With Valentine’s Day and Chinese New Year colliding, I’m in a quandry as to what to celebrate first! I’ll be in town over the weekend, but our office is closed for all of next week - yay - so I’m heading off to Phuket for some R&R. Even though my Christmas break ended just one month ago it seems at least three months have whizzed by since then! If you’re staying in Singapore and are stuck for something to do, check out the following - should keep you busy!
