Can you believe it’s already April? While entertainment venues are still closed in light of the Covid-19 situation and people are encouraged to stay indoors and practise social distancing, it has pushed us to find creative ways to spend the weekend without leaving our homes. This time, we’ve got masterclasses, live music performances and virtual shopping events. We’ve even thrown in offline events as well, for those itching to get out! Behold, all the great things to do this weekend in Singapore.
Into the wild
Dreaming of exploring the great outdoors? Well, what if we told you that you can marvel at animals in the wild from the comfort of your couch? We’re talking about cute penguins and pandas, majestic elephants and polar bears and even mischievous otters right here in Singapore! Take your pick from our list and go wild.
Learn the art of insta poetry
Canadian poet Rupi Kaur needs no introduction, with her bite-sized poetry that’s been making waves on social media. Now, you can learn a thing or two about mastering this written craft as she holds live writing workshops on her Instagram page. Don’t worry if you’ve missed the livestream, as she will add them to her IGTV subsequently. FYI: The first episode is already out!
Keep calm and game on!
No, we’re not talking about fancy schmancy video consoles that would probably burn a hole in your wallet. Enter fun and easy mobile games that will keep you occupied for hours. An amateur when it comes to the gaming world? We explored the rabbit hole and unearthed these mobile game apps that are not only addictive but also come with amazing graphics!
Please don’t stop the music
With the closing of clubs and postponing of concerts, we’re in dire need of live music entertainment. Lucky for us, the pop stars of today are serving up top-notch performances from the comfort of their homes or home studios (we’re looking at you, Mariah Carey). From Dua Lipa’s husky vocals to Chris Martin’s croons and the sexy duet by Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello, we’re so here for it.
Got juice?
Weekends are for restoration, and what better way to do that than blending your own healthy smoothies? We’ve compiled a list of easy smoothie recipes that only require a handful of fruits and veggies, plus a good blender.
Upgrade yourself
Looking for things to do this weekend in Singapore? Spend your days enrolling for free online courses that were once blocked by paywalls. Sharpen your SEO skills, brush up on your leadership abilities and even figure out the science of well-being (this one is from an Ivy League university).
Boutiques Fair goes online
Shopaholics, rejoice! The hottest (and probably the biggest) boutique fair in Singapore will be going online. Connect directly to your favourite local brands, whether it’s fashion, jewellery, home decor, food and drinks, charities, social enterprises or beauty. Yes, we all love walking through the massive F1 Pit Building and discovering new gems but the extensive online directory is going to keep us occupied for hours!
Weekend bootcamp
Thanks to Evolve MMA, all of us can break a sweat by participating in its free livestream classes, which are conducted by world champion martial arts instructors. From wrestling and boxing to Muay Thai and Brazilian jiu-jitsu, it’s time to get physical. For the full schedule, click here.
