My first mini stall at EOY

-
This was my first time putting up my own artwork for sale!

I was excited but my first thought was "DAMN HOT!" I didn't know that Marina Barrage is a completely open space… ...

 I admire this guy for putting up with the heat!

…and this furry mascot...

Business was very slow moving from 10-1pm. Fans and friends commented on my Facebook page that they couldn't find me… Probably because of this Pokemon booth queue blocking me and Daiyaku's booth… I was amazed that people still play Pokemon now :-/ The crowd for EOY was mainly elementary to high school kids, and of course, otakus and cosplayers.

The organisers finally relocated Pokemon registration counter to another space so I got to take over their table and more wind could blow to our area XD

My online artist friend whom I had known for over 13 years came down to support as well. He is a hardcore Jojo fan :P

 Big open space =…. HOT!

 …HOT!!!

So I finally wrapped up at 6pm, tired but remembered to visit Tomodachi booth because one of their artists was actually my first customer for the day! He even gave me their 2014 calendar, so cute!

Snares, an artist from "A Good Citizen" also gave me his super kawaii Merlion and Tiger sushi postcard! Andy from Ink Fusion Studio also gave me his creative Singapore transportation+transformer postcard set and flyer. My nephew who loves cars, buses and mrt was delighted when he saw the cards ;)
------------------
Finally, I would like to thank my fans and friends for braving the heat to come down to specially support me and purchase my artwork! I am very thankful and had a great time talking to everyone! You all gave me energy not to give up Evacomics and find a way to make it even better and more popular. Also special thanks to Clifford who just came back to Singapore and bought 4 postcard sets and 2 calendars from me (you are my biggest customer XD). Of course, this wouldn't have been possible without Daiyuku's artists', Jamie and Ophelia, generosity in letting me share their booth ^^

For everyone else who missed it, I will be selling online after I finish coding the shopping cart. Please stay tune on my Facebook Page, blog and Google+ for the announcement and link. Thank you very much and have a good rest! :D

Boiled coke and ginger lemon for cough

-

This post has nothing to do with Japan, except that I have the tendency to fall sick during long Japanese holidays like year end and golden week. So with weak Japanese medicine not working, and even with kiwis and lemon honey drink all failing, I resorted to my friend's advice: coke and ginger . It sounded unusual so I googled and found the recipe. Amazingly, many people swear that it works wonder to cure their coughs and sore throats, so I decided to try out of desperation because I had already been coughing for four days and four nights. Preparation: Put a can of coke (around 350ml) and sliced ginger into a pot and bring to boil, simmer for 10 mins. You can either add lemon when it was simmering or squeezed lemon juice after you pour into your mug. *I couldn't get old ginger from my Japanese supermarket so I used young ginger that was not so spicy. Verdict: I couldn't believe it, but it tasted rather good! Even my friend who disliked ginger said this remedy taste...
