Did you know that Singapore is actually part of an archipelago? Singapore is made up of 63 islands with both natural and artificial islands. Well-known islands include Sisters island, Kusu island and St Johns island. Some of these islands are accessible by boat and will make for a nice relaxing day trip. However, pack your own food as most of them don’t have food places. An excuse to have a nice romantic picnic! There are also lagoons around some of the islands where you and your date can take a dip and chill. If your date wants to you to bring them overseas, bring them here!

Cycling Routes In S’pore Just Got Better – Round Island & Coastal!
Guess what? Cycling around Singapore will no longer be a dream. It will not be occurring anytime too soon but it is definitely happening in the near future. So start pumping on your leg days and prepare your calves for some action. With major cycling routes underway, we reckon you’re gonna be cycling…real soon!
Round Island Route – Cycle Around The Island!
The Round Island Route, a continuous 150km park connector that goes around the island is set to begin development work by the end of this year. Spanning three times the length of Singapore, most areas of this cycling routes will be 6 metres wide (the current park connectors are 4 metres), giving cyclist and joggers more space to exercise. It also reduces the risk of bike-related accidents.

Currently, the government plans to develop more inter-town cycling routes to connect commuters from their homes to the city. We should be able to see a Queenstown-City and Geylang-City routes soon. Towns such as Bishan, Hougang and Bukit Timah will also be connected to the existing cycling routes to the city.
We can’t wait for these cycling routes to be ready! For now, we just have to make do with existing cycling loops – in yellow, orange, pink, green, and blue. Do you know of other great cycling routes around Singapore? Do drop us a comment and let us know!

The Singaporean Bucket List – 10 Challenges You Die Die Must Complete
Boy does time fly. With half of the year now gone, it’s time to do possibly to a mini reflection, to ask if you’ve done anything worthy of a #throwback post for your future social media feeds. Oh the troubles of millennials, are we right?
Seriously, though, if you’re looking to create worthy memories you can churn into bar talk, here’s a bucket list of 10 challenges to complete before the year ends.
1. Go On A Solo Bike Trip
https://www.instagram.com/p/BFgfupiqljt/?taken-at=209931
You’ve heard about all the good things about Pulau Ubin. How about taking things up a notch and experiencing them through a solo bike tour? Rental bike shops are aplenty on the island and once you’re good to go, cycle along the dedicated cycling track into the wetlands and see for yourself the beauty of the island.
The off-road track (especially the uphill climb) might get a little tough for the inexperienced cyclists but trust us, the scenery is worth all the effort. A little tip from us: check out the 2. Re-Visit Haw Par Villa
https://www.instagram.com/p/BFeSY5Qyn2x/?taken-at=214263195 Whilst Tiger Balm is a great invention, Haw Par Villa, the home of the Aw brothers, isn’t exactly the most youngster-friendly of spots. Remember being scared witless by the countless sculptures situated all around the premise? Or the Ten Courts of Hell that had you promise your parents that you’ll never, ever lie to them again? Now that you’re all grown-up and brave, take the chance to re-visit the park and see what Haw Par Villa really is about. It may come as a surprise, but hidden behind the sculptures are some very meaningful moral values we can learn from. For the thrill-seekers, get some extra ‘hao pa’ (Chinese translation: scared ) experience by visiting the place during the Hungry Ghost Festival. We dare you. https://www.instagram.com/p/BG1O3nsv0PH/?taken-at=214263195&hl=en https://www.instagram.com/p/BG4cvAjjMC-/?taken-at=214263195&hl=en Haw Par Villa Measuring a good 9km, the Southern Ridges trail consists of four parks spanning across the western half of Singapore. Several parts of the trail are suspended high above the canopy, giving hikers a great view comprising of the contrast between Singapore’s modern buildings and the primaeval greenery around the trail. The most scenic part of the hike can be found in the section between Hort Park and Mount Faber. The Southern Ridges Walk is pretty accessible, where you can choose to enter from West Coast Park, Kent Ridge Park, Hort Park or Mount Faber Park. Do note that anything with wheels (bicycles, roller skates) are not allowed on most of the trail! https://www.instagram.com/p/BG6IT1dCI9a/?tagged=southernridgestrail&hl=en https://www.instagram.com/p/BEnWPSbgyWO/?tagged=southernridgestrail&hl=en https://www.instagram.com/p/BCAphewNqT4/?tagged=mollymalonesingapore&hl=en Do you know how many Storm Troopers appeared in Empire Strikes Back? Can you name all the members of Backstreet Boys? Whether you’re a walking Wikipedia or someone who loves quizzes, attend for a trivia night and have some fun with your friends! There are a few bars that host trivia night but our personal favourite will have to be Molly Malone’s Quiz Night, held on Mondays 7.30pm. They usually cover a variety of genres, ranging from movies to fashion. Got your A game on? Stand a chance to walk away with a bucket of St. Miguel/St. Miguel light. Not available on Mondays? Molly Malone’s Quiz Night https://www.instagram.com/p/ryxZG3se21/?taken-by=renechong&hl=en Think you’re the next Sherlock Holmes? Then it’s time to recruit your friends and take on an Escape Room challenge! The game objective is too simple: solve the puzzles and escape from a locked room within a given time. The difficulty levels and themes vary according to the type or rooms you pick. We’re pretty blessed to have a variety of escape games available here in Singapore-,
https://www.instagram.com/p/BG49pKrOInR/?tagged=silosobeach Sentosa is famous for its 3 beaches – Siloso, Palawan, and Tanjong. It’s hard to say which is better than the other so why not experience all three beaches on the same day? We suggest you start your beach hopping with the Siloso Beach, followed by lunch or a picnic at Palawan before relaxing at Tanjong. Do check out our Beach Guide before if you’re intending on planning a beach day out! https://www.instagram.com/p/_wOYwrBFPa/?tagged=pahlawanbeach https://www.instagram.com/p/BG3t57bCrZy/?taken-at=1371397 https://www.instagram.com/p/BGZNN0zluUi/?taken-at=912509 This is obviously not for the faint-hearted. You’ve probably heard of the Old Changi Hospital, but have you tried exploring the abandoned Fort Serapong, and Old Tanglin Camp? Whilst you’re at it, strap on a camera, film your adventure and make your very own ‘True Singapore Ghost Stories’. But remember, safety is of utmost importance and try to be respectful when visiting these places. https://www.instagram.com/p/_drI69KWAk/?tagged=fortserapong https://www.instagram.com/p/zUFYPnHi49/?tagged=neotiewestate https://www.instagram.com/p/BGotSjhsDU-/?taken-at=164558236 One of the biggest food trend in Singapore this 2016 has got to be having the salted egg yolk in every dish. There is the Xiao Long Bao, Croissants, molten Cheese Tarts, Lava Toast, Onion Rings, Ice cream, Prata and also the super addictive someone-stop-us-from-eating-more Salted Egg Yolk Chips. How many of these have you ticked off from your gourmet list? We’re not sure if Salted Egg Yolk is here to stay but be sure to try everything whilst the fad lasts. Do try to space out your dishes as y’know, high cholesterol. https://www.instagram.com/p/BD2hspWAXaz/?taken-by=explodingbelly https://www.instagram.com/p/BDlCYJcgXeL/?taken-by=explodingbelly https://www.instagram.com/p/BCrFvpeG2XR/?taken-by=asdsingapore Let’s be honest. When was the last time you did something without expecting any returns? (and we’re not talking about mandatory volunteer work that you had to do to earn CIP hours). So take this time to do something good this year and volunteer at one of our many volunteer organisations! If you’re more of an animal person, check out . All in for gender equality? Sign yourself up at Volunteer Guide for a thorough list of organisations where you can contribute to. https://www.instagram.com/p/BFgSJfRMe9O/?taken-by=renechong&hl=en Doesn’t matter if AJ Hackett Sentosa has yet to open but according to their For those who are not too fond of free falling, there is also the Vertical Skywalk (used by Navy Seals, The Army and Hollywood), Skybridge and Giant Swings (swing side by side reaching 120km/hr) to keep your adrenalin going.
