I wanna scoot

Oxelo town 7 easyfold scooter

I want to scoot around on this Oxelo town 7 easyfold scooter. I’m saving up my money and all that because I realized I would be able to go to a LOT of places just scootering around.

I could also take it on the MRT and if by an unlucky chance should the trains not work, I could just unfold this and scoot away instead of taking a bridging bus towards non-affected places. It’s small enough to get on a bus with it too so yeah, that’s why I didn’t want to get a foldie since I really, REALLY wander around a lot of places and this would be better to lug around with.

Then it occurred to me, huh, with all the places in Singapore I go to and with all the events, it would be cool if someone actually sponsored this scooter.

It’ll be even cooler if Scoot air actually sponsored it because… DUH SCOOTING ON A SCOOTER? SCOOT?

Me not busting into your office.

So Scoot, this is my proposal to you. Instead of busting into your office, I am just writing a post here and it’s up to you to email me if you wanna. Hopefully before 7 February 2014 because I’d be buying it then.

You might be wondering who I am so these next few tweets might give you a little idea on it.

Watch it and VOTE it!

They spotted me!

Finally you can vote for the teams of N.E.mation! There was an urban picnic at the national library’s plaza while all the teams were there to showcase their videos.

You can vote for them by going to the N.E.mation website!

There’s FOUR ways to vote, via the website, by mobile web, sms and the facebook app. More details on the nemation.sg webby. With each entry you can vote for 3 teams.

VOTE FOR C05 aka Momento Mori because it is super punny and Chua Enlai is the voice over!

VOTE FOR C08 aka The 4 of Us II because they tell about the unsung heroes in their video!

And then you pick your own for the last one, hahahaha. I can’t tell you which because they’re all good but these are my two choice teams and they’re my teams!

Clips!

At The 4 of Us II’s booth, you’d get a clip to support them! Watch their video clip and get a clip, GET IT? HEH HEH.

Bananas.

At Momento Mori, well… I don’t think they were handing out bananas to people. They did however have small flyers to pass out.

Picnic with the team. Goodies I got! Watching the show

Click to enlarge the pictures as always. It was a picnic and so once people voted there, they’d get a goodie bag. I like how there’s Milo in mine along with the other toys.

Momento Mori!

Soon the groups got to talk to the DJs of Power 98 since they were also the emcees for the event. Momento Mori did a little intro about themselves and then their clip was shown. Dr Jia Jia and his brother was there too.

The All-Nighters!

Since Momento Mori was one of the first five, there was a little interval after their group and The All-Nighters played a few songs.

4 of us II

Then it was the round with The 4 of Us II! Heh, their uniforms sort of match Dr Jia Jia and his brother’s clothes.

Instaprint SG

Also, if you were there, you could have gotten free instagram prints via Instaprint!

My prints!

So cool right? I just had to instagram and use the hashtag for that day and get it printed at the booth and collect it.

ANYWAY, go VOTE. Please vote for C05 and C08 in your choice of 3 teams.

The First Run of the Year

The grounds

It was my first run for 2014. The Run for Your Lives Asia (Singapore) 2014! And wow, ok it was a zombie day because I went to the Walking Dead Live public event in the morning.

The starting point and race pack collection was at The Padang.

I pretty much hecked it and walked from Lasalle to the Padang because it wasn’t that far anyway.

Life tags!

I collected my race pack, pinned my bib and attached my life tags on the belt thingy.

I knew this was going to be the last time I’d be able to take a picture of it since I was 90% sure I would lose them by the end of the race.

Walking Dead… Live?

It's a bunch of zombies!

11 January 2014.

Lasalle College of the Arts.

It was one of the most unlikeliest of places to hold a freaking THE WALKING DEAD LIVE in Singapore.

Only via the geek grapevine that we knew about Andrew Lincoln and Norman Reedus appearing in Singapore and that was a little public event happening before the closed interview session.

Really, it was good because the location meant no extra kaypoh-ing aunties and uncles. It was also at a school that I used to hang out at (but not attended since there used to be a cafe there for ukulele jams) so I knew where it was.

By the way, the zombies above are 3rd year drama students! They can legit now say they performed with Andrew Lincoln and Norman Reedus!

Heh heh, I hope they got a photo with the stars at the end since they were still performing while as zombies and couldn’t do selfies or whatnot with them.

Note: As usual, click on the pictures for a bigger version of them.

A Beautiful Plan

Huh, this is the first State of Sarah report for the year. Well there you go. I have a plan. Oh and before I start on what this year will be, LIKE my page here: http://facebook.com/seriouslysarahSG

Because you guys want to know what’s happening in Singapore or want to go events? Well, just like that page. I don’t post ALL my activities here, that would just be silly and spammy.

Firstly, this Saturday I’m going to La Salle to hopefully see The Walking Dead stars at 11am and then I’ll have a snack or something and go for the Run for Your Lives Asia since mine starts at 4pm.

That’s just this weekend.

Note, this post is going to be Singlish-y.

What I am up to is also…

Love Kuching Project

Well, I do now and then get to help out at Love Kuching Project. I didn’t get Dawn from them though, Dawn just self-rescued herself by shoving herself inside the house.

Hanging around

Ok lor.

Gone to the Library

It's Kenny the friendly chicken

A new year, a new whatsits. January, the time when people sign up programmes or try to get fit because woah a new year and all. Well, I signed up for this ventriloquism workshop last year.

Have you checked the GoLibrary website?

They’ve got lots of free workshops happening if you clicked under arts in the programmes tab because this is the year of arts? Something like that, they’ve got a Press Play thing happening for 2014. When you see something you like, just quickly click on it because some programmes are really popular.

That’s Kenny the friendly chicken by the way and on the right is Shawn from Magic Avenue teaching us how to use a puppet and mostly how to make it look real and practice ventriloquism!

Not the Epilogue

Never stop exploring

4 January 2014 – Ventriloquism workshop at Bukit Merah Library

6 January 2014 – Game programming for Windows & iPhone at the Central Library

11 January 2014 – Run for Your Lives Asia

15 February 2014 – Marina Run

8 March 2014 – Venus Run

27 April 2014 – Run350

That’s what I’ve already registered myself to while the early bird offer is on for Marina Run and Run350, plus the Venus Run I managed to get a discount by registering with pals.

By the way, the programmes at the library I registered for are free and it’s more of first come, first served! There’s lots of cool workshops and you can check out the Go Library events or Read Singapore’s workshops. These ones are for January to March 2014.

I know the leather crafting workshop is totally full for the first run in January, heh.

But ok, it looks like I’ve got myself into a run a month until April. They’re all very short runs, 5km only and I’ve been lost or going around in circles before for that amount of distance.

The longest run I’ve signed up for is Run 350 and that’ll be for 10km.

I’ve joined the Marina Run’s fun run because you get to play with water pistols, Run for Your Lives Asia for obvious obstacles, Venus run so I can run with my gal pals and lastly Run 350 because well, it was NTUC’s run and kinda cheap and is the ‘last’ run from this list so maybe I can do 10km by then?

It’ll be interesting if I can do a run a month for 2014 but then, probably not for June since fasting month is then.

I don’t really want to run run for long distances, I prefer the fun types where you do other things too.

So I’ve kinda plotted what I want to do for 2014. Did you know Singapore Writers Festival theme then would be The Prospect of Beauty?

I aim to be in it and to do a book (WIP TITLE) Belles of the Ball.

Only that I’d probably get it printed myself and only open to pre-orders.

It’s not an ordinary book.

It’ll be a game book.

Choose your own adventure! We’ll see how it goes.

At IKEA!

So how was 2013? It’s been cool. I got to go to IKEA and eat meatballs. I know, I know.

I usually don’t actually go to IKEA so this was the first of the year for me to actually eating the meatballs there.

Land of the Meat Munchers!

Land of the Meat Munchers!

Land of the Meat Munchers is by Nicholas Yong aka Incoherent Boy! It’s his first novel and it’s pretty fun! Think of it as young adult adventure book?

Basically it’s a zombie story SET IN SINGAPORE.

If you didn’t know in Singapore, we don’t have guns or ballistic weaponry easily but Nick managed to get it all believable even if we didn’t have them in this post zombie apocalyptic world!

Commando CHALLENGED!

Horoscope

This was my horoscope for the day. Commando Challenge was on Sunday and my slot with Tashigi was 1pm.

I have never done an obstacle course run before, well, except for Race the Dead. Actually before this, the only runs I’ve been to was The New Paper’s Big Walks and those were walks. So for 2013, I did 2 major runs with obstacles in the second half of the year. Yaaay.

Also, since I had pretty much fun even if RtD was mostly “Stupid, stupid sand!” and this Commando Challenge was pretty much “Stupid, stupid mud!”, I signed up for next year’s Run for Your Lives Asia which I hope will not be “Stupid, stupid concrete!”.

OH AND YEAH, my friend recommended me to check out the Running Guild’s calendar so I can totally get the early bird prices for events instead of finding out in the last minute.

I am tempted to go to NTUC’s Run350 and the Venus Run because they’re just 5km. There’s also the Marina Run which I see they have a fun run where you shoot each other with water pistols too. INTERESTING.

Mostly, I’m also thinking “OOOOH, it will make for nice video footage” because heck, if I do a lot of runs next year, I can also compile with my ‘first’ few runs which is pretty much RtD and CC and then at the end of 2014, I’ll have a short POV video of me running around Singapore.

Not sure if I’m into fitness or footage.

I don’t like to run so much but I do like scenery and obstacles if there are any.

The railway station!

Anywho, here’s some pictures from Commando Challenge! It was at Tanjong Pagar Railway Station. My route was just 4km and totally not the area I trekked through. Technically it was the opposite side from my adventure last time.
