Okay, now where was I? Ah, yes. Singapore! Usually, it only takes two things to make me a very happy camper in Singapore:
and…
On this trip, I was lucky enough to add a third. Thanks to Prologue Book Store and the help of the Philippine Consulate, I now have another wonderful experience to remember Singapore by. Best of all, it was calorie-free. But don’t take my word for it, come and see for yourself! 
Thank you to Ms. Pimpin of Prologue for hosting the book signing!
While all book events are fun, the best part is always the journey back home. The butterflies in my stomach are gone and all that’s left are the memories of the smiles of the people I’ve met and the laughter still singing in my ears. Come. Walk with me and let’s remember all of this together.
Thank you, Singapore and thank YOU for sharing this adventure with me -
but don’t unpack your bags just yet. Next stop is the West Coast!
The food pictures made me hungry
You are indeed conquering the world. Wishing you more success and happiness.
Wait until you see the food pics on my next post…
ah, darn Singapore, it got to enjoy the company and the visit of such a lovely lady
San Francisco! I swear, Sam, you’ll cover the whole planet the way you started
Hope everyone at home is fine, I hear you have terrible storms in Manila
Thanks, my friend! I survived the storms
Just got back from US trip 
How fun! I’ll be waiting for your next trip to the East Coast
Ahhh, East Coast in the fall… I wish I were there!
Those pictures of Singapore are beautiful.
I saw your book in Barnes & Noble the other day and smiled. Really happy for all your success.
Watch out west coast!
Thank you so much!
It was great meeting you in SG.. see you around twitterverse
I’m sure the WeSt Coast will be a fun time! XOXO
It was great to meet you too! Thanks for coming!
Oh goodness, the Chicken Rice had my mouth watering. Must recreate at home.
I love Singapore. The pictures of your walk home were lovely. I especially liked the one of you walking with your daughter.
Good luck on the West Coast!
What’s better than Chicken Rice, right?? YUM!
How fun and what a great turn out! Congrats. The good news just keeps rolling in.
I finished your novel by the way. What an entertaining read!
Thrilled you enjoyed the book! Thank you!
WHAT?! Carson?!?
First – why does it have to be on a Saturday when I have to work and rehearse?
Second – why CARSON?!? BLAAAAAAAAAAAH How long will you be in L.A.? We need to make Vromans in Pasadena host you so I can finally meet you in person and have you sign my beautiful ARC edition.
Sorry I missed you in LA!
congratulations on all your success. the food looks amazingly good.
Thanks, Ed!
I love all your photos! You’re such a superstar.
Wish you were coming to Seattle!
You should come to Manila, girl!
Wow, looks like you enjoyed more busy, crazy success! Well done. And that chili crab looks mighty fine.
Thanks! (The trip would have been worth it for the crab alone!
)
That chili crab looks amazing, and the pictures of Singapore are gorgeous!
Thanks for sharing the adventure with me!
Hrmph! Of course, you’d be in SF while I’m in the middle of moving and get there.
Bah!
Aww, shucks!
The pics are amazing!! So glad you’re enjoying your book signings. Wish you all the best!!
Thanks, Dafeenah! The one complaint I have though, is that all these events keep me away from the blogosphere
Kudos on your SG gig.
And while you’re on your way to West Coast, I was in the Bay Area a couple of weeks ago. Anyway, I’ll tell my friend to be at your event.
Thanks!
Was your friend able to make it?
It sounds as if they are keeping you busy with your book signings! If you’re ever in my neck of the woods, I would jump on the chance to meet you in person.
Thanks! Fingers and toes crossed! Would love to finally “meet” you!
Look at you! Fantastic. I bought your book last week and it’s on my TBR stack. I’ll let you know when I finish! :0)
Thank you! I hope you enjoy it
Congratulations!
Best wishes!
Have you or your publishing house sent complimentary copies of your book to dearauthor.com for review?
If not, I suggest you do.
By the way, I love your book.
Thank you so much!
I’ll ask my publicist about dearauthor. Thanks for the tip!
