On the up: KMP
On the down: Singapore

[Sorry for the absence. It's been a non stop month which has meant no time for writing *boooooo* Here's a madlysuddenly catch-up session]

I am STILL trying to get over how much fun the book fair in Singapore was.

Okay wait, no. The book fair itself was pretty bloody boring if only because Singaporeans are pretty bloody boring, but KMP had a riot, as we always do!!! Heck, there is no other way you'd get me to stay in Singapore for almost 2 weeks at a time.

We absolutely had the best booth. It was so beautiful, even the Buddhas approved and stopped by to keep us company.

It was fun just to see everyone bustling about the booth and having people walk in and out (and challenge us with their funny questions). Nothing feels quite as happy as having a busy booth.

Rinpoche's YouTube videos have already hit a 100,000 mark within just 6 months. He gets an absurd number of hits that go well into the thousands on website every month and we have HEAPS of emails from people all over the world wanting to come visit KL and Kechara (Pak Lah should SO give us a cut for bringing people into the country!) And our books are right up there next to Vickie MacKenzie's Tenzin Palmo book on the shelves of Singapore's Borders. Wheeeeeeeee! Famous Amos!

With all The Many Facets of a Wisdom Diamond, how can we go anywhere but up!!! Hot damn Joy and Justin made a rocking poster - they are so damn crever with their design (Joy, you SO SO SO SOOOOOOOOOOO have to design EVERYTHING for KMP forever and ever and ever. pleeeeeeeeease) ---->

Anyways, it was all fun fun fun right up until the last day when we finally took everything down and kissed Suntec City good bye. It was totally exhausting (I will never laugh at or ever be mean to exhibitors ever again, I promise) but rewarding and happy. Next up - the London Book Fair?!

Now we're back to the normal doldrums - it's time to put noses to the grindstone and churn out lots more volumes for next year. Joe's already got a big list of work cut out for a Dolly - absolutely no rest for the weary?

The most perverse thing is that I'm actually looking forward to it.
More work?
And lazy me is happy about it?
How is that even possible?!!!!!!!!!
