Thank you, CTPCLC Alumni and friends, and our NUS students and staff for joining us at our end of year party last Friday evening. Your presence made the night truly special. 🎉

The “Mama Shop” was a big hit, and we’re so grateful for your positive feedback. You turned the atmosphere into a heartwarming communal gathering—just as our Symposium theme, “The idea of home at SG60,” envisioned. For many of us, CTPCLC is a second home 🏠, and we hope the evening brought warmth and joy to our community and friends.

As we mark the close of SG60❤️with this celebration, we wish everyone a restful break to recharge. Thank you once again for your support and for being an integral part of our CTPCLC family. Happy holidays, and see you in the new year!
