.jpg' border='0' alt=''style='clear:both;float:left; margin:0px 10px 10px 0;' /></a>&nbsp;<br />Wishing those of you visiting this blog a Prosperous Happy Chinese New Year.
