Living Soil Series — Exploring Systems and Futures Part I & Part II
What do we call the future of our land? The interplay of soil, systems and communities? In this pair of workshops, we delve into the intricacies of land use in Singapore and explore how the choices we make collectively shape our shared future.
Exploring Systems and Futures Part I & II is part of the Living Soil Series by T:>Works’ CoThink Lab. It invites participants to examine how we relate to our land and to imagine future possibilities through two complementary sessions:
Part I – Causal Layered Analysis: How do we relate to land? Participants learn about Causal Layered Analysis (CLA), a foresight tool that examines headline stories, policies, narratives and deep metaphors. Through discussions, the workshop invites us to unpack the forces shaping Singapore’s urban landscape and our relationship to the land, and to collectively envision preferred futures
Part II –Learning Through Simulation: Harvest. An immersive simulation inspired by systems thinking and sustainability, this session engages participants in a resource‑management game. Through hands‑on play, you’ll experience how individual choices influence shared resources. Guided reflection after the game helps connect the insights to personal, organisational, and societal issues
Attend both sessions and enjoy a complimentary vegetarian and allium‑free lunch
Please note that the workshop space is on the second floor of 72‑13 and is only accessible via stairs

A Student’s Guide on What to Expect from A-Level Economics Tuition in Singapore
Singapore’s academic landscape is nothing if not competitive. But of all the subjects that get students and instructors riled up, A-Level Economics probably stands near the top of the list. This is because, unlike rote-based disciplines, it challenges learners to apply logical reasoning to often-subjective real-world issues, almost guaranteeing some disagreement. What’s more, the subject is highly relatable, inviting discussions on everything from the rising cost of living to globalisation’s impact on Singapore’s small and open economy.
However, despite inviting so much spirited discussion, many students find A-Level Economics deceptively tough. While it does touch on familiar topics, it also demands logic, empathy, cultural and historical literacy, maths skills, and the ability to produce well-developed arguments under pressure. If you’re deficient in any of these areas, it can be challenging to keep up with the best in the field.
This is where specialised tuition can make a real difference. If you’re wondering what to expect when signing up for the best A-level economics tuition Singapore has to offer, here’s what you can expect.
1. A Structured Curriculum Aligned with the A-Level Syllabus
If you go to a top-rated tuition centre, you can expect it to follow the Ministry of Education (MOE) A-Level Economics syllabus. Good programmes will reinforce what you’re currently learning in school while providing extra context and layers of support that will enable you to achieve mastery. You’ll also receive detailed topic breakdowns, revision timelines, and test resources that match exam formats. You may also get the chance to backtrack or dive deeper into specific areas, depending on your progress.
2. Emphasis on Essay and Case Study Techniques
Scoring well in A-Level Economics (or any advanced subject, for that matter) is often as much about writing style as it is about content. A good tuition programme will place a heavy focus on helping you master the art of writing evaluation-heavy essays and picking apart data-driven case studies. You’ll also be taught how to structure your responses and build arguments in ways that are key to attaining the highest marks.
3. Simplification of Complex Concepts through Real-World Application
Economic models can seem abstract until they’re played out in actual scenarios. For that reason, the best tuition centres will employ effective tutors who can translate textbook theories into relatable situations. For example, lessons may explore how MAS policies affect inflation or how different subsidy structures impact both specific industries and the wider economy. As you internalise theory, you will be able to make these linkages on your own. With the essay techniques you’re taught, you’ll be able to offer properly structured and relatable explanations that score highly on standardised tests.
4. Smaller Classes and Personalised Feedback
Typical school environments often force teachers to accommodate larger classes, resulting in less individual attention for students. Tuition sessions, on the other hand, tend to offer more opportunities for targeted one-on-one feedback. In quality programmes, tutors can hone in on your challenges and give you personalised strategies for improvement. Some may even provide performance tracking to pinpoint whether you’re weak in content mastery, application, or evaluation.
5. Exposure to Proven Exam Strategies
Reputable tuition programmes can have years of experience in helping students ace exams. Through them, you’ll learn how to interpret certain question types effectively and how to manage time efficiently. You’ll also be drilled to spot common traps and trick questions. Some centres might even offer cheat sheets, question banks, and predicted question sets based on recent exam trends.
6. Expertly Curated Learning Materials
Given that economics is such a wide field of study, schools may not always provide students with sufficient instruction in all economic areas. For that reason, better tuition programmes will offer resources that go well beyond standard school instruction. These may include concept summaries as well as flowcharts and essay scaffolds designed to help your mind cut through the clutter.
7. Regular Topical Reviews and Mock Exams
Lastly, tuition centres will simulate testing pressure through regular quizzes and mock exams. Unlike the real exams you will be taking later, these assessments aren’t just for testing your subject mastery. Rather, they’re also tools to identify gaps and fine-tune your answering technique. Programmes will often include timed practice sessions followed by detailed review sessions where your answers are unpacked and improved upon.
Economics Is More Than a Subject; It’s A Way of Understanding the World
Whether you’re struggling to pass or aiming for a distinction, the right tuition programme should give you the mental tools you need in your economics classes and uni entrance exams. More importantly, these programmes can offer lasting value beyond the academe and standardised testing.
More than just being a subject, economics is an unavoidable phenomenon that defines human society and even personal interactions. When it comes to future business decisions, investments, or even your choice of university programme, a deeper understanding of economic ideas can empower you to see the bigger picture. Whether you pursue economics at university or not, the analytical thinking, confidence, and reasoning skills you gain should serve you well in any field.

5 Amenities to Look for in a Luxury Condo for Sale Singapore Property
As one of Asia’s most prestigious property markets, Singapore offers a wealth of high-end developments, each showcasing impressive design and modern amenities. However, while many condos promise lavish living spaces, not all of them deliver the quality and exclusivity that define true luxury.
To fully enjoy the pinnacle of luxury living, it’s good to learn about the elements that distinguish the finest properties from the rest. Here are five key amenities that define a luxury condominium and how they’ll elevate your overall living experience:
1) Exclusive Resident Services
One of the key hallmarks of a luxury condo for sale Singapore home buyers would look for is the exceptional quality of resident services that set these properties apart from the rest. This high standard of service reflects the understanding that a truly luxurious living experience is one that goes beyond the physical space and includes the convenience and personalised attention that make day-to-day life more effortless.
For instance, the availability of 24/7 concierge services is a fundamental aspect of luxury living. These services ensure that residents’ needs, whether simple or complex, can be met at any time of the day or night. A dedicated concierge team also helps streamline life, allowing residents to focus on enjoying their lifestyle.
Private lift access is another feature that defines the exclusivity of high-end condominiums. With private lifts, residents can bypass common areas, ensuring both their privacy and full convenience. This level of autonomy is particularly appreciated by those who value discretion, allowing for a seamless and quiet entry into their homes without the need to interact with other residents. Together, concierge services and private lifts level up the overall condo living experience, making it one of ease, luxury, and privacy.
2) Premium Fixtures, Furnishings, and Appliances
Luxury condominiums are renowned for their meticulous attention to detail, and this extends to the fixtures, furnishings, and appliances within each unit. The use of superior materials is a key aspect of the luxurious living experience, and every element is designed not only to look stunning but also offer long-lasting durability and functionality.
High-end finishes, such as custom cabinetry, polished hardwood floors, and natural stone worktops, will set the tone for refined living. These elements are responsible for creating an elegant and timeless backdrop that enhances the overall atmosphere.
These finishes are ideally complemented with carefully selected furnishings, such as plush leather sofas and bespoke dining tables, which heighten the sense of comfort and sophistication in each room. In addition, luxury condominiums are typically fitted with top-of-the-line appliances, which combine cutting-edge technology with sleek designs. These appliances are seamlessly integrated into the living spaces, enhancing daily life by providing the latest in convenience and efficiency.
3) High-End Facilities
Luxury living isn’t only about the exquisite private spaces within the condominium, but also about the shared facilities that enhance the overall experience. These communal areas are designed to cater to the needs of residents, ensuring that every moment spent in the building—whether for relaxation or leisure—feels just as exclusive as the private residence itself.
One of the most sought-after amenities people look for in high-end condominiums is the swimming pool. Particularly attractive are pools that are designed as serene, resort-style retreats, featuring infinity edges, spectacular views, and beautifully landscaped surroundings. The pool area typically provides residents with a peaceful escape, offering the perfect environment for both recreation and relaxation.
In addition to the swimming pool, a fully-equipped gym is an essential feature that complements a luxury lifestyle. Compared to standard workout spaces, gyms in premium condominiums offer state-of-the-art equipment and designated areas for different forms of exercise. If that’s not enough, some gyms also offer the services of personal trainers as well as specialised fitness classes, further enhancing the wellness experience within the condominium.
4) Children’s Play Area
Luxury condominiums also cater to the needs of families, and for those with young children, a children’s play area is an essential amenity. The best play areas are built to be both safe and entertaining, featuring modern play equipment, soft flooring, and often supervised spaces that allow children to interact with their peers.
A children’s play area within a condo will also provide children with opportunities to play and learn in a secure environment, giving parents peace of mind while they enjoy the rest of the building’s amenities. With a safe and well-maintained space dedicated to kids, families can enjoy the benefits of luxury living without compromising on the well-being of younger residents.
5) Top-Notch Security
Top-tier security is an integral part of the luxury living experience. It provides residents with an assurance of privacy and safety, allowing them to enjoy their homes without the worry of potential threats or disruptions.
As such, luxury condos utilise advanced security systems and carefully integrate them into every aspect of the property to safeguard both residents and their belongings. For instance, 24/7 surveillance ensures that common areas and entry points are constantly monitored, and smart security features, such as keyless entry and mobile-controlled access, offer residents full control over who enters their homes.
Alongside these technologies, the presence of professional security personnel around the clock is an essential aspect of luxury living. These trained professionals will ensure that the building remains secure at all times, whether it’s monitoring the grounds, assisting residents, or responding to any emergencies. With such comprehensive measures in place, residents can fully relax and embrace their luxurious lifestyle, knowing their safety is being managed around the clock.
Luxury condominium investments in Singapore are all about achieving the highest standards of living, whether the residents are single professionals, couples, or families. If you’re in the market for a premium condo, the right combination of features and services will guarantee a living environment that enhances your daily life through an ideal balance of comfort, convenience, and exclusivity.

Top 10 Reasons Hot Desking Is the Perfect Work Arrangement for Freelancers in Singapore
One of the perks of pursuing a freelancing career in Singapore is that there are plenty of office and work arrangement options available to you. If you want a break from your home office, you can always step out and be productive in a cafe for a change of pace and scenery. Should you prefer to keep your personal and work addresses separate, it’s an option to rent a dedicated office space. Coworking spaces, meanwhile, offer professional setups without the commitment of a permanent office. These shared spaces present a balance of flexibility, affordability, and comfort by offering hot desking, among other working arrangements. Hot desking is an arrangement where individuals do not have a fixed desk but instead use any available seating. Choosing to hot desk in Singapore presents you with plenty of practical benefits as a freelancer. These include the following:
It’s a Cost-Effective Solution
As a freelancer, it’s crucial to keep your overhead costs in a manageable range. Renting an office space in Singapore can be quite expensive, but hot desking can prove to be an affordable alternative to it. Many coworking spaces offer flexible pricing plans, which means you only need to pay for the time that you use your seat. If you want to work outside of your home or office daily, weekly, or only when the mood hits you, hot desking lets you get access to a professional workspace without the high costs of traditional office rental.
It Gives You Quick and Easy Access to Presentable and Functional Amenities
Hot desking spaces provide access to facilities that would be costly to set up at home or in a private office. These include high-speed internet, meeting rooms, and printing services. There are coworking spaces that have coffee bars for those who need a bit of caffeine while working. These amenities can enhance productivity and ensure that you present a professional image when meeting clients or attending virtual conferences.
It Can Contribute to Your Increased Productivity and Focus
Depending on your living arrangements, working from home can be full of distractions like household chores. Opting to do your freelancing job in a hot desking environment helps create a clear boundary between work and home life, allowing you to focus better. Many coworking spaces also have designated quiet areas, ensuring you have a conducive setting for deep work and concentration.
It’s the Perfect Work Setup to Find Networking Opportunities
Freelancers often work in isolation, which can limit opportunities for collaboration. One of the biggest advantages of hot desking in Singapore is the chance to network with like-minded professionals from different places. In a coworking space with a hot desk setup, you can choose to sit anywhere and interact with individuals from various industries. These encounters can open the door to potential partnerships, referrals, and business growth.
It Presents Unparalleled Flexibility and Convenience
Hot desking offers the flexibility to work when and where you want. You can choose a coworking space near your home or one closer to a client’s base so that you can meet up with them and collaborate in person. Many coworking spaces in Singapore operate 24/7, so you can choose the hours that best fit your schedule. If you need to work late on a project or prefer early mornings, you have the freedom to do so without restrictions.
It Offers a Comfortable Yet Professional Work Environment
While working from home or a café might seem appealing, they do not always provide the most professional setting. Hot desking spaces offer a structured environment where you can work alongside other professionals. This setting helps maintain discipline and separates your personal and work life, leading to better work-life balance.
It Can Improve Your Access to Business Support Services
Many coworking spaces offer additional support services such as mail handling, administrative assistance, and legal or financial consulting. These services can be particularly useful if you are scaling your freelance business and need occasional help with administrative tasks.
It Can Help You Stay Updated about Learning Opportunities
Coworking spaces frequently host workshops and networking events. They also often host talks by industry experts who want to share their knowledge. As a freelancer, staying updated with industry trends is essential for staying competitive in your chosen field. Knowing about these events and attending them can provide you with valuable insights and skill development opportunities that would otherwise be difficult to access independently.
It Can Contribute to Improving Your Work-Life Balance
Working from home can blur the lines between personal and professional life, making it difficult to switch off. Hot desking provides a dedicated space for work, allowing you to leave your tasks behind when the day is over. This separation can help improve mental well-being and overall work-life balance.
It Means You Can Access Multiple Locations to Work In
Many hot desking providers in Singapore have multiple branches across the city, allowing you to work from different locations as needed. Do you need to attend meetings in the Central Business District? Or maybe you prefer a quieter setting in a suburban area? You can always choose a hot desking location that best suits your needs for the day.
Hot desking is an excellent option if you’re keen on enjoying a greater deal of flexibility, affordability, and opportunities for growth while you’re on the clock. By choosing a coworking space in Singapore that offers this seating option, you can access everything you need to enhance productivity and success in your freelance career. If you’re ready to take your work to the next level, consider giving hot desking a try and see how its benefits can positively impact your business.

Ernest Goh | ‘Bleached Bones: Last Words of the Dead Spoken by a Dying Sea’
‘Bleached Bones’ is a visual catalogue of photographic prints by artist and photographer Ernest Goh. In this exhibition curated by Shireen Marican, bleached corals capture timeless, poignant last words of the departed.
Bleaching is a phenomenon when corals turn completely white after algae in their tissues are expelled when their waters are too warm — nature’s lasting reminder that climatic changes continue to influence ecological systems.
Ernest’s explorations across the shores of Nikoi Island in Indonesia led to a discovery of the unique formations of these bleached corals. In these, he finds a visual parallel to the alphabet system which he draws upon to contemplate lessons of life and living from death poems and last words.
This exhibition is presented by Blueprint Art Advisory. For information on exhibition programmes, please visit www.blueprintartadvisory.com/ernestgoh-bleachedbones
Exhibition is open 11 am – 7 pm daily.
Exhibition is closed 28 Jan – 2 Feb 2025 for Chinese New Year.
