As the Covid-19 virus continues to threaten the world, countries have implemented safety measures of their own. Here in Singapore, one of these measures is the mandatory wearing of facial masks.
However, mask designs can be rather boring and mundane, very often made of a single colour.
Wheniwasfour, a store in Singapore selling locally inspired apparel and accessories recently released 3 mask designs that will have you feeling sentimental and keeping safe at the same time.
Our favourite of the 3 is no doubt the Good Citizen（好公民）masks in dark green.
Inspired by the Civil and Moral Education textbooks that accompanied us through primary school, the mask literally allows you to be a good citizen while keeping each other safe.
The Chinese Composition/Jotter Book mask is another design that caught our fancy.
Made from brown fabric, you won’t have to worry about curry or kopi stains showing if you were careless.
The Chinese Composition and Jotter Book design comes in adult and kid sizes respectively.
The ‘Good Morning Towel’ is an essential item in every Singapore household. Now you too can don the design while you’re out and about.
You won’t be the only one having a pleasant morning with this mask on. You’ll likely have success cheering up others who find themselves in your presence too.
The masks are available in kid and adult sizes and cost $10.90 each.
Wheniwasfour has also launched other uniquely Singaporean items to celebrate the upcoming National Day.
This Super Rings-inspired pop socket ($11.90) will serve as a handy stand when you’re live streaming the NDP parade.
But if you’re more of a potato chips fan, this Calbee Callme Hot & Spicy one ($11.90) would likely be more up your alley.
You can also show off your patriotism by fitting one of these calendar pins ($8.90) to your bag.
If you’d like to get your hands on the Hao Gong Min mask or some of the other items. Jio your friends and collate your online hauls together — shipping is free for orders above $49.90.
