It drags you into complexity and expects you to keep up. And so, here I am — reading IPCC footnotes on a Sunday and decoding synthetic biology startups on a Tuesday. It’s humbling. It’s thrilling.

I visited Singapore in November 2024, and it felt like a full-circle moment as I explored the biophilic designs in person at Jewel Changi Airport, Gardens by the Bay, and Hotel Oasia. The staff at Hotel Oasia kindly allowed me to tour their property. I am keen on exploring the startup scene in Singapore as well as the experiences the country offers to educate people on sustainable living—ecofarms, upcycling workshops, bicycle tours and more—and visit the Tengah Ecotown and Johor Bahru's Ghost City while I am at it!
