Changi Village: museum, nasi lemak, beach
The war at Changi told through what internees kept, nasi lemak with the Ubin ferry crowd, then jets low over the sand. Make it a half-day, and not a Monday.

A 280-metre practice loop for wobbly cyclists, Singapore's tallest outdoor slide, then charcoal wings by the sea. Effort first, food last, and nobody minds damp hair.
Singapore's oldest church, a hill that tried being a royal seat, a garden and a fort, then the bunker where the generals gave up. All free, and the staircase photo is the least of it.
Four nights at the National Stadium, 17 to 22 December. Buy only through Ticketmaster or Klook, because resold tickets won't be honoured. Not going? Avoid Kallang after 10pm.
A full orchestra, four choirs and Act 2 of The Nutcracker at the Esplanade on 11 and 12 December. Best for children five and up who can stay up late; no toddlers. Book early.
Three days in early December, finishing inside the National Stadium. Entries closed in September, so for most of us it's a dawn spectator sport: Marina Bay, a kopi and free early MRT.
Every work under S$15,000 and the price usually on the wall: the least awkward way to buy real art. F1 Pit Building, 26 to 29 November; Friday evening is our pick.
Axl, Slash and Duff at the National Stadium for one night, Wednesday 25 November. Buy through Ticketmaster only, leave the under-sixes at home and book Thursday morning off.
Film music, a full orchestra and four short showings at Victoria Concert Hall on 14 and 15 November, pitched at five-and-ups. Pick 11am, before the post-lunch slump.
Four Chinese kitchens, Goodwood Park to Sentosa, run hairy crab menus this autumn. Small crabs, mostly shell, sets mostly for two: go for the roe, book and confirm dates.
Wild Rice's holiday panto returns after a decade: songs, wushu and magic at Funan, 12 November to 27 December. Book a weekend matinee early; at about 150 minutes, evenings are long for small children.
The last chapter of SAM's project on forgotten and erased stories, from 27 November: oral histories and memory, not spectacle. Free for citizens and PRs; save it for a slow December afternoon.
