Singapore today is one of the safest countries in the world—consistently landing in the top 10 on global safety rankings. Many assume it’s because the country is incredibly rich. And that’s not wrong. Singapore is currently the second richest country in the world by GDP per capita, and its citizens don’t even pay capital gains tax. If you invested $100 and turned it into a million dollars, you’d owe nothing in taxes.

If you’ve ever spent time in the Philippines or around Filipinos, you may have noticed a rather unique cultural habit: commenting on someone’s weight. It’s a common practice, and you’ll likely hear things like, “Ang payat mo!” (You’re so thin!) or “Ang taba mo!” (You’re so fat!) tossed around during family gatherings or casual conversations. At first glance, these comments might seem a bit surprising, but in Filipino culture, they’re just another part of the conversation.

Make no mistake, Suga is a warm, sweet, thoughtful friend hiding behind a level 12 resting SAVAGE face. But if there’s anything episodes 16 to 20 of Suchwita proved, it’s that his brain is sharp, maddeningly deep, and packed with insights you could easily miss if you’re not really listening.

Suga has a way of steering conversations that somehow feels chill and deep at the same time. In episodes 11 to 15 of Suchwita, guests didn’t just drop by to chat—they opened up about their doubts, regrets, and insecurities. From top-tier actors to fellow BTS members, they shared things that don’t usually make it to the camera. And Suga? He responded with quiet grace, a sharp mind, and just the right amount of humor.

Released in 2011, SuckSeed is a Thai coming-of-age film that captures the highs and lows of teenage life without trying too hard. At first glance, it looks like a typical high school comedy—awkward jokes, young love, and the classic “let’s start a band” storyline. But underneath its lighthearted surface is a genuine portrayal of adolescence that manages to be both funny and surprisingly moving.

If there’s one phrase that sums up The Rose’s music, it’s this: silent but deep. Their songs don’t scream for attention. They don’t rely on flashy riffs or dramatic screams. Instead, they whisper, nudge, and somehow still manage to hit you right in the heart. There’s a gentleness in their melodies, lyrics, and beats. Nothing feels forced. Nothing goes louder or higher than necessary. And while that level of precision can feel calculated, all it takes is the breaking of Woosung’s voice or a verse that stumbles perfectly out of rhythm—and you realize, they’re not calculated at all.

Thailand might just be the happiest place on Earth—and no, that’s not an exaggeration. If you’ve ever visited, you’ll know exactly what that means. There’s something about the way Thai people smile, the softness in their gaze, the kindness in their tone. It’s not just friendliness—it’s a whole vibe. And that vibe? It has a name: sanuk.
