While visiting family in Boston for the weekend‚ I returned to the Museum of Fine Arts. I came upon another of John Singer Sargent’s works‚ Daughters of Edward Darley Boit. The composition of the painting intrigued me; and so I have chosen to write about the piece.

Kiasu-ism - a Singaporean culture? Edward B. Tyler defines culture as “the complex whole which includes … and any other capabilities and habits acquired by man (and woman) as a member of society”. In this sense‚ I think Kiasu-ism can be defined as a Singaporean culture. “Kiasu” is a word‚ though commonly used in many Asian countries‚ applies most to the Singaporean context and‚ often‚ one of the first few words that foreigners pick up in Singapore.
