Cady and Josh visit Singapore. Star Wars characters escort them

Ok, I really wanted to finish work early but couldn't. Had to go attend a talk by NASA astronaut Cady Coleman on Woodlands Library and was reluctant at first. Well, actually it turned out to be really interesting.
Strangely enough, it was Cady's husband glass blower Josh Simpson that I found more interesting. He wanted to be glass blower at age 20, so he spent his life savings of US $306 to rent a studio for a couple of months! He was so poor that he lived in a tepee, and his food was chick peas for quite a few years.
Anyway I'm already writing about Josh and Cady for the New Paper so I really don't want to write anymore about them. It's tiring work writing. I found a nice blog about them (this librarian had been sitting behind me) and he gave a pretty good account about the event me thinks.

Some members of Fan Force who were dressed as Star Wars (Fan Force is Singapore's official Star Wars fan club. Acknowledged by George Lucas himself.)
