We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming with these concerts, parties, restaurants, sports events, art shows, new stores and more. Remember to catch that break!

Explore a museums of over a thousand cameras
With the way smartphone cameras are advancing, the average happy snapper would struggle to find reasons to bring out even a compact DSLR. But if you still find a special sort of charm in vintage photography equipment, you’ll want to pay a visit to the new Vintage Camera Museum at Jalan Kledek.
Vintage Cameras Museum Singapore, 8C-8D Jalan Kledek, Singapore 199263. p. 8591 8918. $20 for adults, $15 for senior citizens and children up to 12.
Bust a move at Zouk
Take my word for it: there is no party in Singapore quite like Mambo Jambo; in fact, Mambo Jambo has transcended beyond the dancefloors, and has evolved into an enduring relic of Singapore pop culture. What’s with the hype? You’ll spot the most ridiculous charades-like dance moves synced in unison to cheesy yet timeless ’80s new-wave classics from Bananarama to Rick Astley. Leave your pretentiousness at the door; it ain’t that kind of party.
