Flight of the Conchords are Jermaine Clement and Bret McKenzie, New Zealand's fourth most popular guitar-based digi, bongo, acapella, rap, funk, and comedy folk duo. They won a Perrier Nomination in 2003 and this year sold out one of the biggest venues at Edinburgh for twenty six nights. By mixing their special parody of folksy music and unique brand of chit chat between the songs, the result is intoxicating and un-missable.

DI Saul has just 24 hours to find out who the killer of the body is. 24 hours to work out how the woman in the cell is linked with the murder. 24 hours in which at every turn, his own life seems to be inextricably linked with the events that unfold. 24 hours before the container in the room explodes....

One of the most peaceful spots in Singapore is hidden in plain sight. On Google maps, it's listed as "Shuang Long Shan Wu Shu Ancestral Hall", but a quick search reveals it's also known as "Shuang Long Shan Cemetery", "Yin Foh Kuan Hakka Cemetery" or "Holland Close Graveyard". Meet Teo Ee Koon, who has been manning the cemetery since 1982 with his father, who passed away in 2007.

There are 3 types of malls in Singapore. The first is the Orchard Mall, filled with Tai-tais, TWGs, and price-tags which can blind you. The second is the Strata Mall; a little shabby, a little eclectic, with the forlorn air of an impending en-bloc. The last is the Capitaland Mall, designed for mass appeal and precision-engineered for profit. They are, by far, the most ubiquitous, but also the most formulaic. So which category does the brand new Funan Mall fall under?

Spend some time exploring Singapore and you are bound to stumble upon a tree shrine. They are not always the largest trees or the most exotic, but you know them when you see them. White Styrofoam packets surround their gnarly trunks, and you might notice the distinct odour of incense, rising from a red wooden altar. What are the origins of these tree shrines? Why do people worship these seemingly ordinary trees? What is its connection to 4-D?

For most, the name 'Lucky Plaza' alone is inseparable from its association with the local Filipino community; to say the words 'Lucky Plaza' is to mean 'Little Manila'. It's a place most Singaporeans would rarely think to visit, other than as another place to eat at when in Orchard Road (and even then, this is limited to either the ayam penyet restaurants or the famous yong tau foo joint on the sixth floor). But going around with a guide makes all the difference.

Despite its ubiquity and popularity, Mala Xiang Guo's history and origins are unknown.

Find out how this spicy dish arrived on the sunny shores of Singapore and how the craze for this Mala dish all began.

Finding pleasure in wandering the supermarket seems to be an unusually common emotional experience. Even in the age of online grocery shopping, where RedMart will send ten pints of ice cream to your door free of judgement, Exploring the supermarket in other countries is practically a tourist activity in and of itself. What, then, lies behind the gravitational pull of the supermarket?

Do you know exactly what it means to be an 'auntie'? Who qualifies to be one? Is there an age range, a set of behaviour, a certain look? Choping seats at the hawker centre? Auntie. Scanning the Health Promotion Board Healthier Choice QR code for points to exchange for vouchers? Auntie. Skipping your warm-up in the gym and striding purposefully to the bench because it is the last free one? Auntie. Passive-aggressively complaining about aunties? Auntie.

We know that an undercut requires work to pull off, but we struggle with the idea that this degree of effort is something a man should concern himself with. The undercut forces its wearer to care. And what kind of guy cares the most about his appearance? Yup, the f--kboys and the douchebags.

Sometimes a house is a house. Sometimes a house is a home. And sometimes a home is a spiritual base from which a person can have a lifetime of adventure and love. I do suggest you use this short story as food for thought. Even one new idea can make all the difference. Most of the unique things about our home come as adaptations from Roman Catholic culture. Some are uniquely my own. I invite you to my home through this book. Our home is a reflection of our values and temperaments.

Holly Palmer fell in love with the old public house as soon as she saw it. All of her instincts should have told her of the mistake that she was about to make. They didn't.

School-taught 'Social Studies' is a fairly sanitised affair. We learn about Britain, Lee Kuan Yew, and the paramount importance of free trade. We also learn about food and the origins of Chicken Rice. However, what comes out is just as important as what goes in, because Singapore's history is also a fecal history—of dysentery, nightsoil, quacks and more. In short, it's a story of shit.
