Hi SGN Community

TGIF! You might know that Emerald Hill is a ‘gram worthy spot with lots of quaint houses and bars - but #didyouknow that it used to be a nutmeg and fruit orchard?

Established in 1837 by the acting Postmaster General William Cuppage, it was bought over by businessmen in 1900, and small pieces of the land were sold to new owners who went on to build the terrace houses and shophouses we still see today

Adorned with beautiful tiles and designs, these shophouses have cross-cultural design influences, ranging from traditional Peranakan styles to Sino-Portuguese architecture! You can even find traditional Teochew gateways and vintage cars (if you’re lucky!)

Explore the gorgeous neighbourhood of Emerald Hill and look out for the little signages along the way for tidbits and history about each of these buildings!

It is International Mother Language Day today! We hear from Jenny Chung, who, as the daughter of a Korean diplomat, fully understands the power of language to connect (especially Singlish in Singapore!) and the value of linguistic diversity.

Learn how – after never living in the same house for more than three years – she finally settled down and found a sense of home in Singapore.

Have a great week ahead!
