PAssionArts Month 2013 at Moulmein Kallang and Whampoa - Immerse yourself in the local Art scene!

PAssionArts Month 2013 is all about bringing together people, creating the spark to ignite their passions for the Arts. May it be musical performances, circus arts, ceramic art making or Jazz bands performances?

Immerse yourself in the local Art scene and take a well deserved break!

I always enjoy a play, dance or singing but too bad I am not exactly the most talent boy around since young and coming from an average family and in the 80s, not many parents will actually spend time and money for anything arts related. And I guess we weren't that exposed and receptive back then as well. I sometime wish that I will be young (like school young where I get to do all these art related things again.), wild and crazy. I sometime dream that I will be a strugglingtraveling artist going around the world and perform on the street. But I guess dreams will be dreams for a man like me now where I need to commit to money making and family. (*cue emo music) But I am happy I can do my part as a writer (Blogger lah actually. Writer sounds more atas.) and spread such love and words! Still doing my part for ARTS!

“Everyone can make a difference (M.A.D), and be an artist, or musician in their own way, as long as they have a PAssion for the arts”.

Life is a journey, take a break and let Arts take the centre stage this 13^th & 14^th April at Whampoa & Jalan Besar!

Many of you might not know but I was a percussion back in my school days! I kinda miss those days when I get to drum with the rest of the guys. It's the unity and we actually make music together. I guess I will probably be checking out the Jalan Besar's Art journey! Anybody wanna join me and SAMBA?

Mr.Smith, SAMBA!!
