Hello there. I am Terry and I am a full-time undergraduate based in Singapore. I take photos, write a blog and design websites.

And no, I'm not a teddy bear.

World Of Chinese Books Fair

The title doesn't sound gramatically correct but that's the english translation of the bookfair from the booklet I got there.

This Chinese bookfair is held at Mines Wonderland from the 17th to 26th of November (that makes today the second last day!) Since my parents went down to Singapore to fetch my brother and I'm alone at home, my aunt took me to the bookfair to waste some time. ;) In fact I didn't expect it to be held in such a large scale!!! Look at the panorama below and you'll get what I mean. You can click on it the view the original version (you should do so since this is the cropped version).

I spotted this stall selling my childhood favourite comic called Doraemon! :mrgreen:

Doraemon

While I went around hunting for National Geographic magazines (since we can freely browse the books / magazines displayed), this salesman approached me at the stall… he was interactive and fun but what he doesn't know as that he was disturbing my reading. He suggested that I subsribe to… basically all the magazines they are selling. LOL. Anyway I got his name card, which scared the hell out of me (only my schoolmates will get it) – he got the same name as one of my school's student!!!

What?!

My aunt went to this comic stall, bought a book and asked the author to draw her a comic. Haha… very cute :razz:

Hand-drawn

And before we went home she treated me lunch at a restaurant that sells the famous paper-wrapped chicken :p it sells chicken that are wrapped in paper… and it smells so nice!

Have a nice day everyone! :mrgreen:

Your name is required. Why?

  • So that I can address you personally (which I'm more than happy to do).
  • Everyone loves their name to be called, right? Nobody wants to be referred to as 'a certain someone' or Mr X (X-Men members aside).
  • If your post too much spam, your name will be imprinted on a personalised voodoo doll, completely free of charge. I'm just joking!

Your email is needed. Why?

  • Your email is, and will, never be given out to any third party under any conditions (except for people sneaking up behind me when I'm on WP admin).
  • So that I can contact you personally in case of certain issues that I wish to address personally.
  • If you post too much spam, I'll email the same spam you've posted 10 times back to you, completely free of charge.

You can always leave a personal URL behind

  • It can be anything - most people put their blog URL, their facebook page, their Twitter URL, their MySpace or etc.
  • I give love back by saying NO to no-follow. All of your webbie links are dofollows instead.

Twitter. Twitter. Twitter.

Hello Easter Egg hunter! You've discovered the magic of the Konami Code!

Yea. You probably know what the Konami code is before getting to this page. So now what? Here is a randomised YouTube video on my favourites list... which includes Rickroll, if you're luck enough to get it.

You are currently watching Wedding Crashers: The Perfect Girl in Typography. Loving it? You can even watch the video in its full screen glory :)
