Woooh, a whole bunch of events! Well, usually these things tend to run in the second half of the year onwards. Click the more<\/em> cut to read more. We have:<\/p>\n Uuuungh. I did wonder to split this post into two or something but whatever. I’ll put them under headlines so you can scroll and pick at it at your own pace or something. Or usually, I’d just copy just the title of the event and press ctrl+f it or apple+f depending on which computer I’m on.<\/p>\n Onwards we go!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Location:<\/strong> National Library, Possibility Room, Level 5<\/p>\n Date: <\/strong>29 June 2010<\/p>\n Time:<\/strong> 7pm<\/p>\n Nigel Barley<\/em> is the author of twenty books, academic and popular, in genres as diverse as travel writing, fiction, biography and art history. In the Footsteps of Raffles <\/strong>and Rouge Raider<\/strong> are two of his books which have been written against the backdrop of Singapore and her history.<\/p>\n In this session, Nigel will discuss some of the particular difficulties and satisfactions that lie behind various works, concentrating on those involving the history of Singapore and SE Asia. He will also tease out certain themes that have emerged increasingly over the years such as his motivation as a writer, his personal relationship to his subjects and the tension between randomness and structure.<\/p>\n Admission is free<\/strong>! Places are limited, so please register via http:\/\/golibrary.nlb.gov.sg<\/a> or by clicking here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Location:<\/strong> National Library<\/p>\n Date: <\/strong>26 June & 3 July<\/p>\n Time:<\/strong> 8.30am – 12pm<\/p>\n As part of the Singapore Memory Project, you are invited to join as storywriters of Singapore’s rich heritage.

This book presents essential scientific and clinical knowledge which would reduce stigma, give hope, and reduce suffering.<\/p>\n Co-written by 32 experts consisting of doctors, psychiatrists and ex-patients in Singapore, they shared their knowledge in a straight forward, easily understood manner of the psychological illness from various perspectives in 24 articles in the book.<\/p>\n Admission is free<\/strong>!
