In this lively storytelling session, author Ling Yuan brings the story to life through dramatic readings and illustrated slides. Children are taken on a whirlwind adventure through surreal local scenes—from a bandung flood in a colourful corridor, to a Singlish-speaking tuition centre, a Mad Kopi Party, and even a Meet-the-MP session like no other.
The session wraps up with an interactive Q&A, inviting children to explore the story, the creative process, and the hidden whimsy in everyday Singapore life.
What if Alice’s wonderland wasn’t down a rabbit hole in Victorian England, but right here in Singapore—in the void decks, corridors, and neighbourhood spaces we pass through every day?
Strange Morning in Merlion Town is a contemporary Singaporean reimagining of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland that puts the whimsy and wonder in familiar neighbourhood spaces and everyday experiences.
