Events in September 2017

Do you always find yourself lamenting over how you have so little time but yet so much to do? For most of us, time is a luxury and instead of pursuing our interests during our free time, we spend that time sleeping and recovering the sleep debt that we incurred from work exhaustion.

With so much on your plate, you would also have little time to suss out activities and things that you can fill up your weekend with. And before you know it, your free time has eluded your grasp and the new work week begins.

But that is what we are here for; to share with you the latest happenings in Singapore and exciting activities to participate in for a fruitful weekend. Here are 21 Events In September 2017 In Singapore for those who have no life.
