**tl;dr** Share useful tips, tricks, and tech for smooth travels in China. **Logistics** * Where: 7:30–8:50 PM, Bugis NLB Library, Programme Room 1 (basement) * After: Discussion continues until last train/bus at the Bras Basah Building food court next door * Optional: Join our Telegram for reminders: [https://t.me/+7TNAbjU60PVjOTE1](https://t.me/+7TNAbjU60PVjOTE1) (very low volume — used only for reminders and online meetup links) **More** Looks like everyone's heading to China these days. Let's connect with friends who travel there regularly. We'll ask them to share travel hacks, tips, and useful technologies (VPNs, e-payments, AI apps) they rely on while travelling in China. Come along to ask questions or share your own tips and stories. **Agenda** * 7:30–7:40: Quick intro — share your name (or initials/nickname) and your travel experience in China. No worries if you haven't been yet, just tell us where you'd like to go. * 7:40–8:00: Share one photo from your China travels and tell us about it. Could be anything — an interesting person you met, a dish, a gadget, scenery, a shop, etc. * 8:00–8:10: Which AI apps are good for looking up information while in China? Rebekah will compare her experience using DeepSeek vs. ChatGPT for trip planning. * 8:10–8:25: Discuss other China travel tech hacks — VPNs, eSIMs, payment apps. * 8:25–8:50: Your questions about traveling in China. At 8:50, we'll move to the Bras Basah food court to keep chatting about other things — for example, current trends in China (great conversation starters when meeting locals) and what "China-maxxing" actually means. What are the best cities beyond the usual tourist spots? Where can you connect with everyday locals in China? Note: We will no longer livestream these meetups, but we'll continue running separate online sessions.

​A women-only reflection circle for ladies in Singapore who feel mentally full, quietly stretched, or disconnected from themselves beneath work, family, expectations and responsibilities. ​Through guided journaling, a private letter to yourself, and an anonymous encouragement note exchange, you’ll pause, reflect, and leave with more clarity, softness and self-trust. ​No pressure to overshare. You can write privately and share lightly, only if you wish. ​Each month will explore a different part of becoming: ​**Month 1: The Woman Beneath the Roles** Who am I beyond what I carry for others? ​**Month 2: The Permission I’m Giving Myself** What am I allowed to choose, soften, release or begin again? ​**Month 3: The Life I’m Gently Returning To** What do I want to make space for next? ​You may attend the first circle as a single session, or join the full 3-month founding circle. ​Come feeling mentally full and disconnected from yourself. Leave with a clearer sense of what you are carrying, what you need, and who you are becoming.
