✍️ Editor’s Note

“Cheow Lan Lake is one of the rare places in the world where I felt time truly slow down. The density of the stars you will see when looking at the sky from the boat at midnight will be a frame you won’t forget for the rest of your life. Please remember to take only memories and leave only footprints in nature.”
