I’d be the first to admit: I’ve never expected this.
Not even after seeing images of Wuhan and Daegu that I would expect the place I live in to become a ghost town, too.
When I’ve grandkids, I’d be sure to show them these images because this is a once-in-a-life experience.
One that I really don’t want to go through again, of course.
Day 1 of Circuit Breaker Shows That Parts of S’pore Have Become Ghost Town
Today marks the first day of the Circuit Breaker period.
While it has been relatively quiet in Singapore in recent weeks, today is a lot different.
Even heaven’s crying for us as it’s been raining on and off the entire day.
For a start, with non-essential shops closed now, it looks like a ghost town:
You won’t be able to see images like these for years. Or decades.
This is Funan Mall, the hipsters’ mall that is now as empty as my bank account:
This is Bukit Panjang Plaza, the neighbourhood mall that’s usually packed to the brim as it’s located close to many HDB flats:
This is Central, a mall that was frequented by many office workers:
Bugis Street and Bugis Village used to be so crowded, you can smell what shampoo other people are using.
Now it’s like a scene from Resident Evil:
And of course we can’t miss out Jewel, the gem of our country that’s supposed bring in zillions of people every minute but now, you can even sit down and sew a mask in the middle of the mall:
Eateries Still Filled with Souls
While the dine-in areas of coffee shops and hawker centres are now empty with no chairs…
…people are still queuing up to dabao because we still need to makan:
There have been conflicting reports about public transport, though; some netizens claimed that it’s still rather packed while some said it’s relatively emptier.
Whatever it is, please wake me up on 5 May 2020.
This is depressing, though it’s good to know that Singaporeans are abiding the rules lah.
Watch this for a complete summary of what REALLY happened to Qoo10, and why it's like a K-drama:
