Last weekend, I was at Pasir Panjang Power Station for ‘SingLit Power House’, which is part of the #BuySingLit movement that celebrates Singapore Literature. The movement is the joint effort of homegrown book publishers, retailers and literary non-profits to encourage more people to discover and embrace our local literature. I caught the spine-chilling ‘Glorious, Monstrous Hantu Tales from Singapore’ — a performance produced by Cake that blended live performance, film and writing from some of Singapore’s haunting stories. The work was commissioned by the National Arts Council, and was first presented at Southbank Centre as part of London Literature Festival 2019. Another interesting performance was Modern: Resonance II — a site-specific performance first initiated by Goethe-Institut Singapore featuring a collaboration between spoken word poet Deborah Emmanuel, visual artist Alecia Neo and sound artist Li-Chuan Chong. There are several #BuySingLit events you can attend this weekend. Find out more about them via link in profile. #SupportLocal #ReadOurWorld #BuySingLit2020 https://www.instagram.com/p/B9nyK40Hc5K/?igshid=hcse0vxnzban

헐~~ Hull! I was doing some spring cleaning and came across 'inex magazine' (2013, vol 20) where my first book 'Gedung Kuning; Memories of a Malay Childhood' was featured. I had forgotten about that interview done by a Korean writer. I think that this article is my first article published by a non-English and non-Malay media channel in Singapore and overseas. Who would have thought... Anyway, I remember asking my Korean friend whom I had met at the United Nations to help me translate the article (not sure if I ever got the translated text from her). . 대박! Daebak! So surreal, given my 'late-bloomer' interest in the Korean wave. . ps. Do check out the revised edition of the book. Available in major bookstores in Singapore and Malaysia (APD Book Services Sdn Bhd.) #gedungkuning #KampungGelam #kampongglam #singapore #history #nonfiction #heritage #goodbook #roots #southeastasia #malayarchipelago #singlit #BuySingLit #supportlocal #malay #helangbooks #apdsingapore #apdbookservices #narratives #singaporeheritagesociety #archipelagoconsultancyrocks (at South Korea) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZJ_ksoBFhi/?utm_medium=tumblr

Got a free pass to observe some elves inside their new habitat. Inside this temperature control facility on level 2, most of the inhabitants love congregating around the north east end where the climate is cooler. 🐒🙊 Congratulations @booksactually ! 🥳A lovely space indeed!! .

#Repost @winstedtschool with @repostapp ・・・ #winstedtschool students met Gus the Tiger today 🐯 He's cool, sophisticated & the only #tiger ever allowed in @raffleshotelsingapore - fact! Bubbly author Fleur Vella-Chang told us more about Gus' adventures in her book "Afternoon Tea At Raffles Hotel". She even demonstrated how to draw him in a few simple steps. We loved having her over! 😃 @sgwritersfest @ethosbooks @closetfulofbooks #wordsgoround #buysinglit #singaporeschool #authorvisits (at The Winstedt School)

SUPPORT

A tiny dot A hot spot A black isle Where lions dwelled The otters came A stellar game Ulysses saw The great uproar The syonan flickered While apologists bicker The light flickered The critics snickered But Hock Chye stood tall The party girl called The rich went crazy Over life's little ironies If the dream was too long The dragon's sleep prolonged If I must stay Along the corridor's fierce hour My mood remains dour As my nasi turned sour This is the eleventh hour To revise the teenager's workbook But to Popular we must go My lead's no more. The myth is so stoned We cannot do it alone So come One and all To the clarion call There's money to be made Legacies to stake Amd memories to keep Together

This brand new refurbished retro building here in Little India is the new kid on the block. Got a free pass to get the first look inside this 3 story walk-up retail outlet, which has the potential to be a boutique hotel. But for now, they’ll be selling books. Swipe for drawing stage. .

Some time ago, I illustrated a children's book, Meet The Wakersaur, and it got featured as the book of the day at the #buysinglit pop up store. 🎉 Big thank you to Shervin who gave me the opportunity to bring his story to life. ☺️💜 ~ #puffingmuffin #pfmf #bookillustration #picturebook #book #illustration #kids #buysinglit #illustrator #artistsoninstagram #illustrationartists #paint #ilovemyjob #vivocity #singapore #exploresingapore #instagood #tgif (at VivoCity)
