Ghostly Pursuits Part 2/2 (or 3??)
Part 1 of the story here. Meanwhile, I think it ends at this part 2. I think. For now anyway it ends there. Unless for some reason I want to write the continuation or something.
So let’s go!
SDS 1.15 – Jai Ho
The Treasury of the World – Jewelled Arts of India in the Age of the Mughals is still running until the 27 June. Joelyn Alexandra, Raven Silvers, Avariel and I went there on the 28th of March because they were having a special Mighty Mughals weekend festival (we were busy on the 27th with this) ! It meant free entry to the Asian Civilizations Museum too! The one near the river. Behind the Arts House, that one since I know there’s two.
Ghostly Pursuits Part 1 of 2
Have a random story! Actually this was a submission for an online magazine but alas! It wasn’t what they’re looking for. I decided to post it up here instead. It was a last minute written thing so meh. I split the submission into 2 parts.
Maybe I’ll add another part since the ending for the whole story was actually pretty rushed.
Have part 1 of 2 (or 3?). It’s not that woah as my usual stuff since I wrote it in a slightly emergency manner? I had no idea what I wanted to call it so I went with the cheesiest title in mind when I submitted it. It’s in 1st POV so HAH. It started out as 3rd but I did a replace/find to turn it into 1st to beat the deadline since I write faster in that. In any case, here!

SDS 1.14 – Words
Hohohoh, I went to the Nuffnang Blogger symposium with Miz Divine! You might remember her from the kite flying episode where this is her. She was going for the I eat, I shoot, I post session while I was going for Xiaxue‘s so we both met up since the starting of the whole symposium is when everyone is there anyway.
A literature prize, Script Frenzy and 48 hours competition!
Howdy ya’ll. It’s that time of year again! The time where I go ahh that it’s nearly the mid year and what have I done and what costumes am I gonna make? Oh right, well, cosplay season is coming soon but meanwhile, literary wise and competition wise we have…
- The Singapore Literature Prize
- Script Frenzy
- 48 Hours film competition 2010 (Singapore)
Here we go!
SDS 1.13 – She Bangs
Do you know the characteristics of a day adventure usually means getting lost somewhere? Well, know you know. This time Raven Silvers, Joelyn Alexandra and Avariel met up with me at Bedok Interchange to take the 401 to East Coast Park. We arrived there at around 10.30am and stood at the line for like minutes talking about the latest Pokemon game when I noticed something on the sign.
First bus: 1400 hours
ARRRRRRRRGH. Ok, that’s alright, we went to the control station thing for buses and I saw a sign with the numbers of other buses we can take.
And so we did.
And so we stopped at the wrong stop and had to walk a lot because even if we could see the sea, we needed to get across the highway to get it.
A brief whatever of literaryness…
I have some content that I wish to share BUT I am not writing it down yet cause aaah. It’s the last day of March. DEADLINES of some submissions so we’ll have them in April. I’ll do a quickpress post here.
What I wish to post on:
The “rules” of publishing in Singapore. (Guess what! It breaks the NORMAL rules you have in the US and stuff.)
Of some local book reviews.
Of where do these writers lurk around here.
AND MUCH MORE!
But only in April. SEE YOU THEN.
SDS 1.12 – Les Poissons
The weather was a bit unpredictable yet by the time we waited for everyone to arrive at Khatib MRT station, the rain had stopped. So hurrah! The players for that afternoon were Mintea, Avariel and Raven Silvers. I had been meaning to go to Bottle Tree Park ever since I kept seeing their url from within the train. Really, their sign is in one of the best locations for people to see since if you’re in the train, you can see this from the window!
VIDEO SUMMARY/TRAILER:
Yes, this is what we did. On with the show!
