Back from your exciting overseas travels and feeling a tad bluesy? Don’t be! July is a fabulous month to spend in Singapore: we’re just one month away from celebrating our nation’s birthday at what may be the year’s biggest birthday party yet, and it’s never too early to kickstart the celebrations by making some red-and-white dishes for a wonderful stay-in activity for starters!

You can also keep the kids (and yourselves) happy and occupied all month long, checking out the National Museum of Singapore’s latest immersive exhibition, having loads of fun at the first parent-child race after a two year hiatus, grooving it out at the electrifying Music Forever exhibition at Jewel, and keeping cool at recently re-opened water playgrounds all over our island.
