Amidst the commotion, I stumbled upon a local Teochew cemetery tucked away in the heart of the city, where locals were calmly strolling as if in a park. It was there, amidst the unusual backdrop of unrest and tranquility, that I experienced a rare sense of quiet and calm in the evening air.

Singapore boasts countless coffee shops all over the island, but don't let the name fool you. These aren't the cafés many are accustomed to.
