| Singaporeanisms - Code-Switching & Kopi Khoo | 17 Sep 2024 | 00:03:47 | |
I'm striking up conversations with strangers & asking them questions about Singapore. This time, I talk to a code-switcher about how Singaporeans can glide effortlessly between English and Singlish, and then drop by Joo Chiat to hang out with a non-coffee drinking barista who sells artisanal coffee from a hole she made in her kitchen wall to customers who walk the lane behind her house #singapore #strangers #askaboutsingapore #singaporeanisms #kopikhoo #codeswitching #singlish See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. | |||
| You Otter Go to the Night Safari! | 03 Sep 2024 | 00:03:58 | |
The Night Safari in Mandai is celebrating its 30th anniversary, and the big draw has always been to see animals at night; lions, elephants, rhinos - the bigger, the better, you might think when it comes to entertainment value. And yes, when the lions roar, it's a sound that inspires awe and terror at the same time. But on my trip, the best sound I captured were Bubble and Squeak, two playful otters swimming and scampering around their enclosure.

| Lion Dance (Reissue) | 11 Jun 2024 | 00:01:47 | |
Every Chinese New Year, across Singapore, you'll hear lion dances to bring good luck in the new year. Learn more about the simple instruments used and, most importantly, how much it costs to get a lion dance troupe over to your home/office/shop to raise the roof and start the year right! For some reason, this is our most popular episode, and it's probably cos even though it's an impromptu recording of a lion troupe that started performing right in front of me, there are good chunks of the performance that are nice and clean that have probably been sampled and remixed into other works. #3daudio #3dio #stereo #hearhere #singapore #splicecast #uniquesingapore #liondance See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. | |||

Immerse yourself in a south bath of Himalayan Full Moon Singing Bowls at The Singing Bowl Gallery. The Full Moon bowls are struck under a full moon, which is said to imbue each bowl with a special aura that makes the note of the bowl more ethereal. The address is 160 Robinson Road #04-12 SBF Centre, Singapore 068914.

| Betting on Numbers, Singapore-Style! | 21 May 2024 | 00:04:32 | |
When passing the scene of a traffic accident, most folks rubber neck to see the aftermath, and no more. In Singapore, gamblers note down the license plates and then go place a bet on that number coming up in the draw.

| Murder Most Fowl | 07 May 2024 | 00:04:52 | |
Out and about again with my parabolic mic, I decided to track down a single cicada and record it going through a full cycle of the iconic cicada song. Alkaff Mansion is a good spot to get away from the city and record cicadas... but there are also plenty of crows there. Crows happen to be a natural predator of the noisy critters... and mayhem ensues! #immersive #3daudio #3dio #hearhere #singapore #telinga #parabolic #parabolicmicrophone #splicecast #cicadas #crow #predator #murder #whitecrestedlaughingthrush #thrush See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. | |||

| Flamingo a Go-Go | 09 Apr 2024 | 00:04:46 | |
Jurong Bird Park, featured in early episodes early in 2020, shifted in January 2024 to Mandai, to be next to Singapore Zoo, Night Safari & River Wonders. So, it was time to visit my feathered friends in their new digs, and get up close to the American Flamingos. The way the old place was laid out, you couldn't get that close. Now, in the Crimson Wetlands, I was just a few metres from them and finally heard the noise that the stars of the Miami Vice opening sequence sound like: it's not what you think! #immersive #3daudio #3dio #hearhere #singapore #telinga #parabolic #parabolicmicrophone #splicecast #flamingos #miamivice #birdbrain #gabblegabble #americanflamingo #lory #parakeet #macaw #cockatoo #avocet See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. | |||

| Speak Solid Singlish - Taking MC | 13 Mar 2024 | 00:05:14 | |
When you're ill, it's understandable to take a day off work after seeing a doctor who issues the necessary Medical Certificate, aka MC. But when you want a day off but haven't got the necessary annual leave allowance, it's a sly practice to "fake" being ill to get that MC and a free day off work!

Founded as a port, Singapore has grown into a leading SE Asian hub for trade and travel and welcomes visitors for both business and pleasure. It's a two-way street, though: Singaporeans also LOVE to travel, and the Singapore Passport was recently ranked no.1 because it grants holders visa-free travel to 196 countries across the world.

Singaporeans love to abbreviate things, and illegal loansharks have popularised O$P$ - short for Owe Money, Pay Money. With credit companies popping up, getting your hands on quick cash no longer requires you get in bed with gangsters, and the legacy of these dodgy dealers is now stuff of stories kids are told to warn them to be financially prudent!

Today, January 23rd 2024, marks a year since I lost my brother, Paul. He & his wife loved to travel, but because of his illness and the pandemic shutting borders, he never got to see Jewel at Changi Airport. So I spent a few hours grabbing sounds he would have heard at T1, T2, T3, and Jewel. The sounds in the episode are (in order)

| 639937 Tuas Checkpoint | 10 May 2023 | 00:02:47 | |
Singapore's border checkpoints are among the busiest in the world, with a total of 450,000 travelers every day across the 2 land crossings. Join me an hour before dawn at the Tuas Checkpoint in the west as the waves of traffic start streaming to the city. In 12 hours, they'll come back to leave Singapore: who is making these daily commutes, many on sub-200cc motorbikes? #immersivesound #3Dio #zoomf3 #singapore #soundscape #motorcycles #bordercrossing #tuascheckpoint #woodlandscheckpoint #malaysia #dailycommute #freespace #freespaceproii See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. | |||
| 058793 Archanai at Sri Mariamman Temple | 02 May 2023 | 00:03:03 | |
The oldest Hindu Temple in Singapore is the Sri Mariamman Temple on South Bridge Road, in the Chinatown district. It's famous for the annual firewalking festival and the daily poojas. More low-key and intimate is the Archanai, a personal pooja performed by priests to bestow the blessings of the goddess, Mariamman, on the devotee. Entry is free, but footwear is not permitted inside. The temple provides shoe racks outside.

| 058793 Pooja at Sri Mariamman Temple | 24 Apr 2023 | 00:04:20 | |
Listen to the mesmerizing soundtrack of a pooja, as a nadaswaram (long horn) and thavil (double-sided drum) add syncopated beats, drifting tempos and intricate phrases to the ringing bell as devotees seek the blessing of the Goddess Mariamman at the oldest Hindu Temple in Singapore. The Sri Mariamman Temple was completed in 1827, just 4 years shy of 2 centuries. Entry is free, but be mindful that footwear is not permitted inside, so please leave your shoes in the shoe racks outside before entering History of Sri Mariamman Temple #immersivesound #3Dio #zoomf3 #singapore #soundscape #hindutemple #srimariammantemple #pooja #puja #archana #archanai #blessing #freespaceproii See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. | |||
