To herald the new and bid farewell to the old, I’ve drawn up a list of artsy people based in and/or from Singapore, singling them out for being interesting, independent and (thus far) a little unrecognised.

It’s a personal response to the front-page article of Straits Times Life! at the end of last year (“FEEL THE POWER”, Thursday, 4 December 2008).

I like it because it presents an alternative, which is what I think we need more of.

Just discovered by way of Agagooga’s and Mathia Lee’s blogs that Sinema Old School is screening a film on National Service called The Olive Depression. Would very much like to go watch it but the Sun screening is obviously over and I’ve already promised a friend that I’ll go for her birthday party on Wed evening. But if anyone manages to catch the film, let me know how it is.
