Looking for your next IG-worthy selfie location? A

Looking for your next IG-worthy selfie location? A new larger-than-life installation ‘Remember your dreams’, by French artist and architect Cyril Lancelin, is in town until Saturday 29th Jan only - so hurry! ⁠
This immersive work is over 7 metres high and 12 metres wide and is composed of air-filled elements to create a surreal environment that invites visitors to step out of their everyday reality and remember their dreams. (And no, the kids can't bounce on it, soz!)⁠
Commissioned by Porsche under its new art initiative, “The Art of Dreams” the artwork was first shown in Paris in October 2021, and Singapore is its first stop in Asia.⁠
Link in our bio for deets plus other weekend ideas!⁠

What's the market rate for ang baos this year? It's always a controversial topic around the CNY period, but we're of the belief that you should only give what you’re comfortable with ♥️ It's a Chinese custom to hand them out during Chinese New Year, and is a time when kids can save money for something they truly want, plus for adults to bestow luck, happiness and good fortune onto others. So how much are YOU putting in those ang baos this year? PS. we don't have all the answers! The rates above are merely a guide with the general hierarchy of who should receive the highest amounts. We understand that every family’s financial situation is different, so as always, give what you can! More on this in our link in bio.

"As a teacher, I encountered many 13-year-olds who were burnt out. I’d ask them to write about a fun experience over the holidays or a prank they had played, and they’d tell me, “Ma’am, we had no childhood. We just had tuition.” I also encountered many students on the brink of tertiary education who had no idea of what they were genuinely interested to pursue, and not even much of a personality or sense of self. Our current model of education comes from the Industrial Revolution, and it works like an assembly line, so we should not be surprised if it's churning out robots. Standardised testing has its uses, but they are limited and parents shouldn’t set too much store by the PSLE. It's up to us to change the culture and properly mentor our children to equip them with real skills and values they will need in future."⁠

This Month’s That Mama is @maureenyeosuiyin, a mother of two and the author behind children's books ‘The Great Singapore Poo Sale and Other Beastly Business’ and ‘Make Animals Great Again and Other Creature Campaigns’, which make fun bedtime reading! In her past role as a teacher, she became aghast at her students not realising about their own country’s biodiversity so she set out to write ‘The Great Singapore Poo Sale and Other Beastly Business’ featuring 100% Singapore wildlife!
