We’re well on our way into the second half of the year. Hop in (a GOJEK), catch a break, and embrace all that June comes with – mazes by the waterfront, desserts disguised as entrées, and a cemetery, no less.

Play: DBS Marina Regatta – The Race Against Time
Where: The Promontory @ Marina Bay
When: 31 May – 2 June
It’s the 8th iteration of the DBS Marina Regatta, and it brings with it a whole slew of dragon boat races along with a giant eco-maze with obstacles at every corner. If you’re really in it for the chillin’, the event also boasts a pop-up Jim Beam Highball Bar, nosh from next-gen hawkers, and music from local musicians.

See: The Pigeoning
Where: Esplanade Annexe Studio
When: 30 May – 2 June
Watch Frank, who’s convinced the pigeons are up to no good, as he struggles for control and a semblance of safety in a world that’s ending. The performance will also be followed by a dialogue with the artists, as well as a closer look at the set and puppets.

Shop: Dustbunny Vintage
Where: 2A Keong Saik Road
Singapore isn’t exactly well-known for a strong vintage culture a la Melbourne and the UK, but that doesn’t mean it’s not doing it well. This boutique in particular stocks up on rare designer bags, vintage dresses older than your grandparents, and other well-curated wardrobe pieces.

Eat: Non Entrée Desserts
It’s a feast for Singaporeans… or is it? This dessert café specialises in making sweets that taste nothing like it looks. Bak chor mee? That’s mango vermicelli noodles with coconut parfait “fish” balls to you. Half-boiled eggs? Ma’am, this café sells desserts. In all seriousness – this is an experience as unnerving as it is delicious.

Explore: Japanese Cemetery Park
Where: 825B Chuan Hoe Avenue
Built by Japanese brothel keepers in 1891, this burial ground is home to former Japanese working girls, soldiers, marines, airmen, and civilians. Well-kept and frankly nothing short of stunning, this park homed in Serangoon serves as a sacred, brief respite from the rest of Singapore.
