Oly Bennet here, your globetrotting sports nut and proudly self-proclaimed king of quirky competitions, welcoming all you fabulous listeners to Things to do in Singapore! It's Saturday, November 1, 2025, where the Lion City is buzzing with post-Halloween energy, blue skies, and maybe just the perfect sprinkle of tropical humidity to keep you motivated—and maybe slightly dewy—on your daily adventures.First up, let's take Singapore's current vibe for a spin. The city is flushed with festival fever, a touch of Halloween hangover, and a crisp shot of excitement as families, foodies, and music fans hit the streets. Whether you’re ducking into air-conditioned wonderlands or out braving the heat for an epic selfie, today’s got you covered.Now, ready for some action? Here’s a whistle-stop tour of the hottest happenings in Singapore today. Brace yourself:Sake fans, start your engines! Singapore’s biggest Sake Matsuri is rolling out at Jewel Changi Airport, level 4, Changi Experience Studio. It’s the 11th edition, and it’s a Halloween special—so expect not only more than 400 artisan sakes and signature spirits but also some spooky surprises. The event runs in three sessions between noon and 9 pm, and rumor has it, you can even score a collectible Sake Matsuri tasting glass. Hydration tip: Pace yourself between sake sips!If you’re looking to dial up the decibels, Baybeats 2025 at the Esplanade is your destination. Singapore’s largest free indie and alternative music festival features a marathon lineup of local and international bands with acts like Saints Amongst Sinners taking the stage at 5 and 7:30 pm. There’s Festival Village shopping, DIY craft workshops, and a friend-making (or, frankly, yarn-spinning) opportunity around every corner.Got kids, or just young at heart? Make a beeline for the Halloween Boo Bash tonight, 7 to 9:30 pm at Blk 782 Woodlands Crescent. The costumes, community games, and candy will be the stuff of suburban legend! If you’re more into book smarts than broomsticks, the Singapore Art Book Fair at Whitestone Gallery, Tanjong Pagar Distripark is in full swing. Expect zines, offbeat print ephemera, plus craft workshops for the creatively inclined.Oh, and because no one ever chills quite like a sunflower, the Sunflower Surprise at Gardens by the Bay rolls on—thousands of sunflowers all posing, waiting for your camera. Best Instagram backdrop in town, hands down.Switching gears to news you can use: If you’re hunting for a new food haunt, whispers on the gastronomic grapevine say that several hawker heroes have just set up shop around Tanjong Pagar—perfect fuel for your citywide wander. For those hopping the MRT, the system is running on its regular schedule, with extra services tonight for festival crowds. Your late-night laksa run is safe!Here are some can't-miss experiences: Try a scenic walk down the Southern Ridges, weaving from Mount Faber to HortPark—the views at dawn or dusk are unbeatable. If hidden treasures are your thing, hunt for murals in the backstreets of Tiong Bahru. Movie buff? The Star Wars Pop-Up Library at Changi Airport Terminal 3 is open till 10pm for a lightsaber-lit literary fix, plus trivia quizzes.Local tip from Oly: Thirsty after festival hopping? Swing by a kopitiam and ask for “kopi si kosong peng”—that’s a local iced coffee with evaporated milk and no sugar. Purists say it’s the best way to taste Singapore’s coffee culture.To wrap it up, don’t forget to check out tomorrow’s cultural treats like more Baybeats action and special exhibitions at the Singapore Art Museum. And heads up, anime fans—Anime Festival Asia is landing at Suntec later this month. I’ll have the lowdown on the next episode.Thanks for listening, please subscribe, and remember—this episode was brought to you by Quiet Please podcast networks.

Welcome, globe-trotters and mischief-makers, to Things to Do in Singapore! It’s Friday, October 31st, 2025—Halloween, no less—and this is your pal Oly Bennet, here to fly you straight into Singapore’s sizzling city scene, where the fun is high, the humidity’s real, and everyone’s prepping a costume wilder than their neighbor’s potted plants.Today’s vibe? Singapore is buzzing with Halloween energy—picture: blue skies, balmy breezes, and a city peppered with pumpkins and LED ghosties. Expect highs of 31°C, and don’t be surprised if you catch a Pikachu cosplaying as Dracula at your local MRT stop. The air is thick with anticipation, the kind you get before a Lionel Messi penalty—will he score, or will a Minion zombie snatch the ball?Now, let’s talk highlights! First up, at Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre, it’s The Tech Show 2025, with raging discounts, free vouchers, and a Campus Game Fest packed with live esports for every joystick warrior. Meanwhile, over at Tanjong Pagar Distripark, the Singapore Art Book Fair 2025 is in full swing, luring print lovers with a hypnotic blend of rare zines, bookmaking workshops, and enough creative energy to power a Formula 1 car around Marina Bay.Music fans—Baybeats 2025, Singapore’s largest free alternative music festival, is taking over the Esplanade with 60 live acts from everywhere, plus a Festival Village for merch and crafty workshops—think “create your own album cover with recycled stuff” (wonder if anyone’s used old homework). For families and those seeking adrenaline-fueled frights, Universal Studios’ Halloween Horror Nights isn’t just the talk of the town, it’s the official headquarters of screams, jump scares, and haunted houses themed after Stranger Things and legendary Asian spirits.The nightlife scene? Absolutely bonkers tonight! At Cé La Vi, London’s outrageous Cirque Le Soir lands with jaw-dropping circus acts and a view that’ll have you swooning harder than a lovesick otter. Down at Zouk, “Hansel & Gretel” Halloween madness is on—with international DJs, enchanted rooms, candy houses, and a cash prize costume contest—while Marquee is embracing cyberpunk chaos with “Halloweekend: GLITCH.” Costumes get seriously creative: if your outfit takes longer to design than your Airbnb itinerary, you’re in the spirit.Big news for culture vultures: the Peranakan Museum just opened “Peacock Power,” a technicolor celebration of all things dazzling and symbolic in art, running till August next year. Meanwhile, foodies, your wallets are in danger—new ramen joints are popping up faster than you can say “extra chili, please.” For public transit warriors, expect the usual reliable MRT service—just mind the rush hour goblins (and possibly literal goblins tonight).If you’re asking what absolutely not to miss, make time to roam Sentosa Cove’s Halloween Mystery with free entry, laser tag, and VR battles—top-tier fun for families and anyone who likes their scares with a side of tech wizardry. For something uniquely Singaporean, swing by a local estate like Woodgrove, where trick-or-treating is a legendary community affair—costumed kids, friendly neighbors, spookified houses, and maybe the realest Halloween spirit you’ll find all night. For a breather, the Supertree Grove in Gardens by the Bay is currently hosting the Sunflower Surprise—where you can snap flower selfies under a glowing futuristic forest.Fun fact to flex at parties: Singaporeans are so serious about Halloween that Woodgrove’s estate turns into candy central, with homeowners importing buckets of treats year after year—some locals claim it’s harder to run out of Kit Kats here on Halloween than to find air-conditioning at Orchard Road.Looking ahead, tomorrow kicks off even more madness with the ITMA Asia + CITME mega-tradeshow at Singapore EXPO and the last blast of spooky fun at Haw Par Villa’s legendary haunted trails—if your heart (and your vocal cords) survived tonight. Stay tuned with me, Oly Bennet, and discover more offbeat adventures with a Singaporean twist.Thanks for listening, please subscribe, and remember—this episode was brought to you by Quiet Please podcast networks.

Welcome, listeners, to Things to Do in Singapore with your globe-trotting, game-loving guide, Ollie Bennet! It’s Thursday, October 30th, 2025, and if you’re feeling the city’s pulse right now, let me sum up the vibe: steamy, spirited, and so packed with wild events and quirky fun, even a F1 pit crew would struggle to keep up!Today is classic Singapore — a splash of sunshine, bursts of tropical rain, and a whole lot of festivals, parties, and mind-bending art. As we hit the year’s spookiest weekend, Halloween energy is fizzing in every corner, and with the aircon cranked up and umbrellas at the ready, Singaporeans are ready to conquer the day’s adventures.Get this: the Singapore Biennale 2025 officially opens tomorrow, but the city’s already buzzing as artists take over shophouses, karaoke lounges, and even good old strata malls. The theme, Pure Intention, celebrates Singapore’s 60th birthday and invites everyone to rethink how art, ritual, and daily life dance together in our city. There’s a tidal wave of over 100 artworks scattered from Tanjong Pagar Distripark to Orchard Road and even the Rail Corridor, and most of it is free — no joke, just start wandering and you’ll bump into art weirder than a three-legged soccer match!But tonight, it’s all about the wild side! Ce La Vi’s rooftop is unleashing Cirque Le Soir with award-winning dancers, fire breathers, and circus antics, all overlooking Marina Bay’s glowing skyline. Flip the script with Yelloween — a glittering brunch bash fueled by Veuve Clicquot, tarot readings, and a parade of costumes. At HighHouse, the meme mavens and TikTok titans are lining up for the ‘Horrors of the Internet’ party, where the most unhinged outfit might just win you a cash prize and VIP cabana, because why not? SUSHISAMBA is throwing its REDRUM bash, turning the skyline into a fever dream with The Shining-inspired antics, DJs, and cocktails with names scarier than my high school report card — Death Becomes Her, anyone?For families, Sydney’s immersive exhibition “Walking Through a Songline” at NUS Arts and Social Sciences offers digital adventures into dreamtime storytelling, while at the Peranakan Museum, “Peacock Power” struts in with feathers and flair, exploring the bird’s legendary status across cultures. If you’re a tech head, Suntec’s Tech Show 2025 opens today with the latest smart home gadgets — come unlock the home of your dreams or, more importantly, exclusive show deals.Let’s drop some local news! The Jewel Changi Airport is swarming with sake fans as Sake Matsuri kicks off its Jewel Edition with over 400 sakes, a seafood market flown in from Japan, and a costume contest for the bravest drinkers. If you’re moving around, keep an eye out for the new limited-edition MRT trains rolling out just for SG60 — it’s not every day you can commute in style with murals from local artists lining the carriages.No Singapore visit is complete without the must-do classics: break a sweat at the Botanic Gardens, devour a chili crab feast at East Coast Lagoon, or sneak away to Gillman Barracks for an offbeat dose of gallery-hopping and hipster coffee. For something seasonal, catch the legendary Deadly Disco at Pasir Panjang Power Station, where DJs from The xx and Hot Chip serve up a Halloween rave that’ll keep your bones rattling till sunrise.Ready for the ultimate local tip? Grab your laksa at a regular-looking kopitiam instead of a fancy spot — you’ll save cash and probably meet an auntie who can tell you a ghost story or two. And if a random aunty hands you an umbrella, take it: a sudden Singapore shower can hit faster than an Olympic sprinter after extra kopi.Tomorrow, the Singapore Biennale delivers full citywide art madness, and Baybeats, the legendary free music festival at Esplanade, drops some indie sound bombs for all the music lovers out there. I’ll be back to guide you through more weird, wild, and downright epic adventures — so set a reminder and tune in for another day of offbeat discovery with Oly Bennet.Thanks for listening, please subscribe, and remember—this episode was brought to you by Quiet Please podcast networks.

Welcome, listeners, to Things to Do in Singapore! Ollie Bennet here, your globe-trotting sports nutlet and seeker of quirky adventure, broadcasting live on Thursday, October 23, 2025. The Lion City is bustling with its signature *rojak* of sunny skies and tropical warmth—there are just enough clouds to keep things interesting, so it’s a perfect day for exploring. The city pulses with anticipation: the Singapore International Cyber Week wraps up its grand hacking finale today, art spaces are humming, and you can almost sense the holiday season getting ready to pounce like a Merlion on a jet ski.Let's jump-kick into today's lineup! If you’re feeling your inner geek or Bond villain, the SPIRITCYBER Hackathon is in full swing all day at SICW E, Level 3. Picture Singapore’s top cyber-brainiacs racing to out-hack each other for glory, gadgets, and a safer Smart Nation, with challenges ranging from safeguarding self-driving cars to sniffing out hidden system flaws. It’s like a Fast & Furious chase scene, but everyone’s wearing lanyards.Culture vultures, rejoice! A visit to the National Gallery’s fresh exhibition, Not Mere Spectators, is a must. This interactive journey through Singapore’s multicultural roots uses dance, art, and multimedia to recount the wild days when the country’s youth became a harmonious, multi-ethnic force. Want to score a free meal with your mates? The exhibition’s upcoming #NoStrangerDanger wristband exchange in November lets you mingle and grab $60 vouchers for top chow if you come in a group. Even the art admits it’s a work in progress—kind of like my golf swing, but with more harmony and fewer lost balls, as reported by The Straits Times.Art lovers, double dip at the STPI Gallery’s Pacita Abad exhibit, Common Ground, for riotous color and cross-cultural creativity, perfectly timed as tropical storm Salome gently reminds us never to forget a good umbrella. And for families itching for serotonin, the Gallery Children's Biennale at the National Gallery is a creative blast-zone for little ones, filled with hands-on magic.Tonight, why not trade the boardroom for a Yellow Brick Road? The Wizard of Oz Candlelight Concert lands at The Arts House, promising live renditions of all the classics surrounded by flickering candles—seriously, it’s Toto-ally magical. And for the night owls, the Singapore Night Festival’s final weekend keeps the Bugis precinct aglow with mutant art projections and city-sized light installations, offering plenty of snack stalls for your late-night munchies, according to Little Day Out.In today’s city scoop, eCommerce Expo and Tech Week Singapore just wrapped up, buzzing about the latest gadgets and digital wizardry, while word on the street is that Suntec City gets taken over by Pikachu and friends next month—from a 6-meter inflatable mascot at Esplanade MRT to wild Pokemon dance parades, December will be an absolute pocket monster jamboree, says Asia News Network.Must-dos if you’re new in town: Level up your Insta-game along Haji Lane’s kaleidoscopic murals, snag a bowl of laksa near Bugis, or try your hand at spotting otters at the Kallang River. Adventurers in search of something a bit bonkers, check if there’s a pickleball pop-up at any local sports hub—Singaporeans are bananas for new sports. And here’s a local tip: never take the MRT during peak hour unless you fancy practicing your sardine impression. Instead, grab a kopi at a hawker center and watch the world whiz by.Hot tease for tomorrow: the ArtScience Museum’s SingaPop! exhibition explodes with 60 years of local pop culture, and holiday markets are about to deck the Bayfront with enough festive cheer to make even Santa sweat.Thanks for listening, please subscribe, and remember—this episode was brought to you by Quiet Please podcast networks.
