Here’s my little snippet from last night’s National Day Parade. For my non-Singaporean friends, it’s basically a big birthday bash our country throws itself every year with a lot of fireworks, dancing and memes. This year was different; way less performers, a postponement and LOTS of nose swabs and Covid testing. But just like our tiny country, we pivoted, and out of this concrete jungle burst a dandelion of art from a team that I love and respect so much. Thanks for letting me be a small part of this.

CNN has pivoted to Korean streetwear and I'm a stan.

When the pandemic hit and planes were grounded, travel photographer Gray Malin needed to pivot his business. Since he couldn't travel, he found inspiration in his own backyard. How have you pivoted your photography business over the past year? https://buff.ly/3fSOjtp Forbes

Almost 1 year of covid, and we were just thinking about ourselves. Whining about business, work, life, and stress - basically about everything. We totally forgot about the frontliners who have been working for 365 days nonstop almost, burning themselves down. Yesterday, I received a text at 6am from my close friend, asking me if we can help.
Last year in March we did a #PayItForwardWithRawsome, sending food to the frontliners and from there we managed to get our community to help and we even went to feed the urban poor for 6 months or maybe more together with @dapurjalanankl . And that was a year ago and it just seems like yesterday. In this battle of fighting hard times, I asked myself, what is my battle compared to theirs?
Because of Covid, we pivoted and diversified to #FrozenReadyToEat, and if it is not because of MCO, we wouldn’t have done this. Last year we contributed packed food and it wasn’t that ideal because it was perishable and cant be kept long and if it is left unattended it’s not fresh and might cause food poisoning and many, many more issues. So we learnt.
Here we are, again asking help from the community, this time we are sending frozen ready to eat to them because they have no time to cook, it can be kept in the freezer for a long period of time, convenient, just heating up, it is wholesome food and it’s affordable to contribute, RM6 per box. We are truly grateful, as I am writing we have collected 700 boxes on top of my own 500 boxes in less than 24 hours. I have nothing to say but thank you to all of you out there who are so kind, generous and big at heart. Just one IG story and we have managed to collect 1200 boxes and the numbers are still coming in.
Today I have started this initiative by sending 500 boxes in the morning and the doctors helped us distributed to 6 bases in Hospital Sg Buloh for the covid team. For those who think otherwise: Yes - if you think we are bringing in sales for ourselves, Yes - if you think it is a marketing scheme, Yes - if you think it’s a publicity stunt and Yes - we do make a little profit to cover our own team as we’re trying to survive. But for whatever the reason we have been constant. ?

Not one to stay stuck in the moment, Taj Gibson insisted he'll let this one go no matter how tempting it might be to hold onto it.

The rookie tied a career high with 20 points and had 13 rebounds, and the Chicago Bulls used a big first-half run to beat the Philadelphia 76ers 122-90 on Saturday night for their fourth straight victory.

"You're only as good as your last game," Gibson said.

And this one was quite impressive. He hit 9 of 14 shots and fed off newcomer Hakim Warrick in another eye-opening performance from a rookie whose emergence made the departed Tyrus Thomas expendable.

"He's such a good kid," coach Vinny Del Negro said. "He is very coachable. He wants to learn and is always working. I like some of the passes that he and Hakim made to each other. They worked well against the zone."

And they had plenty of help.

Derrick Rose scored 17 points to help the Bulls set a season high for points. So did Kirk Hinrich, who also buried three 3-pointers to give him 773 in his career and break a tie with Ben Gordon for the club record.

Warrick had a highlight reel dunk over Thaddeus Young that "got me going" and finished with 15 points. Brad Miller scored eight of his 15 during a 23-1 run to close the second half, turning a three-point deficit into a 58-39 lead and sending Chicago to his sixth win in seven games. The Bulls set a team record for fewest turnovers with four while dishing out 26 assists.

"They were finding the open man, just making the right plays," the Sixers' Allen Iverson said.

Andre Iguodala led Philadelphia with 23 points. Young scored 17 points, but the Sixers went 8:14 without a field goal during a drought that spanned the second and third quarters in their most lopsided loss this season while falling for the third time in four games.

"We couldn't hit shots and we couldn't get stops," Iguodala said.

They were leading 38-35 after Iguodala hit two free throws with 5:19 left in the first half.

And then?

Miller put back his own miss and led the charge as the Bulls scored 21 straight before Young hit 1 of 2 free throws with 35 seconds left. Miller added a layup, hit 2 of 3 free throws after getting fouled on a 3 and buried two more foul shots.

And after Young's free throw, Rose drove for a layup in closing seconds to make it a 19-point game at halftime, and he started the third with a buzzer-beating 3-pointer. Hinrich then hit one of his own to make it 64-39 and give him 701 in his career, putting him ahead of Gordon.

"I don't feel like I shoot a lot of 3s," Hinrich said. "I just take them when it's available."

Iverson finally hit a fadeaway jumper for the Sixers' first field goal since Rodney Carney's put-back with 6:59 left in the first half, but the Bulls continued to pour it on for their second straight lopsided home win.

They beat the Knicks by 33 on Tuesday and followed up wins at New York and Minnesota with another impressive showing against a struggling Sixers team. With the next two games against Washington and Indiana, Chicago has a chance to keep the streak going.

It would help if they had an effective Joakim Noah.

He entered to loud cheers with 3:33 left in the first quarter and finished with a point and two rebounds in 7 minutes after missing seven games with plantar fasciitis in his left foot. That Noah was in uniform was a surprise considering Del Negro had said he probably wouldn't play.

Warrick, in his first home game since the trade deadline deal with Milwaukee, whipped the crowd into a frenzy late in the opening quarter, when he pivoted and threw down a one-handed facial over Young. The groans were just as loud moments later when Noah missed a dunk even though he was all alone, and he heard it from his teammates.

Otherwise, he felt fine.

"I really feel no pain, and I feel really good that we're playing such good basketball right now," he said.

Game notes

The Bulls' previous low for turnovers was five against Washington on Feb. 23, 2007. ... Sixers G Willie Green missed his second game with a slightly separated left shoulder. F Jason Smith missed his third straight game with a sprained right ankle, and newcomer Francisco Elson, recovering from hernia surgery, was not in uniform.
