Expat Living Singapore – July 2019

HOME & PROPERTY

JULY 2019 27

Rejuvenated Raffles
We’re very excited to see stores starting to
open up ahead of the Raffles Hotel official
relaunch in August. One of our favourites
is a brand collaboration, The AC Raffles.
Bringing together locally designed products,
it’s a great place to deck out your house,
fill your wardrobe or find Singapore gifts
to send home. Brands such as Layard
Interiors, Temple Candles, artist Louise
Hill and more are featured. Check them
all out in the Raffles Arcade, 328 North
Bridge Road, #02-36 or at facebook.com/

We expats never say goodbye – cannot, lah!

When friends at home ask

what being an expat is really

“like”, I say it’s similar to going to

university, albeit you have more

knowledge (and drink slightly

less alcohol!). Our shared expat

experience means connections are

formed quicker, and most of us

would agree our lives are infinitely

richer because of the friendships

we’ve made in our adopted home.

Sadly, like uni, nothing lasts

forever and often we have to say goodbye. My go-to gift for returning friends

is an antique map of the region; they fit into any décor style, hold their value

and everyone loves them.

If you’re lost, HotLotz can help you find your way! We have a single-owner

collection of antique regional maps, all framed and ready to hang. The timed

auction closes on July 30 and they can be viewed in the saleroom or online.

And, if you’re nervous about bidding – or you just can’t wait – each map

also has a fixed price.
