BuySingLit Festival 2017

Happy me! I stocked up my personal library with some local Singaporean literature at the BuySingLit Festival 2017 at Gillman Barracks in Singapore. I've thoroughly enjoyed myself in the weekend of activities dedicated to Singaporean literature, browsing the books, listening to local authors, talking to publishers and receiving book recommendations from them. It was awesome!

It was very nice to meet poet and graphic artist Dr. Gwee Li Sui at the BuySingLit Festival 2017 in Singapore. What an awesome thinker!

The highlight of my visit was meeting the author, poet, graphic guru, and thinker, the one and only Dr. Gwee Li Sui. I’m now a proud owner of @gweezilla's (that is his Twitter and Instagram handles) latest autographed Haikuku and Written Country: The History of Singapore Through Literature.

I also bought two Singapore coloring books and two Malay books.
