their stories, their voice

With today’s modern technology, we are granted easy access to all forms of entertainment which we can enjoy with ease. We don’t think much about the uncle crooning oldies while strumming guitars in MRT underpasses, but we flock to the latest exhibition along Esplanade walkway.
