Memories Of A Circuit Breaker (Singapore)

In an unprecedented move in her fight against COVID-19, Singapore implemented ‘Circuit Breaker’ (CB) in April 2020 to bring the infection number down. Families are forced to stay indoor for weeks. But dire as the situation may be, CB provided an opportunity for us to be close with our family members and create a set of
lasting memories with them. Everyone in the family handled the Circuit Breaker differently and those instances were precious moments to be captured in this difficult time. I tried to document those memories that would bring on a smile when we look back at this difficult time ;)
