What day is it today?
You’ve made it through the first week of circuit breaker! Just another 3 more weeks to go.
Since April 7, all the non-essential shops and businesses are closed so you really shouldn’t be seen loitering on the streets and shopping malls. It is a sad reality that much of our lifestyle pursuits fall under the non-essential category. It’s illegal now if you fail to practise social distancing when you’re out, whether is it queuing in the supermarket, at the hawker centres or on a commute.
Let’s admit that it’s not the easiest thing to stay at home for the entire month, unless you live in a mansion, like some Hollywood celebrities. Nonethless, we must try to stay at home as much as possible. We must ‘regulate’ our day-to-day habits and lifestyle choices to break the chain of transmissions while scientists around the world race against time to develop vaccines. #stayhomesavelives
To help you stay sane, here are 5 social distancing anthems to remind yourself why you need to stay off the streets.

5. NASA by Ariana Grande

Fortunately, there’s technology to help us stay connected virtually with our loved ones.
