You can dine with your family at the large hawker centre, or catch a free movie screening at an open area on the ground floor. But what you probably didn’t know is that you can also shoot some sick photos at various locations within the hub. It’s a pretty big place so there is some walking to do, but there are certain spots that can give you your next 500-likes picture. Let’s talk no further, and get shooting. Ground Level Look up from…

The Nike Air Vapormax is one of the company’s most intriguing innovations as of late. With Flyknit and a full-length Air cushioning, the sneaker is already set for legendary status. Now, this future hall-of-fame sneaker will be draped in a classic colourway: the “Bred”, meaning black and red. This version will feature a blood-red air bubble sole unit, making it look like you’re stepping on the blood of your enemies (hehehe). The swoosh will also be in a metallic red, with reflective “Vapormax” branding on the heel. Nike’s Air Vapormax was first revealed to the world in March of 2017,…

I am sure you’ve been in a situation where you were waiting for a movie to start at the cinema, or you were just waiting for a friend who is perpetually late (that’s me). So you were stuck with nothing much to do but to idly just… wait. Next time, you can go practice for your potential The Voice audition and sing at a pay-per-song karaoke at The Cathay! Voicebooth KTV is a Korean karaoke with a trendy and lively environment. It may be Korean-themed, but you can still find all the typical English and Mandarin songs that you’re familiar…

Do you wish to carry a light around with you wherever you go? Not just any light either, but a light that can instantly turn up the mood and ambience. Diah was designed to be a modern and portable LED light, allowing users to express their creativity by building the individual sheets of lights like Lego.

You can use it in multiple ways; as a…

Sharp and hilariously savage, Bianca Del Rio’s humour is bound to get you in stitches as she makes her way to the Shine Auditorium on 26 November 2017 for a one night only show! The winner of the sixth season of RuPaul’s Drag Race is known for her witty and insulting jokes, making fun of anything and everything. So you better not be a sensitive little b**ch if you intend to show up for this show. (I’m sorry, that was my attempt at an insult joke. Did it work?) Roy Haylock is the person behind the polarising character of Bianca…

You listen to Kanye West, to Jay-Z, Kendrick Lamar, and Travis Scott. Without a doubt, these guys know how to spit sick bars and drop heavy beats. But as the years have gone by, the hip-hop scene has shown that it isn’t just dominated by talented African Americans anymore. I don’t think I need to tell you this, but Asia is on fire right now with rap music culture as a whole. Just take a look at Korea, China, Taiwan, and you can see the influence of hip-hop in not just the music, but in their fashion sense and attitude…

Are you afraid of the ocean and the kind of creatures it brings? Perhaps this beautiful exhibition will ease your fears. Wu Yanrong’s Marine Fantastic – An Illustrated Introduction to Crustaceans aims to inspire a love for mother nature and marine life. A Singaporean illustrator, Yanrong became curious about the ocean when she found out that humans have actually only explored less than five percent of the sea. She then started painting the living creatures that dwell along the bottom of the ocean – particularly crustaceans, as she found them fascinating. But painting shrimps and crabs is not the only…

An architect turned streetwear mogul; Virgil Abloh is the man responsible for bridging the gap between luxury and street with his Off-White label. Celebrities love to rock it, and China loves to produce counterfeits of it. In 2017, Virgil took on a project that’s probably one of his biggest yet: the Off-White x Nike “The Ten”. He dug up 10 shoes from Nike’s archives, and sought to redesign them; rebuild them from the top down, inside out. The result was certainly a breath of fresh air, and the collection is 2017’s most hyped and talked about sneaker collaboration. This came…

Kanye worshippers and Yeezy followers, listen closely. The long-anticipated Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2 in “Semi Frozen Yellow” colourway is finally dropping on 18 November 2017. The sneaker is built with the same design as all Yeezy Boost 350 V2s, meaning you get Adidas’ Primeknit construction paired with the renowned Boost cushioning. This time though, the colourway sure is something to behold. Remember the yellow highlighter you used to highlight your entire biology textbook with? That’s basically the main colour of choice here for Kanye. Also, are you peeping at that classic gum sole? That is perfect if you ask…
