Come on down to say hello, breathe “thank goodness it’s over”, and to get your Script Frenzy sticker! For the stickers are shiny and look pretty awesome.

This was probably because they’d cordoned off the area leading to the cafe, because they were cleaning the building facade, so [...]]]> Today was meant to be a HSWG-cum-informal Script Frenzy meeting, but besides a few HSWGers who were doing Script Frenzy, no other participants came. Or at least they didn’t come up and say hello to us.

This was probably because they’d cordoned off the area leading to the cafe, because they were cleaning the building facade, so perhaps they were given the wrong impression that Geek Terminal was closed. But it wasn’t! Most of us came around one side of the cordon, ducked under the cordon, and kept close to the wall under the overhang.

As with all HSWG conversations, topics vary wildly. This time it was centered mostly around language, including the use of certain terms in the ongoing Tea Party protests, regional differences among Mandarin speakers, swearwords in various local languages, and Singlish.

In addition to that, we acted as sounding boards for Raven Azure, who was trying to figure out her script’s climatic battle. I wrote a little of my script, though I found the conversation far too interesting to get much done. There was also some discussion about a super-secret project that we’re putting together, hopefully in time for the upcoming Singapore Writers Festival at the end of the year.

Today’s meeting wrapped up relatively early, and as we were paying our bills at the counter we noticed it appeared to be rainingdespite Nerwen‘s earlier statement that it probably wouldn’t rain today.

We’ve never had a HSWG where it didn’t rain, but! Once we stepped outside we realised that it wasn’t raining, it was just the workers above spraying the building facade with jets of water. Therefore the rain was very much contained to around the worksite.

The next HSWG, barring any changes, will be on May 16. Before that, there will very likely be a Script Frenzy TGIO party/meeting of some sort, but I’ll have more details when we get closer to the end of the month!

Just a quick reminder!

The Happy Smiley Writers Group (aka HSWG) will be meeting again this coming Saturday at Geek Terminal. Details as follows:
