About this event
Discover the joy of active ageing and your role in the fight against dementia at Do You Remember? The Exhibition, an interactive exhibition designed for the young-at-heart.
Are you, or do you know someone, between the ages of 50 to 64? As we age, health becomes an increasingly significant concern. By 2030, an estimated 152,000 people will be living with dementia.
Despite this, dementia is not as daunting as it seems. The fight against dementia begins by making simple yet conscious decisions each day. Journey through three interactive zones centred around social wellness, cognitive stimulation and physical wellbeing to cultivate new habits to take into the golden years.
Collect merit badges when you complete tasks to enjoy treats for the mind and a chance to win exclusive prizes from our gashapon machine!
This January, join us for an experience to remember.

Aequilibrium is Latin for a level position, equilibrium, balance. It also suggests equivalence, or reciprocity. Tan Sock Fong’s Aequilibrium II, the current sequel to her 2017 first iteration, is a development of these values, enlarging the schema of how glass and stone can level each other off. In doing so she plays glass against glass, glass against stone, and stone against stone.
The exhibition is a first for Blueprint Art Space which aims to encourage enjoyable experiences with art and further artistic dialogues.
Free admission to exhibition and programmes.

Let’s be honest. Since young, we’ve been taught how to be successful — study hard, get good grades, get a good job, and you’ll live a good life. Maybe you’ve had dreams of pursuing your passion, but you’ve been told it’s unrealistic and impractical. After years of following the blueprint of success you were taught, you’re just not happy. Here’s a message for you: it’s never too late to design your life. It’s never too late to define what success means to you, and live it fully. In this episode of the Own Your Voice Show, you’ll hear stories from guests who have defined their own success despite being told that they were “impractical” or “too young” “too old”. You’ll be led through an activity where you’ll start defining your own success, and receive tips you can apply right away after the show.

In 2018, the duo had the honour to open for Taiwanese superstar Wakin Chau to a sold-out crowd at the Singapore National Stadium, presented by UnUsual Entertainment.
2019 sees a new beginning for ShiLi & Adi as the duo charts another milestone – the release of self-penned original compositions in a debut trilingual EP titled Berdua.

The webinar will take place on Saturday, 21 November at 10 am via Zoom.
SOOS OIO is a social enterprise that uses gaming to empower youth through workshops and friendly competitions in the community.

The 3-hour webinar will consist of sharing sessions from gaming industry experts from SOOS OIO, an expert from the MLC, and youth psychologists on gaming trends, what makes it popular among children, its benefits and pitfalls, and how to identify and curb gaming addition.
Gaming as a topic is of particular interest now as youths spend more time on their devices amid extended periods of stay-home and safe distancing measures.
