I just went to Harbourfront (along the way during lunchtime). All the counters selling ferry tickets are closed, with shutters pulled down.

I am keen to go before my passport expire end of July. God knows when ICA will finally issue my new passport.

I am thinking of joining those one day tours. There are only so many places that I can go. I also scared that with moneybox, will again kenna lockdown again.
