Just a kid at Human x Nature exhibition
“Daddy, can I take up Python?” Pangzi surprised me with this question one day. “Why the sudden interest in nature?” I asked back. “No no no. Python as in coding, you know. The kind of stuff that makes you a lot of money,” he tried to explain. “The only python I know terrifies people and …
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 …
Bicentennial Experience gone wow
“Daddy, what’s a Bicentennial Experience?” Pangzi asked. “Oh, it’s an event that’s held once every 200 years in the wilderness of Fork Cunning,” I answered confidently. “I know the meaning of bicentennial, but what’s an experience?” he persisted. Between the two words, who would’ve thought! “Now that’s a tough one,” I said, “but why don’t you …
Run like no tomorrow at the sports museum
It’s about time Pangzi picked up some important survival skills, so I decided to head for the Singapore Sports Museum. “Daddy, why are we going to the sports museum? I want to catch Pokémon,” he asked. “If you can’t run fast, how can you catch anything?” I answered wisely. “Daddy, why do I need to run?” …
Monkeying around Indian Heritage Centre
Pangzi has a new obsession going into the Year of the Fire Monkey. “Daddy, where does Monkey God come from?” he asked. I thought it’s about the right time to take him to the Indian Heritage Centre. It’s Singapore’s latest multi-million dollar museum, not surprisingly located in Little India. If you haven’t heard of it, …
Hear no evil at SOTA Art Gallery
Raining, go where? SOTA Art Gallery popped up just as we were trying to find a place to hide in. “Let’s go in,” I told Pangzi. SOTA Art Gallery looked brand new, and I was elated about my accidental find. “But Daddy, it’s raining,” he protested. Precisely! It turned out SOTA Art Gallery was more …
SG50 Special: Why Singapore is a Little Red Dot
The perfect excuse to visit the Red Dot Design Museum came about when Pangzi asked: “Daddy, why is Singapore called a Little Red Dot?” I think at his age, he is ready to handle the truth now. “To answer that question, you need to know something about the Singapore flag,” I started. “But the flag is a square, …
Preview of Sculpture Carnival: Once Upon A Time
I find the theme to the upcoming Sculpture Carnival very useful when being asked questions that I can’t answer easily. “Daddy, why are we here at Fork Canning?” Pangzi asked. “Oh, because this is where a special Sculpture Carnival is going to take place. Guess what, we’ve been invited. And please, it’s not Fork Canning. …
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. …
Witness to scandal at Air Force Museum
“Daddy, when are we going overseas again?” asked Pangzi one hot day. “When you make enough money, we’ll tour the world, okay?” I said, really looking forward to that day. “I want to fly now!” Sigh. There was only one place to take him without leaving Singapore: the obscure Air Force Museum. The Republic of …
