Bare Skin Rocks: Recent Episodes
Lily Kew
Bare Skin Rocks is a show that discusses topics that often times can spark a fiery debate between genders or generations. Topics such a divorce, affairs, women empowerment, workplace ethics, and many of society's unspoken rules. Lily Kew is a celebrated woman entrepreneur and founder of Kew Organics, and is twice married - to the same man. This podcast would be relevant to those who find themselves disagreeing with how things are done "these days". Each episode our hosts discuss both sides of the argument and work towards finding a probable solution to the problem.
Lily Kew, host of Bare Skin Rocks, had a particularly bad day. "Why men just don't listen ah?" she asked co-host, Eugene Tay. This led to a 30mins discussion on Eugene's hypothesis that it's because women are just not asking it the right way. As always, Bare Skin Rocks talks about the things you are thinking of but don't dare speak about it in public. Watch the video on YouTube here.
The government laments that the population is decreasing - Couples are opting not to have children or just stopping at one. We hear that some people say that having a children is a blessing, but we also hear some say its a curse. Lily Kew and I tackle this subject matter and see if we can find how to get around it in this episode of Bare Skin Rocks. Watch the video on YouTube.
Recently MP Ang Wei Neng created a social media storm when he suggested that in order of higher learning to take place, degree certifications should have an expiry date. The internet was affronted by such a thought and people started making memes out of it. I put Lily Kew (founder of Kew Organics) in the hot seat to discuss this topic. Verdict is, we agree that degrees should have an expiry date, and we both kinda think that a degree is useless for most of us. Listen to this 30mins discussion and let us know if you agree with us.

Let's talk about the uncomfortable white elephant in the room. Men are no longer interested in marriages; divorce cases are on the rise; women's charter protects the women but leaves the men open to unjust situations. In an environment where we all seek for Self Empowerment (and entitlement?) where does marriage stand in all this? Together, Lily and Eugene try to find out what's the ingredient required to sustain a marriage. Do you agree with Lily? Or do you think the effort just isn't worth the fallout?

We have been told to work smart, not work hard. Working hard is what our parent's generation used to do and look at where it got them? What does working smart mean? Can we truly succeed without hard work? What about the adage that Luck equals Hard Work and Opportunity? Is there a new quote of wisdom that the younger work force subscribe to?

How does the world define real man? Is going to work, earn money, put food on the table is the real man? Or staying home, taking care of kids, cleaning to house while your partner going out to work, that too is a real man? Being a man in today's era is a confusing place. Every group defines Real Man differently. Is there a basic core construct of what defines a man across generations? Do women really know what they want out of a man or are the demands tagged with Real Man status just something that they use to manipulate men? We want to hear what you have to say.

Millennials are a soft, whiny bunch; or are they? There are plenty of names being slapped on the millennials and most of it does not sound encouraging, but what does the millennials think about it? We have a guest millennial on the show and we get try to understand from their perspective. How can we bridge the generation gap? Is it even possible? We want to hear what you have to say. Share with us your work place experience either as a millennial or as a Gen X/Y and having to work with one. Join us in discussion on Facebook at Voice of Our Generation.
The advancement of internet which social medias also play a huge part in it has created a whole new opportunities and also break a lot of barriers that we faced even merely ten years ago. But did the improvement also caused harm to the society? Naming one - insecurities. You would think that Lily has got everything going for her. A successful beauty business, a happy family, and her fitness level is that of a thirty year old. Yet, Lily is still susceptible to bouts of insecurities. In comparison, men don't quite suffer the same fate. Is this a gender issue or a social issue? Join us in discussion on Facebook at Voice of Our Generation.
Why do men not want to date women in power positions? What are these women looking for in a mate? Increasingly we find women in high places feeling dissatisfied with the dating scene. We take a candid look at how Lily tries to juggle both - she believes that a woman must be able to switch roles when they are at home with their husband. Is that something that would be acceptable by the young empowered generation? Join us in discussion on Facebook at Voice of Our Generation.
State of marriages in modern society seems very flimsy. Divorce figures are on a year on year increase. Something isn’t working out with the concept of marriage. In this episode, Lily and Eugene explore a topic that is happening all too often that most people are not comfortable talking about in public. Back in our grandparents generation, they will stick it through to the end. Can that tradition still apply in modern times? There's a saying that we are only as faithful as our options. Is the social media landscape enabling such behaviour? Join us in this discussion on Facebook at Voice of Our Generation.
