Oh silly spammers!

If you haven’t noticed, I just installed a “like” button since Tiramisue commented on it. So… Yeah, there it is! Pretty easy to install.

Meanwhile, I always check my spam folder and this is pretty disappointing. The spammer there is talking about Pikachu (albeit with typoes) but alas she is in the wrong post.

She should have talked about Pikachu on the other post here where I did go to a Pokemon event.

Silly robot spammers not spamming in the correct post when they had the chance!

SDS 2.1 – Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)

Hello everyone to season 2 of Sarah Does Singapore! In which we start things off with a bang! Or a fake bang really. In the wee early morning of a Saturday, Mintea, Joelyn Alexandra and Avariel rendezvoused to Plaza Singapura’s Starbucks.

For I wanted to eat some oatmeal.

That wasn’t our main adventure though.

Sarah Does Singapore – Season 1 Finale

25 episodes of adventures. Good grief. Let’s have a recap on what they are! Or rather, let’s do the Playlist. Heh. It started with the prologue but the real episodes were after it. No, this isn’t the end of it. We’ll be in season 2 next week. So yess. Let’s check it out. Each episode title was actually a song title which had a theme to the episode. For those who didn’t know the singers or bands, now you get to know where they’re from!

Bet you didn’t know we had Pokemon Gyms in Singapore. Well they only started late last year or early this year anyway. Nonetheless, there was a tournament at Millenia Walk for the trading card gamers and also the video gamers of Pokemon.

SDS 1.23 – Game of Love

SPORE! If you read the previous post, you’d know I was on the panel about SFF (science fiction and fantasy) writers existing in Singapore. This post however is on the convention itself! It was at Pasir Ris Community Club. SPORE-CON is a gaming convention. You can call it “analog” gaming though and not the digital ones you’d find on the computer. These are the ones where you use cards, miniature figurines, board games etc!

Ashes to Ashes: Prologue

Helloooo, so… This story came to me from a dream. Well technically it’s original source is a gothic Cinderella dream of sorts. I decide to refix the dream to make it more logical and well, it wanted to be read like a real story. So have a short mini series of Ashes to Ashes. It should be quite short, I hope since I’m just writing it as it goes. Those who read the original dream (I posted that somewhere else) might know how it ends but eh, it always changes when you write it down properly!

Let’s just see ok?

In Search of the Princess of Unicorns

I was one of the panelists for the “Yes we do exist – SFF writing in Singapore” at Spore-Con (that will be a separate SDS post next Monday but this is more on the panel itself!) If you read my previous post on not getting enough support, well it would be silly just to say stuff and not do anything yeah?

So what’s this about the princess of unicorns?

It’s a metaphor because as I’ve said before, all these writers are actually hidden and perhaps on a united front we could make an impact here in Singapore? The poets are quite united in a sense that the key poets are making significant headlines and whatnot. The writers here are in their own little circles and only once the planets align, they might perchance meet each other.

Usually during the Singapore Writers’ Festival but that only happens once every two years.
