He was perhaps the most effortlessly amiable guy I\u2019ve met to date. The arthouse movie posters splattered on the walls of 03-27 were our conversation starter, and we chatted into the night about his greatest passion: Film.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Who is Daryl Cheong? He\u2019d leave an impression on anybody \u2014\u00a0currently a second-year undergraduate at NTU, Daryl is reading for a degree most might consider unorthodox: He majors in English Language with minors in Modern Languages (Thai and Tamil) and Entrepreneurship. Most notably, he\u2019s the founder of 03-27, a peaceful and inclusive sanctuary for underprivileged creatives to focus and develop their work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Being fulfilled creatively in multiple facets of his life might just be his lifeblood. While juggling a demanding school schedule, Daryl still makes the almost two hour journey from NTU in Pioneer to Pearl\u2019s Hill Terrace in Chinatown every other day; particularly to spearhead 03-27\u2019s new community film discussion effort, <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/blindboars\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blind Boars<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Daryl is also a private tutor for a wide array of subjects like English and Literature, teaching from primary school to JC levels to support himself and the space financially.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, I found myself climbing the storied stairs of Pearl\u2019s Hill Terrace and meeting Daryl again for a session of Blind Boars at 03-27. This area thrives as a hidden-gem hub of small businesses and freelancers who are mostly arts-based: Think tattoo studios, 35mm photo development labs, and indie fashion labels. 03-27\u2019s location in Pearl\u2019s Hill is then self-explanatory \u2014 tucked in a corner of the third floor, a nondescript hunter-green door stood still, stickered plentifully with PayNow QR Codes and curious post-it notes left by friends.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/hypesingapore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/0327.jpeg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;0327&#8243; align=&#8221;center&#8221; force_fullwidth=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.4&#8243; text_font=&#8221;Montreal Medium||||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; transform_scale_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; transform_scale_phone=&#8221;&#8221; transform_scale_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; transform_translate=&#8221;0px|-22px&#8221; transform_translate_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; transform_translate_phone=&#8221;&#8221; transform_translate_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; transform_translate_linked=&#8221;off&#8221; transform_rotate_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; transform_rotate_phone=&#8221;&#8221; transform_rotate_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; transform_skew_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; transform_skew_phone=&#8221;&#8221; transform_skew_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; transform_origin_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; transform_origin_phone=&#8221;&#8221; transform_origin_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; transform_styles_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;31px||0px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; text_font_size_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; text_font_size_phone=&#8221;14px&#8221; text_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; transform_styles_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; transform_styles_phone=&#8221;&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Film and literature takes centre stage in the interior of 03-27.

Tasteful selections of film posters and a mini-library of literature, ranging from French classics to philosophy volumes, decorated the space. Sofa-beds and bean bags invited me to lounge and ponder my next great novel idea. There was even a pantry area and refrigerator stocked with drinks and food, which Daryl kindly insisted was free game for me, or for anyone who used the space.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The idea for 03-27 came to be when Daryl got \u201csick and tired of university\u201d \u2014\u00a0it was draining his mental health, energy, and time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThis led to a feeling of existential nausea \u2014\u00a0if I wasn\u2019t able to get my sh*t together about my dreams, I felt like I would\u2019ve lacked the time and opportunity to pursue them after graduation,\u201d he explains.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlike many of his peers, the resources available to Daryl were limited. \u201cAs an only child, there\u2019s only so much time I have to play around and try to navigate a career out of my passions,\u201d he says. He decided mid-way through his semester that he had to put together something that could put himself one step closer to realising his aspirations. \u201cI was lucky to have the support of friends!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Who mainly populates 03-27? There is a unique mix of people who use the space \u2014 mostly Daryl\u2019s friends and their friends, five of whom pay a monthly amount determined by the individuals to have unlimited access, as the space currently operates on a pay-as-you-can basis. \u201cI even have professors interested in using the space for pre-semester meetings,\u201d\u00a0 Daryl adds. He also uses the space to host his tutoring sessions.<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/hypesingapore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/0327-1.jpeg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;0327-1&#8243; align=&#8221;center&#8221; force_fullwidth=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.4&#8243; text_font=&#8221;Montreal Medium||||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; transform_scale_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; transform_scale_phone=&#8221;&#8221; transform_scale_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; transform_translate=&#8221;0px|-22px&#8221; transform_translate_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; transform_translate_phone=&#8221;&#8221; transform_translate_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; transform_translate_linked=&#8221;off&#8221; transform_rotate_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; transform_rotate_phone=&#8221;&#8221; transform_rotate_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; transform_skew_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; transform_skew_phone=&#8221;&#8221; transform_skew_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; transform_origin_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; transform_origin_phone=&#8221;&#8221; transform_origin_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; transform_styles_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;31px||0px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; text_font_size_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; text_font_size_phone=&#8221;14px&#8221; text_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; transform_styles_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; transform_styles_phone=&#8221;&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The small glass enclosure that the author dubs a \u201cglasshouse\u201d.

He aspires to join the film industry after graduation.
