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.

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 Ocampo

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.
