swf 2019

last year for Singapore Writers Festival i laosaied my way out of multiple panels for the first time. SWF is always a terok season so this year i begged new festival director Pooja Nansi to go easy on me for scheduling, and just use me a reserve who can plug into random panels when other ppl laosai.

instead, this is what i got:

<Generation Gap: Koh Tai Ann x Joshua Ip>
Sat 9 Nov 11am-12pm, Blue Room, The Arts House (Festival Pass)
-> In which I get upbraided for 1 hour by one of the most formidable literary ladies to walk the face of Pulau NTU

<Issues in Men's Writing>
with Neil Humphreys and Darryl Whetterwriter, mod Amanda Chong
Sat 9 Nov 3pm-4pm, Chamber, The Arts House (Festival Pass)
-> In which I get upbraided for 1 hour by the even more formidable junior version of Koh Tai Ann, with two other unwitting men who are about to, alongside me, have a new arsehole torn where their scrotum currently resides

find me around the house, i'll be wandering around all day looking destroyed. there is apparently a festival bar this year, which will be necessary.
