Unseen/Unsaid: Horseman (Episode 10) from Rediscover SG on Vimeo.
Without realizing it, 10 weeks have come and gone since we first launched the Unseen/Unsaid series. The journey has been eventful, and most importantly, personally fulfilling for us as storytellers on a mission. This is our modest attempt to freeze a slice of home as we know it now, before it once again becomes merely a memory, as it often quickly does in land scarce Singapore.
We hope you have enjoyed the journey with us. If you have stories to tell, memories to share about the people and places we've covered in the series, we would like to hear them and share them too.
For now, we'll be continuing our search for stories in the lesser known fabrics of community life in Singapore. We are always looking for ideas, and more importantly, contributors who want to take this journey with us. 
Enjoy the last episode. We'll see you soon.

Episode summary
Almost every day ‘Ah Pui Kia’ wanders the neighbourhood with his pushcart; a cart that had seen much of the excitement and vigour of the past. It has watched the children in the neighbourhood grow up and leave, and the familiar faces of regular clients quietly disappear. It ponders when will be the last time its wooden sheaths are opened and the charcoal fires burn. And it wonders, what will become of it the day the current satay man decides he has finally earned enough to retire to his home in China.

The key-cutting machine, a close companion of the key maker, has realized that while Time has worn out her blades, tarnished her façade and chipped her sides, Time has been far less kind to her human master. Today, she finds herself idling most of her hours away, cutting the occasional key while closely watching her human master, though still wiry and strong, slowly fade at the hands of Time.

Episode summary
Today, Chinese Street Opera in Singapore has lost much of its former lustre. A far cry from what it used to be, the seats no longer brim with audience and much of the extravagance is gone. Instead, a faded but proudly maintained stage and costumes remain. The opera stage herself reflects on the magic of performing despite the faded glamor of days gone by.
