So...
Happy (belated) Lunar New Year! Today is the 7th day: so we all turn a year older. (I am 45, gosh).
Merry Imbolc too!
The coronavirus thing is fucked up. I blame the media for causing panic and paranoia. And also the rank assholes who have been spreading falsehoods. I have seen and heard the spike of racism in many countries. Doesn't take a lot to bring out the racists, eh?
I am anxious. Singapore have 13 cases and the cases are bound to go up. We are getting on with our lives, but now with extra precautions (washing of hands, wearing of masks etc).
But... there are THINGS.
First of - Fire Heart is being released in MAY.
Second - ICFA.
Third - Local kidlit folk getting together.
So, I have good things to focus on.

Feb. 14th, 2019 12:40 pmI haven't updated the blog for a while - but happy Lunar New Year! Gung hei fatt choy!
We also celebrated Bai Tian Gong yesterday, which falls on the 9th day of the 15-day Lunar New Year festivities. Bai Tian Gong has special significance to Hokkien Chinese as it is a day of gratitude and celebrating the birthday of the Jade Emperor.
Also sent off all my edits. So, I am giving myself a semi-hiatus.
:D
Also Valentine's and Galentine's Day!
