How’re you doing this Monday?

This week, we catch up with Jesse Lim, who moved back to Singapore after living in the States for over two decades. He counts himself lucky that he and his wife – not forgetting cats Toto and Momo! – were able to complete their move back to Singapore right before the Circuit Breaker last year.

Learn about his motivations for leaving the US and how he was glad to find work-life balance here P.S. He's currently hiring for his team at Grab. Find out what (and who) he's looking for!

Have a great week ahead everyone!

TGIF! Things have been pretty busy for Singaporeans friends all over the globe the past month

In Canada Singaporean students got together to celebrate Deepavali with local delicacies and activities like rangoli painting. It was a warm and nostalgic event for many, and a great reminder of Singapore’s melting pot of cultures.

On the other side of the world in China over 70 people celebrated STUCK (Singaporeans Together, United in Care and Kindness)’s 1-year anniversary over a delicious Brazilian churrasco dinner and good company! It was a night of laughter, bonding and an overall great time!
