My new office with Probi was faaaaar away in the west side of the city. Took me about 2 hours to get there with public transportation! Needless to say I didn't go there very many times because of that...A few months into the job I opened a new office for us closer to downtown just next to the Marina Bay Sands building. But, landlord decided to throw everyone on the floor out with 2 weeks notice. We packed our things and moved again to Telok Ayer which is a great location near so many restaurants and bars.
Old office rooftop was nice, but scorching hot
New office grounds were pretty cool
Some pictures around Marina bay and the Barge

During covid there was not really that much social activity. I was elected to the Finnish Business Council board which was probably one of the best places to socialize with all the restrictions. Every month I arranged a network event in a bar or restaurant. Just like back in China!
FBC night at Heart Of Darkness
The Swedish chamber also organises a lot of networking events, this private members only restaurant 1888 is super nice!

Chinatown normally super busy but during covid, dead. I've seen this lane so packed you have to go push your way through on holidays or busy weekends.
Old cookie shop with lot of plastered stuff
We did a lot of Hotel staycations all over Singapore during the covid times...Luckily I had racked up a few hundred thousand Marriott points which I was able to use for this. And with Platinum card it gave a tons of benefits like free food, drinks, upgrades etc.
