If you barely have any DIY experience but are thinking of embarking on a home project during the movement control order, here's a bit of advice from a enthusiastic DIYer: Start with simple projects.

"Just start," says woodworking enthusiast Low Tong How. "Though clichéd, I would say just start doing it. Start with smaller, easier projects, so that you don't overwhelm yourself, and go from there. There are plenty of resources on social media platforms to learn from. Just keep in mind that safety is of utmost priority. Respect the tools, always wear protective gear and start building something!" he urges.
