New Zealand High Commission: A diplomatic match

Here at the New Zealand High Commission, we work hard, but we also know how to play hard!

One example of this is the inaugural Diplomatic Community Mixed Netball Tournament which took place in March at Tanglin Trust Sports Hall. Our friends at the British High Commission organised a fantastic Sunday morning of sport comprising six teams made up from the UK High Commission, Australian High Commission, NZ High Commission, and a mix of players from Singapore’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Trade and Industry.

Beset by injuries, international travel, family commitments (and perhaps an ingrained fear of the three second rule), our mighty team comprised representatives across the High Commission, Defence Force, Education NZ and the Asia NZ Foundation, along with Kiwi friends and whānau – truly a NZ Inc effort.

While everyone on our team had played before, for some senior members this meant pulling out high school moves we thought were many years behind us. Thankfully, there were a few young’uns from the community helping us out, too.

We loved getting on the court, building closer relationships and connections with everyone involved. While NZ were not victorious this time, everyone gave it their all. A big shout out goes to Frankie Burrowes, 11, daughter of Ben Burrowes from Education NZ, who took a knock to her hand but continued to bravely soldier on after a spot of First Aid.

The pizza afterwards rounded off a thoroughly enjoyable morning with lots of laughs and camaraderie. We already look forward to next year’s event – watch out Australia, we’re coming for you and the cup!

Congratulations New Zealand! A double win at HSBC Rugby 7s

A thrilling finals day took place at the Singapore National Stadium on Sunday as the world watched both the men’s and women’s HSBC SVNS finals.

Through rain and (lots of) shine, it was a day of high drama, emotion and action with the New Zealand Black Ferns Sevens not only overcoming arch rivals Australia in the Singapore Sevens final, but also securing the Sevens series title overall.

With players including Dylan Collier, Brady Rush, and Andrew Knewstubb, New Zealand All Blacks Sevens took on Ireland edging them 17-14 to clinch their second consecutive Singapore SVNS title and making it a double delight for New Zealand on the day.

Argentina, despite placing fifth in Singapore, held on to clinch their first regular-season title in the global sevens series.

Really proud

New Zealand Black Ferns came out 31-21 victors against Australia in a straight shootout to be crowned SVNS League Winners 2024 and the first-ever women’s HSBC SVNS Singapore champions.

Australia could not hold back the Black Ferns performance, including a hat-trick from Michaela Blyde, their fourth successive tournament gold confirming their place at the top of the regular season standings.

Blyde said: “It means a lot! The beginning of the season was a little bit rocky for us, so we didn’t want to think too far ahead for this tournament but Singapore has just brought incredible vibes and to come away with the Singapore title and the league winners is really special.”

She continues,“We’ve just been taking it game by game, we wanted to make sure that we treated every game like it was our last and I think we did do that. There were some times when we were inconsistent and challenged, but we were able to turn that around and gain the momentum back. To sum it up, I’m really proud.”

This Singapore school recognises the power of pets

  •  Sponsored Content 

In the vibrant heart of Singapore lies a safe and nurturing school for all children – Integrated International School (IIS). Renowned for its dedication to redefining success, IIS has recently relocated to their new campus in the heart of the CBD, marking a significant milestone in their commitment to providing comprehensive educational support. Among the school’s array of features, such as high teacher-to-student ratios, smaller class sizes, and personalised in-house support, one standout initiative speaks volumes about their dedication to student health and wellbeing – Petopia.

Petopia isn’t just a room; it’s a sanctuary where furry companions become partners in education and emotional support. Situated within the new campus, this unique space is dedicated to Pet Assisted Therapy, a scientifically proven method of enhancing mental health and learning outcomes. Under the guidance of trained facilitators, students at IIS interact with animals, fostering a sense of comfort, companionship, and emotional resilience in the heart of the bustling city.

Why pet therapy matters

In today’s fast-paced world, students face challenges ranging from academic stress to social pressures. Recognising the need for holistic support, IIS has embraced Pet Assisted Therapy as an integral part of its approach to education. Studies have shown that interactions with animals can significantly reduce stress, anxiety, and feelings of isolation. Moreover, the presence of therapy animals has been linked to improved school attendance, concentration, motivation, and overall feelings of wellbeing.

Benefits for students

Students eagerly anticipate their visits with the pets, whether it’s cuddling a therapy dog or observing the graceful movements of our in-house cockatiels and fish, and funny antics of our hamster! These interactions offer a welcome respite from the rigours of academic life, allowing students to recharge and refocus. However, the benefits extend far beyond momentary relaxation. Through Pet Assisted Therapy, students learn valuable life skills, such as empathy, responsibility, and communication, shaping them into empathetic and socially conscious individuals.

Catalyst for success

Contrary to conventional wisdom, prioritising wellbeing doesn’t come at the expense of academic achievement – it enhances it. As Dr. Vanessa von Auer, the school’s founder and clinical psychologist explains, such interactions result in increased levels of serotonin and oxytocin, creating a surge of positive emotions and boosting students’ moods. Research has shown that emotional wellbeing is closely linked to academic performance. When students feel safe, supported, valued and emotionally secure, they are better able to engage in learning and achieve their full potential.

Integrated International School’s Petopia stands as a testament to their commitment to providing a holistic education that nurtures both mind and heart. With student wellbeing at the forefront, teachers are empowered to exercise flexibility in lesson planning to adapt to individual learning styles. In turn, they become proactive participants in each student’s day-to-day school life and learning journey.

Winning in Aussie spirit for ANZA Cricket!

One used and worn ANZA Cricket Team up for grabs! Having lost both the Australia versus India Social T30 & T20 at the beginning of the year, the results may not have been brilliant, but at least we now have 364 days to rebuild and perhaps rethink our game plan! Playing on 26 January which marks Australia Day and India Independence Day, we hoped the auspicious timing would bring us some extra good luck, but no. Our thinking is now “change the date”, get your company to sponsor us (yippee!) or – dear readers – please come and join us and show us how it’s done! Everyone is welcome to join ANZA Cricket and we’ll gladly take new recruits to NETs and let them loose on the playground. Contact info@anza.org.sg for more details.

Recruits from AIS battled alongside the oldies in the premier game on Australia Day

Cricket Superstar Hits the Padang

ANZA Cricket had the unique opportunity to play alongside Australian cricket legend, Nathan Hauritz. The former player, who has represented Australia in Tests, Twenty20 Internationals, and 58 ODI’s for Australia, came to Singapore to experience one of most picturesque grounds in the world, the Padang. Singapore Cricket Club brought out the ring-ins, whilst ANZA accompanied Nathan with some of our best talkers. The end result: SCC 289 in 30 overs. ANZA not as many, but a great day out!

NETs stuff to know

NETs kick off each Wednesday at The Cage Sports Park, Kallang from 7pm. We assemble 5 – 10 people through our WhatsApp chat to roll the arm over. It’s not a problem if you don’t want to play games, don’t have equipment, and/or just want to do NETs. They are social NETs and everyone is welcome.

SCC Youth Development

As yet, ANZA doesn’t run a junior team, but Singapore Cricket Club offers a youth development programme for kids aged 5 -10. With a variety of sessions running weekends and mid-week, the Cubs Cricket environment is “all about fun and enjoyment through our brilliant game.” To find out more contact David Bennett at JuniorCricket@scccricket.com

Cricket is delighted to welcome Spark Plus as the new league sponsor.

Introduction to Singlish Tuesday 21 May

Lah, leh, lor, liao, la. We hear these words in Singapore constantly, but few of us understand what they really mean. Singlish is the beloved vernacular of our little red dot. Once maligned by the government, Singaporeans who are usually very compliant refuse to let it go! And we can see why because Singlish is now celebrated, loved, and used around the island to connect with the people. Come and join us for an introductory lesson in Singlish where our regular guide Charlotte Chu and her sidekick, Victor, will have a series of short conversations using Singlish in different contexts. At the end of this fun lesson, you’ll take a short walk and get the chance to practise your Singlish by ordering your own kopi or teh (included in cost). Come la!

Date: Tuesday 21 May

Time : 10:00am – 12:00pm

Meet: 9.50 at the ANZA Office, 261A Beach Road, 199541

Cost: $40 ANZA Member, $45 Non-Member

Hamilton the musical arrives in Singapore!

If you haven’t seen it already, you’ve likely heard of the critically acclaimed, multi-award-winning musical, Hamilton. As shows go, every opening of Hamilton around the globe has been ridiculously big, garnering tremendous reviews and endless hype since it kicked off on New York’s Broadway in 2015, London’s West End in 2017, and in Australia and New Zealand in 2021.

After much anticipation, Hamilton finally debuts in Singapore thanks to Base Entertainment Asia at Marina Bay Sands’ Sands Theatre, and marks the musical’s first international tour.

Hip hop music

First things first, Lin-Manuel Miranda’s musical is about Alexander Hamilton, America’s Founding Father and the first secretary of the US Treasury. An immigrant from the West Indies, he became George Washington’s go-to during the Revolutionary War and helped shape the foundations of the America we know today. Of course, the America we know in 2024 is remowned for many different things, one of them being that it’s very good at producing hip-hop music.

Indeed, Hamilton isn’t just a musical but a ‘hip-hop musical’, and uses rap rather than traditional spoken word which immediately makes it sit-up-straight-in-your-seat captivating. You’re immersed in rhythmic speech and street vernacular from the get-go, fully invested in the verse, half digesting the info-packed dialogue, and half waiting to see if the uber-talented cast will mess up their lines. (NB:They don’t!)

Traditional musical fans needn’t worry. Alongside the genius delivery of sentences are charged emotions and melodies that resemble the more ‘timeless’ musicals we know and love. The score incorporates jazz, blues, rap, Broadway, and a smattering of ’90s-style R&B.

The live music is played by an orchestra and the lyrics are sharp as well as poignant, with each song telling a narrative and moving Hamilton’s plot forward. Favourite tunes from the ANZA office include “My Shot” (Hey yo, I’m just like my country, I’m young, scrappy, and hungry, and I’m not throwing away my shot!), “Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story” and the shoulder-shaking “The Room Where It Happens”. (Apparently 57 Maiden Lane, New York, fact fans). The choreography is on point, naturally.

Dramatic highs & lows

Back to the plot. “Alexander Hamilton” – the opening tune – sets the scene of Hamilton’s (Jason Arrow) life thus far – we learn that he’s “the orphan son of a whore and a Scotsman” (their words, not ours!) who emigrated to America when he was a teenager in 1772. The show goes on to chronicle Hamilton’s life. Along the way, we see relationships with his wife Eliza (Rachelle Ann Go); his friends John Laurens, Marquis de Lafayette (David Park) and Hercules Mulligan: and his rival Aaron Burr (DeAundre’ Woods).

There are sweeping highs and lows including a revolution, political sex scandal, blackmail and death via a duel. It’s intense stuff involving themes such as legacy, ambition, and fame, providing a gripping experience for the audience. In true modern-day style, once leaving Marina Bay Sands, we spen the night googling the actual story at home. We wished we’d swotted up on US history beforehand – a little basic knowledge would make for maximum enjoyment of the show.

Upon exiting MBS, the verdict was unanimous: Hamilton is hyped because it’s a masterpiece. Combining an eclectic array of musical genres, storytelling and history, this is a show offering an outstanding experience for history buffs, trad musical devotees and fans of a modern tune. Believe the hype and book up!

Hamilton is at Marina Bay Sands’ Sands Theatre from now until 9 June. Tickets are available for Tuesday, Wednesday evening and Sunday matinee performances at Marina Bay Sands ticketing and Sistic.

Hotspots: Fire

Embark on a culinary journey at FIRE, where traditional Argentine asado flavours meet modern innovation. Led by renowned chef Soledad Nardelli, the team combine a century of experience to craft dishes that pay homage to Argentina’s rich gastronomic heritage. This, paired with epic views of Singapore’s Orchard Road, creates an experience that truly captures the essence of Argentinean culture. 

We were presented with their impressive three-course lunch menu (S$58++). The Caramelised Artichoke Mash with Flat Bread was a fantastic start. The velvety artichoke mash, crisp flatbread, and the subtle crunch of pumpkin seeds and smoked paprika created a dance of flavours on the palate. The drizzle of extra virgin olive oil added a luxurious touch, setting the tone for the culinary delights to follow.

The Grilled Spice-Marinated Free Range Baby Chicken, with its succulent meat marinated expertly in spices, was accompanied by a luscious Truffle Potato Puree and Charred Corn. The dish featured a quintessential Green Chimichurri, adding a burst of freshness that complemented the smoky flavours of the chicken.

No Argentinean meal is complete without beef, and the Parrilla Grilled US Morgan Ranch Striploin MS 6-7 (+$30 supplement) lived up to its reputation. Cooked to perfection, it showcased the excellence of Argentinean parrilla cooking. The Herb Roasted Baby Potato and Broccolini on the side provided a delightful balance, while the Red Chimichurri added a bold and tangy kick.

Decadent fondant

To conclude, we indulged in the Warm Dark Chocolate Fondant. The decadent fondant oozed with rich chocolate, and paired flawlessly with a medley of mixed berries and a Hazelnut Crumble. The thick chocolate sauce drizzled over the dessert served as an exquisite finale.

The cocktail menus, featuring Mixologist Specials and FIRE Signature Cocktails, were irresistible. We opted for the Mixologist Specials, $26 each. The Carpe Diem, curated by Afad M, stood out with Black Tears Spiced Rum, Lemon, Fresh Raspberries, Mint, and Vanilla – a winning concoction embodying its byline: “Enjoy the moment, cherish the time and seize the day.”

From the FIRE Signature Cocktails menu, the Yerba Spritz ($23) was equally impressive, embracing its Argentinean roots with Yerba Mate Gin, Peach Moscato, Passionfruit Purée, and Thyme Maple Syrup.

The attentive service and elegant ambience of the restaurant elevated a straightforward lunch to an absolute treat. Each dish reflected the chef’s expertise and embraced the soul of Argentinean cooking. Although we chose the Set Lunch, the à la carte menu highlights some of the most classic dishes in Argentinean cuisine. Considering the remarkable condensed lunch offering, the à la carte menu at FIRE holds the promise of an immersive journey into Argentinean gastronomy. 

VERDICT: Whether you’re a food enthusiast or simply seeking a memorable dining experience with a view, FIRE hits the spot. Come here for gorgeous flavours and visual delights both on the plate, and through the surrounding panoramic vistas.
