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 coming to the Promontory at Marina Bay tomorrow! This air-filled immersive work is over 7 metres high and 12 metres wide and invites us to step out of our everyday reality and remember our dreams. 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. ⁠

Has your child's best friend moved away? As expats

Has your child's best friend moved away? As expats it is inevitable that our children’s friends will come and go. That doesn't make it any easier when you're left behind missing that buddy though. ‘The Stayers;’ the ones who are left behind, are somewhat under recognised. When the friend leaves, they will leave a big gap in your child’s life and the idea of a long-distance friendship can seem scary and difficult to adjust to. In our article (link in bio) a school counselor shares tips on how to help your kids cope with friends leaving Singapore.⁠
