Tropical City State Weekend Sep 3-5

Dear reader,

The weekend greets us with open arms. If you haven’t got barristas in company, a picnic lawn with family awaits. Amidst the green, let’s spend some time in silence reflecting on the disasters of climate change today in crossword.

With freedom.

Sincerely,
Joyce Woo

Music: enjoy, make and chart. To treat the eyes, see paper on a screen (paperless) tonight.

Arts Infusion

Spend the first part of the Sunday afternoon chilling drinks and packing sandwiches into a picnic basket, then get set to lay on a lawn and watch a line-up of performances which opens with the Bedok View Secondary Angklung Ensemble in their glory of a previous win at the 2007 Heritage & Harmony Music & Dance Competition. Gamma:rays plays Gamelan, musically-gifted cousins Krsna, Govin, Dexter, Denise & Sheryl churns out Western Indochine tunes and the Orkestar Trio entertains with nusantara (Malay Archipelago) music. Fringe activities for the kids start an hour prior.

Sunday, 5pm to 6.30pm (fringe activities start an hour prior), Pasir Ris Park, D’Lawn, next to Carpark E

TV: All Things Paper

Yesterday you watched Uganda, today you may not see Rwanda with its paper refugee shelters designed by Shigeru Ban, but get to see smaller structures made from paper. Paper is not just something for kids to play art and craft with or for Christmas pop-up cards, it is really a construction material. Tibetans and Japanese have always used paper to build their houses. Marvel at how flatness of paper transforms into three dimensions in tonight’s programme.
