Preview: 6:58 by The Rooftop Collective

Look closer, think deeper. Feel. What is the morning? 06:58 is a new devised piece by The Rooftop Collective about the seemingly banal daily morning routine (hence the name), and an exploration and experiment to find out how different art forms can coalesce in interesting and organic ways to re-present the mundane nature of life. This is the Rooftop Collective’s first piece, and the performance will … Continue reading Preview: 6:58 by The Rooftop Collective

Asia’s First Spongebob Run!

On Saturday, the first ever Spongebob Run was held in Asia! Considering it was held on Sentosa, over at Siloso Beach, we were all prepared to pay the entry fee to get onto the island. When we headed up to the monorail though, we were pleasantly surprised to see a designated priority line for runners to queue up and get onto the monorail for free. … Continue reading Asia’s First Spongebob Run!

Review: Rosnah by The Necessary Stage [5/8/16]

Rosnah is one of those classic Necessary Stage plays that hasn’t been onstage in a while. This year’s edition, presented as part of the Esplanade’s annual Pesta Raya Malay Festival of Arts, is being performed for the first time in Malay since first being staged at Tampines Regional Library in 1995. Siti K is certainly the most prolific and well known Malay theatre actress right now, … Continue reading Review: Rosnah by The Necessary Stage [5/8/16]

Review: Orpheus In The Underworld by New Opera Singapore [29/7/16]

Opera has always been a bit of a divisive art form for me. Too often, I see it as something less accessible, and reserved for the most elite of audiences. New Opera Singapore has proved me wrong with this production of Orpheus In The Underworld, and I’m glad I got the chance to catch it. New Opera Singapore celebrated its 5th anniversary with another stellar … Continue reading Review: Orpheus In The Underworld by New Opera Singapore [29/7/16]

Review: International Friendship Day by The Necessary Stage [27/7/16]

The Necessary Stage has always been a mainstay of Singapore’s theatre scene, covering all kinds of topics from political pieces to collaborations with overseas theatre companies, making for some very interesting pieces. But what they also do regularly is community type theatre, often written with a very specific message in mind that addresses pertinent issues in society, such as When The Bough Breaks and post-natal depression. This … Continue reading Review: International Friendship Day by The Necessary Stage [27/7/16]

SFF 2016: Hawker Spotlight 2016 @ Lagoon Food Village

Over here at BCM Boy, we’re pretty familiar with East Coast Park, since we live so close and venture there for a run or just a day at the beach every once in a while. That’s why we were so excited when we found out about City Gas’ initiative to highlight some of their favourite stalls from Lagoon, and headed down on Sunday afternoon. Hosted … Continue reading SFF 2016: Hawker Spotlight 2016 @ Lagoon Food Village

Food Hunting: Shrimp Mama @ East Coast Lagoon

The other day, we decided to get some food at one of our favourite hawker centres: East Coast Lagoon Food Village. We found comfort in Shrimp Mama (#01-47), a new stall that opened just shy of two months that specialises in seafood with a twist – using Indian spices to flavour them. Going at just $8.90 for a small portion, it’s a steal compared to the … Continue reading Food Hunting: Shrimp Mama @ East Coast Lagoon
