  • Things To Do in Singapore: Dazzling Nights, Artful Days, and Local Delights

    Things To Do in Singapore: Dazzling Nights, Artful Days, and Local Delights
    Nov 16 2025
    Welcome, globe-trotters and curious adventurers, to Things To Do in Singapore! I’m your roving, joke-cracking sports nut Oly Bennet, bringing you a whirlwind lowdown on what’s hot this Sunday, November 16, 2025. Singapore is buzzing—right now it’s humid, push-your-hair-back sticky, but there’s a cool excitement in the air. Streets are lively, malls are packed, and by the time the sunset flexes its colors, you’re going to want your schedule locked and loaded.

    Time for the main event: what’s shaking today? Hold onto your kopi—Singapore has a menu of wonders. The glitterati are out at Marina Bay Sands for the Weibo Cultural Exchange Night, a shimmering gala packed with Asian stars, live performances, and awards—a true red-carpet party spotlighting creativity and philanthropy. If you’re pining for pure artistic energy, National Gallery Singapore is throwing a 10th birthday bash with free art experiences, live music, and street eats ranging from the classic MILO van to treats like tutu kueh. It’s family-friendly, fun, and festive until 10 pm!

    All you culture buffs, the Peranakan Museum is making waves with Community Voices: A Peranakan Indian Kaleidoscope, dishing out interactive exhibits and music. Over at Suntec Singapore, The Feast by the Light of Jesus Family is filling hearts and bellies with a soulful gathering until 4 pm. Kids bouncing off the walls? Unleash them at Giggle Jungle for some slide races and a three-storey spiral slide—or head to the Defence Collective Festival with aviation, navy, and army fun across three museums, all with free entry.

    Can’t resist a great story? Today’s your final call to see Dear Evan Hansen at the Sands Theatre—a musical triumph lighting up the town. Need a dose of nature? Sunflower Surprise is in full bloom in the Flower Dome at Gardens by the Bay, and the Botanic Gardens are buzzing with vibrant art from the LASALLE College showcase, plus guided orchid tours for that instant Instagram boost.

    Now for the fresh local scoop: Singapore’s food scene is percolating—word on the street is a new Japanese-style bakery just opened in Tiong Bahru, promising yuzu pastries as zingy as a lion dance! On the transport front, get ready: the Downtown MRT Line rolled out extra peak hour trains this week. Translation—less time sweating under your backpack, more time tearing up the dance floor or ogling art.

    Every Oly travel tip is hard-earned: if you’re out exploring, always bring a foldable umbrella. Not for rain dodging—it's perfect for carving out your own sliver of shade when you need it most. Bonus points if it’s neon pink; you’ll never lose your friends in a crowd again!

    A sneak peek for the eager and the bold: tomorrow the Community Shakeout Run launches from Red Dot Design Museum at 7 am—bring your wildest shades and join the throng. Need something more melodic? The Homecoming concert at Singapore Conference Hall guarantees chills, and the Pet Fair at Singapore Expo keeps tails wagging all week.

  • Singapore's Art, Magic & Family Fun - Your Weekend Guide

    Singapore's Art, Magic & Family Fun - Your Weekend Guide
    Nov 15 2025
    Welcome, listeners, to Things to Do in Singapore with your globetrotting sports nut Oly Bennet! Buckle up, because it’s Saturday, November 15th, 2025, and Singapore is pulsing with an energy hotter than a freshly poured laksa. Outside, the humidity’s giving your hair a run for its money but the skies are mostly clear, setting the perfect backdrop while downtown buzzes with art parties, pop-culture extravaganzas, and enough quirky family shenanigans to keep even the most energetic kid—like me after too much Milo—entertained.

    First: let’s talk the city’s current vibe. Singapore is partying for a reason! Downtown’s National Gallery is in birthday mode, turning 10 years old and flinging open its doors with free artsy shindigs for all ages. But the real blockbuster? Into the Modern: Impressionism from MFA Boston is opening, and for the first time in Southeast Asia, you can feast your peepers on over 100 masterpieces from Monet, Renoir, Cézanne, and a glittering cast of art icons. Even Paris is jealous! Word on the (art deco) street is the Gallery is also bursting with pop-up food stalls, music, and hands-on workshops, so art-lovers, get moving.

    Meanwhile, for fans of wizardry and wild imagination, Resorts World Sentosa has whipped up the Asia premiere of Harry Potter: Visions of Magic. Picture this: interactive wand-waving, spellbinding installations, and the legendary Chamber of Secrets brought to life just for Singapore! You don’t need your Hogwarts letter—tickets get you in, butterbeer gets you hyped, and you get bragging rights.

    Families, are you ready? Head over to the brand new Jurong Eco-Garden playground for rope pyramids, kid-sized adventures, and a leafy break from city bustle. Or, let the younglings loose at Riri’s Children Playloft, where Japanese-inspired wooden play spaces make parents as chill as the air con.

    Night owls and telly fans, sharpen those elbows for The Sheng Siong Show. This Mediacorp TV taping is live, loud, and loaded with games and prizes. Trust Singapore to make grocery shopping look like the Olympics of fun.

    Sprinkling on some cultural confetti: The National Museum’s Once Upon a Tide presents a sensory story of Singapore’s rise from humble port to global powerhouse, while the Asian Civilisations Museum’s Elegant Sounds exhibition immerses you in music, history, and craft.

    And hold onto your chopsticks, foodsters—Singapore’s first-ever all-you-can-eat ramen buffet just landed at Kiwami Ramen & Gyoza Bar, Guoco Tower. Brave the line for noodle nirvana and a true local’s lunchtime challenge.

    Don’t forget key city info: public transit is running smooth, but heads up—Haw Par Villa MRT station now boasts vibrant new murals and extra escalators, perfect for making your journey a dash more photogenic.

    Must-dos for today: stroll through Gardens by the Bay’s autumn floral display (it’s lush, it’s cool, it’s selfie heaven), snap that pic in front of the Marina Bay Sands skyline, and treat yourself to an Impressionist-inspired afternoon tea at the Fairmont’s ANTI:DOTE lounge. It’s what Monet would have done after painting lilies.

    Local tip from Oly: In Singapore, nobody reserves seats with a towel at the pool—but keep an eye out for ‘chope’ packets of tissue on hawker centre tables. That’s a sign the table’s claimed! Respect the chope or risk incurring the wrath of a hungry lunch crowd.

    Lining up for tomorrow: The National Gallery’s birthday bash continues, the Harry Potter magic rages on, and rumor has it a pop-up kite festival may swarm Marina Barrage with color. Tune back in so you don’t miss a beat—or a butterbeer.

  • Uncover Singapore's Vibrant Weekend: Pets, Culture, and Nostalgia-Fueled Festivities

    Uncover Singapore's Vibrant Weekend: Pets, Culture, and Nostalgia-Fueled Festivities
    Nov 14 2025
    Welcome, fellow explorers and sports fans! Oly Bennet reporting in for “Things to do in Singapore,” your guide to turning any day on this vibrant island-city into a whirlwind adventure. Today is Friday, November 14, 2025, and Singapore’s serving up its signature mix of balmy tropical warmth with a splash of high humidity and a chance of afternoon showers—so, pack your umbrella and prepare to sweat with style!

    The city is running at full throttle, alive with energy from locals and travelers alike. Not only is His Majesty King Abdullah II of Jordan in town for a working visit, but the buzz is all about color, creativity, and an absolute smorgasbord of epic events.

    If you’re ready to dodge boredom like a pro athlete, here’s your playbook for today:

    Let’s kick off with the PetExpo Fiesta 2025 at Singapore EXPO Hall 7, open from 11am to 8pm. Expect furry friends strutting their stuff, workshops, and unique pet products—it’s paradise whether you have a pet, want a pet, or just want a selfie with a pet that looks like Chewbacca.

    Craving culture with a twist? Head to the Defence Collective Festival kicking off at the Singapore Discovery Centre, Navy Museum, and Air Force Museum, featuring warship-building, flight simulators, and plenty of camo gear—ideal for families or anyone who’s ever wanted to command a mini submarine without actually joining the navy.

    Wine lovers, raise your glasses at the Wine Connection Wine Tasting Fair at Capital Square, with over 100 varieties from 20 winemakers. Pro tip: your ticket comes with a wine voucher, so today, the only thing you have to fear is a grape overload.

    Tonight, slice through nostalgia at the Flashback - 2000s Party at the Hard Rock Cafe, starting at 10:30pm. Come dressed for the era, bust out those blink-182 moves, and get ready to relive your old-school cool—air-guitar solos are encouraged.

    If you want a dash of Broadway magic, the Wicked Festival at Resorts World Sentosa transforms the place into Oz until January, featuring a giant glowing witch’s hat, themed food, and fantastical light shows. Frankly, you’re not in Kansas anymore, but who wants to be?

    For the art aficionados, the National Gallery launches “Into the Modern: Impressionism from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston” today, showcasing masterpieces from Monet, Renoir, and more. Come for the art, stay for the discounted ticket if you book before November 30—because art and deals always score points!

    Hungry for news? Singapore’s food scene just got hotter with a slew of hawker stalls at Lau Pa Sat offering creative spins on satay and laksa. Word on the street is that the MRT Circle Line extension now means you can zip from Bayfront to Keppel faster than a soccer ball in penalty shootout. Don't forget Changi Festive Village—the Christmas Tree at Jewel is 16 meters tall, making everyone's holiday selfies next-level!

    Oly’s must-dos today:
    Try the Sunflower Surprise at Gardens by the Bay, where there are more than 3,000 sunflowers in hues you didn’t even know existed.

    Swing past Downtown East for the Unicorn Christmas Garden—pure Instagram gold for families or anyone who believes in living life with a sprinkle of fairy dust.

    Catch a show: Dear Evan Hansen is playing at the Sands Theatre, a multi-award-winning musical for anyone who loves an emotional ride set to show-stopping tunes.

    Local legend time! Did you know Singapore’s hawker culture is so beloved it was recognized by UNESCO? If you want to order like a local, say “kopi kosong” for your coffee without sugar (and watch the vendors light up with a smile).

    Teaser for tomorrow: Get ready for more riveting events, like the Kawaiimama Festival celebrating all things kawaii at Guoco Tower, and the Singapore Urban Sports & Fitness Festival launching city-wide—where you can try bouldering, parkour, and witness freestyle footballers who bend it better than Beckham.
