Item get! I got myself a Creative Vado HD from Creative (duh). I ordered it online actually since there’s a sale going on and I’d get a free travel case worth $25 during this period of time. Yes, this might mean more video footage in my posts here! How fun is that indeed.

Okay, Nuffnang organized a flash mob on the 13th June 2009 at 5pm. Or at least the details was “5pm till 7pm”. I was thinking flash mobs happen just within minutes so why do they need hours?
Mind you, this is the FIRST flash mob they’ve tried to organize in Singapore so if you’ve googled or yahooed about it, you’re gonna read the reactions of the people who went.
At the moment, if you searched for blog posts on it, half the people are saying it’s lame while the other half is saying it’s awesome. I’m going a bit “Ehhhh but it’s their first one so they could be better next time” since I know it must have taken quite a bit of planning and all too.
So pros and cons of the event!
These are not the flash mobbers. They’re passerby people wondering what is happening even before the flash mob started.
Another writing competition! Well, click read more for the other details.

Polymath & Crust. 86 Club Street. Ooh-er, I got lost getting there. Was this really the place?
Monday, June 1st, The Pod at the National Library. It was a rather good turn out especially on a Monday evening! The Pod’s a restricted area on the 16th floor there and the staff there had to beep their cards so we could take the lift up.
It was yesterday on the 2nd June at the Iluma in Bugis (Singapore, if you’re not local reading this). And oh man was it insane. The invite said 2pm but it launched at 1pm since I think there were too many people and we were all gonna block the mall’s entrance or something if we waited another hour.
I arrived there at 11.30am.
This is the view from the top when people are moving.
Yess, I went to the exhibition after seeing Claudia’s post on the limited edition rings.
The grim reaper’s gonna get youuuuuu.
Meanwhile, some arty design competitions you might want to enter this month!

Mind you, a disclaimer, I’m totally not a judge of any official writing events or an award winning writer or some teacher or whatever. Heck, you can even see that I’m not writing “proper” here. I am just me. A normal typical person.
Okay, I had to laugh insanely a bit there at the previous line.
ANYWHO! Yes, from my observations, you need the 3Ds to win story competitions in Singapore. Mind you, the 3Ds don’t count if it has a specific genre like chic-lit or romance or science fiction (I forgot the name of that event but yes, there was a sci-fi comp for students last year or so).
You need the 3Ds to win in open story competitions where you’re allowed to write whatever story you want. Only you know, that’s not true. You’re allowed to write whatever story you want but the winners will always be the ones that have the 3Ds. What are they?
The 3Ds by Seriously Sarah:
