Is it just us, or did this week zoom past? We’d say it’s the F1 effect, but maybe that’s too obvious.

While Singapore might be known for its towering skyscrapers and modern feats of architecture, there’s something charming about the city’s street art scene that gives it that bit of edge. These colourful works are often located in heritage-rich neighbourhoods like Little India, Joo Chiat, and Kampong Gelam, hidden away in the backstreets or covering the facade of old shophouses. The next time you’re out and about, go on a hunt for these street art murals before they’re painted over and gone forever.

Technology, science and society collide at In The Ether, an annual ArtScience Museum festival that presents thought-provoking concepts through installations, art, talks and more. This year, the festival explores “sanctuary technologies”, which is described as ideas, practices and experiments that can work alongside humans to make our everyday lives easier and better. Think of these computers as your friend, not the enemy – they’re here to share knowledge and help us thrive. Among the highlights is Mimus, a curious and playful giant robot arm. Created by roboticist-artist Dr Madeline Gannon and her research studio ATONATON, the android is made of heavy-duty factory machinery that’s been transformed into an interactive system that responds to movement and presence. So, although Mimus can’t actually “see” you, she knows you’re there. And if she likes you, she might even take a closer look. The programme also includes a series of hands-on workshops. Learn how to make your own microchip, create a small digital archive, and discover the inner workings of contemporary artificial intelligence. Workshops are free, but require registration – sign up here.

House music royalty Lil Louis is about to bless Rasa Space with his legendary presence for one night only. Born Louis Burns, the Chicago producer started his musical journey at just 12 years old, when he stepped in to DJ for a party. Ever since, he’s been a fixture on dancefloors, helping shape the sound and culture of house music along the way. One of his most iconic tracks is 'French Kiss', a record that’s been highly regarded as a genre-defining classic. It sold more than 6 million copies, topped the charts, and was even sampled by pop stars including Madonna. As his career grew, Louis also went on to collaborate with artists like Jay-Z, Lil Kim, Babyface, Meshell N’degeocello, Donna Summer, Basement Jaxx and more. Supporting the evening are two homegrown DJs, who will keep the dancefloor warm all night. Suffiyan will kick things off with downtempo, deep house and ambient, while Xinyi, a former house dancer turned DJ, matches the momentum with a soulful mix of her own.

The Nanson is going neon for the Singapore Grand Prix weekend. For an exclusive night, the private members' club is opening its doors to the public with PR1X: DISTRICT RED, an evening of revelry inspired by fast cities, late nights and the region’s magnetic energy. Explore three immersive realms, Rouge Temple, Dragon Den and Saloon, each offering a different experience that imagines the backstreets of Hong Kong, old-school Chinatown and vintage hotel lounges. The main room gets busy with a trio of acts behind the decks. Hong Kong’s Willer leads the charge, joined by retro-futuristic duo HE.R Soundsystem and Singapore’s very own Sivanesh. Meanwhile, DJs Belloy and Watch Her Bern team up, moving between sleek electronic cuts and house guilty pleasures. But if gritty, hedonistic sounds are more your speed, then check out Dodgy Yamamoto’s set, where he brings tribal rhythms and underground house to a darker corner of the night. Oh, and the dress code? Silk, velvet and everything vice. So think bold fits, glam evening wear and sunglasses after dark.

Local type collective Death of Typography is taking over Mad Roaster’s Slow Bar once again for the second edition of Type & Tapas. The community event invites type enthusiasts and creatives for a casual and intimate evening discussing design over, you guessed it, good food and drinks. The speaker lineup this time includes local artists Darius Ou, Mark De Winne, Lee Qiu Wen and Abigail Ng, who will share their journeys into type. At the centre of the event is a quiz that asks one very important question: what’s your type? No, not your dating preference, but your archetype. Uncover one of eight personalities and get matched with a typeface designed to reflect your character. Plus, once you’ve gotten your result, you can wander around the room and see who might be your typographic twin. Consider this your icebreaker, if you need one. Elsewhere, you can browse a selection of books celebrating all things typography. Each entry ticket also comes with your choice of a dish or drink, served with a special card illustrated by a local artist and coloured by a refugee.

Here’s a makers market that offers more than just your usual fare of indie arts and crafts. At the Makers Archives, discover over 20 local creatives, from poets, storytellers and floral designers to fibre artists, illustrators, zine makers and more, each handpicked to share the stories behind their creations. Some booths to check out include Crafty Gadis for playful stationery, Mimo.Made for miniature clay art, IYO for colourful reusable grocery bags, and Impish Inklings for a collection of handmade linocut prints and stickers. Fancy a poem written just for you? Look out for A Poet’s Theory, who will be on hand for personalised typewritten poetry consultations, while invited wordsmiths take the stage with live spoken-word performances. Don’t forget to swing by the Javanese aksara calligraphy booth, too, and have your name turned into a keepsake. Choose from three lesser-known writing scripts: Hanacaraka (Java), Lontara (Bugis, South Sulawesi) and Baybayin (Tagalog, Philippines). Round things out with a bit of storytelling – draw from an oracle card deck and listen to a Nusantara folktale inspired by your pick.

A new nightlife venue has opened up at the corner of Boat Quay, which means there’s a new hangout space for you and the crew. Founded by the team at Offtrack, Earworm is a cross between a music space, a pub and a diner. Basically, a pretty darn cool bar, if you ask us. To celebrate its opening, it’s hosting a housewarming party with a lineup of Thai Molam music. Warming up the stage is Maft Sai, the founder Zudrangma Records, who brings his brand of Thai funk and Southeast Asian folk for a live DJ set. His legendary band, Paradise Bangkok, join after. The bar and kitchen are expected to dole out classic cocktails, beers and Asian-inspired dishes throughout the evening. Stay on as the night transitions into a full-on dancefloor. Boogie the night away with Pam Anantr and Darker Than Wax’s Dean Chew as they take over the decks until the lights go out. Due to limited capacity, reservations are required for the first half of the night, while walk-ins are only welcomed after 11pm. Book your table here.

West-siders, drool over this: Isetan’s Japanese food fair is heading your way for the first time. The Momiji Matsuri Fair turns Jurong Point into a Japanese-inspired street market with over 20 F&B vendors offering tasty autumnal treats to usher in the fall season. Expect seafood delicacies from Ijima Shoten, takoyaki bites from Nakayama Shokuhin, fried favourites from Mitamura and an assortment of desserts from Yakimono Club. If your mouth isn’t watering already, then it will now – keep an eye out for reigning fried chicken champion Higo Marunoya, which will be frying up its signature crispy karaage. Come with an empty belly, but leave with a fully stocked pantry, too. As you move – and munch – your way through the fair, you can also pick up fresh produce like black garlic, Pione grapes, Akizuki pears and jars of sakura honey. Complete your shopping at the accompanying artisan market, where you can browse a curated selection of Japanese-themed crafts.

Did you know that October 2 is World Batik Day? If you didn’t know, you do now. Celebrate the traditional textile art with Worn. Made. Shared, a joint effort between the Malay Heritage Centre and Galeri Tokokita. The week-long programme offers workshops, discussions and exhibitions that take a closer look at the intricate art form. There’s also a guided walk exploring Kampong Gelam and the history of batik businesses in the iconic precinct.But more than cloth worn on special occasions, batik is a living heritage that carries generations of stories and artistic traditions. Get to know it better through Sari Seni, a series of public lectures co-organised with the NUS Department of Malay Studies. The programme features two conversations – The Art Worlds and Poetics and Politics of Art – with local artists Tumadi Patri and Ho Chee Lick on the speaker lineup. The two will also present a selection of their batik artwork at a special two-day showcase that closes out the festivities. You can sign up for the lectures here.

The next flower taking centre stage at Gardens by the Bay is none other than the sunflower. The latest floral display transforms the Flower Dome into a colourful postcard of Portugal for the first time, featuring more than 5,000 vibrant blooms in 20 varieties. The backdrop is inspired by the country’s scenic countryside and coastal towns, with recreations of Portuguese landmarks and streetscapes, including Alfama, one of Lisbon’s oldest neighbourhoods, and iconic Porto shopfronts. As you move through the field of flowers, you’ll encounter a 6-metre-tall replica of the famous Belém Lighthouse. Fully immerse yourself in Portuguese culture with Experience Portugal on 10 October. For one day only, savour authentic Portuguese flavours through food and wine tasting sessions. Get a taste of its traditional cheeses, canned fish, cured ham and more. There will also be screenings of two Portuguese movies, Mother Knows Best and Dimensão S3, alongside folk dance performances, poetry readings and a book discussion on Fernando Pessoa’s The Book of Disquiet. At the centre of the free programme is a photography exhibition that captures the European country’s shared history with Singapore, tracing the connection between our language, traditions and communities.

A love story about a gay North Korean defector. A crime comedy about a trio of elderly friends and their dine-and-dash adventures. A hilarious family road trip that takes a sinister turn. If there’s one thing this year’s Korean Film Festival in Singapore is trying to prove, it’s that Korean cinema is anything but predictable. The festival opens with The Journey to Gyeong-ju, director Kim Mi-jo’s latest dark comedy about revenge, grief and the complexities of sisterhood. The programme also includes recent releases like Mad Dance Office and The Price of Goodbye, plus film festival award winners such as Hana Korea, which received the Flash Forward Audience Award at the 2025 Busan International Film Festival. Classics are on the lineup, too. For the zombie fans, don’t miss the anniversary screening of Yeon Sang-ho’s landmark film, Train to Busan. The movie starring Gong Yoo celebrates a decade since its release with a 4K restoration of the blockbuster horror. Elsewhere, cosy up under the stars at *SCAPE Playspace for a special free outdoor movie screening of the 2001 coming-of-age flick, Take Care of My Cat. Check out the full festival schedule here.

If your post-race activities involve loads of music and dancing, Zouk’s got you covered. The Circuit is the nightlife venue’s programme for the F1 weekend, featuring all-star DJ sets spread across the Mainroom and the Capital. Friday night (9 October) kicks off with Greek producer Argy, known for churning out haunting yet melodic techno hits like 'Tataki and 'Aria'. His track record includes regular international festival appearances, having played the main stages at Tomorrowland and Electric Daisy Carnival. If you’re a hip-hop fan, then mark your calendar for Saturday (10 October). Grammy-winning producer Mustard, who has worked with rap stars like Kendrick Lamar, Young Thug and A$AP Rocky, takes over the deck with his bass-shaking beats. Meanwhile, South Korea’s Siena holds it down on her own with a performance that moves between genres, remixing throwback pop anthems into rave-ready music. Want to skip the race entirely and go straight to the party? Starting Thursday (8 October), Capital is throwing back-to-back nights of flowing bottles and resident DJs spinning ’til late.

  Tan Leong KitPhoto: Donn Tan Tan Leong Kit, 86Owner of ‘Y u so like that!’ drink stall How long have you been living in Ubin? I’ve been living here since 1989. What do you do every day on the island? I live on the island on weekdays and go back to Singapore on the weekends to stay with my family. While I’m in Ubin, I usually make sure I keep myself fit by either exercising or gardening, apart from taking care of the shop. I encounter different types of people every day, who come by the store, especially expats and tourists. Favourite part of Ubin? I enjoy every part of the island because the air is really clean here.

What’s it like living in Ubin? Every day is a pretty easy life. Living here is stress-free. As you get older, it’s harder to find jobs, and Singapore can get really competitive. Shop rentals are high, too. I watch television programmes from time to time as I run the shop and attend to customers. However, business here isn’t too great and I still have to pay my shop’s $1,700 electricity bill each month. Favourite part of Ubin? [Laughs] My shop, lor.

It's a sad day for Inuka lovers. The beloved senior polar bear, who was born in the Singapore Zoo, had been suffering from old age illnesses and the wildlife park has announced that he has passed on peacefully this morning (Apr 25).

Unless you've been living under a rock, then you've probably already heard about Hollywood's upcoming summer rom-com Crazy Rich Asians. Based on Singaporean author Kevin Kwan's best-selling novel of the same name, the film tells the story of a woman who travels to Singapore to meet with her boyfriend's family for the very first time – and they're nothing like what she expects them to be. Starring Constance Wu and Henry Golding, the movie takes a peek into the extra lavish and glitzy lives of, well, crazy rich Asians. And it's just dropped its latest trailer. The cast and crew were seen filming here last June, so we weren't surprised to see the clip peppered with glamorous shots of the city. We put our skills to the test and try to spot and guess the iconic landmarks and familiar streets featured: 1) The Merlion Screenshot via YouTube 2) Marina Bay Sands, ArtScience Museum and the Singapore Flyer Screenshot via YouTube 3) East Coast Parkway Screenshot via YouTube 4) Bukit Pasoh Road Screenshot via YouTube 5) Gardens by the Bay Screenshot via YouTube 6) Chijmes Screenshot via YouTube 7) Newton Food Centre Screenshot via YouTube 8) Marina Bay Sands (again) Screenshot via YouTube 9) Infinity Pool at Marina Bay Sands Screenshot via YouTube You can watch the trailer below and see if we missed any!  Are you excited for Crazy Rich Asians?

Every Monday, a guest writer who's "in" with the scene shares a recommendation on what to see, eat, do or buy in the city. This week, we chat with Willy Tan of content agency Aging Youth, which specialises in talent management and music publishing, to talk about the local music scene and his favourite homegrown heroes. What gets you excited about Singapore? I don’t think there’s just one singular thing that gets me excited. It’s the place where I grew up – my family and friends are here. There are always things to do and places to hang out. In fact, sometimes, there might be too many events to go to, but I think that's actually a good problem. #PassionMadePossible! Where’s your favourite place to listen to live music in Singapore? I’ve always loved Fort Canning Green as a venue. It’s spacious and the best part, no one gets in your face too much. Plus it's got a gentle slope, so everyone gets a decent view of the stage.  What are your thoughts on the current local music scene?  I guess technology pushed the music discovery process, allowing more Singaporeans to gain faster and get easier access to new music content. The underground and indie kids will remain the same. They will be there to support their friends and the acts they like. When they grow older with different responsibilities in life, they move on and the next generation of

Every Monday, a guest writer who's "in" with the scene shares a recommendation on what to see, eat, do or buy in the city. This week, we chat with homegrown director Kirsten Tan – best known for her phenomenal work Pop Aye (it also made it on our list for best Singaporean movies of 2017!) – on what the local film community is like and her collaboration with the upcoming Swedish Film Festival that's happening from April 12 to 15. What gets you excited about Singapore? The buzz and dynamism of 24-hour back-alley kopitiams where real life happens, outlierswho go against the grain of this conformist society and Tai Hwa bak chor mee! What should moviegoers and film lovers check out in Singapore? Firstly, there's Asian Film Archives. What I like about the organisation is that they are not influenced by market forces, which allows their film and art programming to be more esoteric. There's also The Projector – I really like the space it occupies between mainstream and arthouse. It functions almost as tastemakers, a diving board for Singaporean audiences to experience a broader range of cinema. Lastly, of course, is Singapore International Film Festival.
