If you haven’t already heard, Singapore will be tightening its Covid-19 measures this Sunday (May 16) in hopes of bringing down the number of community cases.
This comes with restrictions like not being able to dine in, social gatherings that are capped at two and a decrease in mall occupancy limits.
While this period has officially been dubbed Phase Two (Heightened Alert) — decidedly unimaginative, if you ask us — some netizens have taken to calling it circuit breaker 2.0. After all, some of the restrictions implemented are indeed a fair bit stricter than the original phase two last June. 
Our Instagram Poll: Name Choice Buzz
Feeling a mix of nerves and excitement, we jumped onto Instagram for a quick poll about our brand’s new name. The responses we saw made us grin from ear to ear.
What the crowd had to say (just a taste of the fun):
- “I’m all in for #CoolName—yep, that’s me!” — 42 ecstatic ‘likes’
- “Honestly, the name isn’t my cup of tea, but the vibe? Ace!” — 18 thoughtful comments
- “Whoever drafted that name must be a genius with a heart of steel.” — 7 cheering hearts
Why it mattered to us
Every chuckle, thumbs-up, or playful jab tells us exactly what resonates with our community. These tiny echoes guide our next steps—because no name gets a pass without the full fanfare.
This kind of makes sense since some of the measures, such as the restrictions on dining in, are similar to those of the circuit breaker period — talk about deja vu.
We don’t blame you — it does feel like we are back in the first phase of safe reopening. 
Why Upsizing Might Not Be the Best Move
Picture this: you’re staring at a fast‑food plate that looks nothing short of a culinary fa‑lam, and the upsizer button is just a tempting little shortcut. But here’s the twist:
- More calories = more guilt.
- It’ll stretch that waist you’ve already got.
- That extra puff of fat is basically a leisurely goldfish—slow, unresponsive, and not exactly a party trick.
So the next time you’re tempted to go in for the “+1 X,” pause. Keep it quick, keep it sweet, and maybe you’ll feel a little lighter in the morning—in life and in your jeans.

What’s the deal?
- It was an honest-to-God, wholesome chuckle‑machine.
- Everyone shipped a facepalm at the moment it hit the headlines.
In short, we laughed so hard we almost jumped out of our seats—because that’s the only way to handle pure, unfiltered hilarity.
A cheeky play on a popular term in Singapore. If you know, you know.
Whatever the case, we do hope that all of you stay home and stay safe as we wait for these hard times to tide over. And please don’t stockpile tissue rolls and cream cheese — we don’t want a supermarket cluster.
