We know that staying at home has not been the easiest as we come to the end of our sixth week of circuit breaker, but stay strong and stay in.

You may not be able to physically visit the usual Hari Raya bazaars this year, so Wisma Geylang Serai has decided to take things online to replicate the same atmosphere leading up to Hari Raya.

Find all the usual wares ranging from apparels, food, cookware being hawked online from different stall owners.

You can also participate in the online programmes on their Facebook page, including cooking shows, song covers and workout sessions.

The staff at Gardens By The Bay have shared a host of gardening workshops, DIY tips and tricks and other resources online.

Learn what plants thrive best at home and how to care for them with their Bringing the Gardens Home series or follow their tutorials on how to make your very own terrarium.
