Raffles Reads is a collaboration between Raffles Press and Times Reads which aims to promote reading culture among Singaporean students. For the past two weeks, as part of our Holiday Book Bonanza, we’ve been posting reviews of a variety of books, and we are now giving away one copy of each of the books which have been featured! Head to the link in our bio for more details on how to participate in our giveaway 🌟

My favourite memory is the last sun dance! When I was like ‘Let’s get ready for our last sun dance!’, then I was like ‘oh nooo’ but it’s so heartwarming! It’s the first dance we learnt (as ogls) and saw our seniors do, and because it’s the last one, then we do it with all our might, and even the words and commands, we shout it with everything because that’s the last time we’re doing it with the OGL Batch of 2019... I feel like whenever you invest into something, you may start out not liking it, but the more you involve yourself, you will find yourself liking it more. You will feel yourself pouring your whole heart into it and betting your life on it that you don’t realise how time passes so quickly and how everything doesn’t seem very hard becuase you’re invested in it with other people. What I want to say is: If you put your whole soul into something, you already feel very fulfilled and that you have made a big difference to lives, and in your own life also. When you interact with people and see value in what you do, it’s very heartwarming. - Patricia, Capriccio’19 OIC (19S07A)

I was born in Singapore to South Korean parents. My mum came from Seoul, while my dad’s hometown was Busan. However, a large part of my extended family lives in South Korea, hence my family goes back to South Korea yearly to visit our extended family. One of my favorite parts during my yearly visits would be seeing my grandmother and enjoying her delicious food (SHE IS AMAZING WITH FOOD). Other than that, it just feels really good to see your younger cousins grow older (and taller than you cuz they got the true Korean genes and you didn’t). Anyways, in terms of culture, I would say that Korea has its own distinctive brand of history and traditions. For example, we have our own traditional cuisine, attire, and our own distinct language. Considering how South Korea has enjoyed a history of over 600 years, yes that is 600 years of culture. Well, although much of our culture has been overshadowed by the Hallyu in recent years, I think that one can try to check out our culture (it is interesting :D). - Hwang Joon Ha (20A01A)
