100% Singapore 百分百新加坡 Steady Lah !

Channel U’s 100% Singapore 百分百新加坡 just completed it’s 8 episodes run.
Ch U 100% old playground

We watch every episode, and we really enjoy the documentary.
We are not saying this because we appear in one of the episodes.

It tickles our funny bone when we can identify with the “Singaporean traits” (tissue paper chope, Singlish etc)

Coffeeshop 踢球(Tak4 kiu2) and 釣魚(Diao4 her2) brought back so many fond memories.

To quote from the producers
“这是一个百分之一百非常新加坡的记录。再怎么细微的人事物，只要有一份情感价值，那就是我们的集体回忆。
每集节目会据主题，例如怀旧篇，生活篇，美食篇等等，列出约12个新加坡最具代表性、独一无二的特色，直到我们抵达100！”

Episode 4 – 自然 (Nature) – Pulau Semakau, Bidadari !

Daddy appeared on 早安您好 to share his parenting thoughts

Daddy and two other participants were invited to Mediacorp TV8’s morning lifestyle programe, 早安您好. It all started when Daddy was recommended by Audrey to 早安您好’s producer, and he thought it was only a phone interview.

..until Daddy found out he had to appear in Mediacorp studio in two days !
Daddy has to share his parenting thoughts on Dads’ involvement in family, and community events.

Daddy knows how to handle kids, but to show and tell “Live” is a whole new experience all together ! Will his Mandarin be good enough, will his nerves hold?

Fortunately, all went well. The three participants mingled well with each other, and the hosts 琪琪 and 林有懿 guide us along with their questions. Although Daddy was still nervous during the show, “Talking about kids” calm him down.

Watch our TV recording to see how Daddy fare.

We hope Daddy has successfully bring his Daddy-involvement message across, and more Dads will be encourage to bond with their kids and family more.

Personally, Daddy hopes society will finally grant Daddies at least two weeks of paternity leave for every newborn. It is way overdue to acknowledge Dad’s involvement in family building.
