For fans of pokemon, this news will certainly perk up your day. The Pokemon Centre Singapore have announced that they will officially open at Jewel Changi Airport on 17 April, and the centre will be open from 10am to 10pm.

This will be the first Pokemon Centre in Asia that is outside of Japan. However, no further details were revealed, including what to expect to be in the store. The opening of the Centre coincides with the official opening of Jewel Changi Airport itself. It is reported that more than 280 retailers are ready for business at Singapore's newest mega mall. 

It's one thing to get lucky but another thing to get lucky and share it with other people. A man named Javier Goh is kind enough to share some arcade tickets with fellow Singaporeans after striking it lucky. 

He won the tickets after spending just $50 at Cow Play Cow Moo. 

"Winning these tickets brought me happiness but since I do not have anything in mind to exchange for it so I am passing it down and hopefully it could bring some happiness and smile to somebody instead."

He will be choosing one lucky winner for the giveaway. All they need to do is to like his Facebook page, share the post and tag a friend in it. The winner will be announced on 31 Mar 2019. 

Any takers?

Those who loves Chili's have been taken by surprise right now, as Chili's had announced that they have closed all of their outlets in Singapore permanently on 24th March. The sudden announcement was posted on their Facebook page on the same day they closed.

The closure was so sudden that they even had promotions ongoing for the school holidays just last week. Chili's was first established in Dallas back in 1975, and made their official appearance in Singapore in 2009. They had four outlets, in Tanglin Mall, Resorts World Sentosa, Clarke Quay and JCube.

No reason was given for their sudden closure. RIP, Chili's

Singaporeans lately have been enveloped in a salted egg craze. From salted egg chips, to salted egg bubble tea, even a salted egg fish skin junk food. heck, even McDonald's jumped on the bandwagon by introducing salted eggs loaded fries.

But one thing McDonald's have not done in Singapore is to introduce the salted egg sauce for its McNuggets. Which it had done in Malaysia, which will hit stores in Malaysia today. It is part of their Salted Eff Yolk Invasion promotion. Salted egg is going big in Malaysia!

McDonald's Singapore have not announced any salted egg sauce to be sold in stores here. We believe if it ever happens, it will overtake the good old curry sauce as the favourite sauce of Singaporeans

Have you ever went on a graduation trip with friends? Did you have fun? A girl named Audrey Chong shared her experience with Youth.sg. The story was posted on their Facebook page. You can read the full post below:

“I thought planning a holiday with my friends would be all rainbows and sparkles, but the execution was a lot tougher than I expected.

I faced all sorts of problems, from convincing worried parents and gathering enough money to finding friends who will not bail out before the trip. Even on the holiday, things like Google Maps messing up and us having to share one portable Wi-Fi router while on separate routes only led to more arguments.

But the most challenging thing for a non-early riser like me was being on-time. In a country like Japan, where a bus that comes at 5.01pm is gone by 5.02pm, being just a minute late would require us to change a whole day of plans.

So, if someone asks about going on a grad trip, I'd advise them against it. Because no staycation in Singapore will ever prepare you for a trip in a foreign country.”

- Audrey Chong, 19, Student

Many Netizens lambasted her for her story and we can see why. Her 'problems' include convincing parents and gathering enough money. While we agree that Google Maps messing up might be a problem, there are also places where you can purchase hardcopy maps. Also, don't you think that an argument between the friends over a Wi-Fi router just screams strawberry generation?

What took the cake was how she thought that a staycation in Singapore will prepare her for a trip in a foreign trip.

We can only imagine the amount of work that she put in to 'gather' the money for her trip. -Shudder-

A man has claimed that he fell into what he termed as quicksand while at Pasir Ris over the CNY holidays. The man, who said he was not a Chinese, decided the best way to spend the CNY holidays was bringing his family out for a picnic at Pasir Ris Beach.

The family reached the beach sometime after lunch, packing the usual picnic stuff like mat, frisbee, lunch boxes and mat, and were ready for a relaxing afternoon under the hot sun. It was at about that same time that the low tide set, and thus, the man decided to venture into the shore to hunt for seashells, hermit crabs and mussel shell. After about 10 minutes of exploring the shoreline, he came across a man was was waist deep in some black mud-like substance. Although that man was not sinking any further, it was quite obvious that he looked anxious. The man decided to help, but by stepping close the the man in trouble, he too found himself sinking, and finally fund himself knee deep in the mud like substance.

The two trapped men however, subsequently managed to crawl their way out of the predicament. While the man said that they were never in any danger, as the furthest they could have sunk was about waist deep, but in high tide, the water level might have submerged them, with no way they could have crawled out in time.
