Of writery stuff
Quite a few interesting events! Firstly on Saturday…
Lauren Kate Signings in Singapore
Lauren Kate, writer of the Fallen series will be here in Singapore on 9 July 2011!
Serangoon Public Library 12:00-1:00pm Edit: A comment from library staff below informs that it is now 12:30-1:30pm
Borders Wheelock Place 2:30-3:30pm
Kinokuniya Singapore Main Store 4:30-5:30pm
Jurong Regional Library 6:30-7:30pm *just added
Considering I have a party to host in the evening with things to prepare, I’m probably going to the session at the Serangoon library. Now, to figure how to get there…
Next up, we have:
SDS 3.7 – Reflection
Cosfest once again! At Downtown East! I went on the second day as I was busy on the first! It’s now X.1 for 2011. Ah I could remember the first Cosfest and it had lesser people compared to now!
Heading to the Room of Requirement
Those gearing up for the Harry Potter Party at the multipurpose room of the National Library on 9 July, 6.30pm can check out Popcorn for movie memorabilia and props! You’ll get a 20% discount from 1 July – 26 July for Harry Potter items there. Hurray for them giving us a discount for the upcoming movie!
Just flash the coupon above on your mobile devices or a printed slip to them when buying your Harry Potter merchandise there.
In related news, no discounts for Caesar’s but they’re selling lighted wands there. Apparently they typoed Voldemort to Valdermort in their flyer… BUT ANYWHO, yeah if you want to LUMOS, the wands are pretty good since I tried them out when their stall was at Cosfest.
NOW! More details of the HP Party.
- We’re expecting a LOT of people since response is like WOAH. So to be sure, remember this is a LIBRARY and we need to keep the noise down so be “quiet” like you’re sneaking to the room of requirement when you’re just entering the place.
- Also due to the woaah response, if the librarian says no more people allowed in, then no more people allowed in. However, let’s try to all get seated inside eh?
- It’s a fan event by fans! To make it enjoyable, hope you guys will participate or it will be sad.
Yeah, that’s it! Just remember NLB let us have the place so we’ll have to go according to their rules ok?
SDS 3.6 – Perfect
This episode starts out with us attending the book reading/launch of Ceriph #3 (it’s actually the fourth book but the first one was called issue zero) at Kinokuniya! 2 of our friends are in this issue! Magical Harkow and Schnoc from Nanowrimo!
Hogwarts robe and wand tutorial
Ok, this is the completed look. Picture is by Magical Harkow from her post here. Since the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2 is coming up, this tutorial is how to make a robe and a wand.
Some people have asked how to make the robes or a Harry Potter costume since we’d have the Harry Potter finale party at the multipurpose room of the National Library on 9 July, 6.30pm- 8.30pm.
So here it is.
Let’s start with the wand first since it’s easiest and the robe tutorial will be below it.
SDS 3.5 – Like a Stone
Off we go to the Marina Bay Sand’s Art Science Museum! To get to the Marina Bay Sands, we figured to just take a bus from the Raffles’ Hotel bus stop since it would be quite a walk if we didn’t. In any case, the arts science museum is the lotus looking thing there.
Harry Potter Party
I am making this post as unassuming as possible because for those who know it… KNOWS IT.
Harry Potter Finale Party in Singapore
Your host: Me (with the crew of Dumbledore’s Army helping out)
Location: Multipurpose room of National Library (it will be called Room of Requirement there)
When: 9 July, 6.30pm-8.30pm
What will happen? Games, quizzes, cake! Discussions and whatnot. Come in house colours or your costumes! It’s a fan event by fans. I’ve got more info coming up with some downloadable coupons and also tutorials on making robes… But I won’t put them up yet.
In the meantime, want to win a trip to LONDON to catch the premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows party 2? Well, click on this link here. I’ve asked them, if you win the ticket, you’ll be able to catch the one in London AND make it back in time for the Singapore party.
So… I’ll see you lot there if I see youuuu.
Le Bistro Parisien! Aka French Food adventuuuure!
Salut everyone! It was after this particular short adventure that the crew and I headed off to 10 Haji Lane to check out this new Halal bistro called Le Bistro Parisien. Oui, oui. It is French food. Oooh, la la!
SDS 3.4 – Rolling in the Deep
It had rained earlier in the day but it had stopped around noon. The crew and I were to meet at Velocity! The mall at Novena for the Velocity Urban Attack challenge. Well, they weren’t doing it but I was! Since I was early, I went up and checked out the course from the upper floors of the mall, hence the raindrops on the window.
SDS 3.3 – Written in the Stars
The Asian Festival of Children’s Content was on the 26-28 May 2011. I got registered for it and since it did cost quite a bit, here are some highlights and notes from the conferences! It is a literary adventure for this episode. The conferences and workshops were held at the Arts House.
I'm in the top 3!
