Growing up in Singapore, we’ve all heard countless superstitions that are supposed to lead us to harm. These superstitions often have no rational explanations behind them, but we kind of believe them anyway. I remember asking my grandmother why I couldn’t cut my nails at night, and she just simply said to trust an elder’s words. Well, no room for argument there. These Asian superstitions may sound crazy, but it’s a part of our culture and some are pretty interesting. Here are eight superstitions commonly heard in Singapore and Asia, that you may or may not want to adhere to…

Somewhere in a considerably ulu part of Singapore, a man owns the largest collection of Barbie dolls in Asia.  Jian Yang describes himself as a grown up who still loves playing with his toys. With over 10,000 dolls sprawled all over the place, it was truly a marvel to step into his house. The first Barbie doll he ever received was in 1984, when he was just four years old, and it was the workout Barbie, rocking that 1980s activewear. Apparently the doll was meant as a present for his sister for Christmas, but he got to the tree first.…

I don’t know about you, but I’ve had my fair share of ill-fitting jeans. Sometimes it’s too loose, other times it’s too short. Sometimes you want a pair of slim-fitting jeans, but you end up with a pair of leggings instead. Then there are times where you just get the wrong kind of colour wash that doesn’t go with anything.  Buying a pair of jeans isn’t rocket science, but it does require a little bit of know-how. I’m no denim guru, but I think I can safely say that I know how to make jeans look good. Here’s a short…

We’ve all seen that guy or girl dressed in designer stuff from head to toe, looking like they stepped straight out of a Vogue magazine. It looks good, and other people definitely take notice. But not everyone can afford that kind of stuff, and so we have brands that copy those high-end designs. Maybe ‘copy’ sounds a bit too negative, so let’s say “inspired” instead. Every millennial wants to look ‘fly’, doing their best to stay at the forefront of fashion and hype. A $600 Off-White™ flannel shirt? Screw that, H&M flannel for $30. $1000 Balenciaga sneakers? Let’s see…oh look, Zara…

That means you also get to admire the breathtaking scenery of our city at this carnival. There will be over 40 thrilling rides and games…

Do you want to look as cool as a ninja? Dress to impress in black from head-to-toe? Perhaps Snake Eyes from G.I. Joe is your revered hero? I got you covered. Black sneakers are super in style right now, with high-profile brands releasing a ton of black sneakers every other month. Almost every time an all-black sneaker releases from Nike or Adidas, it instantly sells out. There were a few hyped up collaborations this year, including Nike x Supreme and Adidas x Haven. Both of which featured the “triple black” look, meaning all-black. This style of sneaker is clearly alluring…
