May you have an awesome adventure
The listings for May! ALSO, did you get the pun in the title? Eh? EH?
May Adventures!
4 May – It’s May 4th or May the 4th be with you. Star Wars day!
5 May -Â Free Comic Book Day! GnB comics will have two guests at their shop! Nicola Scott and Ardian Syaf. Besides that, free comics (duh)! Some titles are quite popular so get them as soon as you can. From past experiences, even if you’re not a member of the store, you’d get free comics but just lesser than members.
Also, the 1st 100 GnB MEMBERS to arrive on FCBD will get 1 Lucky Draw Ticket that will entitle them a chance to WIN an original art piece kindly donated by Nicola Scott ! Alternatively, if you’re going to Kinokuniya, you’d get 20% discount on comics at Kinokuniya and a limited set of free comic books with every purchase.
4-8 May – Traditional Wayang at Pulau Ubin! More details here. The details say that it has free rides to Pulau Ubin and to quote: This is NOT a special performance put up for the public, but a part of the way of life of the residents of Ubin. Here is a chance to take part in a dying tradition.
12 May – Escape from Werewolf Village! This time, it’s tougher than ever! Solve the puzzles and escape from the werewolf village at *scape! Tickets available at Gatecrash, Ticket Cube or SAM machines.
I suggest you go to ticket cube if you are going with a group to make sure that you’d be going to a slot with enough availability for everyone. ALSO, you can only play this ONCE.
19 May – Food Revolution Day! Yes, that Jamie Oliver’s food revolution. We have a Food Revolution Day in Singapore! It’ll be at the lawn of 31 Biopolis Way.
Just check out their facebook event link for more info. What is definite is that you’re probably going to learn how to cook food or eat it.
19 May – International Museum Day! Free entry to museums on this day. That means it includes:
- Asian Civilisations Museum
- Memories at Old Ford Factory
- National Museum of Singapore
- Peranakan Museum
- Reflections at Bukit Chandu
- Singapore Art Museum
- Singapore Philatelic Museum
26 May (to 27 May) – SPORE CON! Besides a convention for analogue gaming, this year we have more special guests like Sonny Liew, Drewscape and much more. Plus okay, US! The Happy Smiley Writers Group! Come, come! It’ll be fun.
26 May – Pandemic! It’s actually brought in by the Singapore Arts Festival but if you haven’t got enough running around escaping from werewolves in the previous week… RUN AWAY FROM VAMPIRES FOR THIS EVENING! It’s at Old School at Mount Sofia and to get up there if you’re using public transport, well, there’s a stupid hill involved.
Everyone describes it as “the stupid hill”. It says it’s an interactive installation with storyline. The website linked from the Singapore Arts Festival site to their “official” site seems odd though. I’d just stick to the details on SAF’s. Oh! And you have to be at least 16 and above for this.
That’s it for May! If you’ve an event that is exciting or something that is new or different, comment in this post and I’ll update!
The Singapore We’re Not The Usual Blog Awards 2012 – Categories!
Ok so there’s this yearly blog awards that’s happening right now and a lot of people on twitter and such have pretty much said that they don’t fit in any categories (including me).
It’s always the usual foodie/lifestyle/fashion whatever blogs. Surely there’s more blogs than that! If it were only that, I’d be totally bored. So I decided to do this.
No prizes since this would the first time trying this out. Unless by the middle of this whole experimental thing, people start to donate prizes and stuff.
We’ll see then. However, with all the listings, we’ll finally learn more blogs than the usual ones we see in the news/media/linked to us. So that would be pretty neat, wouldn’t it?
For now, here are the deadlines:
Categories submission: 27 April – 11 May
Nomination of blogs: 18 May – 8 June
Voting of blogs: 22 June – 22 July
Alright, now I need YOUR help! I have planned down some categories but I know I might be missing out some, click on read more to see and also COMMENT with your suggestions!
The categories will then be finalized for the nomination of blogs on 18 May.

And back to you!
HELLO EVERYONE! It’s February and it’s back to the usual Monday weekly posts! HO HO HO. Even though it was quiet here, we’ve I’ve been up to a lot of things and events.
We’ve been doing lomography and stuff since the new store opened at Chinatown area and held some workshops.
And a song
Daddy Ate My Fries – Sarah & Serry version
While Sarah is off doing things (like guest podcasting/blogging/adventuring elsewhere), here’s a song from today’s recording!
It’s Marceline’s Daddy Ate My Fries song from Adventure Time.
Or, check out the next post of N.E.mation here. It features… THE TOILET GAME.
SDS 3.21 – Take on Me
I went for the seminar instead of the workshops since I didn’t really need those. So yes, to sum it up, it was fun and super informative! This is also the first time the event is held and from what I heard from the organizer, she might be doing smaller versions, just some of the talks on its own in the future besides just the main event?
SDS 3.19 – Speeding Cars
It’s F1 season in Singapore. Hence the roads near the city have gates built up and roads are being diverted when the actual race is on. Before the week when the races were on, there were activities to hype up the event.
Let’s write some stories!
Talk/Discussion on Writing Real Life Speculative Fiction
Admission: Free
Location: Central library, multipurpose room (basement)
When: 24 September, Saturday, 6pm
Come on down if you’re interested in learning how to write fiction and yes, finally we have this once more since it was postponed by the elections. Gee.
MEANWHILE…
The same weekend has a WaterFire® art installation by Barnaby Evans at Bedok Reservoir. Main programme starts at 6pm but the fires light up at 7.40pm for 24th and 25th September. I know I’ll be going to the one on Sunday. Would be lovely to check it out and get inspiration and whatnot.
Click the picture above to see the full programme!
Also, what’s this…?
Oooh a Comics Xchange?
SDS 3.17 – Waiting for the End
There was a lot of queuing for that week of 3 September.
SDS 3.15 – Here It Goes Again
Singapore, Toys, Games and Comics Convention aka STGCC was fun even though there was so much negativity online before it. I blame the lack of updates from the main STGCC website.
You want to tease the audience, sure but don’t tease them till the last minute. I found out some competitions or activities just a few days before the event date. Due to the lack of information, people don’t really want to pay money for what they don’t know, yeah?
Hope next year they’ll put out the info much earlier. Ignoring all the online negative bits, YAZAAA! Look below.
I have tons of pictures so it’s difficult to pick which to post here. Instead, you can have a look see of a video that Carmen Sandiego I made. And now I begin not from the start but from the middle and onwards since I wandered around before checking things out in order!
