Welcome to the Clean Your Toilet Podcast – yes, that’s the actual name, and no, it’s not about porcelain (only).
This podcast is where we talk about the messes we pretend aren’t there — physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually. Let’s clear some space (in every sense), starting with the place where you unload your biggest sh*t 💩, so you can finally make room for what actually matters in your life.
What will you miss when it’s gone?
Maybe it’s a place you’ve walked past a thousand times.
A version of Singapore you assumed would always be there.
Or someone you thought you still had time with.
For visual archivist Aik Beng Chia, photography isn’t about beautiful pictures. He wants the real Singapore.
The uncle having coffee in an alley. The streets after dark. Ordinary people going about their lives. The moments we barely notice.
In Tradition & Heritage: Compass or Shackle, Aik Beng sits down with Lim Pei Ying, ICF Master Certified Coach and Producer of the Clean Your Toilet Podcast, for a conversation that starts with photography and Singapore but becomes much more personal.
Aik Beng picked up photography at 40.
Entirely self-taught, he worked through design and advertising before finding his own way of seeing the world.
Along the way, he got punched, kicked, scolded and even strangled for taking photographs.
But behind the funny stories is a man looking back at life differently.
Aik Beng talks openly about mistakes, taking people for granted and becoming so caught up in what he loved that he didn’t spend enough time with family.
Today, he’s trying to live differently.
See his mother more. Appreciate those who stood by him. Be kinder. Worry less about tomorrow.
Because what he has is today.
He only started getting his act together in his forties. Even now, he’s a work in progress.
It’s never too late to change.
Together, they explore:
– Starting photography at 40.
– Turning down Singapore Airlines for design.
– Why everyone deserves another chance.
– Learning to live for today.
– His biggest regret about family.
– Why kindness matters more now.
– The risks behind candid photography.
– Why everyday people are the Singapore he wants to preserve.
– What he wants future generations to see.
For years, Aik Beng has photographed things before they disappear.
We assume the people, places and routines around us will still be there tomorrow.
Until one day, they aren’t.
A photograph can preserve a moment.
But it can’t give you the moment back.
What do we need to appreciate while it’s still here?
