The Vent Machine

0 0 There is something about Formula 1 season in Singapore that makes the entire city feel a little faster. The lights get brighter, engines get louder and suddenly performance is not just something happening on the track. Devialet is leaning into that mood with the launch of the Phantom Ultimate 98 dB – Pulse Blue, a striking new edition of its compact high-fidelity speaker, fronted by Formula 1 driver Isack Hadjar.

0 0 There are some PR deliveries that disappear into the pantry and others that immediately get someone excited. When Barilla sent us its new Gran Ruote Racing Edition pasta ahead of the Singapore Grand Prix, my child was instantly fascinated by the tiny wheel-shaped pieces. Needless to say, they were a hit at home. For me, the pairing was even easier because I have long been a fan of Barilla’s pesto sauces.

0 0 Looking for a quick escape without committing to a full cruise holiday? World Legacy is welcoming guests from Singapore and Johor Bahru with international dining, live entertainment, overnight stays and limited-time introductory offers. Sometimes, a change of scenery is all you need. A leisurely meal, uninterrupted sea views and perhaps a night away from the city’s usual routine can make even a short getaway feel like a holiday.

0 0 Children today are growing up in a world of constant stimulation. Screens are everywhere, schedules are packed and attention is often pulled in several directions at once. In that context, an ancient classical dance form may seem far removed from modern childhood. Yet Bharatanatyam can offer something surprisingly relevant. My daughter Divisha began learning Bharatanatyam at Sarva Fine Arts in January 2025.

0 0 There is something instantly nostalgic about stepping into a space filled with familiar Sesame Street characters. But at Sesame Street Magical Art World Chapter 2, the experience goes beyond spotting Elmo or Cookie Monster. The characters many of us grew up with have been reimagined through contemporary art, sensory installations and interactive spaces designed for both children and adults. I recently had a first look at the exhibition during the media preview at Marina Square.

0 0 Singapore shoppers looking to discover more Hong Kong brands have a new online shopping event to explore this September. The Hong Kong Trade Development Council, or HKTDC, has launched the Hong Kong Shopping Festival in Singapore for the first time, marking the event’s debut in an ASEAN market. Running from 21 to 27 September 2026, the festival features around 100 brands and more than 350 products available through Shopee, Lazada and the official campaign website.

0 0 There are places you visit because you have a specific activity booked, and then there are places you end up staying at much longer than expected. TRIFECTA Singapore is increasingly the latter. I recently checked out the Somerset sports and wellness enclave with a friend, and what stood out was not simply the surfing or snowboarding facilities it originally became known for. It was how easy the space felt to spend time in. You could come here specifically to surf.

0 0 There is something appealing about events that bring together a little movement, some family-friendly fun and the chance to discover new products. If you are looking for a reason to step out this week, Watsons Get Active 2026 offers a mix of all three. Returning for its third edition, Watsons Get Active is taking over the Suntec City Atrium (Convention Centre) from 14 to 20 September. This year’s theme, “Move. Fun. Shop.

0 0 There are some mall outings that begin as a quick meal and somehow turn into an entire afternoon of discovery. Our recent visit to NEX was exactly that. We started with lunch at Charcoal Grill Shinpachi, where the salmon set was an easy favourite, before heading down to the TANGS Mid-Autumn Fair at the Level 1 Atrium. With mooncake counters stretching across the space, there was plenty to sample, but the one that won us over was Home’s Favourite.
