There was a literary cocktail with Garth Nix last week (1 March 2012), technically he was here in Singapore for a few school visits, a free event at The Arts House on Wednesday for a promo of his new book A Confusion of Princes and well, this one!
It was supposed to be at the Blue Room but it was held at the Earshot Cafe.
It’s cozier there.
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.
Hey all! While Sarah Does Singapore is off for this season, check out my posts at N.E.Mation here!

Ps. YES, I did get in top three for the N.Emation ambassador competition.
Don’t forget! Come join our Nanowrimo Thank Goodness It’s Over Party/Steampunk book launch!
Yes! Spread the word on our Nanowrimo Thank Goodness It’s Over party and our steampunk book launch! Come along if you’re interested in Nanowrimo (even though it’s ended by then) or if you’ve tried to do it an either succeeded/failed/gone meh and will try another time. You can bring your friends too in case you feel alone but from the previous parties, pretty much everyone become pals with each other very quickly.
On our steampunk anthology book launch, it is titled The Steampowered Globe and available for just $15 at the event!
It’s usually $18++ at Kino and other stores cause they’ll add in GST. Anyway, the first anthology of steampunk short stories by Two Trees and I could probably guess, the first in Singapore too since I have never seen another one like this before.
Bring even more friends and support this book by buying it cause the bulk of the writers are Nanowrimo-ers too!
The stories:
Ascension by Leow Hui Min Annabeth
No, They Dream Of Mechanical Hearts by Claire Cheong
Morrow’s Knight by Viki Chua
Colours by Yuen Xiang Hao
The Morning Glory Incident by Mint Kang
Help! Same Angler Fish’s Been Gawking for Eight Minutes! by Ng Kum Hoon
Captain Bells and the Sovereign State of Discordia by JY Yang
So yes, anyone is free to come. If you know people who like writing or reading, double plus if they like steampunk, they should come. ALSO, the dresscode will be steampunk. Or at least, that is encouraged.
You can wear whatever you want, usually when visiting a library if you don’t have any steampunk attire but really, when else besides conventions can you wear it?
Here, for you own blogs, to retweet or anything like that, the files for the poster in JPG version, PNG version or even GIF version for you to download and post (right click and save file). Plus the text below for you to copy paste!

Jo and I got invited to the opening of the Singapore Writers Festival. Since it was evening and we could make it, well, we decided to go! As we approached the tent, we glimpsed Dave Chua of Gone Case but ALAS, he disappeared as we entered for that evening was also the opening of an exhibition by Sonny Liew elsewhere which I didn’t know and also the launch of the Gone Case 2, the graphic novel.
NO MATTER, so we bust into the tent like the writers we are.
Which is to say we pushed opened the doors and pretty much walked in after saying our names at the sign in area.

The kick off for Nanowrimo in Singapore was at the multipurpose room of the National Library. Somehow even though it was to be on at 6.30pm, there were a lot of early comers filling up the seats in the front and it didn’t take long for other people to stream in too.

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?
I can’t remember if there were park festivals before this year but I knew about this year from an emailer I got since they were having a WaterFire® art installation at Bedok Reservoir on the 24th and 25th September!
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.
