Sentosa Is Now Home To Singapore’s FIRST Bungee Tower – 47 Meters Above Ground!
Great news for all adrenaline junkies out there, Sentosa is now home to Singapore’s first bungee tower! The bungee tower is part of AJ Hackett Sentosa. Set up by AJ Hackett International, this heart pounding recreational site is a 2,500 sq m adventure playground!
If you’re all about sky diving, bungee jumping…basically doing anything that would render me catatonic, you would have definitely heard of AJ Hackett International’s founder, A.J. Hackett. This New Zealander is seen as one of the pioneers of bungee jumping, so you know this bungee tower is the real deal!
Standing at 14 storeys high with two high jump decks and a 40m long sky bridge, this bungee tower is definitely a force to be reckoned with!
The best part about this bungee tower? It’s not just about bungee jumping, there are several other activities you can take on!
1. Bungee Jumping
(image source: AJ Hackett Sentosa)
If you’re a true thrill-seeker, Bungee Jumping will probably be the first activity you run to when you get to AJ Hackett Sentosa, and to be honest who can blame you?
Not for the faint of heart, participants jump off the high deck of the bungee tower, 47m above the ground! Best part about the bungee jump? There’s a 3.5m deep pool of water waiting for you at the bottom so you can let your head get dipped in the water!
2. Vertical Skywalk
(image source: AJ Hackett Sentosa)
If you want the thrill to last, try out the Vertical Skywalk! Supported by 2 ropes, participants get to walk down the main tower’s shaft (that’s 44m)!
Used by Navy Seals, The Army, Hollywood (of course) and now the average thrill-seeker! AJ Hackett Sentosa is the first AJ Hackett site to have this Vertical Skywalk!
Best part? You don’t have to do it alone! The Vertical Skywalk can take up to 3 people at any one time!
3. Skybridge
(image source: AJ Hackett Sentosa)
If thrill-seeking activities aren’t your style, don’t fret! There’s still the Skybridge! The tamest of the lot, participants can stroll out along the exposed skybridge, 47m above ground!
The only activity by AJ Hackett that doesn’t need a harnessing system. This activity is perfect for kids and those who prefer their feet firmly on the ground.
4. Giant Swings
(image source: AJ Hackett Sentosa)
Want to do something heart pounding but need a hand to hold? Giant Swings a great option if you and your friends want to enjoy the thrill together!
Set away from the bungee tower, the Giant Swings can accommodate up to 3 people and participants will get a bird’s eye view of Siloso beach 40m above ground!
Reaching speeds of over 100km/h, this activity may be the best out of the lot!
Unfortunately AJ Hackett Sentosa is not open to the public until March 2017! But hey, at least you have to something to set your sights on as a New Year’s resolution!

Because Parallel Parking Lots Suck, These Locals Are Turning Them Into Cool PopUps Tomorrow!
Looking for something unique and interesting to do tomorrow (16 Sept)? Look no further because tomorrow is Singapore’s annual PARK(ing) Day!
So What Is PARK(ing) Day?
(image source:
(image source: thegaltravels)
PARK(ing) Day was first introduced to our shores in 2013 by the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA). PARK(ing) Day Singapore 2013 brought students from SUTD and community members together to create ‘GREEN PARK(ing)’. A movement in MacPherson to increase road safety awareness.
In 2015, PARK(ing) Day Singapore saw 70 miniature parks popping up all over the island! A pop up barber and even ping pong tables were just some examples of the interesting parks being curated!
(image source: puresnow63)
This year, 78 local parking spots are turning into 52 miniature parks scattered all over the island! Look out for a mini carnival being erected along Sam Leong Road. Watch skits and even participate in some really retro carnival games! If you’re still really into Pokemon, check out the Pokemon-themed parks scattered between Kampong Glam and Bugis!
We love that URA and local Singaporeans are joining in on this global movement! It might only be a temporary event but it’s really exciting to see so many Singaporeans collaborating together. Transforming run of the mill parking lots into interesting spaces where people can gather, hang out and even participate in fun activities!
It might be too late to register for your own parking lot but you can still join in on the fun!

10 Proposal Spots In Singapore For That Special Someone You Want To BTO With
Proposals. They’re nerve wrecking enough without having to worry about the where, when and how. And with SO MANY proposals that are so amazing and out of this world (spoil market!) , we’re not going to blame you if you’re clueless on where to propose! We asked a few Singaporean ladies where’s a great place to be proposed to, and they gave us a simple yet oddly complicated answer:
“What kind of girl is she?”
Simple enough right? Find out what she enjoys doing and you’ve pretty settled on where you’re going to propose! If you’ve still haven’t found THE perfect place to propose. Don’t worry! We complied a list of the most romantic places in Singapore to propose!
If She Likes Nature..
Henderson Wave
[caption id="attachment_14249" align="alignnone" width="1024"]
used to be THE SPOT to go dating and hang out with friends way back in the mid 2000s. To get up to Henderson Wave used to be quite an adventure, you had to take public transport before taking quite a hike up to the structure.
At 36 meters above the ground, Henderson Waves bridge is the highest pedestrian bridge in Singapore. If your girlfriend is a fan of nature, bring her on the Southern Ridges Walk, a 5 kilometer hiking trail that takes you through Telok Blagah Hill Park and Mounth Faber.
Pack a picnic and sit down at the Henderson Waves right about sunset. You’ll be able to admire the setting sun against the backdrop of distant residential blocks, the perfect background for a romantic proposal.
Southern Ridges
Henderson Road, Southern Ridges, Bukit Merah, S159557

Little Guilin
[caption id="attachment_14252" align="alignnone" width="1024"]
Bukit Batok Park, Little Guilin got its name due to its similarity to that of Guilin in China. What attracts locals all over Singapore to come here is the granite rock sitting within the lake (an anomaly in any other parks in Singapore). There are two shelters right across from the lake giving you a breathtaking view of the tranquil lake.
Bring your girlfriend here right after an early dinner, the fantastic view combined with the setting sun is the perfect backdrop for a proposal she won’t be able to refuse!

Esplanade Rooftop
[caption id="attachment_14247" align="alignnone" width="1024"]
tuper_misc[/caption]
Another old favourite amongst teens back in the mid 2000s. Offering views of Marina Bay and the city skyline, this outdoor space is a quiet getaway from the hustle and bustle downstairs. The roof terrace is landscaped with manicured lawns, benches and small shrubs and trees, so it’s a change of landscape from the modern architecture of CBD Singapore.
There are so many great restaurants around this area, including rooftop restaurant The Esplanade Co Ltd
1 Esplanade Drive, Singapore 038981

Quayside Isle
[caption id="attachment_14254" align="alignnone" width="1600"]
,is that its quieter than Marina At Keppel Bay, yet gives the same air of luxury! It’s also home to the lavish National Gallery[/caption]
If you’re a true blue Singaporean you would know that the National Gallery occupies two of Singapore’s landmarks; the Old Supreme Court and City Hall. The history of this building dates back to the 1920s where it was first named the Municipal Building.
The Supreme Court and the adjacent City Hall underwent a thorough restoration from 2012 until its grand opening in 2015.
If you’ve stepped into the National Gallery you would know that most if not all of the original architecture still remains. Let’s be honest, the art work pales in comparison to the grandeur of this national monument.
What’s great about the National Gallery is that the architecture and overall feel is dependent on which section of the National Gallery you’re at. The Ng Teng Fong Roof Garden Gallery, the Former Supreme Court Foyer and Inside the Rotunda are amazing places to propose!
National Gallery
1 St Andrew’s Road Singapore, #01-01, S178957
Opening Hours: Sun – Thu; 10am – 7pm; Fri – Sat: 10am – 10pm

If you’re intending to splurge on the proposal and you’re seeking a place which is extra special, we’ve got you covered. Proposals are a once in a lifetime event, what better way to splurge on dinner then to have it amongst the stars!
Sky Dining
Seeking something extra special? Go for the Floral Cabin, specially designed and decorated with flowers, the Floral Cabin will set you back almost $500.
But really,for the breathtaking view you’re going to experience, isn’t it worth it?

Singapore Flyer
(image credit: Yummy Singapore)
Standing at 165m (about the height of a 42 storey building!), the Singapore Flyer is one the largest Observation Wheels in the world. The Flyer was launched in 2008 and has been a feature in the city skyline since.
If you’ve ever been in on it and thought the capsule would be a romantic place to propose, you’re in luck! You can have dinner here! , be prepared to drop $1,800! While the menu provided is similar to the one provided in Premium Sky Dining Flight, you do get a bottle of Premium Champagne and a bouquet of roses!
