[Compiled] Here Are ALL The Highlights From This Year’s Singapore Night Festival!
If you weren’t in the vicinity of Bras Basah and Bugis last weekend, you (almost) missed out on one of the most spectacular night festivals in 2016! This year’s Singapore Night Festival went off with a bang, and the streets of Bras Basah and Bugis came to life with beautiful art installations, light projections, roving performers and plays.
This year’s theme was fittingly named “Innovations and Inventions”, the perfect entanglement of 19th century industrialisation interwoven with design. We created a list of highlights from this year’s Singapore Night Festival which was definitely worth the crowd!

By far one of the busiest zones, Armenian street was chock full of roving street performers, live music and art installations. Couples danced the night away in the pedestrian only streets swaying along to the music presented by the Substation.

Singapore’s Late Night Eats Near MBS, Yishun And More For Pokemon Go Addicts!
Pokemon Go has taken Singapore by storm for weeks now, with throngs of Singaporeans gathering at parks, malls and even the streets of Orchard Road and Marine Bay Sands till the wee hours.
Because of this, we’ve decided to create a list of late night eats that are conveniently placed near Pokemon hotspots and places where you can catch the rarest Pokemon.
Don’t expect any fast food joints on this list, it’s all local food that is bound to fuel you up after a long night of Pokemon catching!
1. Night Safari
If you have decided to go to the Night Safari to enjoy both the real and virtual animals, you would probably have stayed long past the closing hours of the Night Safari eateries.
We found the closest eatery to this national attraction, and the good news is they’re open way past the Night Safari. The bad news? They’re a pretty long walk from the Night Safari.

What’s an acai exactly? Simply put, it’s a berry…with superpowers.
No, really!
Acai berries are known to provide a variety of

Smoothie bowls are a great source of nutrition, they’re filling and it helps that they’re very Instagram-worthy.While smoothie bowls are available on our sunny island, they’re pretty pricey and they’re far and few between. Which is probably why the smoothie bowl craze never took off here (that and we Singaporeans LOVE our local eats!). Let’s hope that someone comes up with a cheaper alternative that is right outside our doorstep soon!

The Joseph Schooling Effect: 6 Things That Will Never Be The Same
Unless you’ve been living under a really big rock, you know who Joseph Schooling is and what he did this weekend. To commemorate his big win, here are 6 new things that have caught ablaze since Schooling nabbed a Gold at the Rio Games.
1. ‘Schooled’

These 4 digits, will forever be etched in Singapore’s sporting history. Schooling not only nabbed the gold medal in the 100 meter butterfly in Rio (against Michael Phelps) with his timing of 50.39 seconds, he’s also the only Southeast Asian male swimmer to cinch a gold medal at the Olympics. Which is probably why, this set of numbers was
Sure Tinder has been around awhile now, but since Schooling got us our first Olympic gold, we’re seeing a new found interest in the dating app.
(If you haven’t read it, a college student basically matched up with Joseph Schooling on Tinder in April and unfortunately for her, stopped replying.)
And really who can blame us? You never which future Olympian/singer/actor/ you could be matched up with.
5. Dreams Do Come True

You’ve seen the meme, it’s pretty much everywhere right now. While we can definitely enjoy, pre-Rio Joseph Schooling, the underlying message radiates with us all, work hard and dream big. You never know, your childhood idol could be giving you

If you enjoy a quiet morning swim on the weekends, don’t bother. Swimming pools public and private are going to be choke-full of kids and their extra kan chiong parents cheering them on. Don’t be surprised if you see a jump in the number of swimming classes available and ads with the tagline “Be the Next Joseph Schooling”.
