The Corona Diaries - Gee Soo | Singapore Tour Guide

Gee Soo is everyones best friend here at Hello! Singapore Tours. His energy shines through on his tours.

Now that there are no tours in Singapore because of the global pandemic, Gee Soo has made sure that he continues to contribute to the City by working as a Safe Distancing Ambassador. A great way to lend a helping hand in this time of crisis!

Hello! Singpore Tour guide Gee Soo enjoying is free time by walking around Singapore Gardens

On a normal day, you are usually out on the streets showing our guests the beauty of Singapore. Given the travel restrictions imposed by several countries how are you spending your time now? What keeps you busy?

I have been working as a Safe Distancing Ambassador since Singapore implemented the "Circuit Breaker" measures to fight against Covid19.

Definitely proud as I could contribute to the nation during this challenging time. We guides are so used to social interactions so it's not doing something unfamiliar but this time to educate the public with a mask on and always maintain safe Distancing.  (Eerrr...they can't see my lovely smile!)

On my off days, I have been busy gardening, drawing, cycling, cooking, learning online, and talking with mum & dad on the phone.

We know that you also suffer from wanderlust. When this Pandemic is finally over, and you can go anywhere overseas where will your wanderlust take you and why?

Ladakh India! It is one of the most amazing places I had been. It is far away from civilization and yet spiritually rich. The people, the landscape, the air, the milky way, the glaciers, the mountains, the personal unexplained link with the land. It's a place one would feel humble and definitely feel the love of mother Earth.

After the world comes out of this dark time and everyone can travel to Singapore again what is the thing or place you are most excited about showing our guests and why?

Food Food Food. No doubt the movement restrictions have wakened up many chefs inside us but at the same time, I just realized how much I miss the friendly chat over Kaya toast + Kopi at a local coffee shop and the 1001 types of delicious yummy marvelous hawker food we have in Singapore.

What is one thing that this very unfortunate event taught you or helped you realize?

Life is so unpredictable, live life to the fullest at every current moment. I
