the second weekend in December, 2006

The Singapore Biennale has come and gone and I have not written anything about it.

Weekends start on Friday and last Friday at 5 pm I was finishing a game as a contestant in the Code-a-thon sponsored by the Asian Game Developers Association. We made a game about the fat content in foods.
I rushed back to the temple in Hougang. The men cracked whips and the gods dragged chains with links as big as fists. They offered me a shirt and the chance to ride to Geylang in the neon covered trucks.

I met her instead.

She had returned from Sweden and I was very happy.

Stelarc had arrived and I caught him the minute he walked into his hotel room.

Saturday I sold a tshirt at the instinc flea market, taught a gamemaking class, rushed back to the flea market, then rushed to the Science Center to meet Stelarc and go over the preparations needed for his presentation. I also ran to Beadhub, where Alex kindly allowed me to see if his power cord could be used as a temporary replacement.
Stelarc and I caught up and had pizza and shrimp. We found the power cord in his room and I then went to return Alex's cord...and then after a rambling walk in Little India, we came home.

Sunday-flea market. Science Center opening, with champagne in test tubes. Home, emails and then to bed.

To add the meat to the skeleton of these records would take more energy than I presently have, but here are a few nouns: Segways, prosthetics, bites, bangs, a prosthetic head, arrogance, kindness, humidity, tshirts, donuts, the morgue, taxis and Legos.

Oh yes, today at Stelarc's presentation he wired my arms and entered electricity into my muscles so that my arms moved and contracted involuntarily.

I was happy that Stelarc was able to come to Singapore. Thank you Science Center.

I promise I will later write something about machinima......
