Chinese New Year is the biggest holiday in Singapore, and a major theme is prosperity. It ranges from giving hong bao (红包), red packets with cash, booking a lion dance troupe or going for the mega jackpot at the national lottery. To mark the Year of the Snake, I'm going to track down a troupe and record a full performance. Will I manage to find one during the 15 days of celebration?

Singapore is a regional travel hub, & one of most popular routes is between Singapore & Hong Kong, two cities joined by a common past as part of the British Empire, now both leading Asian destinations. I brought along my portable recorder and started recording from the moment I passed security at the gate for SQ822 to Hong Kong

Traditionally, December is the wettest month of the year, but 2025's January is proving to be very different with a month's worth of rainfall in a day (Jan 10th) and non-stop rain thereafter. The continuous rain is good for watering plants and filling reservoirs, but the monsoon rains are really good for helping you destress and nod off to dreamland. 

This episode is an hour of blissful rain recorded in a quiet residential are...

I'm striking up conversations with people I meet & asking them questions about Singapore. 

In this episode, I talk to someone who loves the feeling of coming home, and an international student studying linguistics who loves feeling local because he's learnt when to say "lah" and when to say "leh"

I'm striking up conversations with strangers & asking them questions about Singapore. 

This time, I talk to a code-switcher about how Singaporeans can glide effortlessly between English and Singlish, and then drop by Joo Chiat to hang out with a non-coffee drinking barista who sells artisanal coffee from a hole she made in her kitchen wall to customers who walk the lane behind her house

The Night Safari in Mandai is celebrating its 30th anniversary, and the big draw has always been to see animals at night; lions, elephants, rhinos - the bigger, the better, you might think when it comes to entertainment value. And yes, when the lions roar, it's a sound that inspires awe and terror at the same time. But on my trip, the best sound I captured were Bubble and Squeak, two playful otters swimming and scampering around th...

As Singapore celebrates its 59th Birthday on Friday August 9th, I'm out and about again asking strangers questions about Singapore. In this episode, I'm at not one, but TWO cafes - Nylon Coffee at Everton Park and the Coffee Bar at Chye Seng Huat Hardware, the Art Deco gem on Tyrwhitt Road

I'm walking up to strangers & asking them questions about Singapore.

I'm still in Everton Park, and 2 more coffee lovers took the challenge to answer "What's the Most Singaporean Thing About You?" For their time, they got a delicious cup of mocha from Nylon Coffee

I decided to get curious and approach strangers to ask them questions about Singapore.

For the first ep, I'm in Everton Park, one of the oldest residential estates in Singapore, and barter a fantastic coffee from Nylon Coffee in exchange for strangers answering, "What's the Most Singaporean Thing About You?

Everywhere you go in Singapore, you hear them. The distinctive rhythm initially holds steady, then ramps up until it blurs into a continuous note that can cause hearing loss if enough of them are around. They are... cicadas.

22km from the city centre, on a quiet hill, lie the remains for over 4,400 who died in the line of duty during World War II. The Singapore Memorial bears the names of 24,346 soldiers and airmen killed in SE Asia, who have no known grave. The Kranji War Memorial reminds us that modern and prosperous Singapore owes a debt to those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

It's the bird that everyone hates, because of it's annoying call: the Asian Koel starts calling for a mate from as early as 5am, and it's wail has been described as u-wu / oo-oh / ooh-whoo: whichever way you spell it, Singaporeans aren't fans, and some 600 call NParks to complain every year. But did you know that the Asian Koel does do one thing that we should love it for?
