5 Things To Do In Singapore This Week: 29th October To 4th November 2018

Entering into November, one can’t help but scratch our heads and wonder where the hell the year went. If you’re feeling blue about this, there’s plenty going on this week to keep you occupied. Allow yourself a fantastical escape and be transported into the Dark Side of The Moon, or raise a glass to some of the best whiskies in the world. If you’re still in the mood for more spooks and candy, head over to Greenwood Fish Market & Bistro Anniversary Gala‘s Halloween themed celebration.

Dark Side of The Moon

Expect the unexpected in this immersive experience held in the recently opened, whimsical bookstore The Moon. Transforming the quaint and cosy space into an alternative reality plunged into darkness and inhabited by Moon Maidens, Dark Side of The Moon offers a uniquely mysterious encounter. Fill your heart with a sense of adventure as you’re transported through a series of interactions including a space console and a free-form musical experience by Subsonic Eye. Get lost in their lo-fi dream pop beats during their improv set, which plays for an hour every round with 15-minute intervals 8pm-1am.

Justine is a down-to-earth girl who believes there’s always room for dessert. You can find her tucked away in Singapore’s hidden nooks, either reading or writing – but definitely eating. Otherwise, she spends most of her time volunteering at Touch Young Arrows, teaching children from low-income families.
