Putt your best foot forward at this newly-opened, two-storey Clarke Quay mini-golf club where you can imbibe while trying your hand at 27 differently-themed holes, with smile-inducing pop culture references ranging from Game of Thrones (said throne made of golf clubs, no less) to The Simpsons, across three courses.

Besides Instagram-worthy backdrops at every turn, there’s also a whimsical food and drink menu — check out their OTT candy-heavy cocktails like Electric Blue ($21++) and Sugar Caddy ($19++), which will almost make you forget those pineapple tarts.

Mini-golf sessions start from $20 per head for nine holes.

Where: Holey Moley is at 3B River Valley Road, Clarke Quay, Singapore 179024. 

Missed out on that long weekend getaway this year? A great staycay will just have to suffice. You may still even get those CNY #feels if you choose to put up at the Pan Pacific Singapore, which is offering a staycation package specifically so you can catch the Lunar New Year fireworks — from the comfort of your hotel room, of course.

Valid until Feb 10, the package extends to selected room categories, and includes breakfast for two, wifi, local calls, parking, among other amenities. A quick check for a two-night stay starting Feb 4 showed rates starting from $570++ per night. Talk about starting the New Year on an indulgent note.

Where: Pan Pacific Singapore is at 7 Raffles Boulevard, Singapore 039595. 

And we’re not talking about the traditional Chinatown light-up, which is often overcrowded, as spectacularly colourful and exciting as the whole thing may be.

Instead, check out this year’s edition of i Light Singapore, Asia’s leading sustainable light art festival, which will be held in conjunction with the Singapore Bicentennial commemoration. It runs from Jan 28 to Feb 24 and will see 32 artworks illuminating key areas including Marina Bay, the Civic district and the Singapore River.

Highlights include Lighthouse of Time, which transforms the ArtScience Museum into a lighthouse with dancing lights, and The Rainbow Connection, which incorporates upcycling and solar light modules to create a fantastical dreamscape.

Where: i Light Singapore – Bicentennial Edition will be held from Jan 28 to Feb 24 from 7.30pm to 11pm daily with extended hours to 12am on Fridays and Saturdays. General admission is free. 

If you haven’t already been to the Minimalism exhibit at the National Gallery, then you are truly missing out. Not only is it the source of the many Instagram posts you’ve been scrolling through, but it is also a great place to get away from the buzz of daily life and engage yourself in some deep thought — especially on a day where everyone else is bound to be anywhere but here. Running till April 14 (even on PHs), consider heading here if you don’t have to make your rounds. 

Where: National Gallery Singapore–Minimalism: Space. Light. Object now till April 14, from 10am to 7pm daily with extended hours to 9pm on Fridays. General admission is free for Singaporeans and PRs.

Where: National Gallery Singapore, The Arts House, Asian Civilisations Museum, the Esplanade Park, Victoria Theatre and Victoria Concert Hall. From Jan 28 to Feb 24, 5pm to midnight. General admission is free.
