An assembly of their abstract illustrations will be displayed in tcc ‘The Gallery’ from 5th April to 2nd July 2012 at 51 Circular Road. The exhibition is intended to rouse the interest of ordinary teenagers and parents by painting a vivid representation of the book to motivate the public towards living in Sophie’s shell and deliberate slightly more about the seemingly regular world they reside in. While intended for young adults, ‘Sophie’s World’ is an intriguing read for all ages, serving as a reminder or introduction to the intricate essence that is philosophy. The depictions themselves are entertaining, colourful, accessible and most importantly, contain snippets of phrases which follow Jostein's ethos of writing from a child's perspective, exploring their sense of astonishment about the world around them.

A game with a minimum of two players, Ping Pong can be thought of as a dialogue between two players on opposite sides. Instead of a rectangular Ping Pong Table, Ping Pong Go-Round is a donut-shaped table that enables a player to engage in a game (or dialogue) with as many players as possible, regardless of gender and age. Pit your skills against the boys and girls from the Singapore Table Tennis Association‘s Youth Development Squad as they take on a table that they themselves have never experienced before! http://www.whatshappening.sg/events/index.php?com=detail&eID=63491 Sat, 19 May 2012 http://www.whatshappening.sg/events/index.php?com=detail&eID=63007 Brought to you by Silver Ribbon (Singapore): An annual Mandarin talkshow 'Secrets' on mental health is here around the corner once again.
