This is such a long shot, but does anyone know any covid-cautious dentists in #Singapore? Or how I would go about finding them?

Stellarium - Harbinger (2009)
Old style lanterns for the mid autumn festival. I went around with friends at night with lanterns like these. Unlike modern ones which were battery operated, We lit a small candle that was attached it to the wire candle holder in the middle and had to avoid strong winds blowing out the candle. It was great fun.

it's worth a watch. We need a change in the system. We can't keep on using a system that is not working and argue a logical fallacy "if it's not illegal then there would be even more cases" to support it.
Regulation is the path forward. Making dangerous things illegal just pushes them onto the black market and it becomes a game of Whack-A-Mole.
we already know regulation + education works; gambling, alcohol, cigarettes and prostitution.

Analogue bar with an analog camera:
A large NA cocktail list. They even gave me an interesting NA ‘shot’ made of raspberry, tea and citrus.
The food menu is entirely vegan. It’s in one of the locations where Crazy Rich Asians was filmed.
In a city of US$20 cocktails and US$15 beers, it’s average priced. They also have standard cocktails.
I used to drink a lot when I lived here. I miss bars more than I miss booze.

Peninsula plaza and peninsula shopping centres (across the street from each other) are hubs for two things I care about: Burmese food and culture, and film photography. In these two buildings alone you’ll get more Burmese restaurants and film photography stores then the Bay Area combined. I used to come here to buy domestic Myanmar travel and flight tickets.
You could also exchange kyats here.
Check out this Nikonos II in the window!
Finally back in my happy place: Yé Yint, the oldest and most popular Burmese tea shop in Singapore. Burmese milk tea: S$1.50 (a bit over US$1). Food is also great here, but there is no English menu! (Ladies speak Burmese, English, Mandarin)
I mention this spot, and also provide a recipe, in my newsletter post about tea: https://buttondown.email/skinnylatte/archive/three-cups-of-tea/

If the Burmese population in Singapore were a city in Myanmar, it’d be a top 10 Burmese city by population.
For that reason, we have excellent Burmese food. There’s even regional cuisines (there’s a Burmese biryani spot, where the biryani is similar to Kolkata biryani.. look on the map, you’ll see why; Burmese Chinese, Burmese halal..)
My favorite cheap Burmese spot right now is Mandalay Style in the basement of Peninsula Plaza.
All of this for US$20.
Sadly, I’ve had to cancel the Mumbai leg of my trip. But if you can’t go to Mumbai, you can bring Mumbai to you (Kailash Parbat, a famous chaat and Sindhi cuisine restaurant in Mumbai, has a few branches in Singapore). Vegetarian spot.
i don’t usually eat mooncakes because i tend to eat low carb (due to migraines), but recently i’ve been giving myself some leeway especially since i’m running regularly again. this is the first time i’ve ever bought mooncake myself in my life, and i chose an old-school bakery famous for their handmade pastries. we hardly see these shops anymore! i’m trying the mooncake out of curiosity rather than preference, maybe i’m more of an egg tart kind of person.

Being in this island city state country is weird. Some years you come back and there are brand new train lines in places you’d never even heard of. Some days you return from a day out and there’s a brand new part of the neighbourhood that literally wasn’t there this morning. Few of the places or buildings that mean anything to me exist anymore. More and more, I feel like I’m missing a place I don’t even know anymore.

Being home means breakfast that makes sense to me. (I don’t need to hear about how you can’t imagine eating such a thing, I can’t imagine eating donuts, cereals and fruit for breakfast either! Team savory and spicy breakfast forever)
My all time favorite laksa store in Singapore is Wei Yi in Tanglin Halt. In the Bay Area, Noodle Station in Daly City does one that is very similar (better than the Singaporean and Malaysian Bay Area places doing laksa)
Vegan options at a cheap local supermarket in Singapore (NTUC). Good to see that vegan options are now widely available, and not just as the more expensive markets.

Most evangelical churches also teach that you cannot marry a non-Christian so it’s more extreme than mainline ones)

Film and dev costs a bit more than WCC but it is faster.
I like when you dabble in film photography in Singapore you mostly interact with old aunties and uncles; most of whom were doing this when I started 20 years ago. Today I’m doing a tour of film spots in Singapore.
