On 4 July 2026, there was a preview in Keppel, Cantonment and Prince Edward Road stations with pop-up games, booths and shop. The 3 stations complete the circle line more than 17 years after it first opened. I made a video walking through all the new stations, exploring the new station designs and pop-up activities.

I found a video uploaded in October 2006 by @starmisthalo514 that still has 0 views, 0 likes, and 0 comments nearly 20 years later. It's the channel's only upload, and the channel appears to have no subscribers.
This might be the least-viewed YouTube video I've ever seen that's this old.
According to the latest Weekly Infectious Diseases Bulletin released by the Communicable Diseases Agency (E-week 25), the positivity rate of influenza among ILI samples is 34%. That means more than 1 in 3 tests are positive.
To protect yourself and the people around you from catching infectious diseases, it is recommended that you wear a mask in the MRT and buses, wash your hands frequently and stay home if you are unwell except for seeing a doctor. Thank you.
I found a video uploaded in November 2006 with only 2 views, 0 likes, and 0 comments by the channel neli301.
The channel has several other uploads from the same era, most with fewer than 10 views, and has no subscribers. After almost 20 years, some parts of early YouTube have remained almost completely undiscovered.
Between 5.50pm and 6.20pm today, I was at Pink Dot which was at Hong Lim Park, right outside Clarke Quay MRT Station to take pictures to share and remember this event. Since it is Pink Dot 18, I have decided to upload 18 photos of the various booths and surroundings of the event, notably featuring Proud Spaces, TransgenderSG, Pelangi Pride Centre and many more organisations!
Today is exactly 7 years since PewDiePie uploaded “Minecraft Part 1” — the start of his Minecraft series that became one of the most iconic YouTube gaming runs.
The first episode is now nearing 60 million views, and the series ended up being a huge moment for Minecraft on YouTube in 2019, introducing the game to new viewers and bringing a lot of people back to it as well.
It’s kind of crazy how a simple “I’m back playing Minecraft” video turned into something so memorable. You remember when he hit the iron golem?
If you haven’t revisited it in a while, it’s good to look back:
In 2 days, it'll be 7 years since PewDiePie uploaded the first episode of his Minecraft series. That first video is now approaching 60 million views, and the series became one of the biggest YouTube gaming phenomena of 2019.
If you haven't watched it in a while or at all, this might be a good time to look back at where it all started:
I was browsing old YouTube videos and came across a video with the title "mov" uploaded on September 1, 2006 by the channel "wozhendefengle".
As of today, it has only 4 views, 0 likes, and 0 comments. The channel itself has just one other video, uploaded 19 years ago, with 6 views. The channel has no subscribers.
This is one of, if not the least-viewed surviving YouTube channels I've ever found, considering the videos are nearly 20 years old.

Has anyone found an older video with fewer views?
The above are taken from the Weekly Infectious Diseases Bulletin released by the Communicable Diseases Agency in E-week 21 (24 to 30 May 2026), comparing with E-week 15 (12 to 18 April 2026).
ARI refers to Acute Respiratory Infection which is mostly caused by viruses like Influenza and Covid-19, and causes people to develop symptoms like coughing, sneezing, sore throat, runny nose, headaches, muscle aches and fever.
The average daily number of patients seeking treatments in the polyclinics for ARI has increased from 2531 to 3169, the highest this year.
Additionally, the positivity rate of Influenza and Covid-19 cases have increased from 3% and 8% respectively to 17% and 13% respectively.
There has been a large poster put up at Kovan MRT station reminding commuters to wash their hands frequently, wear a mask and stay home if sick. I will advise seeing a doctor if you have ARI symptoms.
There are also hand sanitisers at most MRT stations and it will be good for commuters to sanitise their hands.
Stay vigilant out there, and remember, mask up!
An unlisted video by Jawed, one of the co-founders of YouTube was found. The title is Jungle soundscape and it is over 10 hours long. It was uploaded a little over 7 years ago. This is the link to the video.
I saw these posters at Kovan MRT station yesterday. Additionally according to the Straits Times, weekly Covid-19 cases is estimated to have risen to 12700.
Remember, good hygiene always matters!
Recently I saw a sign put up by some classmates at my high school that addressed everyone as “guys,” and it got me thinking about how that word is used.
I know a lot of people use “guys” as a general term for a group regardless of gender, but as someone who doesn't identify with the gender binary, it still often feels masculine to me.
Like, I understand most people don’t mean any harm by it, but the word itself still comes from a male-gendered term, so sometimes it can feel a bit excluding even when it’s meant to be inclusive.
Does anyone else here feel similarly, or am I overthinking it?
I saw Kinder Joy at 7-Eleven recently and noticed they still split the product into “boy” and “girl” versions with different colours, themes, and character designs.
As someone who does not exactly identify with the gender binary, it feels a bit strange seeing products still marketed so heavily around a strict gender binary, especially for something as simple as a chocolate toy.
It made me wonder why companies still don’t offer a more neutral option alongside the existing ones.
Does anyone else here notice or feel uncomfortable with this kind of gendered marketing?
There is a particular policy in Singapore that I personally feel is gender discriminatory, namely caning in judicial and school contexts. Apart from that, I don't think caning solves the root cause of wrongdoing, inflicts physical and possibly psychological harm which is highly criticised by a reputable human rights organisation, Amnesty International. I have created a petition to call for its abolition so you can check out:
I’ve been seeing YouTube roll out AI-based age verification, which may include things like facial scans or ID checks to confirm a user's age.
It feels a bit uncomfortable that accessing certain content could involve sharing more sensitive personal data with a third party.
In reality, “confirm your age” can quickly turn into handing over more personal information than people are comfortable with, and there’s always some concern about how that data is stored or handled. There are also privacy and data misuse risks.
There’s a petition about this that now has 4,800+ supporters, so it’s clear others are also thinking about it.

Today marks 16 years since PewDiePie started his channel.
From early Let’s Plays to becoming the biggest YouTuber in the world, and then completely changing his content style over time — it’s kind of crazy how much of YouTube’s history he’s been part of.
Out of curiosity I went back and checked what he’s been posting recently, and it’s honestly very different from what I remember during the 2013–2020 era.
If you haven’t looked at his channel in a while, it might be interesting to see how it’s changed:

What era of his content do you remember most?
