Listen "Jake"
Episode Synopsis
In this delightful episode, Payal speaks with Jake, who transports us to his childhood days living in a rented shophouse along McPherson Road. From his upstairs window, young Jake would spend evenings counting passing cars with his mother, turning simple moments into imaginative games. He recalls the vibrant sights outside, laundry spread like colorful tapestries across open fields and the comforting aroma of freshly brewed coffee drifting from a nearby coffeeshop. Jake also shares fond memories of the Pasar Malam (night market), a weekly highlight filled with lights, laughter, food stalls, and performances that brought the community together. Through his tender and humorous reflections, Jake paints a vivid picture of a time when everyday life in Singapore was simple, sensory, and full of quiet wonder.[Lumina Vitae,Light of Life,Melting Pot Series, Podcast,The Bloom Fund,Stories of Singapore,Heritage ReimaginedCommunity Through Art,Singapore Stories]#LuminaVitae #MeltingPotSeries #TheBloomFund #SingaporeStories #CommunityArt #TheBloomFund #SingaporeHeritage #AIMeetsMemory #IntergenerationalStories #NHB Hosted on Acast.
