5 Things to Do This Week: 8th – 14th June 2015

We’ve reached the halfway mark of 2015, and boy, has it been an eventful year so far – in more ways than one. As our hearts go out to the primary school kids in Sabah, the stateless Rohingya, and those who were on the fateful Yangtze River cruise, life still goes on in Singapore. To cheer you guys up this week, the Singapore Comedy Fringe is making its comeback; plus we’ll get to meet you guys at the debut of our very own City Nomads After Hours Series.
