Review: Apprentice dir. Boo Junfeng

Boo Junfeng’s name has been making the rounds in Singapore, most recently for directing that advert featuring a long distance relationship made possible through Singtel. It’s no surprise; after all, he’s one of the nation’s best, following his sensitive coming of age film debut Sandcastle in 2010. In his latest film, which premiered at the Cannes Festival this year, we follow Aiman (Firdaus Rahman), a young Malay man … Continue reading Review: Apprentice dir. Boo Junfeng

Les Misérables (28/6/16)

Since catching it on the West End and Broadway, I dreamed a dream that one day, I’d be watching Les Misérables on our very own shores, like my parents did 20 years back. Now, that day has come and we were more than excited to get a chance to catch it at last. Les Misérables is eternally on the London stage for good reason – … Continue reading Les Misérables (28/6/16)

Hotel by W!ld Rice [2/7/16]

Hotels are strange places. They’re transitory, temporal spaces for people to live, many of which happen to be foreigners in a new country. People come and go, and leave traces of the past behind the same rooms that get cleaned up each day, in an almost spectral manner. Each room contains a rich history. W!ld Rice’s epic Hotel traces the hundred year history of a … Continue reading Hotel by W!ld Rice [2/7/16]

REVIEW: Gentle Bones 10/6/16

Gentle Bones, aka Joel Tan is just 22 years old, and he’s already managed to have two sold out shows at the Esplanade (when Les Miserables is playing next door!) It’s impressive, to say the least, how many fans he’s garnered over the past 4 years he’s been active since he first released his hit single ‘Until We Die’. Since that first song, he’s been … Continue reading REVIEW: Gentle Bones 10/6/16

REVIEW: Ghost Writer by The Necessary Stage [9/6/16]

    Following the success of Manifesto, the Necessary Stage returns to present Ghost Writer, a multimedia performance that seamlessly combines dance, theatre, music and videography to create a rich visual and sensual experience. Ghost Writer takes inspiration from Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore, drawing on both his work and life. It’s difficult to sum up what exactly Ghost Writer is about, considering its nature as a piece of almost abstract physical theatre. Ghost … Continue reading REVIEW: Ghost Writer by The Necessary Stage [9/6/16]

An Insight to Churn Creamery

Churn Creamery 4th June 2016 Churn has been open for about 9 months now, and this is the first time we decided to drop by. Some photos of their ‘puffones’ have been floating around the Internet, and we’re suckers for interesting revolutions in dessert (or just suckers for dessert in general) Considering that Tanjong Pagar is now home to countless bingsu places, it’s nice to … Continue reading An Insight to Churn Creamery
