Set against the scenic backdrop of the Esplanade Outdoor Theatre, the combination of iconic waterfront views and a gentle evening breeze makes for the perfect atmosphere for a fun-filled musical experience. The open-air venue adds a casual, laid-back vibe that makes it an ideal setting for both Pokémon fans and dedicated music lovers.

This special Pokémon Brass Concert is part of a larger celebration marking the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Singapore and Japan. Beyond being a standalone event, it also complements the orchestra’s main ticketed performance at the Esplanade Concert Hall on 29 April 2026, conducted by Tatsuya Shimono and featuring pianist Kyohei Sorita. 

Founded in 1926, the NHK Symphony Orchestra is widely regarded as one of Japan’s most prestigious orchestras, known for its excellence and international presence. This special performance will feature a dynamic brass ensemble, including trumpets, horns, trombones, and tubas. Through these instruments, the musicians bring a bold and vibrant soundscape to the familiar Pokémon melodies, offering a unique interpretation that has both power and nuance.

Alongside the playful Pokémon themes, the ensemble will also present timeless classical pieces that showcase the versatility and expressive range of brass instruments. Audiences can expect a mix of refined compositions and light-hearted favourites suitable for all ages. A special appearance by Pikachu adds an interactive and whimsical element, making it especially appealing for families and younger audiences. 

Best of all, the event is free and open to the public on a first-come, first-served basis. Arriving early is recommended to secure a good spot. It’s a rare opportunity to enjoy world-class musicianship in a casual setting, so don’t miss out on a joyful evening of music and cultural exchange

Thus, I set out to look for a solution — I tried Beijing 101 for the first time with its newest treatment, the Tri-Action Scalp Revival, and was pleasantly surprised by the whole experience. Previously, I doubted the efficacy of these haircare treatments; however, Beijing 101’s stellar track record since its establishment in 1974 left me feeling optimistic about my own hair health.

The process 

Before we began, I was a little nervous, not knowing what I had signed up for. However, the reassuring consultant talked me through the 3-step routine—Hydro Scalp Reset, to clear clogged follicles and restore balance in the scalp, Nutrient Booster, to improve scalp condition for fuller-looking hair, and a Follicle Awakening Spray, to stimulate circulation and reduce hair fall —so I fully understood the procedures done to my hair. 

The treatment started with the Hydro Scalp Reset. The hair specialist used a small suction device to unclog my hair follicles, getting right into the nooks and crannies with the small handheld machine and going over every inch of my hair bed. Knowing there was likely an excess of dead skin, impurities, and product on my scalp, the procedure felt very satisfying.

After the Hydro Scalp Reset cleanse, a customised mask was applied to my hair to balance my scalp condition and remove excess oil. Then, my hair was washed, and I received a customised ampoule that was applied to my scalp with the Nutrient Booster, which uses vibration to embed the nutrients deep within my scalp. 

The therapist then gave me a Beijing 101 Signature Meridian Head Massage. He informed me that the signature massage releases Qi, aka energy blockages, boosting circulation and promoting relaxation while stimulating follicles. The massage truly felt relaxing and even lulled me to sleep a couple of times. 

The session concluded with Follicle Reawakening, a gentle spray that nourishes the scalp, minimises hair loss, and encourages growth by delivering active ingredients deep into the follicles. Upon completion, I noticed my scalp already feeling a lot cleaner and lighter, and I was excited to see the long-term effects of this treatment. 

My thoughts on the experience 

While at Beijing 101, I was surprised at the number of Gen Zs and millennials stopping by. I realised hair loss, hair thinning, and oily, flaky scalp were not only prevalent among the older generation. 

When I asked the consultant about this, he said that common causes for these concerns include high stress, poor diet, harsh treatments, and even being post-partum—things the younger generation are all too familiar with. 

It made me realise that while people are willing to invest in skincare products and professional treatments, we’ve painfully neglected our scalp care, and the consequences are stark.

Thankfully, Beijing 101 is now offering a promotion for the Tri-Action Scalp Revival for S$50 (U.P. S$535), so we can get started on our hair care journey. On top of that, they are giving a free S$10 Starbucks E-voucher and Beijing 101 Shampoo, valid for new customers only. 

What stood out to me about them is how they combine traditional Chinese herbs like ginseng, He Shou Wu, and dang gui with modern technology. It feels like a more holistic approach compared to typical treatments, which explains why they’ve built such a strong reputation over the years.

So if you’re like me and struggle with any of these concerns, utilise Beijing 101’s limited-time promotion and book an appointment via WhatsApp here!

Now available exclusively at its Jewel Changi location, the Cendol Gula Melaka Travel Cake (S$16.80) and Pandan Canelé (S$16.80) blend the flavours your parents grew up on, with classic European baking techniques. 

The Cendol Gula Melaka Travel Cake draws inspiration from the European gâteau de voyage—a style of cake designed to stay moist and travel well. Infused with fragrant pandan and rich gula melaka, it captures the essence of the beloved local dessert and is a convenient, shareable treat ideal for family gatherings.

Meanwhile, the Pandan Canelé reimagines the traditional French pastry known for its crisp, caramelised crust and soft centre. By incorporating pandan, a staple in Southeast Asian flavour, the bakery reinvents this classic confection with a distinctly Singaporean identity.

Fresh batches of these pastries are baked throughout the day at the Jewel outlet, allowing visitors to enjoy them while they’re warm and aromatic. The location also makes them a popular choice for travellers seeking a unique edible souvenir, as well as locals looking for thoughtful gifts.

For those wanting something more elaborate, the bakery also offers curated gift sets such as the Tote of Good Health ($56.80 to $58.80), which pairs baked goods with reusable keepsakes—an option well-suited for Mother’s Day gifting.

Founded in 2017, Mdm Ling Bakery has built a reputation for combining premium ingredients with inclusive offerings, including vegan, vegetarian and halal options. As part of Singapore’s Made With Passion initiative, the brand continues to celebrate local flavours while bringing people together through food.

If you haven’t made plans for Mother’s Day, this limited-edition launch dropped at just the right time. Bring your mom to Jewel Changi Airport for a little shopping and exploring, and conclude with these thoughtful treats from Mdm Ling Bakery.

What is the Lyrid Meteor Shower?

The Lyrid meteor shower is an annual celestial event that takes place as Earth passes through a trail of debris left by the Comet Thatcher. It’s known to have radiant meteors and to leave occasional bright flashes called a fireball. 

How to get the best views of the Meteor Shower

For optimal viewing in Singapore, the showers are said to peak on 22 April 2026 and 23 April 2026 after 11pm. For the best chance of spotting them, stay away from city lights and other forms of light pollution, and find a dark area with a clear view of the sky. Just in case you aren’t sure, we’ve compiled a few places to watch the meteor shower.

Changi Beach Park

Located near the edge of Singapore, Changi Beach is largely unaffected by the city lights and is a prime area for stargazing. The spacious beach and empty fields make a comfortable spot to settle for the night. Along with the cool seaside breeze, it’s one of our top spots for the best viewing experience. 

Changi Beach Park
260 Nicoll Drive, Singapore 498991

East Coast Park 

East Coast Park is another area commonly frequented by casual stargazers. Its more accessible location makes it a popular choice; however, there is slightly more light pollution with the LED lamps placed along every road. If you do choose to stargaze there, we recommend finding a darker and more secluded area, such as the beach, for a better chance of spotting the meteor shower. 

East Coast Park
East Coast Park Service Road, Singapore 449890

Labrador Nature Reserve

Labrador Nature Reserve offers lovely panoramic views of the sea and gets very dark at night, making it a suitable place to stargaze. However, it doesn’t have expansive fields and beaches like Changi Beach or East Coast Park. Rather, you may have to settle on a bench along its trail or boardwalk, or on the concrete floor of the Berlayer Shade. Whatever it is, the beautiful, tranquil views and clear view of the night sky will definitely make it worth the trouble.

Labrador Nature Reserve
91 Labrador Villa Road, Singapore 119190

Punggol 

Punggol has been a prime area for stargazing due to its low light pollution, and it even has its own astronomy club! Recommended viewing spots there include the Lorong Haulus Wetland, Sunrise Bridge in Punggol Waterway Park, and the Punggol Point Observation Deck in Punggol Point Park.

Punggol
Various locations

Upper Seletar Reservoir

One of the more scenic spots to go stargazing, Upper Seletar Reservoir offers a breathtaking view from a field near its lookout tower. The serene spot is located near the water’s edge, so you can gaze out into an expansive open space and sky. It’s the perfect place for some quiet contemplation while you try to catch the meteor showers.

Mandai Road Track 7

Yishun Dam 

The Yishun Dam is a secluded, hidden gem in the north that sports beautiful waterfront views and an uninterrupted vista of the skies. Situated near Rower’s Bay Park, it may not be the most accessible by public transport, but that just means you probably won’t have to share the space with throngs of fellow stargazers. 

Yishun Dam
Yishun Avenue 1, Singapore 769130

So if you want to gaze into the heavens and wonder at the endless cosmic space, these places should do the trick. Whether you’re planning a scientific pursuit or a romantic getaway, watching the stray comets streaking through our skies will definitely be a core memory you won’t forget!

What is VE/LA ?

VE/LA (เวลา) means time in Thai. In this instance of this speciality coffee and matcha house, its signature range draws inspiration from different moments of the day, accompanied by a colour gradient. 

The first 24-hour VE/LA outlet

Speaking of time, the upcoming VE/LA in Changi Airport will be the brand’s first 24-hour café, fitting of its location.

Positioned at the intersection between Terminal 1 and Jewel, the space allows both travelers and local visitors to access the café without the need for departure.

Menu

The Singapore menu will follow a streamlined selection of items featured in VE/LA’s London branch, comprising signature speciality coffee, matcha, and craft tea. From our research, signatures we can most likely expect in Singapore include the VE/LA Airecano, Cloudy Matcha, and Kaimook Latte.

Alongside these staples, the Singapore branch will also introduce a Singapore-exclusive tea—the Kaya Toast Latte. Inspired by Singapore’s beloved classic breakfast, the drink mixes familiar local flavours with VE/LA’s aesthetic gradients. 

Of course, with every good cup of coffee comes a light bite. While the official line-up of bites has not been announced, items available in most VE/LA branches consist of: Cookie Bites, Mille Crepe Boxes, Cake Boxes, and an iconic Banana Bread. 

With coffee sourced locally in Thailand and farms around the world, Thai-grown teas harvested from acclaimed organic tea farmers in Northern Thailand, and exclusively crafted matcha from Mie, Japan—a new kind of roast is set to make waves in Singapore in the months to come. 

Online Store

If visiting Changi Airport seems too far to sample VE/LA’s offering, you can also find the brand’s coffee beans, capsules, concentrates, and more on its online store. 

With more sensational cafés like VE/LA popping up in Singapore, it’s time to update your café-hopping list!
