Arts and Culture
Our activities can help you cultivate a passion for Asian arts and culture. We explore different topics such as appreciating Peranakan tiles and jewelry, hands-on workshops, intimate studio tours by local artists.
We like to spotlight various Asian cultures each year, thus making for some fun-filled activities. Experiencing the rich heritage of our surrounding countries gives us a chance to appreciate the wonders that lie not far from our door.

Book Groups
AWA currently has several book groups that each meet once a month on different days and times. Our traditional style groups allow you the opportunity to meet other women and to participate in regular discussion of books. Book Group members decide on the books to read in advance so that everyone has ample time to obtain and read them.
Attendance: As our book groups are often oversubscribed, we ask that you only register for a group if you can attend regularly. If you have registered but you miss three meetings in a row, we will sadly have to cancel your registration to allow another member to participate.
We arrange our meetings and chat via a members only WhatsApp group (renewed annually).

This social group meets once a month to watch a movie together and then go for lunch to engage in lively discussions, sharing thoughts and insights. You can check the calendar or below to see the next date for our movie.
We’ll meet at Shaw Theatres Lido 15-20 minutes before the start of the movie to purchase our tickets with seats near each other, afterwards, we’ll walk to a nearby place for lunch. (As movie schedules are released late, we do not know what movie we will watch until the previous week.)
Money is not collected by the AWA. Everyone will cover their own costs for the movie ticket and lunch.
