A Trip Down to the Eurasian Association
Filmmakers: Gwen Koh and Sun Yang
Synopsis:
Europe's imprint on Singapore has not been limited to Singapore's relatively short history of fifty years. Before Singapore's independence, she had been a trading port for both the Eastern and Western worlds. Having been a notable presence since Singapore's founding in 1819, Europe now has many significant connections with Singapore, one of which would be through the descendants’ early European settlers left behind -- the Eurasian people of Singapore. In this short documentary, we explore a little of Singapore's history, and visit the Eurasian Association at 139 Ceylon Road to find out more about this lineage of people who carry the bloodline of both East and West.
Flower Times would like to express its heartfelt appreciation for the people at Eurasian Community House, Quentin's Restaraunt & the SeanElijah band for providing premises and time towards the filming of this documentary.

Traditional Eurasian Dance in Singapore
Performed at Eurasian Society in Singapore
Eurasian Association Dance - Jinkli Nona
The Eurasian Association at Ceylon Road is home to the Eurasian Heritage Centre, which showcases the history, lifestyle and culture of Eurasians in Singapore. Special galleries also trace the genealogy of different Eurasian groups and recount the community's experiences during World War Two. A Eurasian is a person with a European and Asian mix. The three main European influences since the 16th century are the Portuguese who arrived in Malacca in 1511, the Dutch and the British.
We had a Eurasian Heritage tour. At the end, some youth dancers of the Eurasian Association performed for us. This dance is the 'Jinkli Nona', which means 'Fair Maiden' and is about a man wanting to marry a woman. This Portuguese Eurasian folk song is usually danced at weddings where young people can get to know each other.

Singapore's Peranakan Indians: A Vanishing Culture Revealed | CNA Insider
The Chetti (or Chitty) Melaka come from Hindu roots, but honour Buddha, Jesus and other religions. They mark the Chinese Qingming festival. Their language is a creole: Malay patois mixed with Chinese dialect and Tamil.
Meet the Peranakan Indians of Singapore and Malaysia, whose ancestors were traders from Tamil Nadu who settled in Melaka in the 14th century - and whose culture is in danger of dying out today. (Learn more at an exhibition on the Straits Indians at the Indian Heritage Centre, now on until May 2019.)

继早前的欧亚裔人士协会以及印度传统文化馆之旅圆满举行后,宗乡总会再度举办第三场文化之旅。这次于2015年10月18日(星期日)上午,组团前往参观坐落于芽笼的哈迪杰回教堂 (Khadijah Mosque) ,感受丰富的伊斯兰文明。
Following the success of the “Clan Association Visits”, SFCCA decides to extend the scope to heritage sites of Singapore’s four largest ethnic communities, namely the Chinese (Foo Hai Ch’an Monastery), the Malays (Khadijah Mosque), the Indians (Indian Heritage Centre) and the Eurasians (The Eurasian Community House).
City Square Mall Singapore One of the Top 5 must visited Tourist Spots
City Square Mall Singapore One of the Top 5 must visited Tourist Spots
City Square Mall, located at the junction of Serangoon and Kitchener Roads, sits on the site of Singapore's historic New World Park. Having close proximity to Little India, one of the Top 5 must-see tourist spots, with direct connection to Farrer Park MRT station, it hopes to attract both local and tourist shoppers.
Singapore is a sovereign city-state and island country in Southeast Asia. Singapore is a small, heavily urbanised, island city-state in Southeast Asia, located at the end of the Malayan Peninsula between Malaysia and Indonesia. Singapore consists of 63 islands, Jurong Island, Pulau Tekong, Pulau Ubin and Sentosa are the largest of Singapore's smaller islands. The highest natural point is Bukit Timah Hill.
The wildlife of Singapore is surprisingly diverse despite its rapid urbanisation. The majority of fauna that still remains on the island exists in various nature reserves such as the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve and the Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve.
Singapore's well known gardens include the Singapore Botanic Gardens, a 150-year-old tropical garden and Singapore's first UNESCO World Heritage Site, and Gardens by the Bay, a popular tourist attraction.
Singapore has a tropical rainforest climate with no distinctive seasons, uniform temperature and pressure, high humidity, and abundant rainfall. Temperatures usually range from 22 to 35 °C. While temperature does not vary greatly throughout the year, there is a wetter monsoon season from November to January.
Transport within Singapore is mainly land-based. Many part of Singapore, including islands such as Sentosa and Jurong Island are accessible by road. The other major form of transportation within Singapore is MRT. The main island of Singapore is connected to the other islands by ferryboat services. There are two bridges which link Singapore to Malaysia. There is also a system of bus routes throughout the island, most of which have air conditioning units installed due to Singapore's tropical climate. Besides cash, a contactless smart card called the EZ-Link card can be used to pay bus and MRT fares. Public transport for tourists by Singapore Tourism Board and EZ-Link, the Singapore Tourist Pass offers unlimited travel for tourists to Singapore on Singapore's public transport system. For S$10 a day or S$20 for 3 days, and with S$10 deposit, tourists can take any number of rides on buses and trains operated by SBS Transit, MRT Buses and MRT Trains. The Singapore Cable Car, plies between Mount Faber on the main island of Singapore and the resort island of Sentosa.
The culture of Singapore is a combination of Asian and European cultures. Influenced by Malay, South Asian, East Asian, and Eurasian cultures, Singapore has been dubbed as a country where East meets West, Easy Asia and Garden city.
Singaporean cuisine is diverse and contains elements derived from several ethnic groups, as a result of its history as a seaport with a large immigrant population. Influences include the cuisines of the native Malays, the largest ethnic group, the Chinese and the third largest ethnic group, the Indians as well as Indonesian, Peranakan a mix of Chinese and Malay cuisine and Western traditions. Influences from other regions such as Sri Lanka, Thailand and the Middle East are also present.
Singapore has four official languages: English, Malay, Chinese, and Tamil.

Eurasian family in Singapore - The D'Rozarios' Story - Part One
** Note to self: Don't let your talents eat while filming. Look like goats munching. :D
This is going to be the start of a collection of interviews about their past & present stories... Hopefully, this recorded collection will be passed down from generation to generation to see. I will try to keep copies of these videos at different locations in case this site goes down in the many years to come.

This Family’s 100-year-old Thunder Tea Rice Recipe
Ever tried drenching your rice in a hot broth of tea? Sounds strange? But for the Wong family, that's exactly how they love to have their meals. The family gathers twice a month to cook and eat thunder tea rice together, using the same recipe that has been passed down three generations.
Thunder Tea Rice, also known as Lei Cha, is a traditional Hakka dish that consists of a hearty serving of rice, chopped vegetables, tofu, peanuts and a huge bowl of fragrant tea. PS. If you still need more convincing to dig in, the Wong sisters swear by the dish's slimming properties!
