In this series, you'll explore five crucial aspects of adulthood with five different librarians:
Mindful Rediscovery: Break free from stagnation and reignite your passion by reconnecting with your surroundings. Librarian Shafie takes you on a walk of rediscovery down Tekka as he encourages you to put down your phones to find peace & inspiration in our streets.
Personality: Embrace and find peace with your true self. Librarian Sarah leads you through an exploration of accepting your innate personality whether you’re an extrovert or an introvert navigating through an extroverted world.
Children: Heal past wounds and give the next generation freedom with a fresh start. Librarian Shahril explores folktales we grew up on to unravel trauma & fear that links our childhood to our kids and find new reinvented tales to emancipate a new generation of kids.
Workplace: Cultivate meaningful connections and a sense of belonging at work. Librarian Qin Li dives into the 3 Kingdoms to find out if we can learn how to be a good manager in the workplace from an ancient warlord.
Pets: Reflect on how we care for our furbabies and the impact it has on our world. Librarian Lisa investigates the tension between the ways we treat pets and other animals in our surroundings. Does it reveal more about the blindsight in our human condition?
Each video works as part of the series or as standalone episodes.
Just like problems in life & their solutions come at random, these videos can be viewed shuffled.
With diverse animation styles and rich Singaporean elements, this NLB Original offers a unique experience that invites you to decode and discover.

    I really relate to this video. I am a severe introvert. I never really grew up understanding how to talk to people and I even spent my entire education life shaking my legs during presentations and mumbling when giving speeches. I wanted to become better so in my adulthood I took on.... SALES!! Whuuutt?? But seriously 8 years on... I am able to give full room presentations no problem and did emcee work. But I am still INFJ. There is a way to manage your energy in an extroverted world. All the best.

    It would be a pity if TypesettingSG is lost. Wish that National Library can organise hands-on workshops about long forgotten trades to help young Singaporeans (especially those in primary schools) to appreciate our history instead of just focusing on collecting old books. It would make history come alive and less boring.

    I don't understand this trend. I'm sitting in front of my desktop looking at the monitor screen, and the host is looking at me and talking to me because I'm his target audience. However, suddenly, he turns to another direction and he's not looking at me but looking at and talking to someone I can't see. Nevertheless, at 1:47, I understand why he's not looking at me the audience because he's talking to someone else and I the audience an looking at two people talking to each other. Sometimes, the person is talking to the reporter who's sitting in front of him. I know what you'll say. But why is he talking to the cameraman? The camera is supposed to record his talking to the audience.

      ​​@@jamesng9811lol Feng, Debal, Putugal, Sugee Cake and all that are all MALACCAN Portuguese. Then Singaporean Eurasians not of Malaccan descent claim those as theirs, even those of Malaccan ancestry barely acknowledge/mention their Malaccan origin 🙄 just like how "Singapore" Nyonyas claim Malacca Nyonya food when Nyonya have only been in Singapore since the 19th century and most of them come from Malacca. Go read D'Albuquerque's Children: Performing Tradition in Malaysia's Portuguese Settlement by Margaret Sarkissian on how non-Malaccan Portuguese Eurasians appropriated Malaccan Portuguese culture.

    • @totot99
      @totot99 Před měsícem

      ​​@@jamesng9811 Saying "they're all Eurasians" is the easiest and laziest way to dismiss the centuries old culture of Malaccan Portuguese originating from Malacca from its cuisine to its art. Eurasians like the Nyonya have only been in Singapore circa the 19th century, and many are from Malacca, bringing their culture along with them. Then Singapore shamelessly claimed "Malaccan Portuguese" and "Malaccan Nyonya" as theirs and "indigenous" to Singapore.

      ​​​@@jamesng9811 Singapore also always would simply say "Portuguese Eurasians" instead of "Malaccan Portuguese" to detach their history from Malacca when "Malaccan Portuguese" is a community/ethnicity in its own right, and an old one at that, predating the foundation of modern Singapore by a couple of CENTURIES

    Absolutely loved the video! It's amazing to see the wide variety of activities available in libraries nowadays. Personally, I really enjoy playing the Game of Scattergories, whether it's with a small group of friends or a large gathering. It brings out everyone's competitive side, and it's always entertaining to hear the "creative" answers people come up with. The premise of the game is simple: each player receives a category from a list of 12 categories-such as vegetables or things you throw away-and has to write down an item that fits each category. The twist is that each item must start with a specific letter, which is determined by rolling a 20-sided die. It's a fantastic way to exercise my thinking cap because the quicker you can think, the better you’ll do. Every serious game enthusiast should have Scattergories in their collection! It's versatile, allowing you to play for a short time or for hours, depending on your mood. Plus, there's no pressure-just pure fun!

    For me, it's "Dice Throne." This fast and strategic game of card play and dice manipulation is perfect for two to six players. It combines elements of dice rolling and card play, offering a mix of luck and strategy. This blend ensures variety while allowing players to influence outcomes through their decisions, and this balance therefore allows the game to appeal to different types of gamers. Plus, if you're (lazy) like me and prefer a game with minimal setup, "Dice Throne" is an ideal game as it's one of the easiest games to get to the table. Pull out the character sheets and boards, your plastic character trays and off to the races you go! In addition , the production quality of "Dice Throne" is top-notch, with detailed artwork, sturdy dice, and well-made components, enhancing the overall gaming experience and making the game visually appealing. Something I don’t hear often that is talked about board games is that it actually teaches us to be present in the moment, a valuable skill in today's digital age. Playing board games like "Dice Throne" forces me into a physical space with others, unlike video games, where I often play alone. At the table, sharing the gameplay with others brings me out of my own mind and into the present.Additionally, I love that "Dice Throne" has a strong community and has released several expansions and seasons, introducing new characters and mechanics. This ongoing support keeps the game fresh and continually evolving, providing players with new content to explore

    My favorite board game is, ironically, called "Pandemic." I received it as a gift during the circuit breaker to play with my family at home, and it was a surreal experience since the game's theme mirrored real life. At that time, COVID-19 felt like a virus poised to take over and disrupt our daily lives. Moreover the intensity of the game was heightened when we played it during lockdown as we had to focus on working together to find a strategy to eradicate diseases before it's too late . It taught us the importance of cooperation, as there's no individual winner or loser-either we all win, or we all lose together. This was the same in reality, where the pandemic's resolution depended on global cooperation; no matter how many vaccines one country had, the pandemic would not have ended as quickly without helping others. Even now that the pandemic is over I highly recommend this game,, because it's very well-balanced. The difficulty is customizable, making it accessible for beginners while still engaging for experts. It's a clever game that offers a refreshing change from many other board games, as it encourages collaboration rather than competition
