The Chic Home: ‘Petit Paris' in Tampines HDB maisonette
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox Home to a family of three, this maisonette was inspired by residences in the French capital. SINGAPORE – This French-style home belongs to married couple Ronald Wan and Rachel Ong, who love travel and based their Tampines home on apartments they saw in Paris. As a former fashion blogger, Ms Ong – who is 34 and an assistant marketing director – loves the style of the French capital and wanted to reflect this in the interior of their 1,679 sq ft Housing Board executive maisonette. Like many Parisian apartments, their flat is decked out in shades of white and cream. 'A lot of Parisian apartments and houses are in either cream or pastel tones, which look elegant, chic and timeless,' says Mr Wan, a 41-year-old content strategy lead. They chose The Merry Men Interiors to overhaul the unit, as they had a positive experience working with the local interior design firm on their first home. 'The interior theme is a contemporary take on the classic French villa reimagined through an Asian understanding of the style, and adapted to the specific materials, resources and construction methods available in Singapore,' says Mr Douglas Choo, one of the firm's co-founders.

As the balcony faces west, the afternoon sun gives the room a warm and welcoming glow. When bathed in this golden light, the Japanese Everfresh tree in the balcony looks enchanting. The kitchen island is a space for the home owners to have quick meals or prepare food.

The staircase's glass balustrade makes the space resemble an art gallery. PHOTO: SPH MEDIA The all-white staircase and clear glass balustrade are eye-catching features. Accentuated by a sculptural pendant light fixture, the space resembles an art gallery. Although visitors with young children are often anxious about the stairs, the couple say it is safe, thanks to the double-layered glass panels. Wainscotting can be found throughout the home, from the living area to the master bedroom.

Together with the fluted panels behind the headboard, they add visual interest and depth to the white palette. A spacious shower compartment in the extended bathroom.

A freestanding bathtub creates a spa-like atmosphere. PHOTO: SPH MEDIA 'Self-care is important and our bathroom is our sanctuary. Merging two existing bathrooms creates a new bathroom that is spacious, open and inviting, perfect for unwinding after a long day,' says Ms Ong. Since moving into the home in August 2022, their son has been born. Despite being first-time parents, they are very laid-back, and the home reflects their approach to life. The couple's baby boy has a dedicated corner. PHOTO: SPH MEDIA The renovation took three months to complete and cost $164,000.

YouTube's Lofi Girl finally finishes homework and ‘graduates' after 8 years
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox Jade, better known as Lofi Girl, announced that she had finally graduated on July 30. An online personality that has accompanied millions across the globe through hours of study, work and chill sessions has finally finished her homework. Jade, better known as Lofi Girl, the face of the popular French YouTube channel of the same name, announced on X on July 30 that she had finally graduated. In a video animation, Jade is holding up a laptop with the words 'The End' on the screen. Initially in her signature red and green outfit with headphones, she is seen donning a navy-coloured graduation gown and mortarboard once the laptop is shut . 'Finally finished with all my homework. I don't know what I learned, but I know I'm done learning.' she laughs, recreating the dialogue from a a teen sitcom that has become a trend on TikTok. Since its inception in 2015, the YouTube channel has amassed more than 15 million subscribers, racking up more than a billion views through its videos – the most popular of which is the constantly-running 'lofi hip hop radio beats to relax/study to' stream, which features Jade in an animation loop over music. Fans were quick to congratulate her on her graduation. 'All of that studying paid off! Congrats' said live-streaming site Twitch . Top stories Swipe. Select. Stay informed.

It is unclear what this may mean for the future of the channel. So far, despite her graduation, it seems to be business as usual on the popular stream, with Jade still doing what she has done for the past eight years: Writing in her notebook and occasionally looking out the window as her cat lounges beside her, through a never-ending stream of lo-fi music. Lofi Girl first appeared in her first iteration in November 2017, while the channel was still known as ChilledCow. Although the channel's most famous videos are the 24/7 lo-fi streams, it also features short animation clips. Lo-fi music, according to Forbes , has roots dating back to the 1960s, but is best known today as a 'subgenre of downtempo electronic music containing hip-hop beats with a relaxed aesthetic'. The Lofi Girl channel has cemented its place in pop culture, with myriad of memes inspired by its content. A multitude of similar streams - which include a central animation looping as lo-fi music plays - have spawned on YouTube and other video streaming platforms. Lofi Girl has even found her way into politics. In the 2019 UK general election, the Conservatives YouTube channel released a video featuring then-prime minister Boris Johnson titled 'lo fi boriswave beats to relax/get brexit done to'. Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te in 2023 called for members of the public to submit their lo-fi music for his '2024 Healing Music Submission Project' , describing the subgenre as 'an essential healing companion for modern people'. His channel, called Lofi on Lai, features 'healing, vocal-free versions of the Democratic Progressive Party's presidential campaign songs from 1996 to 2024'.
