It feels almost like it should be a secret, but this is too good not to share. Every Sunday evening, tucked away in Bali Lane, you can get a taste of live jazz jams at The Jazz Loft @ Blu Jaz Cafe at no cover charge.
Called the Sunday Jam Sessions, each session opens with rotating trios of well-loved pianists, bassists and drummers, such as pianist Rachma Lim, bassist Nobu Shiraishi, and drummer Ting Wei.
Then, homegrown and international jazz stars take the stage-some familiar faces already well established in the jazz world, and some up and coming jazz musicians paving the way for a new wave of jazz. You never really know exactly who you’ll get to hear (to our knowledge, they don’t publish this anywhere), but perhaps the mystery is part of the appeal. Just like jazz improv, every iteration is unique.
Sunday Jam Sessions at The Jazz Loft

https://www.instagram.com/p/C2oTfFrvEtq/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link
Zalora is extending its Snap and Drop Programme, a programme that lets you donate your unwanted clothing to reduce the amount of apparel that ends up in landfills. On top of that, you’ll receive a $10 cashback voucher from Zalora for each clothing drop you make. How does it work? It’s pretty simple:
Pack your clothes, shoes, bags and more-basically any fabric item.
Snap a photo of your bag of unwanted fabric items in front of the collection box at any of these drop-off locations.
Drop your items into the collection box. You’ll also want to note down the collection box number (SG0XXX) on the front of the box.
Fill in this form to get your cashback! You can only redeem this once a month, and the cashback expires in one month.
For this initiative, Zalora is partnering with Life Line Clothing, a Malaysia-based zero waste textile collector. They’ll sort the donated items and resell the apparel in good condition while refurbishing, upcycling, recycling, or even reprocessing the poorer condition items into fuels.

2. Let’s Meditate Singapore (Sundays)
Meditating is hard. Anyone who’s tried it can attest to the surprising difficulty of being present. That’s why sometimes we need a little help from seasoned meditators with years of experience.
With Let’s Meditate Singapore, start every Sunday morning off on the right foot with a free guided ‘Sahaja Yoga’ online meditation class. Sahaja Yoga is a gentle, beginner-friendly technique that’s always free.
In these weekly sessions, let experienced volunteers guide you through a 9-step “self-realisation” guided meditation to get you started followed by a 3-step “balancing” guided meditation to stay in the present and distance yourself from unnecessary or unproductive worries and concerns about the past and future.
Sessions are conducted online every Sunday at 9.45am using the same Zoom link.

3. Puma Run Club (Saturdays)
Whether you’re a seasoned runner or just getting started, the Puma Run Club is a great community to help you meet your running goals.
Remember how in 2.4km runs in school, you’d pick a fit person ahead of you to try to keep up with? Well for this run sesh, there’ll be pacers from Singapore Runners Club who’ll run alongside you at 7min/km, 6min/km, and 5.30min/km or less.
After you’re done, the pacers will also lead you in a cool down to end off the session. So really all you need to do is to show up for yourself and give it your best shot!
Puma Run Club
- Date and time: Saturdays, 7 – 10pm
- Venue: Esplanade Park
- Address: Raffles Avenue, Esplanade Mall, Singapore Singapore, 039802
4. New Balance Run Club (Tuesdays)
If you need an extra push to hit your fitness goals, Singapore’s New Balance Run Club (NBRC) may be the community you’ve been looking for.
NBRC meets every Tuesday evening at Suntec City’s New Balance outlet to work out together. They run (of course), do some HIIT (a classic!), and even do Fartlek-that’s Swedish for “speed play”. As the name suggests, it involves switching between fast and slow running to boost metabolism.
New Balance Run Club
- Dates and times: Tuesdays, 7 – 10pm
- Venue: New Balance (Suntec City #01-325), 3 Temasek Blvd, Singapore 038983
