» Singaporean artist Heman Chong is a bricoleur. He does not care about the purity of a system and uses materials at hand for creation without regard to their original purpose. It comes as no surprise then his solo exhibition's title declares such provisionality -- "This Is A Dynamic List And May Never Be Able To Satisfy Particular Standards For Completeness."

» Zhang Zhanzhan, a Chinese contemporary artist, recently held his inaugural solo exhibition "Beyond The Last Miles" in Bangkok. The exhibition is described as a journey of life which is often solitary and stretches endlessly. As people walk alone, they learn to find contentment in their solitude, their character strengthens, but their hearts become soft and sincere. Through his art, Zhang captures fleeting moments within the river of time, encapsulating warmth, hope and resilience that allows viewers to get to know their former selves.

» In the southwest of Phnom Penh lies the region's largest surviving rainforest. After landing, I met other travel companions to spend three nights together at a riverside camp. We were split into two vans and headed for Sihanoukville. Downtown shophouses and heavy traffic gave way to lush scenery. No sooner had the hustle faded into the distance than rice paddies, palm trees and mountains came into sight. Here, Cambodia's nature remains undisturbed. In more or less two hours, we arrived at the camp depot.

To illustrate the transient nature of Bangkok, for better or worse, Guru has listed historic landmarks that are to be closed, are at stake or have been reborn.

» Thailand can be dubbed the land of kuay tio (Chinese noodle) dishes. But we know very little about how they came into existence. It is known that kuay tio nuea (beef noodle soup) was created about a century ago in Chinatown, where a large number of migrant Chinese workers sold their cheap labour loading goods using their bare shoulders or pulled carts. Homeless and desperate, they took refuge in temporary shelters or storage warehouses at night. They went for the cheapest food, which was boiled pig or cow intestines with steamed rice. Peddlers sold the food in front of an opium den, where many labourers went to sleep at night after eating dinner.
