Get hangry at Art Commune Gallery
“Daddy, why am I always hungry?” Pangzi asked straight after lunch. “Obviously you’re still a growing baby,” I said triumphantly, because he had just given me an excuse to visit the Art Commune Gallery. Before he could react, he found himself on the way to Carlton Hotel where the gallery was located. “Are we here …
Abuse case at Opera Gallery
“Daddy, when can we go singing again? This partial lockdown is taking way too long,” Pangzi said. That’s my cue to visit Opera Gallery. “We can’t go karaoke, but I can take you to the opera,” I lied. “You mean we can fly to Sydney now?” Pangzi asked expectantly. “Not that far. We go Ion.” …
Far East Plaza turns arty
When the travel bug hit, I wanted to take Pangzi to the unlikeliest of places to cure his wanderlust: Far East Plaza. “Why Far East Plaza? I don’t want to go shopping!” he protested. “So you haven’t heard. Far East Plaza is soon to be a shopping mall no more,” I said. Kind of sad. I grew …
Christmas comes early to Public Art Space
When Pangzi asked to see the Christmas lighting in town, I sensed my chance to visit the Pan Pacific Singapore Public Art Space. “We’re going to see the Cityscapes, Ancient and Present exhibition at the Public Art Space. It’s ongoing till next Jan,” I declared. “Is it in Orchard?” Pangzi quizzed. “It’s at Marina Square, …
Our own summit at The Art Space
“Daddy, can I go Orchard Road?” Pangzi suddenly asked. “No, we just went shopping,” I said. “Then can I go Sentosa?” he asked again. Something was not right. “Thought I said no more theme parks for you. Now what’s going on?” I snapped. “Daddy, I just want to see my hero the North Korea leader.” …
Who keeps the angpow money?
“Daddy, what are we going to do with my angpow money?” Pangzi asked after collecting all the red packets from relatives and friends during Chinese New Year. “First of all, it’s my angpow money, not yours,” I corrected him. “FYI, I’m going to spend it at Johor Premium Outlets, but that’s none of your business.” …
Bowling along Orchard Road on Pedestrian Night?
Blessed with great genes, Pangzi picks up certain sports pretty fast. His first attempt at bowling was during the inaugural Pedestrian Night, when he knocked down quite a number of people as he barged through Orchard Road. “Daddy, why no cars?” he asked when we first arrived, finding himself standing on tar. “Because this is …
K+ gives new meaning to Orchard Road
Ion Art is great, but with K+, there’s a new kid in town to rival the incumbent for the attention of art buffs like Pangzi. Orchard Road suddenly has more to offer than just streets of shopping. “Art gallery again?” Pangzi protested. “This time we’re going Orchard Road, not just anywhere,” I said in defence. …
When fever is Ion Sky high
It went up to 39.8 degree Celsius at one point. Nothing I did managed to bring the fever down. Pangzi had already drunk a whole bottle of expired paracetamol, and a trip in the middle of the night to KK didn’t help as well. As a last resort, I decided to bring him to the …
Dreaming of riches at Ion Art
An email message from the school warned that Pangzi had to contribute a piece of artwork for an exhibition to celebrate Children’s Day. “Parents are encouraged to produce the artwork together with their children to foster closer bonding,” the principal signed off cheerfully. The hell I will. My idea of real bonding involves ropes and cuffs. …
