Caption: For many Singaporeans, these weren't just games. They were how we spent our afternoons, how we settled disputes, how we turned void decks and playgrounds into entire worlds. From Flag Erasers in pristine condition, Orh Yah Beh Yah Som to split teams, and Block Catching at HDB blocks. These were the games that everyone somehow knew. At the heart of it all, these games defined our childhood memories. #ThisisSG

Caption: In a city of six million, it's easy to feel like part of the background. Jeff Lai (@playingwithpencil) sketches the people most of us walk past, then hands them the portrait. No strings attached. Just a moment of connection on pencil-and-paper. What started as an April Fools' challenge in 2022 became something he couldn't put down. He's still an introvert. He still gets nervous every time. But the reactions keep him going. #ThisisSG

Caption: You might have seen him around. Orchard Road, Marina Bay, wherever there's a crowd and an open space. Juggler H has been at it for 20 years. Through doubtful voices and even the COVID-19 pandemic, he never walked away. He's a testament to what passion can build when you truly love what you do. One of the familiar faces of Singapore's streets, doing it all for the love of putting a smile on your face, with his son and family by his side the whole way. #ThisisSG

Caption: Next stop: Punggol. Its name traces back to the Malay word for hurling sticks at fruit trees to bring them down. Before the waterway and the flats, this was farmland and fishing villages along the coast. Today, it's one of Singapore's youngest heartland towns, built around water and still growing into itself. A town shaped as much by the people who chose it early as by what's still being built around them. #ThisisSG

Caption: The curry puff has been a staple for as long as most Singaporeans can remember. What's easy to miss is that there isn't just one. Look a little closer and you'll find three different communities, three different recipes, and three different stories baked into the same snack. #ThisisSG Editor’s note: Thank you for the feedback on the mispronunciation of “epok-epok” in our earlier version. The pronunciation has been corrected in this updated video.

Caption: Shopping for groceries. Reading labels. Identifying objects. Simple tasks most of us take for granted become complex challenges for persons with visual impairment. Led by Associate Professor Suranga Nanayakkara and co-founder Kian Peen Yeo, NUS researchers developed AiSee, a wearable AI device that identifies objects through a built-in camera and open-air speakers. AiSee's discreet design keeps users aware of their surroundings without drawing unnecessary attention. Technology designed not just to be smart, but to empower. #SGEnable #EnablingLivesInitiative #ThisisSG

Caption: Almost every Saturday morning, Urban Sketchers Singapore (USkSG) gathers at a different corner of our city to slow down and draw what they see. Mdm Tia established the Singapore chapter of this international sketching collective, creating a space where people are drawn together by a love of location-based sketching 🎨 and the connections made in the process. #ThisisSG

Caption: No one taught us this. We just… all do it. 🇸🇬 Waiting for the whole table before eating even though the food is getting cold. Taking the longer route just to walk through a mall for aircon. Texting "OTW" when you've barely left the house. The little things you've probably noticed about each other. Different backgrounds, same habits. #ThisisSG

Caption: Over three episodes, @caitofalltraits went out looking for the moments and stories that make Singapore what it is, and found no shortage of them. From the cross-cultural experiences that shape everyday life here, to the everyday innovations we barely notice anymore, to the quiet stories of people who found a way when things did not go as planned. Thank you to everyone who tuned in and shared their own stories in the comments along the way! #ThisisSG #OnlyInSingapore

Caption: Behind most success stories is a longer, quieter one about refusing to give up, and Episode 3 brought a lot of those to light. Congratulations to @snowmoonpie, @kiwilike24 and @xiaoninger on winning exclusive @singapore merch. That wraps up the Only in Singapore giveaway!
