5. Sunday Jam Session at The Jazz Loft (Every Sunday)
It feels almost like it should be a secret, but this is too good not to share. Every Sunday evening, tucked away in Bali Lane, you can get a taste of live jazz jams at The Jazz Loft @ Blu Jaz Cafe at no cover charge.
Called the Sunday Jam Sessions, each session opens with a rotating trio of well-loved pianists, bassists and drummers:
- Pianist Andreaz Rozario with Richmond Lip on bass and Tristan Seow on drums
- Pianist Rachma Lim with Judy Tsai on bass and Nathaniel Ng on drums
Then, homegrown and international jazz stars take the stage — some familiar faces already well established in the jazz world, and some up and coming jazz musicians paving the way for a new wave of jazz.
You never really know exactly who you’ll get to hear (to our knowledge, they don’t publish this anywhere), but perhaps the mystery is part of the appeal. Just like jazz improv, every iteration is unique.
Sunday Jam Session at The Jazz Loft
- Date and time: Sundays, 7.30 – 11pm (Doors open at 7pm)
- Venue: The Jazz Loft @ Blu Jaz, 11 Bali Lane, Level 3, Singapore 189848

Everyone wants a safe space where you can just be you, and be supported. Not everyone has such spaces in their lives — but everyone deserves them.

Here’s how a month’s worth of Growth Circle sessions looks like:

4. Make friends with Friendzone (March 26 and 27)
One of my closest friends used to use the dating app Tinder — not to date, but to make friends. She would chat with people on the app-filtering out any creeps, of course — and actually made some meaningful friendships from her efforts.
These days, there’s an easier, non-virtual way to make friends. Friendzone hosts community — building gatherings for young adults to connect with each other and develop friendships.
They believe that Singapore is, and I quote, “full of diversity and interesting people that just haven’t met yet”. If you don’t agree, maybe you should give one of their sessions a try.
This month, there are three free Friendzone sessions planned at the time of writing:
Session | Date and time | Venue and address |
Yap & Nom with 7-Eleven (Session 1 for Students) | 26 Mar 2025, 6 – 715 pm | Telok Ayer (location sent via WhatsApp after confirmation) |
Yap & Nom with 7-Eleven (Session 2 for Working Adults) | 26 Mar 2025, 730 – 845 pm | Telok Ayer (location sent via WhatsApp after confirmation) |
Let’s Talk About Purpose & Passion | 27 Mar 2025, 730 – 930 pm | Maxwell (location sent via WhatsApp after confirmation) |
Remember to respect that these are friend-making events, not dating ones.
5. Zalora’s Snap and Drop Programme
Zalora is extending its Snap and Drop Programme, a programme that lets you donate your unwanted clothing to reduce the amount of apparel that ends up in landfills. On top of that, you’ll receive a $10 cashback voucher from Zalora for each clothing drop you make. How does it work? It’s pretty simple:
Pack your clothes, shoes, bags and more-basically any fabric item.
Snap a photo of your bag of unwanted fabric items in front of the collection box at any of these drop-off locations.
Drop your items into the collection box. You’ll also want to note down the collection box number (SG0XXX) on the front of the box.
Fill in this form to get your cashback! You can only redeem this once a month, and the cashback expires in one month.
For this initiative, Zalora is partnering with Life Line Clothing, a Malaysia-based zero waste textile collector. They’ll sort the donated items and resell the apparel in good condition while refurbishing, upcycling, recycling, or even reprocessing the poorer condition items into fuels.

Uncle Chris is a self-described “everyday Singapore uncle” who’s seen a lot of Singapore over the years, and now loves showing it to others. Join Uncle Chris on his free walking tours to be entertained and even educated on the hidden heritage, culture and history behind various areas in Singapore.
I love how Uncle Chris always comes up with interesting itineraries and angles. He spills all he knows, and isn’t afraid to touch on the darker parts of history; for this reason, do look out for tours that are adult only — Geylang Red-Light District Walking Tour, anyone?
Do note that while Uncle Chris Walking Tours are not ticketed, you’re strongly encouraged to tip at the end of the tour. Their tipping guidelines are $20 for a satisfactory guide, $20+ for a guide who exceeds expectations, and $30 for an outstanding guide.
If you’re keen on tours in Singapore, another great option for you is the heritage tours conducted by My Community, a non-profit organisation that showcases and celebrates the community, culture and heritage in locales like Queenstown, Bukit Merah and Tiong Bahru.
Off the mainland, they also conduct tours to St John Island, Sentosa, and Pulau Ubin. These tend to be pretty popular, so be sure to reserve your slot early!

These workshops will equip you with the relevant skills and knowledge in our digital age to prepare you for the quickly evolving office landscape.
