A Funny Thing Called Life
When you’re busy living a life from one deadline to the next, it’s sometimes hard to stop and smell the roses… But there’s one thing life has an upper hand on – the unending possibility of laughter that it promises. The problem is, sometimes, you may just end up as the punch line. Tahatto’s A Funny Thing Called Life is a vignette of 5 everyday situations we all encounter; the only difference being that they quickly turn into a twisted, funny joke where you wonder how it came to this. Love at an airport lounge, the meaning of life home delivered, a strange auto ride and a conversation between 2 statues in a park. Yeah Life… hahaha… very funny, we get it… now can we move on?

Since is often difficult and time consuming for gardeners to source various materials such seeds, containers, growing media, plant protection materials etc, OFYT brings together all essential resources under one roof.
