4. Play with some claw machines
Play United, a local arcade, opened Southeast Asia’s largest claw machine arcade at Tampines 1 in May.
With almost 328 varieties of claw machines, you have many different options to try and catch your favorite plushies or merchandise. You can also try your luck and challenge the Guinness Book of Records on Singapore’s first multi-online basketball machine.

5. Take a GoTaxi ride
Tired of waiting too long when flagging for a cab?
You’re in luck because ride-hailing app Gojek recently launched a new service, GoTaxi, in May which allows you to book taxis directly through the Gojek mobile application.
The app matches commuters to taxi drivers only and promises commuters greater ride availability, more ride choices and improved waiting times. GoTaxi rides will be charged a metered fare, with an estimated fare range shown to commuters.
