It’s crazy how 2020 flew by! We are already approaching 2021 and we can all agree that zero overseas travels and social distancing measures has made this year a, well, not-so-great one.
But those in Singapore are lucky enough to be living in a safe city with plenty of exciting events. Here are 7 upcoming nighttime events that are happening in December for us to end the year on a high note!
