 eManiax - Singapore's first local gaming magazine now on sale

Click logo to start tour

Mdm Kang's Kitchen Chilli Crab

  eManiax - now on sale at leading bookstores - is Singapore's first and only local gaming magazine. The first issue packs 77 pages of the latest in gaming news as well as coverage of the local gaming community. The magazine's usual price is S$6.00, but this first issue comes to you at a promotional price of S$5.30.

  From the start, I have to warn all of you that non-standard English or "broken English" (a term which many of us here like to use) is liberally and intentionally used all over the magazine. Yes! it's everywhere - except the editorial. The magazine is peppered with phrases, such as ""It's a magazine not only belongs to Singapore" - YUCKS! And there's more - "Feel free to e-mail uncle Fook for advise. Because uncle Fook have the knowledge..." 

  Anyway, gamers do not buy the magazine to stay in touch with the English language. What they want is the latest information and reviews on the latest popular online games. This they get, as well as page after page of screen shots - in colour - of the games, such as Kohan Immortal Sovereigns, Mech Commander 2, Tribes 2 and Black and White.

  If you are lost after reading this - well, you are not alone. I didn't quite understand what was in the magazine, But then, I am not a gamer! However, I do say the pictures are terrific. 

  There's also a section called "Tips & Cheats" which offer you codes to unlock unlimited lives, invincibility, etc.. on games, such as Delta Force: Land Warrior and Star Wars Episode 1: Battle For Naboo. 

  So if you are a gamer - buy a copy today. For more information, click HERE!

Birdsongs & Other Pieces  - The Music & Lyrics of Marc CHAN Yew Jin
With The Reverie String Quartet - Clement LIM (violin), WONG Yeang Chuan (guitar), Tracy CHIA (alto), Nadia TAN (soprano), Dawn WONG (Alto).
"Birdsongs & Other Pieces" is the debut concert of young Singaporean composer and lyricist Marc CHAN Yew Jin. The title piece, a fusion between the classical art song and musical theatre, is a song cycle that celebrates the most enviable aspect of birds - flight. And coincident with that idea is the idea of freedom. Some of the songs are settings of text by various poets, such as Maya Angelou and Alfian Sa'at. The other songs that complete the cycle have original lyrics by Marc. The evening will also see the premiere of instrumental works written in the past year. These include a suite of three pieces for toy piano, a romance for violin and piano, and four nocturnes for guitar.
4 Aug 2001     7.30pm     SPH Auditorium, Young Musicians' Society, 54 Waterloo Street (beside Singapore Art Museum)
Tickets at S$11 each (concession for students at S$10) available at all TicketCharge outlets. Call (65) 296 2929 or click HERE! For more information about the concert, please e-mail Marc at toypianist@yahoo.com.sg
