If You’ve Always Wanted To Go To A Frat Party, There’s One Happening This Wednesday

If you’ve seen any American Pie movie or Bad Neighbours, you’d know that Hollywood has a rather dramatic portrayal of university life.

The insane frat parties, loud party music, kegs upon kegs of booze, and all the coolest kids in school.

The event, a collaboration between a group of university students and Club AVRY, will be happening this Wednesday, 11 April 2018.

Are you 18?

To enter, you will need to present your university matriculation card and ID. If you’re alumni, you may also use your old matriculation card. Entry is free for ladies and $10 for guys. It’s for the House Fund.

On top of that, everyone will get a free initiation drink on the house. Guests who wish to join Alpha Sigma will have to perform a special ritual and down a super drink before entry is granted. Classic frat house.

Each party will be powered by DJs from various universities. This week’s party will feature selected DJs from NUS.

During the party, look out for activities such as Beer Pong (of course), Beer Bong, and the Tequila boys who will be going around with water guns filled with vodka.

There’ll also be a Gummy Bear going around with a bag of alcoholic gummy bears.

Find and show him the number of Instastories you’ve taken at Alpha Sigma and he’ll give you a handful of vodka gummy bears corresponding to the number of Instastories you’ve taken.

And that’s not all. At the end of the night, Jello Shots will be given to all guests. Take a photo of yourself doing the Alpha sign, tag #Clout #AVRY #AlphaSigma, and upload it to Instagram.

[caption id="attachment_33923" align="aligncenter" width="720"] Image Credit: Liquor.com[/caption]

Present the Instagram post at the door and every 20 likes gets you 1 free Jello Shot redemption coupon, with a maximum of 10 Jello Shots redeemable per person.

Beers go for $10 a bottle at Alpha Sigma. But if you think you’re a fast drinker, challenge the Beer Chugging Wall Of Fame.

[caption id="attachment_33924" align="aligncenter" width="800"] Image Credit: Studomat[/caption]

Chug a beer as fast as you can and if you finish within the top 3 timings, you’ll get the bottle of beer for free!

If you’re looking to experience a fraternity house party for yourself, gather your friends and head down to Alpha Sigma at Club AVRY this Wednesday!

Let The Beat Guide Your Feet To The Finish Line At This Year’s Music Run

If you find running without music to be an arduous task, you’re not alone.

But why contend with an earpiece when you can have music blasting all along your running route?

Happening on 21 April 2018, The Music Run is back again!

[caption id="attachment_33380" align="aligncenter" width="2048"] Image Credit: The Music Run Facebook[/caption]

That’s not all, this will be the first year that The Music Run will include timed runs.

The Ultimate Running Event

There are 3 different categories in The Music Run that participants can choose from, with 2 timed courses and 1 for the casual runners.

The 5K Fun Run is best suited for those who prefer to run at their own pace and soak in the electric atmosphere of The Music Run.

If you’re looking for a bit of a challenge, go for the 5K or 10K courses. But with music blasting from speakers every metres to keep you going and the adrenaline pumping, you’ll finish the course before you know it!

So ditch those headphones and let the music fuel your beat!

Of course, that’s not all that The Music Run has to offer. After the run, head to the Main Stage where there will be a music festival for all participants to party through the night!

Last year’s Main Stage featured DJ Sam Withers and Nathan Hartono, rocking the crowd with their music.

Zouk’s New 3-Tiered Membership Gives Clubbers Free Entry To Their Clubs In The Region

If you’re a hardcore clubber, you might want to stop for a second and listen to this.

[caption id="attachment_33262" align="aligncenter" width="541"] GIF Credit: giphy.com[/caption]

Singapore’s longest running music and nightlife institution, Zouk Singapore, recently unveiled their all-new membership programme – a three-tiered loyalty programme specially catered to old-timers and regular customers.

Along with the launch of the membership programme, comes the Friends Of Zouk card which is an annual subscription programme for those who are looking to be invited into Zouk membership and be kept in the loop of Zouk’s latest and hottest events.

Did we mention that they also unveiled a swanky new Members Lounge by American Express?

[caption id="attachment_33263" align="aligncenter" width="1600"] Image Credit: Zouk Singapore[/caption] [caption id="attachment_33267" align="aligncenter" width="1600"] Image Credit: Zouk Singapore[/caption] [caption id="attachment_33268" align="aligncenter" width="1600"] Image Credit: Zouk Singapore[/caption] [caption id="attachment_33270" align="aligncenter" width="1600"] Image Credit: Zouk Singapore[/caption]

The new Members Lounge is situated on the upper balcony of the Zouk main room, where members get to beat drink queues, hang out, and dance while overlooking the dance floor below.

Friends Of Zouk

Don’t be mistaken. The Friends Of Zouk card is NOT the membership card. It grants you the opportunity to be invited into the Zouk membership programme, based on how often you use the card.

[caption id="attachment_33258" align="aligncenter" width="1415"] Image Credit: Zouk Singapore[/caption]

But don’t worry, the Friends Of Zouk card isn’t just for show.

It rewards the cardholder with exclusive quarterly promotions, access to third-party Zouk partners promotions, as well as priority pre-purchase for cover charge for EP!C Nights and other special events.

If you sign up for the Friends Of Zouk card from now till 31 March 2018, you’ll get 2 complimentary drinks from Zouk!

Do note that there is a $20 annual fee for the Friends Of Zouk card.

For Star cardholders, there is a $30 annual fee, and the card grants you complimentary entry to all Zouk outlets across the region, access to the Members Lounge, member and partner promotions, and priority pre-purchase cover charge for special nights.

Sun Member Privileges

If you’ve accrued a minimum spending of $24,000 within a 12-month period on your Star card, you will be promoted to a Sun member.

Top spending members in a year will get to qualify for the much-coveted Kaleidoscope card.

5 Ways To Enjoy Your Chicken Wing Without Getting Your Fingers Dirty

Chicken wings are the world’s favourite finger food. You can’t go wrong with chicken wings. Always a party favourite, they come in an ever-growing variety of flavours.

If you’re craving for some chicken wings, Deliveroo has got your back with Wing It Wednesday. Every Wednesday in January, chicken wings go for 50% off!

Discounts aside, there is one tiny downside to eating chicken wings though: You’re bound to get your fingers dirty.

Because we hate dealing with greasy fingers, we’ve come up with 5 ways to enjoy your wings without getting your fingers dirty.

1. Get Someone To Feed You

If you’re looking to keep your fingers clean while decimating your chicken wing, get someone to feed it to you. Like royalty.

[caption id="attachment_32723" align="aligncenter" width="480"] GIF Credit: DiscoverSG[/caption]

These Garang Chilli Wings ($7.50, U.P $14.99) from Garang Grill are a spicy affair.

For a non-spicy alternative, go for the mild and sweet Honey Butter Wings ($7.50, U.P $14.99). Sticky sweet caramelized honey butter coated wings sound really good right now and you won’t even get your fingers dirty!

2. Wear Disposable Plastic Gloves

If you’re unable to find someone to feed you chicken wings at a moment’s notice, then maybe try something a little more practical.

Wear disposable plastic gloves. Like the ones that they hand out to people at Long Beach Seafood Restaurant and Captain K.

[caption id="attachment_32724" align="aligncenter" width="480"] GIF Credit: DiscoverSG[/caption]

When armed with a plastic glove, the world becomes your plate. Take on Sarpino’s Chicken Wings ($4.45, U.P $8.90), armed with your trusty plastic glove.

Choose from BBQ, Sweet Chilli, or Cayenne Rub flavours. No sauce is going to stain your fingers. Not today.

3. Use A Fork And Knife

To keep your fingers looking and feeling pristine, how about reaching for the trusty fork and knife?

[caption id="attachment_32725" align="aligncenter" width="480"] GIF Credit: DiscoverSG[/caption]

Perfect for digging into the Ganjang (Soya) Wings ($6.42, U.P $12.84), the bestseller at Chicken Up. Fresh deep fried chicken wings slathered with a special soya sauce blend.

But if you’re looking to kick things up a notch, go for the Yangnyum Wings ($6.42, U.P $12.84) or the Spicy Yangnyum Wings ($6.42, U.P $12.84). The chicken wings are coated in a sweet chilli sauce for a spicy kick.

Sounds like a pain to clean up afterwards – we’ll stick to our forks and knives.

4. Have Your Butler Remove The Bones For You

For the richer folks, have your butler remove the bones for you.

[caption id="attachment_32726" align="aligncenter" width="480"] GIF Credit: DiscoverSG[/caption]

It’s stress-free, and you don’t have to do any work. Just eat. Since you already have someone removing the bones for you, might as well keep eating.

Get the 12 Piece Wing Set ($8.23, U.P $16.45) from Wing Zone and the second set comes at 50% off! We recommend going for their signature Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings – zesty and peppery with hints of garlic and parmesan flavours.

So many chicken wings, and none of the work. Most importantly, clean fingers!

5. Eat Your Chicken Wing Next To Running Water

You must be truly desperate to come to this point.

If you’re deathly afraid of greasy fingers but still love your chicken wings, then we suggest eating your chicken wing next to running water.

Like so.

[caption id="attachment_32727" align="aligncenter" width="480"] GIF Credit: DiscoverSG[/caption]

Since you’re already washing your hands while eating, how about some lemongrass from The Orange Lantern’s Fried Chicken Wings ($4.55, U.P $9.10) that are marinated with lemongrass before being deep-fried to perfection.

It might sound ludicrous and a complete waste of water, but if you’re that afraid of oil then this is one ridiculous way to (stressfully) enjoy your wing.

Let’s admit that at the end of the day, the best way to enjoy a chicken wing is to get your hands greasy, to extract every shiok bit of chicken from the bones.

[caption id="attachment_32728" align="aligncenter" width="480"] GIF Credit: DiscoverSG[/caption]

Starting the year with weekly Chicken wing Nights sounds like a great family and friends bonding session. So don’t miss out on Deliveroo’s Wing It Wednesday promotion this January!

8 Fun NYE Plans That Are Better Than Counting Down With Strangers At Marina Bay

New Year’s Eve is right around the corner, and from the beach to the clubs, there are plenty of countdown parties happening here on our little red dot.

If dancing into the new year and kissing strangers at the stroke of midnight isn’t quite what you had in mind for NYE, there are many other ways you can close off the year that don’t involve insane crowds and bad cell service – yep, we’ve all been there.

If you’re looking for a more low-key affair that’s still loads of fun, here are 9 ideas you can consider.

1. Mahjong The Night Away

Gather your mahjong kakis, load up on sustenance (i.e. coffee, chips, cup noodles) and mahjong into the final moments of 2017!

[caption id="attachment_32508" align="aligncenter" width="877"] Image Credit: Our Pastimes[/caption]

Whether you play with no money or choose to raise the stakes, you’re bound to have a good time. Who knows, maybe you’ll even make yourself your first bit of cash for 2018.

2. Have A Games Night

If mahjong isn’t your cup of tea, why not have a Games Night?

[caption id="attachment_32521" align="alignnone" width="1000"] Image Credit: What Do You Meme[/caption]

Get everyone to bring their favourite card and board games (Monopoly Deal, Limpeh Says, What Do You Meme), and for even more variety, there are tons of apps that are just a (free) download away. Here are some of our favourites: Guess The Word SG, Charades!, Psych!, and Undercover.

The rules are simple, and there is plenty of fun to go around. Just don’t get too competitive, because you don’t want to start the new year with a few less friends!

3. Steamboat Party

Steamboat is never a bad idea.

[caption id="attachment_32509" align="alignnone" width="3719"] Image Credit: Hai Di Lao’s soup bases, which you’ll be able to find at these places.

If you have the time, go shopping for the ingredients together. Load up your trolleys, over-buy, and go all out! And make sure to grab a ton of alcohol on your way out. The idea is that no one makes it to midnight without feeling nicely buzzed.

4. Go Night Cycling

If lazing around and stuffing your face with chips and soda isn’t your idea of a good time, here’s a more active NYE proposition – night cycling.

[caption id="attachment_32510" align="aligncenter" width="700"] Image Credit: Night Cycling Safety[/caption]

Plan a route, maybe even to Marina Bay Sands, if you and your party want to catch the fireworks. The best part is, now that there are so many bike-sharing providers in Singapore, you can just pick up a bike, and leave it wherever you end your journey!

A word of caution though: You may begin 2018 with a sore bum. But it’ll be worth it, we promise.

5. Sing K Until You Lose Your Voice

Instead of losing your voice scream-singing at a party, why not do it in the comfort of a KTV, among your most (and least) talented friends?

[caption id="attachment_32511" align="aligncenter" width="900"] Image Credit: Image Credit: Facebook

7. Go For A Super-Singaporean Countdown

2018 Lai Liao!

To reserve a table, call 6337 9416 or email [email protected].

8. Prawn To Your Heart’s Content

This is a bit of a random one, but hear us out.

[caption id="attachment_32514" align="alignnone" width="1024"] Image Credit: pick a venue that’s near the fireworks, all the better!

9. End The Year On A Literal High

To end the year on a literal high, head down to Universal Studios Singapore.

[caption id="attachment_32515" align="alignnone" width="960"] Image Credit: Website

Whether you’re someone who likes to go out to party, or someone who prefers to chill at home with your favourite people, here are some fun ideas that will definitely make for an amazing New Year’s Eve!

Incredibly easy to put together and organize, we wish you the very best time, and a very Happy New Year in advance!

Not Your Typical Cruise Themes

[caption id="attachment_31485" align="alignnone" width="3777"] Source: Wikimedia[/caption]

The allure of a cruise is a popular choice for many travelers when planning a vacation. But not all cruises are alike. Some cruise lines revolve around an entire theme, some host theme nights and others cater to all types of people. Let’s explore.

Have you ever thought of going on a cruise that holds an international poker championship onboard? Well, it’s available onboard the luxury cruise liner Aegean Paradise. If ultimate leisure and gaming are your things, improve your performance and register for this year’s event, which is scheduled for December 15-17.

However, Aegean Paradise is just one of many examples of unique cruise experiences available. Theme cruises are another great way to combine your interests with a relaxing vacation, and can be a great option for first-time cruisers. Specifically, there are typically three types of theme cruises: The full-ship theme cruise, partial-ship theme cruise and theme-inspired cruise.

Full-Ship Theme Cruise – When selecting this option, be sure to select your theme wisely because it will set the tone for your entire vacation. On these cruises, everyone onboard can be a part of the themed activities and entertainment, which can include concerts, themed activities, competitions and the possibility to mingle with performers and guest celebrities. A popular choice is the “Top Chef at Sea” Cruise on the Regent Seven Seas. This cruise tends to appeal to a wider audience than some of the other ones out there.

Partial-Ship Theme Cruise – This is a great option that doesn’t overwhelm the entire ship. On these cruises, they have special interest groups that can purchase blocks of cabins, marketing to people who may be interested in an activity. These interests can range from knitting to scrapbooking to fitness to music.

[caption id="" align="alignnone" width="5184"] Source: Pexels[/caption]

Theme-Inspired Cruise – A lot of cruise lines advertise theme sailings, but in reality, these tend to be a regular offering with some extra special interest activities, guest speakers or entertainment options. On these sailings, you may be able to enjoy a regionally-inspired wine tasting, guest musical performances, fitness and wellness specialists, educational lecturers and so much more. In 2017, the Seabourn Cruise Line added a “Spa and Wellness with Dr. Andrew Weil”, which is meant to educate its passengers through classes and gatherings.

[caption id="" align="alignnone" width="1280"] Source: Wikimedia[/caption]

Take a look at some of these popular cruise themes to think about as an option for your next cruise, or your first one for that matter:

  • Music Cruises such as the New Kids on the Block theme, Beatles tribute theme, Country Cruising theme and so much more.
  • Food and Drink Cruises such as Flavors of Europe, California Beer Festival at Sea and so much more. Many of these feature craft bears, brewing demos and food pairings to die for.
  • Celebrity Cruises such as the TMC Classic cruise, National Review cruise and the Baseball Greats Cruise.
  • Health and Wellness Cruises such as Yoga, Great Alaskan Marathon, Sober and Cruise for Diabetes.
  • Hobby Cruises such as Craft, Ballroom Dancing, Alaskan Photography Adventures and so much more.

As you can see, the options are endless. No matter the theme or cruise line you desire, similar options are likely available. So, do your research and find a cruise line and theme that is right for you.

Universal Studios’ Halloween Horror Nights is back for its seventh edition, and this year’s scare-fest is themed after the seven dead-lier sins: cruelty, deception, malice, manipulation, narcissism, perversion and obsession.

Come face to face with your worst nightmares when you enter the 5 haunted houses, which include a mall filled with ghosts (‘Death Mall’), an eerie hut haunted by the Midnight Man (‘Hex’), and see what evils lurk within the minds of the malevolent (‘Inside The Mind’).

[caption id="attachment_30575" align="alignnone" width="2000"] Image Credit: Resorts World Sentosa[/caption]

Wander through 2 scare zones, one of which is a sanctuary for the 7 sins (‘Pilgrimage of Sin’), and another of which is a macabre twist on your favourite holidays (‘Happy Horror Days‘).

Another highlight at Halloween Horror Nights this year is also a HHN first – Zombie laser tag. For the first time in Halloween Horror Nights history, you get the chance to defend yourself against the horrors you will meet.

For 2 weekends from 27 October – 5 November, the KidZania compound will take on a brand new look. The airport, restaurants, petrol kiosk and more will transform into a landscape including a candy forest, volcanoes, and the depths of the sea!

Immerse yourself in the beautifully designed rooms that will transport you and your family to a whole other dimension. Watch the professional actors as they take you through an immersive storytelling experience!

What’s Halloween without a bit of candy? Collect trick or treat goodie bags on the trees of Vampi’s candy forest and be sure to steer clear of Vampi the vampire if you plan on holding on to your loot!

With carnival games, spooky snack-bites, magic shows and mysterious bubble shows taking place through the night, the kids are in for a night of fun at this Halloween fiesta!

Entry is $45 each for adult and child, and is inclusive of a limited edition Trick or Treat popcorn candy bucket, a Halloween Family Night Out Cape and The Secret Treasure Map of Magic Mummy (worth $45)!
