Netflix dropped Squid Games on September 17 and took up the number one spot in the Top 10 Shows on the streaming platform three days after its release. If you’re a fan of Hunger Games, Alice in Borderland, and Battle Royale, this show is right down your alley. To build on the hype and the excitement, ABS-CBN’s noon-time program It’s Showtime recently launched Extra Life, a game show with games similar to those in the Korean series but without the deadly challenges. What Extra Life is all about Squid Game is all about child’s play – but bloodier and deadlier. Extra Life on It’s Showtime, on the other hand, is quite the opposite. The game show invites previously popular celebrities and influencers, where they are given another shot at fame by competing in a series of games.

It is supported by Sengkang General Hospital, Singapore's newest hospital, which is just 3km away. Some of the S11 residents had in fact helped to build Sengkang Hospital, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said on Thursday (April 30), as he paid tribute to migrant workers and thanked them for their contributions to Singapore in his May Day message. "One worker who was hospitalised told his doctor that he had laid the tiles in the ward he was staying in. The Sengkang Hospital medical team were moved. They were happy to be able to give back directly to the workers," PM Lee said. "May Day is a day of celebration for all workers, including migrant workers.

After planning their wedding for a year, Mr Devan Lakshamanan, 34, and Ms Vanitha Jayakumar, 31, were informed at the last minute by the Registry of Marriages (ROM) that their solemnisation on April 10 had to be postponed. The authorities had imposed circuit breaker measures to stop the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic and the couple's plans, like those of thousands of others in Singapore, were dashed. The couple, who had been dating for five years, cancelled the wedding dinner on April 10 they had planned for 250 guests at the Civil Service Club. Mr Lakshamanan, a business development executive, said: "We were distraught and lost as we had invested so much emotional energy into it." There was nothing to do but wait.

On Sept 6 - an auspicious date in the Hindu astrological …
