If things are to proceed similar to how it was last year, these locations are where you would want to end your 2021 and usher in the year 2022!

New Year’s Eve (NYE) celebration fireworks at Marina Bay may be a thing of the past – it is twice now that it has been scraped off the plans – but do not be dejected, there are still many other ways to welcome the prosperous year ahead!


1. Spend precious quality time at home with your family


The benefits of celebrating at the coziness of your home, and partaking in the countdown via the many celebration programs at home means that you do not have to worry about getting stuck in the crowd and dealing with the heat. If you are blessed with unblocked views that set up for a great firework viewing by your window, you have the best deal of all. That, and topped with congratulatory wishes and hugs with your loved ones will be a meaningful celebration to have. Plus, you are fulfilling your due diligence as a responsible citizen in limiting any possible transmission!
