I have always entertained my brain when it gets into imagining my future, as we all march towards death. Looking back to my first half of life, I’ve always wondered what I really enjoyed and what others would really enjoy if I left the world with more. Inadvertently, it comes back to story telling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I don’t want to write a book. It’s so boring – everyone I know who wants to leave something behind all write books. Granted, we are all simply trying to tell the story of our outsized ego of ourselves, a book is, to me, too small. Having spent part of my life on stage, I think the story I want to tell must be in the form of a show on some stage or platform that’s unimaginably big.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I contrast that to what I do for a living and what I could potentially pull together, this would be the skeleton of the plan:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Find a big sponsor. In the order of $5-10 million I think.<\/li>
  2. Pull together 1000 classical musicians, 1000 drones, 1000 lights, 1000 dancers, and so on<\/li>
  3. Find a way to glue all of them together, central EDM into IEMs, central C2 for all movable \/ flying hardware, and so on<\/li>
  4. Find a story that’s 1000 years in the making, and may have 1000 years to go, especially amongst those that I can’t stop telling<\/li>
  5. Find an infrastructure that can host all these (there are reasons to believe that Singapore is a good place with Marina Bay, 5G, and many walls for projection mapping akin NDP)<\/li>
  6. And tell that story through music, poetry, and dance.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    It’s a bit like looking for a chance to do something like Beijing Olympic opening ceremony, but in the sky. Or like these fancy Intel Shooting Stars show with Beethoven symphony, but with a story that cannot be ignored. It shouldn’t be a tech showcase, but a canvas so large, it can be seen from “space”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Meanwhile, I’ll keep on dreaming (and writing notes, and writing code, and flying drones..) Get it done before 80 years old maybe?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
