WELLNESS
Nirvana Mind is holding another meditation session at Mindful Mondays at The Working Capitol.

You should have already signed up for the Balestier Heritage and Food Trail, where you'll get to learn about the area's historical sites and sample its good food.

There's a wine pairing event, When Spice Meets Grapes, at Punjab Grill. There are only twenty seats available, so call in to make a reservation.

It's not too late to catch a pop-up of The Glenfiddich Gallery, where you can view personalized whiskies and see which one matches your taste.

MUSIC
Singapore's only Beatles tribute band, The Day Trippers, will be playing at The Arts House's Barbershop. Fingers crossed that they'll play your favorite song from the Fab Four.

FILM
You can still catch a film screening of romance drama Carol at The Projector, in which a young woman meets the eponymously named protagonist, who is trapped in a marriage of convenience.

Wed, Dec 30

NETWORKING
It is Canvas' last Debrief of the year (a networking event held every last Wednesday of each month). Eugene Soh, a visual artist and programmer who had a TEDTalk, will be there.

PARTY
If you're not taking off on a long vacay, Cato is having a party called The Knock Off so you can blow off some steam. Catch DJs Shawn Livewire and Tyler Made.

It's New Year's Eve, and we've got your back. Apart from the yearly, huge-deal Marina Bay Countdown party, we've put together a list of 21 other parties for you to check out.

EAT
Gibson's having a Japanese-inspired nine-course New Year's Eve dinner, so call ahead to make a reservation. They will serve sea urchin and sakura prawns, to name a few.

NETWORKING
The last Women Inspiring Women event of the year is here. Go and meet your mentors before the year is out.

ART
Check out Chua Ek Kay's exhibition, After The Rain at the National Gallery. His work prominently features lotus ponds, rain and reflections, so you can zen out at this one. Wu Guanzhong's Beauty Beyond Form is still on, and his work combines both Eastern and Western painting techniques.

Fri, Jan 1

PARTIES
If you're still not too hungover from New Year's parties, then check out Reunion at Kyo, where Godwin P, EJ Missy, Haan, Zig Zach and more will play house and techno.

Zouk’s Lincey and Hong will be playing EDM and electro tracks at Soundsystem, so go if you're still in the mood to party.

ART
If you're not too hungover from last night, then kick off the year at a heady exhibition by heading down to OTA Fine Arts to check out works by artists Zai Kuning and Ay Tjoe Christine—the former deals with social concerns while the latter tackles her conflicting emotions.
