A Christmas Special
This is for you guys. Yes. Lyrics by me, music by Serry.
In which we shot a lot.
The Singapore Discovery Centre! I went with some other bloggers and some of the Nanowrimo crew on last Saturday there. It was actually easy to get to the place since all we had to do was drop at the last stop of the western side of the green line aka Joo Koon. I always wanted to see what was at Joo Koon and now I know. Anyway, it was just a five [...]
Minor interlude of things
Firstly, yeah. I have no idea what is going with this. It's a Thomas the tank engine transformer. Secondly, they typoed Thomas to Tomas. Just wanted to post that up because it's just so weird. ANYWAY! A minor interlude. I've been posting events because they're faster than my book reviews! I got a stack load of books from the Singapore Writers [...]
Kitty Lab in Singapore!
Kitty Lab is in Singapore from the 14th till 29th November at the Singapore Expo, Hall 1! Of course I had to go there because it is Hello Kitty! Also, I went there on a Tuesday evening because the ticket prices are cheaper on weekdays, except on Friday. Since it was a rainy evening, it was pretty creepy and quiet as I made my way through the Expo [...]

A night of ironies
Note: Later part of this post has some spoilers involved. I rushed from work to Cineleisure so I could pick up my ticket and have a bit of a dinner before it would start. The Yasmin Ahmad tribute with the gala premiere in Singapore for Talentime was featuring that day, on 15 October at 7pm. I managed to get a seat online the day booking [...]
Your universe
Yess, another post in the Nanowrimo series. This time it's your universe, or rather, I'm writing about the universe my characters are in. You've got to know where on Earth (or non-Earth) your characters are to let them play around, you see. Or else... well, it's just characters and your story won't have those little details that makes it real [...]
Into the research
This year I'm gonna document how I can do 1667 words a day for November. Well, for Nanowrimo, that is. Sure, I can probably write more a day and finish it before the deadline but it's just fun that way, you know. Plus, I like seeing a gradual incline on the graph on my account there. If you're not even Nanowrimo-ing, this will still probably be [...]
Story Saloon!
Bang, bang! Or close enough. It's not a saloon where you lounge through, clinking the spurs of your boots as you sit down by the bar while eyeing the fastest gunmen around. It's the Story Saloon organized by the Arts House, in partnership by The Book Council, venue supporter by Timbre and is totally a programme of the Singapore international [...]
