Singapore’s First Ever QR Code Bazaar
There’s just one thing—at this market, the only currency accepted is digital currency. That is, QR codes and payments made via the DBS PayLah! app!
Essentially, DBS PayLah! is a mobile app that functions as your personal digital wallet. Like a regular wallet, you can send and receive money instantly, but minus the inconvenience of not having enough cash, not having exact change, etc.

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.
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!
