The Readings

It was a great morning, warm as usual, but with some assurances from friends that taking the KKVE to Bangsar should be okay. I did turn out to be okay.

Meeting Sharon after a long gap was nice, and meeting Chet – who is as friendly and cuddly as the pandas she loves – was great too. Was impressed with her Neo and called to buy one for myself. If you want to know more about NEO and his other sister the erstwhile DANA go here.

Went to the Breakfast at MPH. It has been a long time since I attended a literary gathering of any sort and it was good. Sharon has blogged about it I need not go into the details.

Met Raman after a while too, wished I had more to have long leisurely chat with him.

Got to meet Shahril Nizam, have so enjoyed is art. Later someone told me Amir Muhammad was there too. Would have liked to shake his hand, liked his book too.

Would like to get hold of Shamala’s writing, sounded very interesting.

Here is to hoping I can make a return.

Oh you were there too! It was my first time attending one of the 'Readings' and I hardly knew anyone. Afraid I didn't circulate much... So shy lah.

Indeed.

We should make it a point to circulate more, no?

Cheers.

Did you manage to get hold of the AlphaSmart distributor in Penang?

The regulars (me included) should've done more to introduce the newbies!

But it just means you two will have to attend another literary Saturday soon!

Could nopt check the pictures though, keep getting some permission error.
