I've been doing #3 and #4 for ages. Otherwise it's easy to overlook the details or the good quotes. Now if only something could help with auto-transcribing interviews ...

Okay, next time you want to go

Okay, next time you want to go to Hoi An and eat up a storm, let me know!

Alas, duties are recalling him to Hong Kong, so I'll be fronting the Singapore Writers Festival event solo.

Thanks for all the well wishes

Thanks for all the well wishes. :) AcidFlask > It's available for pre-order on Amazon, but I'm not sure when stocks will become available. I'll check with my publisher and get back to you.

And this morning, I'm off to a meeting --- whee!

It was a private screening. I don't think there's an official release date for Asia yet.

strangemessages > I still have half a tub of the Wall's triple chocolate to finish first. But yes, there's an Awfully Chocolate not too far from where I live, and I keep forgetting that they do ice cream, not just cake. Anonymous > Well, the question is whether the supermarket has that flavour in stock. It seems like they all stock up more on the fancy-schmancy flavours these days.

In Seoul, the common practice

2009-08-20T12:56:42.710+02:00

In Seoul, the common practice on the train is to leave such seats empty, even if there are no elderly or pregnant people around, and even if the train is crowded. Also, many elderly people are not shy about asking younger people to give up their seats! It's great.

Just look at what you like, and enjoy it? That's my philosophy. As for the horses, our inimitable Straits Times had to go and say something silly about it.

Enid Coleslaw > I know he was the scriptwriter, but I'm wondering what exactly he wrote. My pet peeve was with what the TV commentators were saying, and I'd be happy to blame MediaCorp for that. :) amaranth > Yeah, he was so earnest! And then cut to --- Sometimes I swear the producers of these live telecasts seem to have a sense of dark humour too.

I like your use of "shan't" --

2009-08-03T02:03:46.742+02:00

I like your use of "shan't" --- for me it always speaks to the English side of childhood reading (too many hours with Enid Blyton and that ilk). But "realer" (from the book blurb)?! So clunky and ugly. I hope it wasn't used in the book text itself.

I look forward to hearing what

2009-08-02T03:29:30.252+02:00

I look forward to hearing what you make of your readings! All I've read is Naomi Wolf's Misconceptions.

Thanks for your comments! Oik

Thanks for your comments! Oikono > I really loved Korea too and would love to go back. Will be following your North Korea travelogue entries --- I'm very curious to see that country as well. quitacet > I'll update this blog as and when other writing is published. Not sure if I'll write about teaching, but hey, there are plenty of teachers blogging out there.

Very cool. I especially like the last photo in that series, and the third one with the deckchairs and, er, green stuff. Have you visited River Valley swimming pool before? I have a rather lame photo from a couple of years ago.

I really wish Apple would hurry up and make a netbook! Alternatively I'd have to buy a PC one and learn to rip out the OS and replace it with Ubuntu or something ...

I had someone Facebook-mail me

2008-09-20T07:20:52.412+02:00

I had someone Facebook-mail me once (without a friend request) which turned out to be unsolicited spam as well. I submitted a complaint to Facebook (they have a procedure for it, though I'm not sure if they took any action against the user) and also blocked the person.

Yay --- based on your xiaolongbao test, I'm Chinese too! But I've never quite finished even yi long by myself. Happy travels!
