However, the JPO3 bus will set off from JPO at 10.30am, 1.30pm, 4.30pm, and 7.30pm.  How much are the tickets for the JPO2 and JPO3 buses? A one-way trip on the JPO2 bus costs RM4.50, while a one-way ticket on the JPO3 bus will set you back at RM6.

Good things come to those who wait, and residents along Hume Avenue will be thrilled to know that Hume MRT station is open for passenger service on February 28, 2025 at 3pm.

When leisure park ORTO in Yishun was shut down in 2023, many tenants including BBK Bistro and Bar were relocated – but the Live Turtle and Tortoise Museum stood strong and remained open. Sadly, the museum’s owner has announced that authorities have requested for it to vacate by the end of February 2025.  Photograph: Live Turtle Museum Singapore Owner Connie Tan announced the museum's closure in a TikTok video on January 27, 2025, where she shared that the museum happens to be smack in the centre of a construction site related to redevelopment projects in the vicinity. The museum will remain open until February 28, 2025 so you’ll want to plan a trip there soon for your last-ever visit.  The new location and re-opening dates have not been confirmed, but Connie hopes that the museum will be up and running again in June or July this year.  Photograph: Live Turtle Museum Singapore For those who’ve never been to the Live Turtle and Tortoise Museum, it’s more than just an animal park – it’s a sanctuary to many rare turtles and tortoises like the alligator turtle, radiated tortoise, sulcate tortoise, pig nose flying turtle, and Malaysia giant river turtle, some of which have been rescued.

The galactic gods are blessing us with a slew of celestial events – we’ve had Mars in opposition, the Geminid meteor shower, and the Orionid meteor shower happening in the past few months. Don’t pack up your telescopes or binoculars yet, as there’s another celestial event to catch. Known as the “planet parade”, this phenomenon happens when several planets are aligned in the sky and visible at the same time from Earth. This January, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Uranus are part of the planet parade.  When will the planet parade be visible in Singapore? The planet parade is currently visible in our night skies till February 20, 2025. Although this means you have plenty of time to go planet chasing, given the recent rainy weather in Singapore, it’s best to look out for these planets when the sky is clear.  The occurrences of a planet parade aren’t consistent. It’s been predicted that the next “planet parade” will happen in late January 2036, when Mars, Saturn, Uranus, Jupiter, Neptune and Venus are be visible in the night sky.  Where is the best place to view the planet parade in Singapore? There’s no need to scale mountains and climb hills to view the planet parade. This phenomenon should be easily visible anywhere in Singapore as long as the skies are clear.  Science Centre Singapore recommends open public areas such as Marina Barrage, East Coast Park, and the Southern Ridges for unblocked views of the planets with Singapore’s skyline in the background.

Our Little Red Dot may be small, but we sure aren’t short on hiking trails. We’ve got the Rail Corridor, Fort Canning Park, and the unmissable Singapore Botanic Gardens, filled with lush greenery and an array of wildlife. As Singapore continues to transform into a City in Nature, more green spaces have opened up, including the new Mandai Mangrove and Mudflat Nature Park and the revamped Bukit Batok Nature Corridor. Both parks are slated to be open to the public in 2028, with viewing decks and boardwalks for nature lovers to check out. Here’s everything you need to know about the two green spaces:  What upgrades are made to Bukit Batok Nature Corridor? Photograph: NParks Westies have loads to be excited about with the upgrades made at Bukit Batok Nature Park, Bukit Batok Town Park, and the new Bukit Batok Hillside Nature Park opening in 2028. For those who’ve never made the journey to the West, the nature corridor features 10km of trails connecting Bukit Timah Nature Reserve to the upcoming Tengah Forest Corridor. These same trails and existing streams are getting a facelift with a new boardwalk and observation decks overlooking the quarry, so you can safely peer into the waters to spot the marine residents. Families planning picnics can chill at the new play area or check out the exercise plazas to kick up some sweat. Additionally, new arrival nodes with toilets will be added – a major plus point for big public areas.  What can be expected at the new Mandai Mangrove and Mud

It doesn’t matter what season of life you’re in, a break is always welcome. Whether you’re looking for a weekend getaway or a longer vacation, there are many hotels in Singapore you can consider for a staycation, including the new Raffles Sentosa Singapore.  Set to open on March 1, 2025, Raffles Sentosa Singapore is the first all-villa property in Singapore. As its name suggests, the hotel is situated on Sentosa Island, set on a hilltop amongst the lush greenery. This resort is launched by the very same folks behind the iconic Raffles Singapore hotel, so guests can expect the same top-tier amenities and service here. But unlike Raffles Singapore, known for its classic colonial-era architecture, this new resort focuses on the natural landscape with contemporary designs that give a modern flair.  Photograph: Raffles Sentosa Singapore Raffles Sentosa Singapore has a total of 62 villas, including one-bedroom pool villas that are great for couples and four-bedroom villas which are ideal for large families.

It’s a great big galaxy, and we’re just specks of beings existing in it. For those who missed the Geminid meteor shower or the Perseids meteor shower last year, here’s your redemption – Mars in opposition (to Earth) will be happening this month. Here’s your guide on this galactic event, including where and how to view it.  What is Mars in opposition? For the uninitiated, Mars in opposition happens when Earth, Mars and the Sun are perfectly aligned. Basically, it’s when Earth is sandwiched right between the Sun and Mars. During this phenomenon, Earth and Mars are at their closest possible distance, and the red planet will be completely illuminated by the Sun and visible to us humans on Earth. Mars in opposition occurs every two years, with the last opposition happening on December 8, 2022 and the next on February 17, 2027. Why two years, you may ask? That’s because Mars takes approximately two years to complete an orbit around the Sun.  When will Mars in opposition be visible in Singapore? Mark your calendars and set your alarms as Mars in opposition will start becoming visible on January 16, 2025 around 7.30pm. The planet will be at its highest point at around 1am on January 17, 2025. That being said, the visibility also depends on the weather conditions.  If you aren’t planning to use special viewing equipment to spot the planet, take note that Mars will resemble a reddish star in the sky. But those who own a telescope should bust it out to best appreciate the details on the

The Mandai Wildlife sector is poppin’, with the recent announcements of the upcoming Rainforest Wild Asia park and Mandai Rainforest Resort. As we enter the new year, we’re adding one more thing to the list – the Mandai Boardwalk, now open to the public.  What can I expect at the Mandai Boardwalk?   Photograph: Mandai Wildlife Group     Bookmark this new 3.3km-long boardwalk as your next hiking trail to conquer. The path will take you past Upper Seletar Reservoir and the Central Catchment Nature Reserve, before circling back along the perimeter of River Wonders and Singapore Zoo. Don’t rush past the Singapore Zoo, as you can get a peep inside and observe the caretaking of some animals like the Rothschild’s giraffes. There’ll be plenty of local wildlife along the way too, including the straw-headed bulbul and flocks of long-tailed parakeets.  Photograph: Mandai Wildlife Group The boardwalk features five wildlife-themed spots and a lookout point that provides a stunning view of Upper Seletar Reservoir. These stations include the Tree Frog’s Hangout and the Iora’s Nest, all of which are named after wildlife that exist in both the forest and water ecosystems here. Should you need a rest, head to the Damselfly’s Wing rest station to catch a break.  Where are the entrances to the Mandai Boardwalk located? Photograph: Mandai Wildlife Group There are two entrances to the Mandai Boardwalk, with the first located near River Wonders. The other entrance can be found at Mandai Wildl
