Dying to Meet You

Starting a business in a area you have absolutely no proficient in can be daunting. Bob The Baker Boy is known for its bespoke cake designs and the brains behind this outfit is the young 29 year old MayEe. It’s easy to underestimate her with her bubbly nature and charming smile, but sitting down for a chat with her showed a different side of MayEe. One who is tenacious, authentic and wise beyond her years. Dying to Meet You is hosted by motivational speaker and funeral director, Angjolie Mei. You can see Bob the Baker Boy Instagram here.

Chef Ming Tan, Presenter and Food Consultant, owner of The Refectory Concepts is usually the one behind the microphone interviewing his guests about the significance of food. This time, we turn the tables around and have him in the hot seat while Angjolie Mei asks Ming about intimate moments of his life. His parents were never fond of Ming "wasting his education" by being a chef, but Ming stuck through it. You can find him on Facebook at The Refectory.

You have shown us that you enjoyed season 1 so here we are back again with season 2. Our first guest is Baba Richard Tan, talking about how he went against his father when he, as the eldest son, took up ballet instead of the job his father had set aside for him. A funny conversation quickly turns dark when Richard spoke about his late sister and how she had thought him how to appreciate death. You can visit Richard Tan's Peranakan makan stall at Heritage Corner.

In this pre-season 2 show special, we got three young guests in their early twentys to talk about what death and funeral means to them. It's refreshing to get the perspective from a different demographic. 

In the final episode of our three part season break, Angjolie talks about living beside a brothel and a mother's love in the book 17A Keong Saik Road. The second book Dostandning is a recommended read for anyone who wants to free themselves from a lifetime of clutter. We'll be back next week with three young guests in a special pre-season 2 opening episode on Dying to Meet You.

When Angjolie Mei published her own confessions in her memoir Dying to Meet You, her logline was Confessions of  a Funeral Director. Later on she discovered that there was a similar book with that title by Caleb Wilde who reflected on mortality and the powerful lessons death holds for every one of us. This immediately became one of Angjolie's favourite book. Perhaps one day, we can have Caleb as a guest on the show with us.

We have come to the end of our Season 1. As we prepare for our season 2 guests and content, Angjolie Mei takes the time off to catch up on her reading. In the first of this 3 part series during season break, Angjolie talks about this powerful book titled Loss Adjustment by Linda Collins. 

Loss Adjustment is a mother’s recount of her 17-year-old daughter’s suicide. In the wake of Victoria McLeod’s passing, she left behind a remarkable journal in her laptop of the final four months of her life. Linda Collins, her mother, has woven these into her memoir, which is at once cohesive, yet fragmented, reflecting a survivor's state of mind after devastating loss.
