SG50 Documentary Film ‘Hunt for the Red Lion’ hopes to convince Singaporeans
that our nation’s history is not dull, but a dynamic and interesting subject with various possible versions.


This 30-minute film, which is initiated by two Singaporeans Eric Ng and Elango s/o Athiramulahi
Letchumana, hopes to present different interpretation of history of Singapore. The film suggests that
ancient Singapore had a tradition of multi-cultural communities.


‘Hunt for the red Lion’, produced by Oak 3 Film Pte Ltd, will explore the possible alternatives to what Sang Nila Utama could have possibly seen when he first set foot on Temasek Shores. The film compares and contrasts the various versions of history from the Malay Annals, Chinese source materials and even Indonesian source materials.


Recent studies indicate that lions have never lived in Singapore. Some historians believe that the beast seen by Sang Nila Utama was probably a tiger, most likely to be the Malayan Tiger. More astoundingly, thisfilm further suggests that it could have been a Chinese lion dance instead. This interpretation hence implies that there were both Chinese and Malays living in Temasek before Sang Nila Utama arrived.


Eric Ng, the researcher and initiator of this film said ‘The Malay annals described the animal as a ‘Lion’ with a red body and black head. However there is no red lion anywhere in the world. One Possibility is that it was a Chinese lion dance. It fits the description of a creature dressed in red coat, its head decorated with large black balls (eyes) and long black tassles (eyebrow, eyelashes, beard and mane).


Eric Ng added ‘Every year, our National Day displays a Sang Nila Utama who spied the white beaches across the sea and was told that it was Temasek. I felt that majority of Singaporeans find it difficult to identify with this legend as it focuses on a spoilt rich kid out to idle his time away. Our investigation explores whether Singapore had a mixed community of Malays and Chinese (and perhaps other races), prior to Sang Nila Utama’s arrival. I hope such open ended journey of enquiry will enable more people to find a version of history that they can identify with’.

Oak 3 Films, a production company was engaged to film the 30-minute Documentary. The production crew went to Kuala Lumpur in August 2015 to film the documentary. Post-production took four weeks that took into account changes in script and even changes in script writer. The Director and Producer of the film are namely Ms Lim Suat Yen and Mr Jason Lai . This film was supported by MCCY under the SG50 celebration Opinions and views from notable academics and researchers such as Professor Kwa Chong Guan and Professor Miksic were sought and studied in this film.

The film debuts today and will be showcased in several public events and activities.

I’m sure you guys are familiar with Kinohimitsu! The brand that is famous for their Collagen
drink (which I super love it!). But today I shall share with you guys my new love- Kinohimitsu
MACA Men!

Summary of my life

I have a day job at The Influencer Network as a Assistant Director and I also run a personal
blog at http://onlywilliam.blogspot.sg. My day job required me to meet up with many
people, discussion with my team to come up with interesting proposal and ideas for my
clients.

Sometime after several meetings at work, I still carry on to attend events for my blog. Well I
know I have a choice to go home and rest, but because blogging is like my hobbies and it
had become part of me. I want to keep my blog active and my viewership healthy (with
about 150k views per month average now).

Some of my friends and followers actually commented on my Instagram account
http://instagram.com/william82sg that I have a great lifestyle and I travelled a lot, always seen enjoying good food and lot of staycations! But honestly speaking most of the time I am actually working and very little enjoyment. Like in the recent months, I tend to post more video on Instagram too because I feel that video can allow my followers to see more rather than just a still photo. Videos required editing and time consuming I know, but whenever I see the likes and comments on the video, I feel really happy that my followers are appreciating it and it motivate me do more videos.

I am very passionate about my work and my blogging. Whenever I go on a sponsored trip, I
spent a lot of time taking photo and taking down note about my travel experience.
Sometime while on my trip, I still have to check on my office’s emails and also do some
follow up with my clients on certain campaigns. And all this required a lot of concentration!
My sleeping hours are usually after midnight around 1am. As you can tell from the busy
lifestyle that I am having, I don’t really have much energy to go on for my gym or run.
Keeping myself fit and better shapes has always been a concern for my over the year!

Recently went to try out the Carbon Laser Peel at South Bridge Aesthetics Clinic(SBA) and it was totally fantastic!!! My skin have always been dull looking and also dehydrated, making me look lethargic and tired. I also do have acne scars on my face that have been troubling me for years since high school making me a low self-esteem person.

Glad that I found SBA and the great solutions to my skin.

South Bridge Aesthetics clinic is nestled in the heart of the Chinatown tourist district, located on the fringe of the Central Business District and sandwiched between major tourist attractions like the Sri Mariamman temple, Fo Ya Si Temple and Chinatown Food Street.

The clinic’s chic minimalist interiors lends a soothing touch to the patients’ frenzied nerves, and a perfect location for friends to come for treatments together.

Consultation with Dr Winston Lee


DR WINSTON LEE, M.B.B.S (NUS), MCEM (UK), MPH (NUS)

Dr Winston Lee received his medical degree from the National University of Singapore, and having completed his hospital rotations, has chosen to embark on his quest to provide affordably priced non-invasive treatments for the general public who to-date have found Thermage and Ultherapy beyond their budget. He has undertaken training in the procedural protocols for the treatments and will be able to provide good standards of therapy for the clients of SBA Clinic.

So, after the consultation, I was brought to the treatment room and the treatment begins. Comfy treatment bed.
 

Cleansing in progress.


After cleansing, carbon mask was put on and will leave it to dry for about 15-20 mins.


Here it goes!!!

 
See video here on the process!!

Lets see the end result!!!

Before

After

REVIEW

I am so loving this treatment. It helps to tighten my pores and also reduce my acne scar marks. My skin now look brighter and also cleaner. To my surprise, there is no downtime for this procedure. Most of busy working adults that work around Chinatown area will actually come during lunch time for their treatment and go back to work after the treatment as it takes less than 30 mins to complete the whole process. 
I am overwhelmed by the visible result on the first treatment and will definitely go back to them for more. You may think that it may cost you a bomb for treatment like this, you are wrong!! South Bridge Aesthetics Clinics offers reasonable and affordable prices for most of their treatments. Over at SBA they are giving 5 sessions at $600 (which mean each session is only $120)! 

PROMOTION
Simply quote " OnlyWilliam" to enjoy 15% off a la carte price of Carbon Laser Peel 
for the month of November.
