Review: 晚安你好 (Wan An Ni Hao) – The Late Night Show with Xiao Ming by Impromptu Meetings

The pains of learning Chinese as a modern day banana. Chinese has never been our strong suit at school, constantly scolded by teachers at school for bad grades, and barely making it past the compulsory Higher Chinese O Levels. So you can imagine why a show like 晚安你好 (Wan An Ni Hao) – The Late Night Show with Xiao Ming, about the struggles of learning … Continue reading Review: 晚安你好 (Wan An Ni Hao) – The Late Night Show with Xiao Ming by Impromptu Meetings

Loosely speaking, Lemonade Sky follows a boy and his faithful friends as he sets out … Continue reading ★★★★☆ Book Review: Lemonade Sky by J.H. Low

★★★☆☆ Book Review: Suka-Suka the Cement Truck by Ng Swee San and Han Qingping

A colourful lesson on being responsible and picking up after yourself.  The sheer number of cars is probably one of the biggest contributors towards global warming and climate change today. But perhaps that’s precisely why they make for the best characters to explain the importance of being responsible for one’s actions, and being conscientious towards others. That’s the big lesson that Suka-Suka the Cement Truck … Continue reading ★★★☆☆ Book Review: Suka-Suka the Cement Truck by Ng Swee San and Han Qingping

★★★★☆ Review: Pandan by Rupa co.lab

Examining the hard truths that hurt most. There are always two sides to every person – the public self we present to the world, and the private one we keep to ourselves. And for many of us, these secret selves could spell disaster if they became known, from being shunned by society, to crushing entire careers. But really, why is it that we’re so quick … Continue reading ★★★★☆ Review: Pandan by Rupa co.lab

Review: XITY by RAW Moves

A closer look at the relationship we share with the city we live in. Amidst our bustling lives in a metropolitan city, perhaps we spend far too little time thinking about our relationship with it. Dancer Matthew Goh however, has taken inspiration from this idea, not only as reflection, but as an entire project where he transforms our responses to our urban environment into movement. … Continue reading Review: XITY by RAW Moves
