For many, a cup of morning coffee is an essential way of life. In Our Life Stories, we take a look at what goes into our beloved kopi and some of its most popular variants. A familiar face among the local Indian community, actress-host Shamini Gunasagar tells us how she grew from a reserved child to an articulate radio presenter, and how she aspires to help children speak up with confidence.

It is important to continue complying with infection control measures and maintaining good hygiene habits, as well as looking after our emotional well-being amid challenging times. Also featured in Livin’ It Up are film and music options that you can have a good time with in the comfort of your home.
We hope you enjoy reading this issue of Life Storeys. Stay healthy and safe!
