Still wondering where to go this Children’s day? Join Host Jimmy Koh and Evalee Lin as they explore the new installment of Children’s Biennale at the National Gallery Singapore!

We remembered the times when we were still (dirt) poor students: Going to the KTV with friends is considered a  luxury outing because of the exorbitant price.

Fast forward 10 years, with the entrance of budget karaoke chains like Teo Heng and Ten Dollar Club KTV, it’s more affordable for most of us.

Now, it looks like  the KTV prices are going down further with a new player in the industry – Playlist KTV.

About the Two Outlets

The family friendly KTV currently has two outlets. The West Coast CC branch offers 12 private rooms of different sizes while its VIP room can house up to 18 people. Aspiring singers can also sing in the hall in front of an audience. The other outlet at Sembawang CC is slightly smaller. It has 5 private rooms, with the biggest room able to house 9 pax.

Also, visitors can access  the song catalog from their phones. This saves time and the hassle of waiting for that friend who can’t decide what song to sing.

Budget Pricing

Here’s the rates as of 6 June 2019:

*** Happy Hour: Weekdays from 1300hr – 1900hr

There is also a free drink for each 3 hours block booked.

However, note that there is a minimum requirement of 2 pax to book the small rooms. For West Coast CC outlets, minimum 3 pax required on Fridays, Saturdays and eves of public holiday nights.

Other Amenities

The rooftop is home to a 18,000 sq ft Food Garden, where shoppers can experience a variety of edible plants through smell, touch and sight.

The heart of the Food Garden is the 5,000 sq ft Urban Farm operated by Edible Garden City.

One of the few urban farms in Singapore open to the public, it is designed as a production and functional space where visitors can learn how vegetables are produced and harvested.

There is also a futsal court at the rooftop.

Robot Helpers

Ever had the hassle experience of carrying your purchase whilst continuing to shop?

If you are going to put a price tag on friendship, how much would that be?

A Singapore company, Maybe, attempts to answer this question by letting you rent a friend for a fee. You can bring this new companion out to do activities with you. Besides paying for the hire, you are also required to pay for any fees incurred during the outing.

Like what the company suggests: “Meet someone new to do fun activities with, or simply have a meal together to talk about all there is under the sun”

However, the company is also quick to point out that this is not a social escort service and no forms of physical contact is allowed, except for a friendly handshake.

At the moment, there are 4 men and 24 women available for hire.

The Singapore Sports Hub launched a new heritage trail on Sunday (May 12), bringing back several heritage markers and artworks, in hopes to preserve and invoke some good memories, especially for those of us who had been to Kallang in the yesteryear.

This new 3km educational walking trail revolves around Singapore Sports Hub and is split into 3 parts – Waterfront, Stadium and Park trail.

What to look out for…

Merdeka Lions

We have heard alot about the Merdeka generation recently. The Merdeka Lions are iconic stone lion statues that guarded the two ends of Merdeka Bridge in 1960. However, the original statue has since been shifted to SAFTI Military Institute. What you will see at this trail are replicas.

14 Uniquely Designed Re-purposed Benches

These timber benches were re-purposed from the former National Stadium and these specially designed installations bring vibrancy to the trail.

Time to put on your jogging shoes and share some quality time with your parents at this brand new heritage trail!
