Neil Gaiman's in singapore and was at library@orchard... it was interesting to meet and hear him speak and share insights and readings with us. i'm just struck at how down to earth, witty and lyrical he is...i loved his reading of Anansi Boys... i will definitely be getting a copy to read it for myself... i can't wait to see how the story turns out.
Anyway... did you know that he wrote the english script to Princess Mononoke? Darn... i should have brought my DVD and have him autograph it... it would have been something different for sure.. from all the Sandman and other books etc... not that i don't appreciate his writings...
p/s... the signing's queue are super long... and people actually waited for over 4 hours... and i'm amazed that he actually signed for so long...his hand must be numb.. worse still, wrist strain (not the most pleasant feeling in the world). Ain't it great that we have word processors now?

Well, you got a couple of things autographed. Just that he addressed them library@orchard, instead of to you. :) But don't despair. You were one of the few who got up close and personal. And even spoke to him.
Skipper the Penguin(from the movie, Madagascar): You didn't see anything!
p/s...har har har.. but it was sure memorable.. i wish that i could have gotten a picture with him though..
