SHOP: Underground Market No.7
Underground Market is not your run-of-the-mill flea market, it’s an eco-friendly bazaar that allows you to shop the wardrobes of fashion personalities at crazy low prices! You can get barely worn clothes from brands like Zara, COS, Topshop, ASOS and more for as low as $5! Psst.. we heard that there will be Alexander Wang and Phillip Lim heels going for less than $100. In conjunction with Green is the New Black , this edition of Underground Market will feature food, music and drinks, with 10% of all proceeds going to charity!
Underground Market No.7 is located at 1 Keong Saik Road, Singapore 089109
EXERCISE: Jubilee Big Walk 2o15
I’m not a huge fan of running so marathons don’t interest me but walking, I don’t mind. So it’s time to get off my lazy ass and take part in the SG50 Jubilee Big Walk happening this Sunday! This year’s Big Walk is extra special due to our jubilee celebrations, it takes participants through three meaningful journeys – relive the past, appreciate the present and relish the future. The walk will start from the National Museum and end at The Meadow – Gardens By The Bay.
Registration fees are $28 for Non PAssion card holders and $25 for PAssion card holders. More information can be found here.

EAT: Max Brenner

It’s gonna be a jam-packed weekend of event after event, but don’t forget to fill your stomach along the way! While you’re hopping from one place to another, I recommend dropping by Max Brenner if you’re in the area and craving for something a little indulgent. This specialty chocolate bar has a sound rep for its decadent pastries and beverages, but the Classic European Fondue ($25.90) is where its true legacy lies. It’s served with three towers of chocolate sauce and a small personal grill for you to toast those marshmallows. Mmmm.
Max Brenner is located at 1 Harbourfront Walk, VivoCity #01-116, Singapore 098585.
ATTEND: Neon Lights
Calling all indie music devotees! Here’s a brand new music and arts festival for you to soak in the hipster vibes this weekend. Joining its eye-popping lineup are notable acts in the alternative scene such as Daughter, Damien Rice, Rachael Yamagata, Mogwai and more. There will also be lots of art exhibitions, stand-up comedy and urban live literature stages to revel in. Plus a delightful slew of food vendors, sideshow circus stunts, and even a DIY paper making workshop to keep you entertained throughout the show.
Neon Lights is taking place at Fort Canning Green and Gate. Ticketing info can be found here.
