Welcome to Singapore's Anime Extravaganza, Cozy Crafts, and Cultural Delights

Welcome to Singapore's Anime Extravaganza, Cozy Crafts, and Cultural Delights

Welcome to Things to Do in Singapore, your daily guide to adventure in this incredible city! I'm Ollie Bennett, and I'm absolutely buzzing today—Friday, November 28th, 2025—because Singapore is absolutely popping off right now. The weather is a bit moody with light showers and overcast skies, temperatures hovering around 81 to 83 degrees Fahrenheit, but don't let that rain dampen your spirit. This is the perfect atmospheric backdrop for an epic day of exploration!Let me hit you with the main events electrifying the city today. First up, Anime Festival Asia is in full swing at Suntec Convention and Exhibition Centre through Sunday, and listeners, this is genuinely spectacular. We're talking movie screenings, meet-and-greets with massive industry names, exclusive merchandise booths, and the I Love Anisong Music Festival kicking off tonight at 7 PM. Japanese rock band Spyair is performing, and that's just the appetizer. Tickets start at just 25 dollars for exhibition access.Christmas Memorabilia is happening at the MINT Museum of Toys if you're feeling nostalgic and festive. There's also "As With the Wind," a theatrical production exploring two estranged sisters confronting buried memories and unspoken pain—perfect if you want your emotions absolutely wrecked in the best way possible.For the cultural enthusiasts out there, "The Next Brew: Young Perspectives on Kopi and Culture" is a moderated panel discussion featuring three brilliant young Singaporeans diving deep into coffee culture. And here's something quirky that I absolutely love—there's a Relief Printing and Embroidery workshop running through December 6th where you can literally carve your own stamps and stitch patterns onto fabric. How cool is that?Now, here's my local pro tip for navigating Singapore like a true insider. The city transforms dramatically depending on which neighborhood you explore. The Bras Basah Bugis precinct has an entirely different vibe from the Marina Bay area, and both are worth experiencing. Plus, Singapore's incredible food scene is absolutely hidden in the most unassuming hawker centers—don't judge by appearance, judge by the queues of locals waiting.My absolute must-do recommendation today? Hit the Anime Festival Asia if you're even remotely interested in pop culture, grab some festival food, and catch that concert tonight. The energy will be absolutely electric. If anime isn't your jam, wander through one of Singapore's heritage neighborhoods, grab some kopi from a traditional kopitiam, and just soak in the multicultural atmosphere that makes this city genuinely magical.Tomorrow, the festivities continue with more Anime Festival Asia action, plus you've got the Singapore Design Week really firing on all cylinders with over 60 events, and there's even an opera experience happening at DnA Fest. So listeners, stay tuned tomorrow for more incredible discoveries across this amazing city.Thanks for listening, please subscribe, and remember—this episode was brought to you by Quiet Please podcast networks.

Buzzing Merlion Vibes, Coin Fever, & Sentosa Thrills - Your Monday in Singapore

Hey listeners, welcome to “Things to do in Singapore”—I’m Oly Bennet, your global sport-loving, quirk-chasing explorer with the inside scoop on the Lion City. Today is Monday, November 24, 2025, and Singapore is waking up muggy and vibrant, with those classic passing tropical showers and a steamy 29 degrees Celsius. It’s windy, it's humid, and just a touch unpredictable—so don’t forget your umbrella or, if you’re like me, a waterproof hat shaped like a merlion. You never know when that’ll become on-trend!Singapore’s current vibe is buzzing at full force—locals and travelers have spilled into the city’s malls, the hawker centers are picking up breakfast business, and every third person is plotting their next bubble tea stop. Right now, Jewel Changi Airport is a hotspot as Noguchi Coin launches its first-ever pop-up store outside Japan, promising mountains of adorable collectibles and an absolute feast for coin geeks. If you want your wallet to feel heavier, or just your pockets lined with cuteness, make a detour there!Family fun gets a turbo boost with Navy@Vivo at VivoCity, running all day until 9 PM. You can climb aboard RSS Resolution, ride a fast craft, meet Navy divers, check out live shows from the SAF Music and Drama Company, and even catch a glimpse of some wild training demonstrations. I’m convinced every kid will leave ready to join the next Pirates of Sentosa Island! If you see a suspiciously energetic bloke arm-wrestling a sailor, that’s probably me.Culture lovers, hold onto your sarees and salwar kameez because Esplanade’s Kalaa Utsavam – Indian Festival of Arts is firing on all cylinders. Dive into music, dance, and storytelling right at the heart of Marina Bay. You can catch world-class Indian performances and nibble samosas until your toes tap the tabla beat.Tonight, venues spotlight international and local talent. British pop band Blue is playing The Star Theatre and yes, they’re still “Breathing Easy” after all these years. Whether you love power ballads or 2000s nostalgia, it’s the singalong opportunity of a lifetime. For nightlife, the legendary Zouk pumps Singapore’s party heartbeat well into the morning with retro, EDM, and possibly a spontaneous limbo contest—bring your best footwork, awkward dance moves welcome!In city news, today sees the Sarawak Mega Fair lighting up downtown Singapore, with a showcase on sustainable tourism, investment, and medical travel. It's perfect for those keen on eco-adventures or curious about Sarawak’s wonders—think orangutans, rainforests, and very serious food feasts. Over in food-world, several hawker stalls in Tanjong Pagar have added spicy crab rolls to their menus—turn lunch into an Olympic event and see who can handle their chili!Must-do activities today? Zip up Sentosa’s Island Cable Car for panoramic views (and thrilling wind in your hair), grab kaya toast at Maxwell Food Centre, or wander Chinatown’s alleys to spot brilliantly weird souvenirs and hidden tea houses. If you’re dodging the rain, catch an indie flick at Cathay Cineplexes or sample dessert at Jewel Changi’s food zone—Durian ice cream, anyone?Local tip: If you ride the MRT today, score a seat by carefully timing your entry—those “empty trains” at off-peak hours are not a myth, they’re a sport! Pro tip from taxi uncles: late night rides along the AYE give the best cityscape views, especially when the thunderstorms add dramatic flair.Keep your eyes out, because tomorrow Singapore ramps up with even more festival action, live concerts, and a rumored rooftop yoga meet that promises views as stunning as the poses! Join me again for another round of offbeat discoveries from the lion city.Thanks for listening, please subscribe, and remember—this episode was brought to you by Quiet Please podcast networks.

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

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

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.Thanks for listening, please subscribe, and remember—this episode was brought to you by Quiet Please podcast networks.
