Long Week At Work? Rest And Recharge At These 5 Japanese Onsens In S’pore Instead
Mineral-rich onsens, magma stone beds, quaint tatami rooms and a Japanese Zen garden.
Ahhh…you can’t help but daydream about a relaxed getaway especially now that the end of year is approaching. Sure, a short getaway to a nearby country sounds great but sometimes time and money are tight.
But if you’re able to block off a couple of hours in your day, check into these Japanese spas and onsens instead to zen out and pamper yourself!
Ditch the air tickets – these Japanese spas will surely teleport you to Kyoto ryokans and Hakone onsens – minus the passport!
1. Ikeda Spa
A five-star Japanese spa, Ikeda offers a ryokan (traditional Japanese spa) and a variety of massages to have your stress and worries melted away. Founded in 2009, Ikeda Spa offers a quaint sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle of town, nestled among lush greenery in Bukit Timah.
[caption id="attachment_37895" align="aligncenter" width="1800"] Image Credit: Ikeda Spa Facebook[/caption]Ikeda Spa is home to Singapore’s first hinoki onsen – that is, an onsen made from Japan’s most prized cypress wood once reserved strictly for royalty, and used for building palaces, temples and shrines. This precious wood releases mineral oils with soothing scents and anti-bacterial properties to calm and uplift.
They offer single baths (from $80+ for 30 minutes) for those who prefer a bit more privacy. You can also choose from 5 different bath salt choices for different aromatherapy and other health benefits for your needs.

Spend quality time at their private couple onsen bath with your special one, relax and indulge in a 30 minutes therapeutic bath.

Got Balls? Fight The IKEA Crowd And Grab A Plate Of Meatballs For Just $0.75 This Weekend
There’s an unofficial rule in life that if you go to IKEA, you buy their meatballs.
They might not be of the highest quality (there are other places for that), but at the affordable price of $6 for a plate of 8, they are hands-down the easiest to satisfy your meatball cravings.
And if you have been craving the nostalgia-inducing dish lately, this weekend might be the time to scratch that itch, because the Swedish furniture company will be selling their meatballs for less than a dollar.
Wait, How Much?!
[caption id="attachment_37684" align="alignnone" width="1308"] Image Credit: IKEA Singapore[/caption]Yup, you heard us right — in celebration of their 75th anniversary, IKEA will be selling a plate of 8 meatballs for 75 cents on the 6th and 7th of October.
If the calculator on our phones are working correctly, that’s an unbelievable 9(.375) cents per meatball, which means that your meal will probably be cheaper than the transport costs to get there.
There are a few things to take note of though: this promotion will only be happening at IKEA Tampines (sorry, north/south/west siders), and you have to be IKEA FAMILY member to be eligible as well.
Only 750 plates will be sold at this price (limited to one plate per member, thankfully), and judging by how Kiasu Singaporeans can be you’ll most likely have to wake up reaaal early to take advantage of this offer.
More Than Just Meatballs
If you can’t be bothered with going up against what is sure to be a chaotic crowd, IKEA is having pretty massive discounts on their furniture as well (because they’re…y’know, a furniture company).
To save you a trip to the their website, Here’s a list what’s on offer:

Take A Walk In The Visually Impaired’s Shoes At Dialogue In The Dark – Free Admission On Oct 6
There’s a lot of things that we take for granted in life, and our eyesight might be the biggest offender in that respect.
Think about it — we stare at a computer the entire day at school/work, squint at the tiny text on our phones on the commute back home, and then kick back by watching YouTube on yet another screen with little regard to what it’s doing to our eyes in the long run.
What we don’t realise (or try not to think about, at least) is that some people don’t have access to this seemingly basic privilege, and Dialogue In The Dark is giving you the chance to take a literal walk in their shoes.
See Less, Learn More
For the uninitiated, Dialogue In The Dark is a social initiative that allows you to experience the life of a visually impaired person.
[caption id="attachment_37518" align="alignnone" width="2048"] Image Credit – Dialogue In The Dark – Singapore[/caption]Led by guides who are visually impaired themselves, you’ll be taken through specially designed rooms that are shrouded in darkness, and learn how they perform everyday tasks walking in the park and visiting a cafe.
It’s a sobering experience, to say the least, and one that is sure to make you appreciate life a little more.
Now, we’re fully aware that Dialogue In The Dark isn’t exactly a new concept (the Singapore branch has been opened since 2009), but we’re writing this because now could the best time to try it.
[caption id="attachment_37519" align="alignnone" width="920"] Image Credit: Tedx Pickering Street[/caption]Tickets for this experience usually cost $15 and $25 for students and adults respectively, but as part of the Tedx Pickering Street Adventures series of events, you can attend a session on the 6th of October completely free (you’ll need to pay $2 deposit, but it’ll be refunded at the door).
We’re pretty sure that there’s limited slots and they’ll be snatched up quick on account of being…y’know, free, so head over to Peatix now to secure a place.
TedxPickering Street Adventures: Dialogue In The Dark
Venue: Ngee Ann Polytechnic — 535 Clementi Road, Block 5, #01-03
Date: 6 Oct 2018

2019 is shaping up to be a good year for theatre lovers in Singapore.
Not only will Matilda the Musical make its Asian debut in Singapore next February, but it’s recently been announced that The Phantom Of The Opera will be making a return to our shores next year as well.
[caption id="attachment_37506" align="alignnone" width="2048"] Image Credit: The Phantom Of The Opera[/caption]Broadway’s longest running show was last staged in Singapore five years ago in 2013, and is now set to play at the Sands Theatre at Marina Bay Sands from the 24th of April to the 12th of May.
If you aren’t familiar with what The Phantom Of The Opera is all about, here’s what wikipedia has to say:
“…its central plot revolves around a beautiful soprano, Christine Daaé, who becomes the obsession of a mysterious, disfigured musical genius living in the subterranean labyrinth beneath the Paris Opera House.”
Eh, words don’t really do justice to this epic tale of love and tragedy, so here’s a video of how the production looked like when it last came to Singapore:
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7klmV1jzvI]Ah, better.
Tickets are available for pre-sale right now at sistic.com, with prices ranging from $75 to $780 for a VIP box for four (for that price, the phantom better fall in love with us).
