How do we find a community of our own despite the pains of adulting and why is it so important for us to feel belonged?


In this episode, Singaporean musician Aarika Lee tells host See Kai Wen her inspiration and journey in starting the viral community choir Sing Song Social Club, which has grown from 30 to 400 participants in less than two years. 

Silver enjoyed a record rally in 2025 but crashed early in 2026. Is it still a good investment?
