The COVID-19 Circuit Breaker may have put a bulk of Singapore at a standstill, but this doesn’t mean we need to sit still and wait for it to pass. With plenty of things to be grateful for, we can use this time to plan ahead for future events, take up hobbies and practice self-care. 

We can also support local SME businesses while we’re at it, as many have been affected by the economic effect of the virus. You’ll also be able to benefit from a slew of discounts that are being offered on products and services while keeping the economy afloat. Just check them out below:


1. One Eye Click – 50% off future photoshoots

Events may have been put on hold during the Circuit Breaker, but that doesn’t mean you need to stop planning ahead. One Eye Click is offering up to 50% off their photography services. They specialise in snapping photos of people, so you can bookmark them for upcoming events like weddings, corporate diners, and even personal family shoots when COVID-19 blows over.

And if you know a friend who’s also looking for someone to capture their special day, you can buy 2 packages for just $1,000 to share!
