The Arts Science Museum invited me to their press preview of the Collider! This exhibition is until January 5th if I’m right?
Anyway, there are other exhibits at the same time so you can check what ever is on then too.
Without spoilers, if you’re going to Collider, do get a guided tour because you won’t be able to get ‘everything’ by just reading it.
Guys, you can try win an invite to #nuffnangblogcon here. I’m writing this post to win an invite.
Why? Because in 2010, I went to their Nuffnang Blogger Symposium.
It had been super useful and I did get to see all the other bloggers even if I’m super quiet and discreet.
I’ll still probably super quiet and discreet if I were to the at the conference since there’ll probably be those super popular bloggers there anyway and what do I even say to anyone?
However, this conference sounds like it will be informative for me to learn more. Mind you, I’m not super popular because I am a niche blogger but attending these conferences and implementing stuff or just learning a little bit does help.
Trust me.
It totally helped.
From drama and hearsay or rumours of the bloggersphere, I’m totally no where near it but I want to know what the industry thinks about it since bla bla, everyone is more on social media or online so come on. I WISH TO KNOW what their thoughts are on this in a corporate way.
Anyway, Nuffnang, let me win an invite. I want to go.
It was Google Play GAME WEEK featuring Neko Atsume. Considering our timezone was similar to Japan’s we could just… watch the cats.
This is what you missed if you didn’t catch the livestream of this ‘gaming’.
Do you get the pun? I’m sure you do.
That’s it really. GOT TO GOOOOoooo.
More in depth adventures during the mid week posts.
Ps. I was on Team Wonder Woman.
ICDS is on this weekend! You can check their facebook too. The 22nd and 23rd of August, 11am to 7pm at Scape. This year you do have to pay for entry to all sections of ICDS.
But it’s pretty cheap compared to what you’ll get in there, yeah?
HERE’S THEÂ QUICK STUFF you need to know:
1) It’s $5 for one day $8 for both days. Limited tickets at the door but you can buy online at Peatix. Note: They have an admin fee of $1 so it’s more worth it if you buy with friends online and share the admin fee.
2) Grabtaxi offer for new users to/from Scape only with the code “ICDS2015” for an $8 ride. Which means, if you’re from Jurong to Scape, you’ll get a discount of $8 from the final fee. That’s an example by the way. Or Scape to home… You get the idea. This is only on 22 and 23rd. Bring home your cosplay things/loot. Grabtaxi is available on ios and android.
3) Cosmetics, makeup and such will be on discount during ICDS. Time to stock up for your cosplay
4) First 1000 people to visit ICDS will get a $2 coupon from Anime Yorozuya when you come in to take your booklet/wristband thing at the ticket counters.
5) YES. THIS YEAR the tickets are wristbands so be sure to wear them.
6) Funbie Studios will be there, if you ever wondered how to do 3d printing for cosplay props, TALK TO THEM. Also, this year’s cosplay trophies are 3d printed by them!
7) FREE GABU GABU. Grab your free can of Gabu Gabu while stocks last. It’s delicious. Grab five Gabu Gabu and you’ve already gotten your ticket’s worth already. OMG OK PLEASE DON’T DO THAT. Let others drink too.
8) Oh yes, there’s a DBS atm near the ‘back’ if you need more cash so there’s no reason you can’t really get moolah for what loot you want to get.
Where to buy tickets if at Scape and what are on the various levels?
Yes, what you see here is a special edition Mini 4WD Merlion Edition – Singapore 50th Anniversary Tamiya car.
I got it from Stargek.
It’s an Avante base from what I built but with a Merlion rider and… You can see for yourself how the design is.
It’s… It’s pretty tacky. It’s one of the tackiest things I’ve ever built. I don’t know, maybe someone really likes this design?
Good for them but it’s not my style.
Still, it’s pretty unique.
It was SAF 50 last week, the day when you might have seen uniformed forces wear their, well, uniforms.
But HEY, on that day, we also had a Born a HERo event. I got to spell it like that so you can see the pun. Heh heh. It’s actually just Born a Hero. What’s it, really?
Commemoration for the SAF’s 50th anniversary (SAF50), women’s website Material World has launched the Born a Hero project to celebrate the unsung heroes behind Singapore’s defence. Sponsored by AXA Singapore, Born a Hero will tell the stories of ordinary women who have contributed to the success of the SAF in their own ways.Â
Oh yeah and this also:
Here’s to the unsung heroes of Singapore’s national defence! Join Material World as we celebrate mums, wives, girlfriends, daughters, and colleagues who have played a part in ensuring the success of the Singapore Armed Forces. Every $10 donation to Halogen Foundation will give you a ticket to this shopping event at TANGS Orchard! Join host Irene Ang for an evening of fun, shopping and sharing!
So that’s why you got all these ladies queuing up at the Providore at Tangs. They got vouchers, discounts and coupons in their bags!
Of course, here’s Irene Ang being the host of it all.Â
This was the deal on that day. Click to enlarge! They got to get a lucky draw form with every $100 spent in a single receipt and win prizes.
The first winner of the lucky draw! Really easy.
Spend and win, really. Like Swensen vouchers, one month’s subscription at a gym and so on.
Well, the lucky draw was fun and all but while we waited for the Born a Hero panel session, we were also entertained by two musicians.

I don’t know their facebook or webby or anything but hey, I did get their names at least! Drop me a link if you know they have one.
With food and fancy juices (italian sodas?), shopping and lucky draws, we got to know more about the Born a Hero panel consisting of 4 ladies over there.
Deborah Tan ( founder of Material World), Judy Kong (BoH personality), Setoh Wei Leng (BoH personality) and Priya Shahane (Chief HR Officer at AXA Singapore).
It was a short and casual panel. If you want to know more, go to Material World to read it!
Rather informative too and I think most of us would see Judy on the news lately too because she (the one in white) was the first woman in SWANS!
That’s the Singapore Women’s Auxiliary Naval Service (SWANS) in 1964, as a volunteer. It was a time around the Konfrantasi and all that she decided to volunteer to help Singapore.
Back then, they trained on their own time and she was a teacher too! So for three hours, twice a week, she trained on a ship.
Ok, hers was the most interesting to me because WOAAAH. First woman to be part of the SWANS even before there was such thing as regulars for woman.
For Deborah, she founded Material World and you can see how awesome that is and why this Born a Hero thing was happening, Wei Leng talked about how she supported her boyfriend who was in NS because really, you got to support your partner while they’re in it and suck it upppp it’s like so nooo you’re in there and I’m out here but nehmind, we have time we can wait and we’ll see you again.
Ok, she said in more poetic terms but yeah, you keep supporting each other.
And Priya talked about team work about how guys go for reservist but there’s always a contingency plan so that it will not disrupt the team’s work.
Also, I kind of explored Tang’s. I didn’t realize what was in the upper floors usually because the basement is where it is at for me. The cookery section. Heh heh heh. Ok, I don’t cook much but look at their frying pans and grills and blenders.
It’s so pretty.
Anyway, it was a pretty neat event because, let’s not forget the ladies who support our SAF too.
As a mother, daughter, sister, girlfriend, wife or you know, just a friend.
It really is teamwork when everyone works together for Singapore.
I got invited to Twitter Singapore’s new office.
Yes.
Because I am… a power user as they say, in their words.
Or is it because I spam a lot or sometimes make things viral, I don’t know.
It was a little disconcerting when I said who I was on twitter and the staff there were all !!! at the door.
Anyway, wooo. This is one of their pantries or at least the one near reception. It’s so fancy.
It’s Doujima once more and it’s on this weekend of 25th to 26th April at Scape!
The event will also bring the launch of Extravaganza 2015, an annual regional art competition jointly organized by CDS, NUS Comics and Animation Society (NUSCAS) and NTU Visual Arts Society (NTUVAS).
To get to Scape, the nearest mrt station would be Somerset.
Life is Strange. And I mean Life is Strange the game. It’s a 5 episode game and right now at the time of the post only the first and second episode is out. 2 episodes and then I bought an Instax camera.
Alright, I wasn’t really influenced by the game to buy the camera but it was in my list of things I wanted to get for myself/work because I kept borrowing Instaxes from others. Life is Strange just merely made me go “Yes. I’m going to get this now”.
How is it so far? It’s freaking cinematic and the sound track makes it as if you’re in a movie as you play as Max Caulfield.
Basically, you can rewind time and since this is a Squeenix (Square Enix as others might call it) and Dontnod game, there’s nosebleeds and headaches and me going “NOOOoooo!”.
It’s a mystery we’re all trying to figure out and it’s just two episodes now. One episode can just last around a few hours or an afternoon so it’s really like watching an episode of some drama but with cinematic features and interactivity.
You might like the background music too because it’s what makes the whole thing complete. Â
