Here at DiscoverSG, we’re all about everything local! Local events, local food you name it and we’re there! Our ambassadors attended some really exciting events this past month. Here are some of the highlights!

1. Kimberley’s Weekend Stay At Hotel Indigo

An interesting experience indeed. I would definitely stay here again.[/caption]

Hotel Indigo Singapore Katong is one of Singapore’s Peranakan-themed hotels. Filled with old-school fixtures and splashes of bright colours, this hotel would make any Peranakan feel right at home. Infusing Singapore culture and history into its hotel, Hotel Indigo has its walls decked out with drawings of old school Singapore.

What’s a better way to spend the weekend than to catchup on some R&R!? Kimberley Yong, one of our ambassadors, spent her weekend doing just that! She got a chance to laze by Hotel Indigo’s infinity pool which offers breathtaking views!

If you’re looking for a little R&R without breaking the bank or if you’re looking to spend a weekend time-travelling to Singapore’s yesteryear Hotel Indigo is the place to be!

WOW! Against The Current Is Coming To SCAPE THIS THURSDAY!

I’ll be the first to admit, I have never heard of Against the Current. Unfortunately for me, I tend to stick to the Top 40s and the tried and tested favourites (Queen). One thing about me, I am extremely sentimental almost to a fault. I love breaking out the old hits from my secondary school days. Blonde highlights, bright colours and over lined eyes were all the rage back then. The world fell in love with female singers that had amazing pipes. Paramore, Hey Monday and Avril Lavigne dominated the charts. Their songs were catchy, the lyrics meaningful and the melody interlaced rock and pop for a perfectly balanced hit.

1 Image(Image credit: is a pop rock band that formed in 2011 and is based in New York. The band consist of the perfect trio; Chrissy Costanza,Dan Gow and Will Ferri. Like a handful of entertainers, the band gained a sizeable following after posting their covers of popular songs.

To describe their sound would be a monumental task in itself. Against the Current’s current album In Our Bones seems to glide seamlessly between pop, punk and rock. What’s uniform throughout their album is the strong vocals by lead singer Chrissy Costanza whose pipes are the perfect accompaniment to each track; (think Cassadee Pope from Hey Monday with a fresh and light twist). Check out their Youtube channel and you’ll know what I mean!
