SDS 1.2 – Stairway to Heaven
The really weird thing nowadays in Singapore that if you go to Orchard or Somerset, you’d end up in a mall once you get out of the train station. The even weirder thing is that there’s so many malls like woah and they’re all next to each other. This makes it quite confusing for anyone who hasn’t been there for quite a while. Considering most of the malls are similar to each other, I went “Wooooh” when I got the newsletter from my climbing place that they’ve set up a shop in one of them at Orchard Central! It’s the Via Ferrata by Border X. Guest stars for this adventure include: Joelyn Alexandra, Avariel and Mintea.
See that thing above Gelare? THAT is what we’re gonna climb.
SDS 1.1 – Hot and Cold
Beginning a story is always difficult.
Waking up early to begin mine was even more difficult especially when I spent the day before on a phone rescue mission that included going around abandoned HDB blocks (don’t ask).
On the first Saturday of January, I woke up at around 7 am so I could head to the National Museum of Singapore by noon. Of course, that included time to roll around in bed and wonder why the heck I was doing up.
Sarah Does Singapore – The Prologue
adâ‹…venâ‹…ture
/ædˈvɛn
tʃər/
–noun
- an exciting or very unusual experience.
- participation in exciting undertakings or enterprises: the spirit of adventure.
- a bold, usually risky undertaking; hazardous action of uncertain outcome.
2010 will be the year of adventures. There’s technically 103 weekends and minusing public holidays, it would be 99 weekends in a year. Unless I miscalculated or something.
Nonetheless, I have no idea if I’ll go over 99 days or get under it. Let’s see if it’s more, eh?
This project came about cause people kept saying there’s nothing to do in Singapore and yet, I keep ending up in random adventures just like that. I only realized that not everyone ends up in a strange exciting places almost on a weekly basis. (Almost because I might be tired or lazy to go out on some days due to weather or whatever.) This time however, I WILLÂ proactively have at least one adventure per week.
Except when I’m sick or am told not to get out of bed or whatever but generally, yes, I will adventure!
I welcome anyone who’s not a creepo person to come along with me but you got to pay for your own things or fees to do the stuff that I wanna do. Whether you’re a tourist coming to Singapore or a person who’s been wanting to go to some certain place here but always thought that you needed someone to go along with but your friends think it’s too scary/expensive/lame/no time, well, I’m gonna do it and I don’t mind anyone else coming along too.
Unless, as I said, you’re a creepo.
Said adventures will generally be on the weekends mostly on Saturdays while there might be some on week day nights instead, so we’ll see. It’s not as if I’ve got a contract for all this.
Sarah Does Singapore will be posted every Monday starting from 11 January 2010.
Let’s have some fun indeed.
Hatpy Party!
I got invited to the Year End Blogger Hat-py Party by 24seven!
The dress code was to have a crazy hat! I actually had a bunch of hats at home but I wanted to wear one that I hadn’t premiered in public yet. Thus, I figured which particular hat I wanted to wear at the Singapore Art Museum for the party.
A Christmas Special
This is for you guys. Yes. Lyrics by me, music by Serry.
Morris Takes A Chance and Rochee the Friendliest Roach!
I got these two children’s books during the Singapore Writer’s Festival months ago. Yeah, I did say I have a backlog of book reviews to post up. Morris Takes A Chance is written and illustrated by Amanda Teow while Rochee the Friendliest Roach is written and also illustrated by Gavin Goo! Heh, these two books had their authors writing and drawing the pictures for the books. Just so you know, I got these two books during their book launch as they were part of the First Time Writers and Illustrators initiative by the MDA. There were other books but I got these two then and they’re both published by the Straits Times Press.

FYI on Reaction Shots…
It will be postponed to Sunday/Monday since I had mucho work today to post it up.
The Bookfest and of Howl by James Lee
A brief announcement first!
The Bookfest is up at Suntec convention hall this 11 to 20 December from 10 am to 10pm. For those that are Popular, Watson or Maybank card members have an exclusive members’ only night on 10 December from 8.30pm till 11pm. Heh, they’d get a free tote bag and some surprise gift with a minimum of $50 of purchase though and as usual, while stocks last.
Besides the book buying, there’ll be storytelling, book signings, celebrity appearances and such. Just check the exhibition highlights on their official website here.
And now back to your regularly scheduled book review.
I had a double take when I saw this book on the local shelves. For those who don’t know, James Lee is the writer of Mr Midnight. It’s something like a local version of the Goosebumps series.
What made me have another look at it was the tagline.
Love can be deadly
Oh my heck.
