Our Speak Solid Singlish miniseries continues with "Siao" - the Hokkien word for crazy. In Singlish, it's flexible - it can be a good kind of crazy, and it can be out-and-out bonkers mad! My Singlish guest voice is the brilliant voice talent Sebastian Sim, & this episode was written by Jedidiah Huang. We've had a lot of really positive feedback, so Jedidiah is hard at work on new episodes for you - huat ah!

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...
