Playground bully at Great World City
“Daddy, why are we at Great World City?” Pangzi asked impatiently. “Exam’s over and we should be touring the greater world now.” “The greater world is still fighting the pandemic,” I replied confidently with my prepared answer against this FAQ.

NEWater Visitor Centre shows drinking urine is fine
“Daddy, can you remind me why we’re visiting the urine museum?” Pangzi asked on the way to NEWater Visitor Centre in Changi.

Spoil sport at Northshore Plaza
“What do you wanna be when you…” Before I could finish, Pangzi quickly interjected, “Thought we’ve gone through that already?

Humanistic Youth Centre, a part of growing up

KidsSTOP, another cosplay playground
I read that the famous make-believe playground in Sentosa had permanently shut down, but didn’t count on the readymade substitute in KidsSTOP. “Daddy, when can I cosplay again?” Pangzi asked expectantly. “Never? The place that starts with K is no more, in case you don’t know,” I said. “No, KidsSTOP is very much alive!” “Kids what?” …
Dover Street is not a street
Pangzi was so used to staying home that when I suggested visiting Dover Street after the lockdown was lifted, he fought against it. “Where do you want to make me go?” he asked suspiciously. “Dover,” I said, careful to give anything away. Shopping was top of my list, not his. “Dover where? Is there a …
Jewel Canopy Park at its emptiest
Virus, go where? I thought this was the best time to stay home, but we ended up at the Jewel Canopy Park, thanks to Pangzi. “Daddy, you know they cancelled all our weekend activities in school, right?” “That’s very smart of them.” And perfect for me. Now I could catch up with my drama serials. “You know …
Rats go Future Together
“Why is the rat the cleverest animal in the Chinese zodiac?” Pangzi wondered aloud. “I thought you’d never ask,” I said. “You can find the answer at Future Together.” “What’s Future Together?” “It’s an art exhibition at Gardens by the Bay, ongoing from now till mid March,” I explained. “But has Future Together anything to do with the …
