Always had a crush or two for 80s Singapore.

I had Madari, who is the most wonderful, trusted and accommodating assistant, and Rifani and Olga, who are absolutely deeply in love.
We certainly weren’t working in comfortable temperatures so my mind was working ahead of locations all the time, who...
