  Welcome, listeners, to Things to Do in Singapore! Ollie Bennet here, your globe-trotting sports nutlet and seeker of quirky adventure, broadcasting live on Thursday, October 23, 2025. The Lion City is bustling with its signature *rojak* of sunny skies and tropical warmth—there are just enough clouds to keep things interesting, so it’s a perfect day for exploring. The city pulses with anticipation: the Singapore International Cyber Week wraps up its grand hacking finale today, art spaces are humming, and you can almost sense the holiday season getting ready to pounce like a Merlion on a jet ski.Let's jump-kick into today's lineup! If you’re feeling your inner geek or Bond villain, the SPIRITCYBER Hackathon is in full swing all day at SICW E, Level 3. Picture Singapore’s top cyber-brainiacs racing to out-hack each other for glory, gadgets, and a safer Smart Nation, with challenges ranging from safeguarding self-driving cars to sniffing out hidden system flaws. It’s like a Fast & Furious chase scene, but everyone’s wearing lanyards.Culture vultures, rejoice! A visit to the National Gallery’s fresh exhibition, Not Mere Spectators, is a must. This interactive journey through Singapore’s multicultural roots uses dance, art, and multimedia to recount the wild days when the country’s youth became a harmonious, multi-ethnic force. Want to score a free meal with your mates? The exhibition’s upcoming #NoStrangerDanger wristband exchange in November lets you mingle and grab $60 vouchers for top chow if you come in a group. Even the art admits it’s a work in progress—kind of like my golf swing, but with more harmony and fewer lost balls, as reported by The Straits Times.Art lovers, double dip at the STPI Gallery’s Pacita Abad exhibit, Common Ground, for riotous color and cross-cultural creativity, perfectly timed as tropical storm Salome gently reminds us never to forget a good umbrella. And for families itching for serotonin, the Gallery Children's Biennale at the National Gallery is a creative blast-zone for little ones, filled with hands-on magic.Tonight, why not trade the boardroom for a Yellow Brick Road?

Adventurers in search of something a bit bonkers, check if there’s a pickleball pop-up at any local sports hub—Singaporeans are bananas for new sports.

Buckle up your seatbelts (and your ponchos), because you’re about to embark on another wild ride through the world’s quirkiest wonders—today from sparkling Singapore. It’s Sunday, October 19, 2025, and we’re diving into Things to Do in Singapore, where the city’s got more events and surprises than a football trick-shot video marathon!Right now, Singapore’s serving up that signature humid, tropical sizzle—think temps peaking near 31°C by midday with a tantalizing 80% cloud cover, making everything feel like you’re inside a high-end steam room. Don’t bother straightening your hair—it’s a hat-on, iced-tea-in-hand kinda day, and perfect weather to jump into the city’s action without melting under the sun.Let’s kick things off with today’s headline events. First, foodies and culture buffs, brace yourselves for the grand finale of the Vietnam Phở Festival at Our Tampines Hub. Think piping-hot bowls of Vietnam’s iconic noodle soup, chefs flipping noodles like circus performers, traditional Áo dài fashion, music, and bustling workshops—this isn’t just dinner, it’s a cultural touchdown celebrating Vietnam and Singapore’s upgraded diplomatic bonds. According to Tuoi Tre News, the festival’s packed, so arrive early or prepare to queue with a global crowd!Second, over at Suntec City, it’s the last day of the Sarawak Mega Fair, filling the Atrium Convention Centre with carnival games, dazzling crafts, and—you guessed it—enough Sarawak laksa to fuel an army of soccer players on a winning streak. This fair’s a freebie for entry and runs until 10pm, so bring the whole family and get your hands on some Borneo eats, art, and groove-worthy cultural performances.Arts lovers—you’re in luck!

Travel tip: Singapore’s train system is lightning fast today, with no major service hiccups reported. So, metro-hop like a local—tap in, tap out, and stay blissfully air-conditioned.Here are my must-dos for adventurous souls: Wander through Haji Lane’s technicolor alleyways, snap a “you-won’t-believe-this” selfie with the street art, and snag some vintage threads. Duck into Little India’s Tekka Centre for crispy dosai, or explore Tiong Bahru’s indie bookstores and aromatic bakeries (try the curry bun—you’ll thank me later). Don’t miss the Supertree Grove light show tonight at Gardens by the Bay for a sci-fi-meets-paradise experience.Fun fact for you: Singapore is so clean, chewing gum is technically outlawed, but did you know the city’s also host to the World Toilet Day festival every November? Only here can you learn the fine art of loo innovation while balancing a bao in the other hand.Coming up tomorrow, keep your eyes peeled for the kickoff of the Nine Emperor Gods Festival in Macpherson—a cacophony of drums, floats, and incense, parading through the heart of the city.
