And so since it’s Ramadhan, I decided to have a looksee at Geylang Serai before Hari Raya or to some of you, Eid Mubarak. Diff languages, same thing. Anywho, here we go!
Director’s cut of the story of Yeh Chi Wei
Last Saturday, which was pretty much the fourth of September had me going to the Singapore Arts Museum in the evening. This is the same day of what you’ll see in the next episode of SDS, heh heh. I was invited to this special session by@brainopera about Yeh Chi Wei which was going to be talk/tour by his granddaughter, Jacey Yeh! The tour is technically called “The (other) story of Yeh Chi Wei” but to me it’s like a director’s cut version of his story!
LE GASP indeed!
By the way, the exhibition is on until 12 September. ALSO, I read that she’ll be doing a tour on the 11th at around 5pm. Contact the museum prior to that or something. EDIT: Email Ms. Masitah Ismail (Education Officer) at masitah_ismail@nhb.gov.sg for the tour!
SDS 2.9 – Game On!
One of the things in the list of things to do in the SDS list was to go to a board game cafe. It’s pretty much everywhere or at least, they’re at accessible parts in town and in some malls. You can choose from De Coder’s Cafe, Pitstop Cafe, Settlers Cafe or The Mind Cafe. I don’t know if there’s any more but those are popular.
We settled for The Mind Cafe at Boat Quay since Jo wanted to play Adversity. As you can see, we were actually early since the place opened at noon. Nonetheless, other people were waiting too, heh.
It’s GAME TIME!

Ashes to Ashes: Part 2
And here we go! The next bit in the story. To see the previous parts, look on the left! I put a new category just for this story here since I know it’ll be quite long.
Ashes to Ashes
Part 2
By Seriously Sarah/ sarah coldheart
The sun streamed through the glass windows of a cozy bedroom decked in cream and light blue. There, in the middle of the heavy set wooden bed lay a dark blue fleecy lump. An elderly goblin female poked it with a metal ladle.
“Mistress Ashlinn, get up. It is mid day,” she said.
With a groan, the redhead peeked out of her seclusion. She glared at the goblin that was clad in a simple brown dress with an apron tied around her waist and a muffin hat covering her dark green hair.
“Nessie, leave me be. I’m in mourning,” mumbled Ashlinn before retreated once more beneath the covers.
SDS 2.7 – Sew My Name
Considering this episode is supposed to be a laid back activity of craft work, we stumbled upon some science for kids exhibition at the National Library. Yeah, we’re doing craftwork and got hit by science.
Being Faceless: A Tutorial
Remember that picture from my episode on Free Comic Book Day? Yeah well, I did say that pic was a bit photoshoped to make it look better but it didn’t really need that much photoshop in the first place anyway.
So let’s show you how to be as faceless or how to make a faceless mask like how Renee Montoya is as The Question!
SDS 2.6 – The Lion Sleeps Tonight
Ah the Singapore zoo. We went there just the weekend before National Day and a very hot and sunny weekend it was.
