Participate in a live sing-a-long

In between the extended circuit breaker and the uptick in cases, we've had a long couple of weeks - and we've got to salute our front liners, who have been working tirelessly even on weekends to keep us all healthy and safe. If you'd like to help lift the nation's spirits, consider joining Dick Lee's nationwide sing-a-long on Saturday, where he will lead everyone in a heartfelt rendition of "Home".

These eight Singaporean photographers have raised almost $39,000 to help migrant workers. And it's not too late for us to join, as the sale will run until May 4. Prices for prints, which depict tranquil scenes of Singapore, start from $80 to $500, with all proceeds going to beneficiaries.

Don’t be deceived by this Pictionary-style game’s 90s-era interface – it can keep you and your friends occupied for a good hour or so, enough to fill your social quota in these lonely times. To play, simply create a private room, invite your friends, and start drawing. You can submit your answers in a chat bar on the side, but we recommend videoconferencing at the same time so that you can easily scream out clues mid-game.
