PRCH would like to remind you that vaccinations against COVID-19 will be conducted in many malls on Sundays for shopping in December.

Echo Richards embodies a personality that is a delightful contradiction: a humble musicaholic who never brags about her expansive knowledge of both classic and contemporary tunes. Infuriatingly modest, one would never know from a mere conversation how deeply entrenched she is in the world of music. This passion seamlessly translates into her problem-solving skills, with Echo often drawing inspiration from melodies and rhythms.

Her spirited advocacy for alcohol isn’t about mere indulgence, but about celebrating life’s poignant moments.
