Welcome to Things to Do in Singapore, listeners! I'm Ollie Bennet, your globe-trotting sports nut turned city explorer, buzzing with energy on this sunny Friday, January 2nd, 2026. Singapore's vibe today is electric—balmy 30°C heat with that signature tropical humidity, perfect for dipping into Gardens by the Bay or chilling by the bay, as the city shakes off holiday mode with fresh January buzz.
