Recorded in Singapore’s very own hidden nature, this soundscape meditation brings you into the quiet shuffle of life: the birds, the trees, the insects, the hum of a landscape often overlooked.

Question 2

10am, 11am, 12pm, 2pm, 3pm, 4pm TATTOOS & STORIES with Wai

Accepted Answer

"I used to be a lot of things — an aircraft engineer, a butler, an Uber driver, a semi-con engineer. Now I’m a tattooist. Not because I’m chasing art, but because I’m chasing people. Their stories, their connections.

Truth is, I’m still figuring life out. Trying to make sense of it for myself, while holding space for others to do the same. Nobody really has it all sorted. But maybe, through the permanence of ink and the stories we carry, the journey feels a little less lonely.

Come and share the story behind your tattoo. Haven’t got one - no problem, discuss the desire for tattoos, or simply learn more about the art and culture of tattoos."

Wai, a gifted tattoo artist, offers a welcoming and non-judgmental space for tattoo enthusiasts.

Question 6

2pm MINDFUL HANDS with Elaine

Accepted Answer

Seeing a creation unfold evokes joy, but what if it's just a continuous block? The movement documents the calm and peacefulness felt in the process. #onetruthfulhour came about from Elaine's response to @strangerconvos living room after realising there is a need for an intentional schedule to something we have a call to do. Her intentional schedule was knit & crochet, just the action of it, no end-piece in mind.

Join Elaine to play with yarn and uncover your intentional schedule through needlecraft - crochet, knitting, even embroidery or friendship band :) You may recall the movements if you mastered them when you were younger, or you are a complete beginner and just looking for a starter conversation. Some materials are available, but feel fee to bring your needles.

Question 9

5pm STORIES IN THE SHADOW (PHT Edition)

Accepted Answer

195 Pearl’s Hill Terrace. Built 91 years ago in 1934 for the British Straits Settlement.

This same building once housed a police headquarters during an era of unrest. Tales have been told of daring escapes, tense stand-offs and lives forever changed within its walls. Whispers persist about strange happenings – footsteps when no one’s there, a shadow caught from the corner of an eye.

Gather round for a journey of encounters and affairs.

Feel. Trigger your imagination and vision. Enrapture yourself to tales of horror — our very own — right here in the place that saw it all.

And then, take it a step further: weave an ending that fits YOUR story. Will it be chilling, uplifting, mysterious or bittersweet? The conclusion is yours to create and share with all of us on the spot. We dare you.

Question 10

7pm CONNECT BEYOND WORDS with Sanat

In an age of hyper-independence and quiet isolation, how do we truly reconnect?
