Dec. 7, 2019

YLB #21 - How bad is "Singapore Social"? And the teenagers whose armpit deodorant got mistaken for drugs
Dec. 1, 2019
Netflix’s latest reality show “Singapore Social” dropped on 22 November and lots of people vented on social media. But do they have a point or are they, as some suggest, “jealous”? One thing’s for sure - no one will be jealous of a group of teens who wer...

Aug. 24, 2019
