The crew went to the former supreme court where I would still call the old supreme court for BarCamp SG 6!

The line up!
Here’s the line up guys. (For the official poster of the event, click here.)
National Library, Multipurpose room (basement 1) at 6.30pm (till 8.30pm)
The theme: Superheroes (people are gonna dress to the theme so don’t get freaked out, you’re at the right place!)
Anyone can leave before 8.30pm but that’s the maximum time slot we can be there because the library would close soon after.
Who should come?
- Nanowrimo-ers
- Readers and writers
- Comic fans and geeks
First we’ll have the Nanowrimo kick off! Things start at 6.30pm and all and it’ll lead on towards the mini launching of Bubble G.U.M (because some of us Nanowrimo-ers wrote it)! The book is just $15 just for the launch. You guys will want to buy it there because when it gets stocked at Kino or any other store, they’ll put GST and everything on it which could get the book priced above $19 or something. (We’ll have our previous publication Happiness at the End of the World there at $15 too.)
After the mini launch, we would end the main Nanowrimo events but stay to talk to each other and have our cake while we discuss on the evening’s theme of graphic novels and of speculative fiction in it! They’re related since graphic novels ARE a graphic form of speculative fiction. Batman, Superman, Powergirl and much more! If you’re there just for the discussion, come around 7.20pm! Our main programme isn’t going to be that long, the kick off is more for people to know each other and what they’re writing and reading anyway!
SDS 2.11 – Blowing in the Wind
There comes a time when one can just show pics to tell you what happened. This is such a time! It shouldn’t be hard for you to figure out what happened too!
SDS 2.1 – Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)
Hello everyone to season 2 of Sarah Does Singapore! In which we start things off with a bang! Or a fake bang really. In the wee early morning of a Saturday, Mintea, Joelyn Alexandra and Avariel rendezvoused to Plaza Singapura’s Starbucks.
For I wanted to eat some oatmeal.
That wasn’t our main adventure though.
SDS 1.25 – I want to be the very best!
Bet you didn’t know we had Pokemon Gyms in Singapore. Well they only started late last year or early this year anyway. Nonetheless, there was a tournament at Millenia Walk for the trading card gamers and also the video gamers of Pokemon.
SDS 1.24 – Young Folks
The main opening ceremony was on the 19th but the major events were on the next day at SCAPE. Yes, the new building for the youth activities and what not. Across the road where youth park was, there was a DJ showdown and also a flee market.
SDS 1.18 – Birdplane
Even though I’m not sponsored by G&B comics, it feels like this post is brought to you by them since it’s going to be full of comic-ky goodness! It’s because this episode features Free Comic Book Day! Yaaaay.
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!
A Comedy of Errors
Booyah! I went to “An Evening With Mark Waid”. Saw Mr Comic Shop Owner guy (Bernard of G&B Comics) and I’m more than sure he thinks I’m a freakish fangirl by now or something since I keep appearing at the comic panels and talks. I just do especially for this month since it’s Singapore Writers Festival and I’m there anyway… ANYWHO, The Pod is a super special restricted area of the library where you have to be registered to enter since it’s only accessible by one lift and only when it’s “beep”ed in by the staff.
