Last week (approximately) marked the 20th year I’ve lived in Bishan. I’ve reflected about the changes I’ve seen since I moved to Bishan at yesterday.sg. If there’s something you want to share about your Bishan experience, please leave comment on the post. Better yet, if you have a blog, write about your memories!
Speaking of yesterday.sg, regular contributors Chun See and Ivan will be conducting an introduction to blogging for senior citizens:
Blogging for Senior Citizens
Date/Time : Saturday, 25 November 2006, 3.00 pm to 4.30 pm
Venue : Queenstown Community Library – Programme Zone
Subject : Education & Learning (English)
Admission : Free admission
Chun See runs Good Morning Yesterday, an excellent blog – always an informative and entertaining read – about his memories of Singapore. Ivan a.k.a. The Rambling Librarian is Chun See’s… err… sidekick for this programme. If you think librarians are drab and dull, read his blog. I guarantee you’ll want to get to know more librarians. (Sorry girls, this one is happily married.)
Just to prove a point which they will make during the session about the wonderful discoverability of blogs and their ability to bring people with common interests together, Ivan points out how a Dutch library blog has waxed lyrical about Chun See’s Good Morning Yesterday and that it’s inspired the Dutch blogger to start doing the same.

Please lah… you are not drab and dull at all.

/ Thursday, 23 November 2006Drab and dull? If anyting, Ivan has overturned the stereotype of librarians (if there’s such a thing). He can blog, compose music, paint, podcast, write stories …. the list goes on. And pubic spirited some more.
