HWM (Singapore)

MIX AND MATCH

- Zachary Chan Editor

The combinatio­n of sequential holidays and festivals, since December 2021 along with the ongoing pandemic means that the new year has been off to a sluggish start as everyone is trying to get back into the groove of things. We had a brief spike of excitement in January as CES 2022 actually happened as an in-person event, giving us a flurry of announceme­nts and cool new technology showcases. But I will be honest with you that work has been on a backburner after CES concluded, as preparatio­ns for the Chinese Lunar New Year took precedence.

Thinking back, I never really got into the celebratio­ns with as much fervor since I was a kid, and I realised that the pandemic has given me a renewed reason to celebrate as hard as I can, whenever possible. It helps to lift the spirits and go on. And here, I am thankful that as a technology editor, I have front row seats to how tech is able to bring families and friends closer together even if we can’t do it physically.

For this issue of HWM, I decided to lighten up on the heavier topics and present a healthy mix of entertainm­ent and productivi­ty. Whether you’re WFH, WFO, Hybrid-anything, these are the new gadgets and games to look out for. Enjoy.
