Highlights

Welcome to the New Year! 2019 promises to be another busy year, packed full of exciting events to attend and activities to try out.

Most of us make New Year resolutions to live healthier lives. Our article Fun in the Sun offers you activities that are sure to get your bodies moving, in our parks. Need more persuasion? We have seven reasons why you should attend our events in our green spaces. There are exciting concerts, exhibitions you can attend with your pets and a chance to discover Singapore’s next musical star, among the many things you can look forward to. 

2019 also marks the Singapore Bicentennial with a slew of exciting and memorable events leading up to an exhibition to be held in Fort Canning Park later this year. Before this, our writer and photographer visit the park to discover its rich history and also examine the impact Sir Stamford Raffles has made on Singapore’s conservation efforts. 

If you prefer to learn more about the flora and fauna of our island, we look at the different kingfishers you can find in Singapore as well as explain how to tell the difference between a dragonfly and a damselfly.

The year has barely just begun and there are already so many things I cannot wait to do. Let’s go!
