This week’s Reaction Shot’s postponed to Monday due to holiday.
Yeah.
Till Monday! In that episode, we’ll have Queen Sonja #2, Gotham City Sirens #6, Models Inc #4, Emily the Strange #2 and an Angel figurine from the 1st BtVS figurine set.

Well, this is seriously Sarah and that's all you need to know for now.
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 Festival the other month and yes… It’s quite a lot. I’ll post them book by book in December. That’s after Nanowrimo anyway.
The stack of books include:
- Howl
- Biophilia Omnibus
- Proper Care of Foxes
- Rochee the friendly roach
- Morris Takes a Chance
And uh, whatever books I forgot to list down but is in my stack to go through. So there! Also I’ll be premiering a new series called Tower. It’ll be pretty much a weekly online webcomic without the comic. I can’t draw that well but I can write! Heh, more info on that once I get the prologue and stuff up. What I can say is that, it’ll be a pretty fun online series…
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 from the MRT station. Hall 1 is way over at the other side of the convention halls so it’s quite a long walk to it.
Reaction Shots! Episode 1.3
This week’s reaction shots include:
- Nomad: Girl Without A World #3 of 4
- X-Men Legacy #229

As usual, click to enlarge. Spoilerific as always. My reactions to the whole thing and the figurine collection is a review of what I got!

Into Narnia… Or Adventures with Sarah
Note: Hey, if you don’t want to be surprised or fascinated on your own, do NOT click to read more. These exhibitions will last till the 27th December 2009 at SAM 8Q. Go to it without clicking below if you’re the sort that would appreciate FUN exhibitions where you can interact with stuff! If you click more, then you’ll know what’s there (duh) without going through it yourself. It’ll still be fun to go to but you won’t be surprised.
This is the post where you can click the pictures to see a larger version because the details are SO needed to be seen! Have you been to the Singapore Art Museum at 8Q lately? There’s one exhibition that will last until the 27th December that you need to go to if you like going to arty places or pretty much fun things. It features the President’s Young Talents 2009.
I went there on a Saturday for Fleatique, some flea market thing, waiting for one stall to open and it didn’t. At least from what I saw, the table was still unoccupied by the time I left there at around seven with my friends from the Nanowrimo write-in. Anyone who joins me for a walk around tends to land themselves in adventure. See the tank behind there? Well, some SAM ladies (volunteers, I think?) handed us some pamphlets of the programme for the next few months and told us that we could actually control the WATER on the fourth floor.
And so we did.
Reaction Shots! Episode 1.2
Today’s reaction shots of comics include:
- X-Babies #2 of 4
- Batgirl #4
Also, you can click on the pics to see to read the panels. Like before, not comic reviews, more like reaction shots by me so the characters might zoom over your head if you don’t know who they are.
Reaction Shots! Episode 1.1
Hi ho everyone. Since twitter is just 140 characters, it is clearly not enough for me to squee over the comics I get weekly (or at least whenever a new shipment has the comics that is in my list reserved at G&B Comics).
So this is my first episode of Reaction Shots! Yes, spoilers are included so don’t click if you don’t want to be spoilered. Oh and the illustration above is done by the lovely Mae of Space Kitties! This ain’t a “review” post but more of my own reactions of the comics.
This week’s issues include:
- Buffy the Vampire Slayer #30
- Cinderella: From Fabletown With Love #1 of 6
And I typed on… Apparently
Just so you know, I’m doing Nanowrimo this year and it’s chic-lit. The starting is rubbish and I mean it’s worse than my usual silly ones because I haven’t gotten into the groove of being silly or not taking this thing seriously. I write best when I just write but at the moment, it’s not writing that much since I’m being serious so baaah.
Oh yeah, I installed a new plug in on WordPress and considering that I’m on my eeePC, I don’t have Photoshop on it so I just edited these screens on Paint. Click on the pictures to view it in its original size!
Enter Sandman
The last day of the Singapore Writers Festival and I certainly had tickets to the talk for Sunday. And as usual, have a video summary of this whole post first if you’re in a rush and can’t read it yet:
Heh, what he said was soooo true.
Happiness at the end of the Nano Kick Off
First up, yes. Our book is published! You can buy it online here. Currently, since it just got printed and all, it will take quite a bit of time before the distributors would distribute the copies into the various bookshops here (may be in the coming weeks). If you’re wanting the book now, then it’s best to just order it online first from Two Trees, the publisher. Quick summary, 8 short stories, set at the end of the world but with happy endings. Press release found when you click on the above links. It’s a very interesting compilation by the way! I’m not saying that just because I’m one of the writers there but because I went “Ooooh!” at the other stories too.
Now onwards to Singapore’s NaNoWriMo kick-off!
Ours was 2pm but we came around 1.30pm YET, the cafe was filled with people. Some of them Nanowrimo-ers too. Uugh, uugh! It was slightly crowded so we hurried and set up our signs, books and goodie bags. We didn’t want the guests to wait too long even when it wasn’t yet our session!
