Tough times don’t last, tough people (and businesses, I guess) do. After about 11 weeks of a ‘circuit breaker’ period (semi-lockdown) in Singapore, we’re now allowed to go out a little more, in small groups, with certain measures in place.

So you can imagine it has … Continue reading The Betterfield, Waterloo Centre (MOVED)
