Immerse yourself in a showcase of award-winning orchids at the Singapore Orchid Show. Co-organised with the Orchid Society of South East Asia (OSSEA). This amazing showcase gathers a diverse collection of warm- and cool-climate orchids from around the world at Flower Dome, at Gardens by the Bay.
Finally watched this excellent touching Teochew movie, Dear You. As a Teochew (潮州揭阳和潮阳), I chose the original Teochew movie and it made me feel at home as I normally converse a mixture of Teochew and Mandarin at home. My late great-grandmother and grandparents conversed to me in Teochew.
This is definitely a great production. A touching story of how Teochews helped fellow Teochews in a foreign land. It reminds me of my late grandfathers who left China in the 1940s when they were young. They also sent money and letters to their families in China and I couldn't' help but got teary whenever I think of their suffering. The pain of separation from their families back home and they worked so hard to support their big families in Singapore too.
This is an amazing movie. Faster go and watch. Teochew Nan Gaginan.
I finally visited Singapore Garden Festival at Gardens by the Bay yesterday! Wow, there are so many impressive exhibition! I arrived at Gardens by the Bay at around 10 am plus in the morning and left at about 8.45 pm. I didn't see Planters Market as it was too late.
Jointly organised by Singapore National Parks and Gardens by the Bay, I think they have done a great job in showcasing the best tropical landscape design and horticulture and floral display to the world in this 10th edition of the Singapore Garden Festival.
You can still catch Singapore Gardens Festival at Singapore by the Bay till 12 July 2026, this coming Sunday.

If not for the recent Molly Tea and LV copyright case in China, I didn’t know the logo from LV is the same as the decoration (different orientation) in a Buddhism rock wall craving (大足石刻 )in China built during the Tang dynasty about 1400 years ago.
