Don’t worry, because we have done a breakdown for you so you can join the challenge as soon as possible and not miss out on all the rewards and prizes involved!

How the ReadSG Challenge works

The ReadSG Challenge is the National Library Board’s (NLB) national reading initiative that aims to encourage Singaporeans to “rediscover the joy of reading through a simple daily reading habit”. The ‘challenge’ in question is simply to read for 15 minutes every day and build that daily rhythm.

After each reading session, you can log it via CrowdTaskSG’s website, contributing to NLB’s Read for Good charity drive at the same time.

To begin, click ‘Join quest’ on this page and log in with your Singpass account. The first thing you will want to do is find out your Reading Flavour through a simple personality quiz. You will then receive personalised book recommendations based on your results. Will you be a Kueh Lapis, Kulfi, Tang Yuan or Ang Ku Kueh like me?

No matter which personality type you are, it does not matter, as long as you start reading! You can immediately access your Daily Reading Log on CrowdTaskSG and complete your daily reading task.

Other than building a reading habit and contributing to a good cause, you will also earn rewards along the way. For every daily reading session logged, you will earn 20 coins. Every 1,000 coins accumulated can be converted into S$1 and used at any participating NETS QR merchant.

But that’s not the biggest reward you can get. 

Kobo eReader Giveaway

From now until 7 October 2026, completing 15 reading sessions will give you a chance to win a Kobo Clara Colour eReader (worth S$259.90). As long as you successfully meet the 15-session criteria, you will automatically be entered into this Lucky Draw; no separate registration is required.

Start the ReadSG Challenge on the same day this article was published, and you will have more than enough time. Will you be 1 out of 8 lucky winners? Results will be announced on 14 October 2026.

If you miss the first Lucky Draw’s qualifying period, a second one will commence from 8 October 2026 to 30 November 2026. This time, the prize you stand a chance to win is a Kobo Libra Colour eReader (worth S$369.90). Compared to the Clara Colour, this device has a larger screen, twice the storage capacity, and physical page-turn buttons.

To enter this Lucky Draw, you will need to log 30 reading sessions within the qualifying period and not have won in the first Lucky Draw. 7 winners will be announced on 6 January 2027 and will receive their new Libra Colour.

Big Book Giveaway 2026

If reading more books was one of your New Year’s resolutions and you haven’t really started (ahem, talking from personal experience), now’s a great opportunity! In fact, you can kickstart your reader’s journey this weekend with the Big Book Giveaway (BBG).

This annual community event by NLB is happening on 19 & 20 September 2026, inviting visitors to bring home pre-loved books from its public library collections, free of charge. If you’d like, you can also bring your own books to share with others.

BBG will take place from 10am to 4pm at the National Library Building’s Level 1 Plaza, and you can take back with you a maximum of 10 books. Checking in at this event will also earn you 20 bonus coins on CrowdTaskSG. Find out more here.

It’s time to fall in love with reading again.

Apple’s latest iPhone 18 Pro series is releasing this week, but the tech giant has just dropped another piece of good news that might excite you even more. Starting end-September, iCloud+ subscribers in Singapore will gain access to Apple TV and Apple Arcade as part of their subscription – at no additional cost.

Longtime Apple users will be familiar with iCloud+ – a subscription service that grants additional cloud storage and automatically backs up photos, videos, files, apps, and more. It also syncs data across devices, so users can switch around without worrying about losing anything that matters.

However, starting this month, iCloud+ subscribers will also get to enjoy a suite of entertainment options alongside the backup service, all under one convenient subscription. 

What’s included

Apple TV is Apple’s streaming service known for its award-winning drama series, films, and documentaries. Familiar titles include Ted Lasso, Severance, and F1. Aside from these hits, the platform also sees new releases every week. You’ll find hundreds of Apple Originals worth your watch time.

Apple Arcade, on the other hand, gives you access to more than 200 games and endless hours of fun. The curated catalogue includes instantly recognisable titles such as NBA 2K26 Arcade Edition, Angry Birds Reloaded, Cooking Mama: Cuisine!, Subway Surfers+, and more.

Apple TV is available via the Apple TV app on virtually any screen, including iPhones, iPads, Apple TV 4K, Macs, smart TVs, and gaming consoles. Games in Apple Arcade can be played on iPhones, iPads, Macs, and Apple TV 4K.

For Singaporean iCloud+ users, a collection of ad-free stations dubbed Apple Music Select will also be available via the Apple Music app. Check it out if you’d like to mix up your daily playlists.

Pricing

Here’s the best part – all these new additions are available from the lowest tier 50GB iCloud+ subscription, which costs just S$1.48 a month. You can even share your subscription with up to 5 family members, bringing the monthly subscription fees down further. And yes, no additional costs are required.

Higher storage tiers are also available, up to 12TB at S$84.98 per month. For more information on all available iCloud+ plans, click here.

As of the time of writing, no specific date for the latest iCloud+ rollout has been confirmed, other than that it will be “through the end of September”, so we’ll have to stay tuned. For those wondering, Apple Arcade and Apple TV will no longer be available as individual subscriptions in Singapore, but current subscribers will continue to have uninterrupted access through their iCloud+ subscription.

Whether you are already an Apple user or are swapping over soon, this free upgrade to iCloud+ is a win for everyone. Here’s hoping the subscription fees will stay at their current pricing for long.

Octoberfest Promotion

This Oktoberfest Special is a feast built for sharing among 4-5 pax in a halal-friendly execution! Chiko Octo Fest Platter (S$200) is an insane spread that comes with Beef Short Ribs, Lamb Ribs, Spring Chicken, and Chicken Sausage, with 2 sides of Sauerkraut Cabbage and Potato Salad – meat lovers, this one’s for you. Expect tender, succulent, and packed with flavour – sinful enough to justify the extra gym session. 

If there’s one protein to prioritise, it’s the Beef Short Ribs! Hands down the standout of the spread, and it goes well with the black pepper dipping sauce. 

Shareables

The Chiko Pollo Original (S$12) has crunchy chicken bites and crispy fries that get a fiery makeover, tossed in a rich, sambal-style sauce that’s savoury and not as spicy as it looks, yet addictive, which kept us reaching for more.  

The Heart of the Meal

The Truffle Mushroom Pasta with Angus Steak (S$29) is an indulgent comfort food, elevated. The truffle mushroom sauce is deeply umami and immensely creamy, clinging to every strand of pasta, while the Angus steak brings a satisfying, tender bite to round out the dish.

Seeking a guilty pleasure in every bite? Banjir Burger (S$22) is the one for you, with 2 layers of smoky and peppery beef patty, a side of fries and Banjir cheddar cheese sauce – super shiok and not too jelak. You can either dip the burger in for cheese control or drench it and let the beautiful mess happen. 

Mojitos & Mixers

Chiko Pollo’s Non-Alcoholic Butter Beer (S$10) is a beer-y clever addition to the Oktoberfest lineup. The concoction includes Ginger Ale, Butter Scotch Syrup, Salted Caramel, and Whipped Cream – not for the faint of heart (or the calorie-conscious). If you’re feeling adventurous, try the Watermelon Milk (S$7) and their Virgin Mojito (S$7), both equally refreshing. 

Sweet Endings

You might expect the Fudgy Biscoff Brownie (S$8) to be decadently sweet and unapologetically rich; instead, it’s a dessert that does light. 

Chiko Pollo is a cosy spot that’s perfect for big groups and family gatherings.  Make your way down soon and make your reservations here!

Toei Animation, the studio behind these iconic series, will be coming to Jewel Changi Airport on 3 October 2026 in the form of the Toei Animation Store Singapore. This new storefront will be a dedicated space for all things Toei Animation, especially official merchandise.

More than just a retail store, Toei Animation Store Singapore will also feature themed displays and interactive experiences. You will not only get to explore products across Toei Animation’s famous franchises but also get to snap pictures at character-themed photo walls.

Fans can also look forward to in-store seasonal activities and programmes specially catered to them. From character celebrations to community activations to limited-edition product releases, the store will be the gathering place for all you otakus.

Another fun experience and one of the store’s key features is a gacha photo-strip machine. For S$3.50 per pull, visitors will walk away with a random, playful collectable featuring fan-favourite characters. Multiple designs will be available.

Toei Animation’s new storefront at Jewel Changi Airport will take the spot previously home to the One Piece-themed store – Mugiwara Store Singapore. Both stores are presented by Omnisekai, a company specialising in bringing manga and anime concepts to life. So, if you enjoyed visiting the Mugiwara Store in the past, you will love what’s coming next to the same location.

This immersive exhibition is even larger, spanning 3,500 square metres and featuring 12 scenes from Studio Ghibli’s beloved animated films. You will experience storytelling brought to life as you walk through life-sized recreations of familiar scenes. 

This includes a towering eight-metre bathhouse from Spirited Away, a bus stop under the rain from My Neighbour Totoro, and the Guchokipanya bakery from Kiki’s Delivery Service.

It is a given that visitors and fans alike will leave with many photos taken at this exhibition. However, you can also leave with something more.

Wagyu Suji Matsuri takes centre stage at Aburi-EN with new dishes starting from S$9.90 and an S$8 red wine top-up. This deal is available for a limited time only, from 15 September 2026 to 31 October 2026. 

Wagyu Suji Promotion

The menu showcases tender, slow-simmered beef tendon, prepared across an array of Japanese-inspired dishes. Kick things off with the Crispy Wagyu Suji Karaage (S$9.90) or the Stir-fry Wagyu Suji with Capsicum (S$11.90), a great appetiser. For the mains, pick between the Wagyu Suji Dry Ramen (S$14.90), Spicy Nogi Wagyu Suji Don (S$15.90), which ads a fiery kick, or the Wagyu Suji Nikomi Don (S$17.90) that comes with an onsen egg. Each delivers a hearty, comforting dish where the beef tendon’s rich, gelatinous texture takes centre stage – perfect casual lunch with your colleagues and friends. 

And because no post-work wind-down is complete without a proper “whine” down, top up S$8 for a glass of red wine with any Wagyu Suji Matsuri dish – a moo-velous way to “un-wine-d” after a long day at work or cheers to a warm and umami-rich meal. 

Do note that this promotion is available for dine-in at all Aburi-EN outlets, except Aburi-EN Grand at Paragon. Swing by your nearest store and give the new items a try.
