How to be Chinese? This April, briefly back in Singapore, I went to 扫墓, to sweep the graves of my great-great-grandfather, and his son, my great-grandfather. For so much of my life, I grew up thinking I was a fake Chinese: I could not speak Mandarin properly; nor did I know the rituals or Necessary Words. Classics? Confucius? I hid my ignorance behind an ironic indifference. What did it matter, I asked, if I did not have my heritage? Why did I need it, anyway? But yearning can wait like a river running beneath the soil, the soul. We long to join our fractionated selves to greater imagined wholes. Being in Hawaii has allowed me to reflect more on my kupuna (ancestors) and aumakua (family gods), and to think of the generations who came before me, who are always with me in my work. What a privilege! To have been able to rediscover the names of my roots; that my roots go deep into the wet earth of this land. Long have I yearned to harken to my Hokkienness; to tell my Ah Kong, so many years passed: I wish I had learned more of your stories. We perform our pieties and our pasts imperfectly, but maybe it has always been so. Maybe it is the heart, striving that is more important. In coming to light some incense, we are saying: we want to remember. To be pieced into traditions and practices, going back oceans and centuries. And now, with Wikipedia, Google, some curiosity and tenacity, I know the name of my Lao Kong: 朱蕴瑜,who was once 石花. Born in XiPu Town, from Dongshan County, he came to Singapore and had four sons, whose oldest became my grandfather, Eng Chiang. What a serious thing, even in the imagination, to know I come from somewhere older. To (even if slowly, even if clumsily; even if in a different dialect) read a stone and speak the name of your great-grandfather. To entwine myself to trees already old in my grandfather's time. How to be Chinese? What are roots anyway? Maybe it was never about Culture, or Economic Opportunity, or disembodied ideas like Heritage. Maybe it has always only been about this strange, small yearning. This longing to say: Ah Kong, I see now how I am also part of this story; your story, which is also mine

Eid Mubarak! To our dear friends celebrating the festival, we wish you Selamat Hari Raya Puasa, and a heartfelt Eid Mubarak! As the Ramadan season comes to a close, we hope it has been a time of blessings, reflection, and cherished moments with loved ones. While we celebrate this joyous occasion, we are proud to have been able to share about the essence of the Ramadan season in multi-culture Singapore. Strolling through Kampong Glam during this month took on additional weight and significance for us. We were happy to show off the Ramadan Bazaars, but even prouder to be able to talk about the significance of fasting to our friends from all around the world. #ProudlySingaporean

as the skies clear, and the clouds part, all of time stands still in that one moment.

Coming home is very strange, especially once you have come home from another home. Especially if America is everyday now. Especially if you've grown used to speaking in the slower tongue of a foreign land, and learned to stow your accent away somewhat (what accent? I am Singaporean, I have always spoken like this. It's the Eurrropeans and the Amurrricans who speakk with theirrr strrraaange ahhkcents). Especially if you have spent weeks listening humbly to your classmates from Southeast Asia. Especially if you've realized how your privilege and fortune runs so much deeper than you ever realized. Especially now you know that even coming home is such a privilege. Especially if you've wrestled with the frightening, fourth-world jungle that is the American tax system, or its healthcare system, or its airlines. Especially if you've begun to realize how much cruder and ruthless the world can be. Coming home? Coming home can be very strange. Momentarily, until the myopia of complacent normality asserts itself again, everything is double-visioned. You learn to love your country like a foreigner. You see through the eyes of the American you are slowly acculturating into. You see heartland aunties, migrant workers, your own Ahma, as (that strange angmo term) "Asian". You marvel that for all its problems, the SG education system provides so much for so many, gifted you with a global confidence. You have savings. You can PayNow your taxes. You only wait 10mins for the SBS bus. So many ppl live proudly in public housing. The streets are walkable, so green, don't smell of piss. Gahmen actually gives a shit. There are trusting cats. Chili padi and garlic is always within reach. So much within reach. Things taste tasty. You can afford outside food. You can afford to be relaxed. Maybe it is not double-vision, then. Maybe I've just been away awhile, and seen more clearly from outside, this safe clean bubble that is my Singaporeanity. Maybe I have simply found new reasons to miss my home, Hawaii heightening my nostalgia. Maybe i am weary of alien paperwork, and being a stranger in strange lands, even inside myself. Maybe, just maybe, I am simply glad to be back.
