• This episode is brought to you by OPPO!
• FOMO keeps us connected to our phones 24/7. But what happens on our phones is often way less important than all the meaningful things happening in front of us!
• So this holiday season, remember that your phones can wait but life can’t. So enjoy the present!

We’re rolling into the year-end party season and we can expect a lot of people to be on their phones, capturing the festivities. But how much is too much? Can we put down our phones for a minute? Can we learn to enjoy each other’s company just like in the good ol’ days? In this episode, we talk to Adele Chan, photographer, self-professed tech junkie and editor-in-chief of lifestyle magazine NYLON Singapore on what steps she takes to live in the moment while with her loved ones, or while meeting friends at social events. And, since her job makes her something of a lifestyle/fashion authority, what her tips are for Singaporeans as we get ready to ring in 2025?
