Lawrence Wong’s Favourite CNY Memory Is Of His Late Mum Playing With Firecrackers In Malaysia

Lawrence Wong is always on the move for work. While he spent the last few months of 2021 in China, he’s now back in Singapore for, yes, more job-related reasons.

Apart from shooting a Singapore-China co-production here (more on that later), he’s also promoting his new movie, the Lunar New Year-themed Reunion Dinner.

In the movie, he plays a busy advertising exec with a contentious relationship with his mum. So he hires a fake family to meet his future in-laws during Chinese New Year. Things don’t quite go as well as planned and chaos, and of course, hilarity ensues.

When we caught up with Lawrence over the phone last week, he was again on the move and was about to attend a screening of the movie with fans.

Bugis Street Level 2 may no longer feel quite as much like a ghost town. Months after we visited the upper floor following reports of shuttered shops and sparse foot traffic, we returned on a Friday afternoon to see whether things had changed. This time, Level 2 had noticeably more people around, from teenagers and tourists to older shoppers. More importantly, shoppers were actually interacting with the stalls, trying things on and making purchases, rather than simply browsing and walking through. There are still plenty of shuttered units, and Level 2 remains much quieter than the ever-busy ground floor, but the atmosphere felt noticeably livelier during our visit. Bugis Street is also hosting its “Somewhere @ Bugis Street” weekend events as part of its ongoing efforts to bring more activity to the area. So, is Bugis Street Level 2 finally making a comeback? #8dayssg #8dayssgtrending #Bugis #BugistStreet #Singapore
