I said to come back on Wednesday. So hah!
Anime Festival Asia (AFA) is on this weekend at the Expo. I’ll be going on SUNDAY. In fact, I’ve written a GUIDE TO AFA 2012 at SGCafe.
So yes. See you guys if you’re around!
PS. If you’re a Canon user, you can get VIP access to the Marble Collection show. More details here!
The Nanowrimo kick-off for Singapore was wonderful. With 66 people sigining in, NOT including their parents/children or friends who came with them, they filled up the programme zone of the Bishan Library.
Everything is happening on the 27th of October this year.
Don’t forget that our Nanowrimo kick-off party is at Bishan library, programme zone, level 2. The party starts at 4pm! Nanowrimoer-s sign in the book to get your nanowrimo sticker.Our party theme is DIY! If you want to bring crackers/snacks to share, feel free to do so! Best if Halal so everyone can eat it too.
Our unofficial dress code is: Wear whatever is decent to the library that you want to wear and have no occasion to, so this is the best time to wear whatever you want or show your fandom through your attire.
Yes.
AND for everything else…
Singapore’s 24 Hours Comics Day will be held this coming Saturday, 20 October 2012 at Bukit Merah Library. More info on registry, it is on the SG 24 Hour Comics website. If you ever wanted to try 24 hour comics day, you should register and go do it with the other artists!
It’s like the comics equivalent of Nanowrimo only you have to do a comic.
In 24 Hours.
Duh.
WELL, the atmosphere is fun and everyone else will be rushing to complete their stories too. The library has rented a lot of tables just for this event and it’ll be like an overnight camp with no less games and more drawing!
And here are the details for the Nanowrimo kick-off party 2012!
Location: Bishan Library, level 2, Programme Zone
Time: 4pm-6pm
Date: 27 October 2012, Saturday
Yesss. If you need a pictorial guide to the library from the MRT station, click here. Or if you need a VIDEO of the location, it’s here. It is the day after Hari Raya Haji and it is a fairly transparent place if you check out the pictures. Oh, of course it is free. This year’s unnofficial theme for Singapore s “Do It Yourself” cause we have no monies. Aha ha ha ha ha.
But in a way, teamwork it is!
And this is a video of us to YOU Nanowrimo-ers. Don’t forget to check the threads out on the forums at the main webby here!

17 July 2012 was when the first the Hunger Games was held in Singapore. Well, more like an event at the national library featuring the Hunger Games!
Volume 2 of Real Escape Game Singapore just ended. Considering this is posted on Mondays, yep, it has ended. Volume 2’s episode was “Escape from the Werewolf Village” and ran from Friday till Sunday at *scape warehouse.
The listings for May! ALSO, did you get the pun in the title? Eh? EH?
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:
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!
So we did go to the Uke Madness jam thing by Ukulele Movement at CHIJMES on Saturday evening! It was a pretty relaxing and fun. Plus, the weather was being rather nice. It had rained earlier on in the day so it was good that it brightened up by then.
It’s that time of year again where you ESCAPE THE WEREWOLF VILLAGE! We went to the first one and it was FUN and awesome in puzzle solving and code breaking. Here’s a teaser:
Check the facebook of Real Escape Game Singapore to get more info. Meanwhile, if you guys want to know which session my crew and others would be going for, it’ll be the 12 May, 7.30pm slot! Tickets run out quick cause really, it is that fun.
MEANWHILE, another challenge!
