GO: Singapore Toys Games & Comics Convention (STGCC)
Expect a weekend of fun and excitement at STGCC! For the first time ever, there will be a cosplay competition that will see performances from the best cosplayers around the island. Don’t forget to visit the artists’ corner, where renowned names in the comic book industry like Adam Hughes, Jim Chung and Adi Granov will be participating in panels to talk more about their work and the comic book industry. If you’re an aspiring artist, you can also send in your portfolio for review by C.B Cebulski, Marvel’s talent scout. Check out our post for more highlights on the event!
STGCC will be held on 12 and 13 Sept, at the Marina Bay Sands, Sands Expo and Convention Center, Level 1, Halls B and C.
TRY: Yoga at SOULSCAPE
Join hundreds of yoga enthusiasts at one of the largest yoga festivals in Singapore, SOULSCAPE. Although yoga-centric, you can also explore music and dance in this full-day event held at Tanjong Beach, Sentosa. Ticket holders get to access special yoga sessions by internationally recognised yoga instructors, but there are areas that are accessible by the public as well.
SOULSCAPE will be held on 12 Sep, at Tanjong Beach Sentosa. For more information, visit soulscape.sg/

Shake it off with Cornetto at the Shake It Off Battle to win a chance to see Taylor Swift at The 1989 World Tour in Singapore!

Fans of Cafe&Meal Muji, rejoice! Muji just opened its first Cafe&Meal Singapore branch at the revamped flagship store in Paragon. Expect long queues for the coming weeks though as the place is a cosy 52 seater. Two recommended dishes are the Butter Chicken Curry served with salad and rice and the Roasted Tea Pudding ($5.40).

SHOP: ZOUK Flea & Easy
This coming Sunday from 2-7pm, #ZoukFleaAndEasy is back and they are going street. Featuring an array of curated stalls befitting of the theme like YoungHungryFree, SUP Clothing and Flesh Imp, you might just find your perfect bling amongst all those stalls. And how is a flea complete without food? You can expect yummy grub from the people from Table at 7 and Selva Foods Acai Bowls just to name a couple.
Zouk is located at 17 Jiak Kim Street, Singapore 169420
MAKE: 3 Ingredient Nutella Brownies
Love to eat but not a huge fan of cooking? Start easy with 3 ingredient recipes, they are (almost) fool-proof! This week, I’m going to have a go at this 3 ingredient nutella brownies. I was told I’d never want to bake brownies the same ever again, lets see if that’s true. If you’re trying this recipe this weekend, tag us @TeenageMagazine on Instagram! We would love to see yours (brownie that is).

LISTEN: Go on a music binge
There have been so many music releases recently, it’s making my head spin! And it’s been super busy here at the Teenage HQ, thus I’ve been kinda lagging behind when it comes to the latest records. This weekend, I’ll be binge-listening to tracks from Demi Lovato, Imagine Dragons, Carly Rae Jepsen and even Justin Bieber. Here are a few songs to listen to:
- Roots – Imagine Dragons
- What Do You Mean – Justin Bieber
- She’s Kinda Hot – 5 Seconds of Summer
- Music to Watch Boys To – Lana Del Rey
- E.MO.TION (album) – Carly Rae Jepsen
Enjoy!
DIY: Centred Marble Manicure
A creative twist to your usual marble manicures, I like how this method offers a unique take on the ‘traditional’ designs as well as a new technique to the no-water methods of old. The trick to this is to use nail polishes with watery consistencies and to gently but quickly drag the second colour across your base before it dries up. Again, tag us in your #Manicure at @TeenageMagazine to share your design!

LISTEN: Wild – Troye Sivan
As a fellow subscriber of Troye Sivan’s YouTube channel, I was beyond thrilled upon hearing the news that this talented lad releasing his new mini album – and it certainly doesn’t disappoint. His previous smash hit ‘Happy Little Pill’ is already eargasm at its best, but the tracks off Wild are really something else. It’s an unapologetic, thought-provoking record of bravery, pride and youth. Recommended tracks include ‘Wild’, ‘Bite’, ‘Fools’ and literally everything else.
EAT: Nando’s
As if we’re not already obsessed with Nando’s, it’s giving us even more reasons to love ‘em with their freshly revamped menu and newly improved recipes. The line-up includes a total of 9 new burgers, pita and wraps, but what really steals the show for me is the Nandoca’s (apparently that’s what the employees are called!) Choice Burger ($16.90). Peri Peri lovers are sure to devour this creation, with a flame-grilled chicken breast sandwiched between toasted garlic buns. The menu is now available across all Nando’s restaurants in Singapore.
DIY: Frosted Drinking Glasses

I’m definitely guilty ‘bout not abiding by the universal ‘eight glasses of water per day’ rule, but with these snazzy glasses, I’ll gladly gulp down two litres every day. And it’s super easy to do! To create the frosted effect, simply dip a sponge into some glass paint and dab at the outside of the drinking tumbler. You can make it translucent, opaque, or go wild layering with different colours. Leave the cups to dry overnight and you can have fun with it the next day!
