If it’s Nov 30 in wherever you are, you might notice that you can’t validate your wordcount because the site thinks that Nov is over. Don’t panic! It’s a site bug that was just discovered by the folks in Australia and NZ. HQ is working on fixing it. Currently, the only workaround is to change your timezone to something [...] We’ll be at The Arts House again! This week Bring your brolly! It’s been raining like mad these past few days, so hopefully we wouldn’t be flooded in. Here’s a map from City Hall mrt station: View [...] Here’s the continuation of the preview from yesterday. The first part can be found here. Again: don’t own Twitter or any of its trademarks, won’t be making money off the novel, and Fail Whales are adorable. I’m doing Nanowrimo, and I promised a few people I’d put up a preview of my favorite part so far. ‘Informata’ is based on the premise that things on the Internet exist in a dimension that certain people can access and maintain, so it was a natural choice that the Fail Whales of Twitter fame should make an appearance. Plus they are so ridiculously cute. Disclaimer: I don’t own, and don’t claim to own, any of Twitter’s trademarks. The Fail Whale belongs to Twitter. I’m not making any money off Informata, because I fully intend to bury it in my hard drive forever after November. That being said, have Part 1 of a preview! Click through for the preview. This week is APEC meeting week, but we’re still on for Nanowrimo write-ins! This week Take public transport! There are several road and lane closures because of the APEC meetings, so public transport is your best bet to getting [...] Just a quick reminder! Nanowrimo Singapore will be meeting every weekend in November for write-ins, so come on down and join us if you can! This week Nearest MRT stations are City Hall and Raffles Place, but I recommend [...] I don’t have many pictures for this, largely because I was too busy to take any! Quite a lot of the photos were by Nerwen. On Saturday was the kick-off party for the Singapore chapter of Nanowrimo, of which I’m proud to be co-Municipal Liaison for. It was also the launch of Happiness at the End of the World, a collection of short stories revolving around the title theme. You can buy Happiness from our publisher, Two Trees! Things started off really well with a gigantic cake box being delivered to my home. I was a little late because traffic was bad, but by the time I arrived at Earshot cafe things were already buzzing. There’s quite a lot of thanks to go around, so I’ll try to fit everyone into my thirty-second speech :P There were competitions and prizes given out, but everything went so fast and so crazy that I completely lost track. I had a heck of a time. I was so pleased with all our Undercover outfits – what with it being Halloween and all. I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves.

I went to see Neil Gaiman today! After waiting over four hours for tickets, you can bet I was excited as heck to see the man himself! With me was Seriously Sarah, Nerwen, Joelyn Alexandra (formerly Raven Azure, who is moving sites) and Justin from Nanowrimo. They had to move the venue from the Chamber inside the Arts House (200 seats) to the Victoria Theatre (900 seats) because demand was so high. I learnt a lot of things about the area today, including that it’s very easy to walk from Cavenagh Bridge to Victoria Theatre and cut through to the Arts House. I’ve been going to that area for four years now, and only this year I find out… Sigh. I was in the ticket-holders line, of course, but there was also this – and the organiser’s sense of humor really shines through…
Heh. People did try, though! Nevermind that all the tickets were gone. It’s Neil Gaiman, man. And some of them got really lucky! I saw a few people in the ticket-holders line give their extra tickets to the ticketless, largely because their friends couldn’t make it at the last minute. (Read more) |
