SINGAPORE - Azel Tan, seven, and his brother Aden, three, love spending time outdoors. They had withdrawal symptoms when recreational facilities had to close during the circuit breaker. Their mother Serene Wu, 36, recalls their shock when she showed them the news. "When they saw tape barriers surrounding our usual playground, reality sank in. Aden asked many questions about why he couldn't play with his friends. Azel was devastated he could not go for his in-line skating lessons or play soccer with his neighbours at the open field downstairs," says Ms Wu, a teacher-turned-mumpreneur. Like Azel and Aden, children across the island have had their routines upended by the pandemic. More are finding themselves lost in the shifting tide of changes across all aspects of their lives, with parents who may be too busy fighting their own Covid-19 calamities to steer them to safety.

SINGAPORE - National servicemen and their families who live in the north-west can look forward to a new Safra clubhouse that will be built in Choa Chu Kang park in the coming years. It will feature a sheltered swimming pool, a skypark running circuit, a gym, as well as a nature-themed playground.

Yam Concepcion (left) and Gerald Anderson in “Init sa Magdamag” It’s something I felt I just had to do for my peace of mind,” said actor Gerald Anderson as he described his much-talked-about interview with TV host Boy Abunda, wherein he finally admitted to dating Julia Barretto. “I don’t think it has affected my career at all. Personally, nabunutan ako ng tinik. Aside from that, I didn’t feel any other effect on me. My life is still the same. We actually have bigger problems to deal with these days than my interview with Tito Boy.

REUTERS: Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers said striker Jamie Vardy needs a bit of luck to spark a turnaround in his goal-scoring form. Vardy, 34, has scored only one goal in his last 17 games in all competitions for Leicester this season and has not found the net in the last nine games. Nigeria international Kelechi Iheanacho has stepped up for Leicester in Vardy's absence, scoring nine goals in his last 10 games. But Rodgers said he was confident Vardy would soon end his goal drought. "What's most important for Jamie is you have to continue to work, make runs and sometimes you just need that bit of luck," Rodgers said before Sunday's Premier League trip to West Ham United. "He has created a number of opportunities for us. He is such a threat, his sharpness and speed, he is such an important player for us. "He has just been very unfortunate, between keepers making saves and blocks on the line and some chances that maybe he would have put away." Rodgers said he ... » Learn More about Leicester’s Rodgers backs goal-shy Vardy to hit top gear again

Vilma Santos I love you, Lucky” was Ate Vi’s (Vilma Santos) standard extro line in her shows back in the day. That was how she showed affection for her son, Luis Manzano, on national television. Now, it’s Lucky’s turn to say “I love you” to his bride, Jessy Mendiola. I sent Ate Vi questions about Luis. In her answers, she still refers to him as Lucky.

SINGAPORE: The Government should prepare to allow Muslim nurses to wear the tudung with their uniform, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said on Saturday (Apr 10). Speaking to reporters after a closed-door dialogue with Malay Muslim community and religious leaders on Saturday, Mr Lee said: “I told them that I had concluded that we should prepare to make such a move for nurses because people's attitudes have changed, because in social and work settings, the tudung is now more common.
