Perhaps one of the most memorable takeaways from circuit breaker was just how far we went to maintain meaningful connections with our loved ones. Even though we couldn\u2019t be with each other physically, we organised game nights, sent food (see no. 4) and had Netflix parties<\/a>. For those interested in interactive online games, the Pictionary-inspired Skribbl.io<\/a> is definitely a hot favourite in my social circles! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Online Geylang Serai Bazaar<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUncle, do you miss the Geylang Serai Bazaar?\u201d I asked the Muslim gentleman, who was my grab driver, midway into our journey. With a wistful sigh he nodded. \u201cOf course! However, if these stricter measures are what it takes to ensure the safety of our country and curb the spread of the virus \u2014 I\u2019d rather we keep it online!\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And online, the bazaar has gone. There\u2019s a tab for all your festive needs: retail, so you look your finest, a mart, just incase you\u2019re cooking up a storm, shows to keep connected to the community, hot meals for non-domesticated folk, and, of course, sweet treats for all! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
