  • Explore Singapore's Electric Saturday - Rugby, Art, and Delicious Laksa
    2026/01/31
    Hey there, listeners! Welcome to Things to Do in Singapore, and what a fantastic Saturday we've got lined up for you! It's the perfect time to explore this vibrant island city, and let me tell you, the energy is absolutely electric right now.

    First things first, the weather's treating us pretty nicely today. We're looking at partly cloudy skies with temperatures hovering around 29 to 30 degrees Celsius, so bring some sunscreen and stay hydrated, my friends! There's a chance of some light rain later, but nothing that'll stop us from having an absolute blast.

    Now, let's dive into the incredible events happening today. If you're a rugby fanatic like me, the HSBC SVNS Singapore is going down at the National Stadium, and this is absolutely legendary! Starting at 10:20 AM, you've got some of the world's best sevens teams battling it out. Admission starts from 99 dollars for adults, and trust me, the energy is unreal. Tomorrow wraps up at noon, so if you can't make it today, you've still got time!

    For the culture vultures out there, Light to Night at the National Gallery Singapore continues through today, showcasing this year's theme "The Power in Us." We're talking stunning light projections on the gallery's facade, interactive art installations, and live performances from local artists. According to the National Gallery Singapore, this is the festival's milestone tenth edition, and it's absolutely transformative.

    If you want something a bit more avant-garde, the Public Garden 2026 event is happening at the Sands Expo, running from 1 PM to 7 PM. It's a festive shopping experience that's perfect for picking up some unique finds while soaking in that Lunar New Year spirit.

    And here's a local tip that'll make you feel like a true Singaporean: while everyone's rushing around, grab some incredibly fresh laksa from any of the hawker centers scattered throughout the city. These aren't fancy restaurants, but they're absolutely legendary, and you'll eat like a king for just a few dollars. The locals swear by them, and honestly, it's one of the best-kept secrets for experiencing authentic Singapore culture.

    Later tonight, if you're feeling energetic and want to dance until dawn, Holy Priest is bringing some absolutely mad hard techno and rawstyle energy to Marquee Singapore starting at 10 PM. This is Asia's only stop on his tour, so it's pretty special!

    Here's what I'm telling you to prioritize today: catch some rugby at the National Stadium if you can, soak in the art and light displays at the National Gallery, then wind down with some incredible local food. It's the perfect trifecta of sports, culture, and culinary adventure.

    Tomorrow's shaping up to be just as brilliant, with more Light to Night festivities and a lululemon community run happening at 7:15 AM if you're an early riser. Stay tuned for more Singapore adventures!
