From the brief time I was there, I did know the place had quite fun staff and teachers (who are actors\/actresses\/hosts\/etc). AND I KNOW Irene Ang is a really, really good host too.<\/p>\n<p>PS. NO. I DIDN&#8217;T COUNT ALL the SG50 talk mentions in my challenge because I&#8217;m not doing it beast mode.<\/p>\n<p>PPS.

I brought along <a href=\"http:\/\/paperperil.tumblr.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Max<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/joelynalexandra.wordpress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Jo<\/a> because I know I&#8217;d be such a nerd in a bar so instead, with the two of them there, we became a nerd table instead. (THANKS FOR GIVING ME A PLUS TWO to the event you Fly guys [pun]).<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, it was really like a chit chat session somewhat but with the thoughts of the panelists about what it meant to them and such. It is SO MUCH un-serious like how some panels of SG50 would be like? Yet it had all the good important points.<\/p>\n<p>Stuff I remembered, which I liked:<\/p>\n<p>Pat Law saying that don&#8217;t just talk do <em>it<\/em>. Cause UGHHH it really is a thing. People usually just talk and complain but don&#8217;t do? I mean, sure you can complain and such but come on people. Try to do something about it.<\/p>\n<p>And I believe a little something of anything does help than instead of just talking (as you might tell from my blog&#8230; in what hijinks I get too and that&#8217;s not even half of it).<\/p>\n<p>Another one is Patricia Mok, she got the trio of us cheering because wow. She really raises a lot of points.<\/p>\n<p>Like how why not singletons, if they can afford it why can&#8217;t we buy homes at 30 instead of 35, of single parent rights and oh maaan. It&#8217;s just so logical, not rant RANTY but it makes people think?<\/p>\n<p>Pretty much, we went all OH SNAAAAP.<\/p>\n<p>Ok, not to leave the other panelists out but really, the two of them were my favs out of them all but ALL of them were good just that P&amp;P had topics that I really had thought on before.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.seriouslysarah.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/lucky.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"6954\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.seriouslysarah.com\/blog\/2015\/02\/02\/so-sure-yeah\/lucky\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.seriouslysarah.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/lucky.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"800,600\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Lucky draw!\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.seriouslysarah.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/lucky.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-6954 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.seriouslysarah.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/lucky-480x360.jpg\" alt=\"Lucky draw!\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.seriouslysarah.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/lucky-480x360.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.seriouslysarah.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/lucky.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Auggh, cannot help it, the whole panel was like a light hearted comedy BUT with punchy facts, which I like.<\/p>\n<p>I really can&#8217;t do serious panel stuff since I might fall asleep on it.
