February, our favourite month of the year. Not only is it Valentine’s Day, but here at DiscoverSG, we were busy heading down to events that got us seeing a whole other side to sunny rainy Singapore! Here’s a look at the events we dropped in on this month.
1. Girls Night Out @ Empire Lounge
Here at DiscoverSG, we are strong advocates of the philosophy “work hard, play harder”, which is why we were ecstatic to hear that we had snagged invites to Empire Lounge.
Not only is Empire Lounge right smack in the middle of the CBD (it’s located at Singapore Land Tower, a minute’s walk from Raffles MRT) it also boasts breathtaking views of the Marina Bay area thanks to its location 48 floors above the CBD.
The DiscoverSG team headed down to Empire Lounge with our ambassadors, Shivon, Victoria and Grace. We were psyched to bond over drinks, enticing eats and the amazing view! The best part about Empire Lounge? The ‘cannot miss’ drink deals of course!
So if you’re keen to kick back after a long day at work, head on down to Empire Lounge!
Empire Lounge
Address: 50 Raffles Place, S048623
Opening Hours: Mon – Thu: 5pm – 1am; Fri – Sat: 5pm – 3am

2. Indoor Skydiving Experience @ iFly
Adrenaline junkies out there, we’re guessing skydiving is somewhere at the top of your bucket list. Unfortunately, its not something you would do at a whim, what with it being so expensive. Luckily for us, iFly Singapore offers a similar experience at a fraction of the price!
Located a stone’s throw away from Sentosa’s Beach Station, iFly Singapore is a state-of-the-art flight facility that is also the largest themed indoor skydiving simulator in Southeast Asia!
We were lucky enough to have a go at the First Timer Challenge Package ($119), which consists of 2 skydives of 45 seconds each. That is the same time it takes to free fall from 12,000 to 3,000 feet, as with an actual skydive!
Our ambassadors Vanessa and Nicholas had a blast having a go at the simulated skydiving experience! Definitely a one-of-a-kind experience, whether you’re an adrenaline junkie or someone seeking a new experience, indoor skydiving is definitely an experience worth trying!

3. Cook Up A Storm @ Palate Sensation
Let’s be honest, most of us aren’t exactly world class chefs. While not knowing how to cook may be okay for now (thanks Mum!), the truth is knowing how to cook a proper dish or two is a skill we ALL need.
We were keen to pick up a few (much needed) kitchen skills, so we headed to Palate Sensations Cooking School! Palate Sensations is a culinary school which offers cooking classes for both novice and seasoned cooks. Classes range from $125 to $1,400, depending on the duration of the class and your choice of cuisine.
Good news? The class is a hands-on experience, so you know you’ll definitely pick up a few skills to impress your family and friends. Palate Sensations can also play host to your hen parties, team building events and even birthday parties!
So head on down to Palate Sensations and indulge in your very own hand-crafted creations!

4. Exploring The Singapore Arts Biennale @ SAM
Here at DiscoverSG, we’re always on the lookout for events and happenings going on in Singapore. So when we heard about the Singapore Arts Biennale and the jaw dropping exhibits, we HAD TO GO.
The 4 month art exhibition entitled, An Atlas Of Mirrors featured never-seen-before contemporary artworks by more than 60 artists across Asia.
Our ambassadors Stephanie, Valerie and Eunice headed down to the Singapore Arts Museum to see the spell-binding art installations for themselves!

5. Beauty Bootcamp With La Roche-Posay
Having perfect complexion is no easy feat. Singapore’s unpredictable weather and the daily use of cosmetics can cause our skin to *gasp* break out. Most of us know the basics of skincare, but not the itty gritty details when it comes to caring for our skin. La Roche-Posay got us learning so much more about our skin!
Our ambassadors headed down to #123acnefree bootcamp to get all the deets on skincare and how to get our skin glowing and acne-free!

6. Beauty Boost @ Clifford Clinic
Let’s admit it, most of us go the extra mile when it comes to looking good for a special occasion. Manicures, a fresh hair cut and even a new outfit can be a huge confident booster. So, we were pretty excited when we got the chance to head down to Clifford Clinic for some laser treatments.
Our ambassadors, Diana, Shivon and Kimberley got a little skin booster at Clifford Clinic. With more than 15 years of experience in Aesthetic Medicine, the doctors at Clifford Clinic are at the top of their game, so you know your skin is in safe hands!
Located at Raffles Place, pop by during lunch to get that beauty booster for your skin. Offering treatments like acne scar treatment and non-surgical procedures like the laser eye lift, Clifford Clinics fixes all your beauty issues with little to no down-time!
