熟悉的新加坡 可以玩得很陌生
過去確實不曾留意過新加坡的「離島」，這天傍晚我們從聖淘沙的私人遊艇碼頭搭遊艇出海，一路上遇見了聖約翰島、姐妹島。船長說，相傳一對感情很好的姐妹在海上被海盜搶劫，妹妹被抓走後，姐姐游向大海不幸溺斃，妹妹知道後也跳海自盡，隔天海上就出現兩座島嶼，因而得名。聽著當地傳說故事，就在魔幻時刻抵達濱海灣沿岸，從海上欣賞夕陽璀璨美景，彷彿重新認識了新加坡。

不让生意停摆 林明伦转做船只维修
疫情不知何时了，帆艇出不了海，为了减少亏损，本地艺人林明伦做起维修船只的生意
林明伦在接受《联合晚报》专访时说：“我的老外邻居是买各种各样的船，他对我说，疫情前每年卖三到四艘，疫情爆发后，大家无法出国，买船的人增加了，他一年可以卖12到15艘船。因疫情，加上人数受限，我的船几乎是停摆，除了偶尔有上船求婚的客人，职员都在家坐冷板凳，我就灵机一动，既然买船的人增加，就有维修船的需求，于是就做起维修船的生意，我和职员都会修理船。
