Expats in Singapore

Has it been just you and your phone lately? It’s easy to feel connected yet still feel alone. Digital interactions can’t replace the warmth of eye contact, real laughter, and meaningful conversations. True connection happens when we step away from our screens and show up as ourselves — present, open, and engaged. At Fast Friending, we create spaces where real relationships begin — just genuine conversations and shared moments. Because nothing compares to meeting face-to-face, discovering common ground, and walking away with a connection that truly feels real. 🎟 Tickets (cash only; collected at the start at your host Shelly): Ladies – FREE Gents – 20 SGD ✨ What Makes This Event Special? \- FREE entry for ladies \(RSVP required\) \- Guided social experience to help you meet people comfortably \- Fun icebreakers to make conversations even easier \- Fast\-friending rounds so you can connect with multiple attendees \- A reserved space just for our group \-\-\- 🕖 Evening Flow 8:00 PM – Arrival & Welcome Settle into our reserved area, grab a drink, and let Shelly introduce you to a few friendly faces. 8:30 PM to 9:30 PM – Fast Friending \- Meet a new person every 3\-6 minutes\. \- Shelly will guide each switch so you can connect with many lovely attendees in a short amount of time\.

Most people in Singapore haven’t tried beach tennis yet — and honestly, that’s part of the appeal. It’s fast-paced like tennis, social like volleyball, and played barefoot on sand. You don’t need prior experience, and the learning curve is surprisingly quick. Beach tennis is big in Brazil, and it’s now starting to pick up in Singapore. Sessions are run by Pacific Beach Tennis Academy, which is Singapore's first dedicated beach tennis academy. If you’re looking to: – try a new sport without pressure – meet people in a more relaxed setting – or just switch things up from your usual workouts this might be worth checking out. Sessions are beginner-friendly, and all equipment is provided. If you’re keen or have any questions, feel free to message Luke at 8950 0295.

We will be walking at an easy pace that's suitable for everyone. Come by, bring your friends and lets get our steps in! We will also be having a late night snack after the walk, do join us! 😄

Hello everyone! Place to Meet: Paya Lebar MRT Passenger Service Control Centre (East West Line) Time: 5pm 1\. Dinner at Paya Lebar MRT 2\. Walk along Tanjong Katong/East Coast/New Upper Changi Rd/Chai Chee before ending at Bedok North The route may be modified during the walk to better suit the group’s pace and fitness levels. The organizers will make adjustments as needed to ensure the walk remains enjoyable and manageable for all participants. Do drop me a message via whatsapp or via meetup if you will be late. You may consider the following: 1\. Comfortable Clothing • Moisture-wicking fabrics: Avoid cotton, as it traps moisture and causes chafing. Instead, choose clothing made from materials like polyester, nylon, or merino wool, which keep you dry.
 • Comfortable socks: Opt for moisture-wicking socks with cushioning to reduce the risk of blisters. 2\. Proper Footwear
 • Well-fitting shoes: Ensure your shoes are properly broken in and provide enough support, especially if you're walking long distances. Sturdy hiking or walking shoes with good arch support are ideal.
 • Blister prevention: Consider blister-resistant socks or pack blister pads to address any discomfort before it becomes a problem. 3\. Hydration
 • Water bottle: Stay hydrated throughout the walk to maintain energy levels and prevent dehydration. 4\. Snacks
 • Energy bars or trail mix: Portable, nutrient-packed snacks high in carbohydrates and protein—perfect for refueling during breaks.
 • Nuts or dried fruit: Easy to carry and great for providing long-lasting energy. 5\. Umbrella
• Umbrella: Bring one in case of rain to stay dry and comfortable\. 6\. Optional Gear
 • Tissues or wet wipes: Handy for personal hygiene or cleaning your hands after eating or drinking. 7\. Small Backpack or Waist Pack
