It is the evening before the Asian Festival of Children’s Content here in Singapore and the excitement is growing as we expect artists, illustrators, writers, publishers, book enthusiasts from various parts of the globe to slowly start trickling into The Arts House at the Old Parliament where the festival is being held.
I am fairly relieved that I would be doing my presentations tomorrow, the first day of the Festival. This would mean that I would have more time to enjoy the rest of the festivities during the remaining days, to mingle and hopefully get to know more people. If you are dropping by and wish to say hello, here is my schedule.

Myra – The program for the 2012 AFCC is simply amazing! How I wish I was there to partake, meet old friends and make new ones. Thank you for blogging (and thank your husband for the photos). If I can’t be there at least I can get a feel for it all via your fabulous blog posts! Hope to be there in 2013!
