I’m back from Nokia’s Music Festival in Cairo ! It was a fantastic show to say the least !

Not mentioning that it was freaking cold as well ! I only brought only ` Malaysian ‘ ( Well, thats what I call long sleeves and a pair of jeans ) attire , besides my suite to Egypt . Blardee hell , when I stepped out of the plane , even my shoes were loose because my feet shrunk !

Altogether , it was a GREAT show with fantastic a fantastic audience base .I made new friends , went inside a Pharaoh’s Tomb , ate authentic Egyptian food and most of all I got to make great friends along the way ! I’ll definitely be back soon to the middle east .=)

From a small little hobby , to a life changing decision . I’m somewhat living my dreams . Still quite far from reaching my goals , but I have a good feeling that I’m on the correct path . Slowly speeding up the pace . =)

Hie guys , a lot of people have been asking me on what happened to this blog of mine ? Why NO UPDATES ?

I am so sorry . Many reasons contribute to the abandonment of davidlai.tv for a long period of time . Website problems , personal problems and I got too caught up with work . I whole heartedly apologize to those who frequent here . I promise that they’ll be frequentupdates from now on . At least twice a week ( hopefully ) .

A little update on my end , I have just finished the H-Factor tour with Hannah Tan and the gang . It was freaking fun and I have learned so much from the experience . I also made many new friends along the way . I am also busy with shows , planning another tour with Starbucks soon , and going overseas to quite a number of places . Wait for my updates, it’s going to be a fun DECEMBER ! , not to mention Tupai is coming back soon too !

Enjoy the pictures guys ! It has been a long and loving day ! 6 hours non stop of posing and wardrobe change . I haven’t had fun like this in ages !

I received this about a day ago …..Should I go ?

Certain parts, such as names have been edited from the e-mail .

We are organizing a Big event that will take place in Amman-Jordan as we are having a Grand Opening of our new Showrooms & Offices and we will be offering a Reception Party for our clients & engineers.

  I really was very happy with your “Mental” magic and I thought that I can communicate with you to check the possibility of co-operation by having you visiting Amman and presenting your show to our guests.

  We will be honored to have you as a special guest and we can pay all your travel costs (Flight tickets) & accommodation (5 Stars Hotel) & transportation in Amman.

Also,we can organize & pay for some activities for you like visiting the Dead Sea (the Lowest Point in Earth) and also visiting the famous ancient city of Petra.

I need to know of your interest and what would be the fees for your participation if you agree to come over.

Our activity will be taking place on the evening of 21/10/2008.

 I hope to receive your positive answer along with a “reasonable” fee that can be affordable to us.

Also,we can organize & pay for some activities for you like visiting the Dead Sea (the Lowest Point in Earth) and also visiting the famous ancient city of Petra.

It’s a really great oppourtunity to expand to the middle east …but it clashes with some really important stuff . My Dubai trip is also canceled and I’m focusing on the H-Factor now ( which is taking it place ) . Decisions ….

Lots of things to think about . My mind is still blurry from the setback I’m facing but…enough is enough .

-David Lai

Hie guys , sorry for the lack of updates . Some lingering problems have been popping up , but here is something interesting for you to look forward too .

I am one of the speaker ( or rather would I say performer ) for the H-Factor tour . Hope to see you at the designated venues ! I’m like one of the most junior in the group ( actually , I am the most junior in the group ) , so hopefully everything will be ok .

Wish me luck ,

-David Lai

Chauffeur driven in Penang …what an experience..

I was recently invited down by Jess & Hannah to come over to Penang for a party . It was the General Manager of Shang-Rilla Rasa Sayang’s party ( Mr Desmond ) and it was to be held in his house . The person who invited me was Sulaiman Tunku Abdul Rahman ( now doesn’t that ring a bell ? ) , the grandson of Tunku Abdul Rahman himself . He passed the message to Hannah , and Hannah gave me a ring after that . A humble , down to earth person who speaks perfect English , Sulaiman was a great host to during my stay .

Rooms were provided for me at Rasa Sayang resort itself ( A 6 star resort ! ) and the performance for the night was casual ! No obligations ! A fantastic way to spend Merdeka Eve ! It was partaay all the way !

Enjoy the pictures !

My host in Penang , Mr . Sulaiman Tunku Abdul Rahman , the grandson of Tunku Abdul Rahman . A great guy and host .

The suite which was marvelous

Sitting hall in the suite…and it has a jacuzzi in the room itself !

The party at the General Manager’s house, Mr Desmond’s house …It doesn’t get better like this , having a pool this huge in your compound …

and yes….he had synchronize swimming at his party ….OMG ….

The crowd for the night was witty and super fun to mix around with . Great guys…who mostly had titles in front of their names … but down to earth humble gentleman .

My very own BUTLER !

These are a few group pictures of the whole bunch that went down .

All drinking sup kambing at Hannah’s recommended spot .

Eating Char Kuey Teow ! Makuku , at one stall , we had to wait 45 minutes for a plate of Char Kuey Teow ! Is it that good ??

And finally , a classic picture of Hannah and a drum stick…priceless …
