Join us for ‘Crafts & Birdsongs in the Heartlands’

Discover Singapore’s disappearing traditional crafts and bird singing culture

Join us as we visit the last remaining businesses that still fashion their wares by hand. You’ll begin by diving into the fascinating hobby of bird singing in the HDB heartlands of Ang Mo Kio, home to one of the largest bird singing corners in Singapore.

Be serenaded by these wonderful ‘song birds’ as they train their vocal cords and meet the ‘uncles’ who lovingly care for their feathered companions. You’ll continue with a visit to the sole surviving craftsman who creates traditional Lion Heads from his HDB home.

Discover the skill and artistry behind these colourful creations, which bring Lion Dances to life, and have the opportunity to order one of his beautifully crafted Lion Heads as a collector’s item.

Lastly, you’ll visit a business producing an amazing array of paper offerings made for burning during rituals honouring the gods, ancestors and ghosts.

Exertion: Low exertion (but may be required to get in and out of vehicles)

Date: Saturday 19 September

Time: 9:30am to 12:30pm

Meeting Point: Exit C of Yio Chu Kang MRT station

Join us for a deeply calming and restorative experience with Jolie Michelle Ow, one of Singapore’s Inspiring Women and a wellbeing practitioner with over 20 years’ experience designing mindfulness programmes for schools, educators and communities.

In this special Sound of Medicine session, Jolie weaves together crystal singing bowls, Tibetan bowls, hang drum, chimes, Native flutes and guided mindfulness to gently support and regulate the nervous system.

Through soothing vibrations and carefully guided awareness, you’ll be invited to shift out of stress mode and into a state of rest and balance. Expect a nurturing space to reset, restore and reconnect – leaving you feeling grounded, centred and renewed.

Stay on afterwards for coffee or an early lunch at The Living Café (at your own expense).

Our Anza Outing to The Ice Bath Club was an experience to remember!

After the first round of sauna, an ice-cold bucket drench, a plunge into the ice bath, and a relaxing soak in the mineral jacuzzi, there were a few mixed reactions. By the third round, however, everyone was smiling, feeling refreshed, and surprisingly positive about the whole process.

The sauna and jacuzzi were the clear favourites for most, although one brave lady declared the icy bucket of water her top pick!

A fantastic outing with something for everyone, and we’re hoping tonight brings the best sleep ever for all of us. 🤞❄️🧖‍♀️

DAY TRIP - What a wonderful day out we had at Tempat Senang Spa in Batam.

11 ladies ventured out bright & early from Harborfront for our ferry ride across. We were greeted by our hosts who quickly transported us to their sanctuary. We were offered a welcome tea whilst our treatments & lunch choices were confirmed then it was downstairs to the treatment rooms for the next 3 hrs of blissful relaxation❤️

We all met up again for a beautiful lunch together, followed by cocktails, swims & much laughter by one of the pool’s.

Our hosts transported us back to the ferry terminal for our return ferry back to SG.

A long day, but it was truly an excellent day out with many new friendships made.

Our Anza Outing this week took us to Far East Inspirations in Chinatown, where we enjoyed a wonderful hour of Chinese tea appreciation.

We learnt about the rich traditions and rituals behind Chinese tea making and discovered there is so much more to the process than any of us had ever imagined. From the careful preparation to the unique brewing techniques, every step has its own purpose and meaning.

We sampled three different teas throughout the session – a fermented tea, a delicate white tea, and finally a blue tea, more commonly known as Oolong – each with its own distinctive flavour and characteristics. We also learnt about the fascinating tradition of tea pets and the role they play in Chinese tea culture.

Afterwards, we had time to browse the beautiful shophouse filled with curios and antiques, with the opportunity to purchase some of the teas we had tasted.

It was a fascinating and informative experience, and one that everyone thoroughly enjoyed.

We had a fantastic tour on Thursday exploring Singapore’s food factories. It was such a great opportunity to experience another side of Singapore that we don’t normally get to see.

We enjoyed an abundance of tastings and every factory host was so welcoming, kind and generous. We were definitely spoilt!

Our tour started at Gourmet East Kitchen, a six-storey industrial food complex in Bedok. Charlotte was a wealth of knowledge and took us to some of her favourite factories, many of which are open to the public to buy fresh produce direct.

We visited New Day, where they make crispy crackers. We sampled Emping Belinjo crackers, made from melinjo tree seeds, with a slightly bitter, nutty flavour. We also spotted the biggest prawn crackers I’ve ever seen!

Next was Genting Nonya Cake & Confectionery, where we watched huge vats of cakes being steamed and enjoyed the famous Kueh Lapis. It was absolutely delicious.

We also visited two noodle factories, Hong Bee Food and Ong Kym Sun Noodle Factory, and watched bags of fresh noodles being prepared for dispatch.

At Hup Yew Factory we tried Black Huat Kueh, a cake often used in temple prayers, festivals and ancestral offerings. Then we sampled fresh, still-warm tofu at a soya bean factory.

One of my favourites was Xiang Ye Nonya Dumplings. Charlotte was right—the pork filling with soy-flavoured fried rice was the tastiest!

At Thow Yen Foodstuffs we watched dumplings being made and sampled beautiful pink Shou Tao Bao (Longevity Buns). I’ll take 100 to go, thanks!

We also watched mackerel otah being wrapped in banana leaves before finishing at Santino Coffee Specialists. Matthew explained the journey from raw Robusta beans to roasted coffee, and we enjoyed fresh kopi and teh with condensed milk.

He also recommended visiting their Bukit Timah factory and café for the full coffee experience.
