A few weeks ago, i was invited to perform for the Royal Family Of Brunei and i would like to document this experience in this blog post. Hope you enjoy reading!
Being a full time Kids Party Magician in Singapore for many years, sometimes things gets a little exciting not just for the audiene but for the performer as well! Got a call one fine day and the potential client was asking to see if i'm interested to fly over to Brunei for a performance for a kids birthday party. At that time, I've got no idea who's on the line and who i might potentially be performing for.
We discussed the fees, flight details and even accomodations and everything was firmed up very quickly and soon i find myself on the plane to Brunei.
Up to this point, i still got no idea who i'm about to meet or to perform for. I just thought it's some rich parent who wants something extra special for their child's birthday (as we get that alot for our overseas shows)
Upon arrival, a nice beautiful car awaits me and drove me to a comfortable 5 five hotel that my client put me in to rest for the day
The location of this hotel is great! Just right below is the largest shopping mall in Brunei and within a short 4 minutes walk is a famous night market! You bet i didn't rest, I went all out to explore Brunei as much as I can!
I was on a diet plan before the Brunei trip HAHA but once i started eating, i couldn't stop! The food at the night market is SO DELICIOUS and AFFORDABLE! Even a simple burger taste insanely good! Soon, i got into a food coma and slept for the day.
Next day when I woke up, things got really exciting! It's performance day! A car drove me to the house where I will be performing and that's when i notice this is no ordinary family! There were multiple guards at the front gate just before we entered the driveway along the house and the palace WAS HUGE! I've perform in many GCB in Singapore but the size was unmatchable! With permission, I took some photos of afew facilities at the guests entertainment area and you can imagine how massive this place is!
What a beautiful place! That's when I find out that it is the Royal Family's house and the one who contacted me was the Princess Of Brunei! I was very excited and the show went extremely well!
It was a wonderful experience to perform for the Royal Family and i'm very thankful for this opportunity! Can't wait to meet the lovely family again sometime soon!
Thank you for reading this short blog post! Ask me 20 years ago when i just started this Magical journey and i would never believe that this day would come. If you have a dream, dream it! Dream it BIG! You will never know where your dreams will bring you!
