7 activities to do with 7 other friends during Phase 3

It’s been 3 weeks since we began Phase 3. We can now mingle in groups of eight and no longer have to be stuck in long queues waiting to dine in since food establishments can occupy more customers now. Yay!


But besides the regular dinner with friends and loved ones, here are 7 things which you can do with 7 other friends (or less, if you’re like me with just... 4 friends in your social circle).


It’s time to unleash your best moves in 4 different zones at the world’s first Nerf arena at Marina Square!


If you’re looking for a team bonding session with your workmates, Nerf Action Xperience would be perfect as the different zones would require you and your teammates to work together to complete a challenge or even fight zombies!


Psst… this is also an opportunity for you to shoot your bosses! 😜 


You can even use up your SingapoRediscover vouchers for this Nerf Action Xperience!


Spanning across four storeys, Adventure HQ @ HomeTeamNS Khatib features 10 kaleidoscopic adventure installations for you thrill seekers out there!



You can find 24 interactive climbing elements, a Ninja course which helps to improve your strength, endurance, coordination and agility, and even a fireman’s slide at a record high of 14 metres high! What’s more, you can also explore a man-made cave which is 165 metres long at Fossil Labyrinth. 


You wouldn’t want to give this adrenaline-rushing indoor playground a miss, so remember to bring your flatmates along for some fun!


If high-elements and the great outdoors are your thing, then buckle up and get ready for your next expedition at Forest Adventure!


Get ready for a fun-filled experience that will last for as long as 2.5 hours on the treetops, spanning across 44 adrenaline pumping obstacles, including 3 giant zip lines across the waters of Bedok Reservoir!


In this course, you’ll be equipped with a harness and have to go through a 20 minutes safety briefing. After that, you are free to swing as you like! 🧗‍♀️


Similar to Forest Adventure, Mega Adventure is also for adrenaline junkies. There are 3 different courses for you to choose from, namely MegaClimb, MegaZip and MegaBounce.


Get ready for a total of 36 obstacles on 3 levels in Singapore’s premier treetop adventure course. End it with a bang by completing a zipline which is 450 metres long from the top if Imbiah Hill, all the way to the Siloso beach below.


And yes, you can spend your SingapoRediscover vouchers here!


Love soaking up in the water? Why not dive down to Sentosa for Hydrodash? 💦


Challenge your flatmates and friends in Singapore’s very first floating aqua park! You’ll have lots of fun leaping, jumping, sliding, climbing and bouncing its inflatable playground. 


This attraction is also eligible for SingapoRediscover vouchers!


If you’re afraid of high-elements and not really an outdoor person, don’t worry, we do have some activities for you too.


With a total of 9 different intriguing levels to challenge your mental and physical strengths, Amazing Castle is an interactive game centre that allows friends to bond together over fun games!


Each of the 9 levels will require different intellectual and physical intensity to complete, so both brains and brawn are equally important in this game!


Head down to Bugis+ to experience this fun-filled adventure.


If you feel like breaking out from your organised everyday life, Splat Paint House is where you want to be.


A space dedicated to mess, to expression and to play, you are free to express any way you like thorough splat painting!


All you have to do is grab a canvas, some paint and get as messy as you want! There are no rules, just create!


So go ahead, let loose and have some fun!


We hope that you’ll have more fun now that we’ve entered Phase 3, but do remember to have all the fun responsibly during this time. Maintain social distancing, remove your mask only when you’re eating, drinking or doing strenuous activities and sanitise your hands regularly!

What’s so great about Geylang and Joo Chiat?

When one thinks of Geylang and Joo Chiat, I’m pretty sure ‘frog porridge’ is the first thing that one can think of! But what more can this heritage-rich area offer besides this exotic delicacy?


You’ll be surprised at what you’ll find here!

If you love antiques and wish to know more about the Peranakan Nyonya kueh or beadwork & embroidery, book a visit to The Intan, located at 69 Joo Chiat Terrace. You can also use up your SingapoRediscover vouchers!


Another culture that’s synonymous with Geylang and Joo Chiat is the Malay culture. At Geylang Serai Market, not only can you get fresh produce at the wet market on the first floor, but you can also find a variety of traditional Malay food at the hawker centre located on the upper floor.


From Nasi Rawon, Lontong to Mee Soto, all your favourite Malay cuisines can be found there. You can also shop for traditional Malay outfit at the stalls located beside the hawker centre, located minutes away from Paya Lebar MRT station.


What’s interesting is that the architecture of this market looks like a typical ‘kampong’, a traditional Malay village.


If you need a weekly dose of retail therapy, this area is the place you should live in. Once you exit Paya Lebar MRT station, you’ll be greeted with not one, not two, but three shopping centres! Namely PLQ Mall, Paya Lebar Square and Singpost Centre.


And if you walk a little bit further, you’ll see KINEX, City Plaza, Tanjong Katong Complex and Joo Chiat Complex. A total of SEVEN malls for you to choose from!


No more “where to eat at Joo Chiat” or “what to do at Geylang” because you have so many choices!


A trip to Geylang isn’t complete without durians! Along the stretch of Geylang Road and Sims Avenue, you’ll find plenty of stalls selling this aromatic king of fruit loathed by many!


Just take your pick and the friendly durian seller will serve you these custardy sweet treats. 


Don’t be surprised if you chance upon a door which says ‘Cove’ while you’re durian hunting! That’s actually Cove’s flagship co-living building!


Located at 460A Geylang Road, it has 4 studios and 7 ensuite rooms! You can check out more available rooms around the area such as Tre Residence and The Alcove on our website.


We hope you get to visit these places the next time you head down to Geylang or Joo Chiat. Remember to take lots of photos and tag us at #CoveySG!

Time to get working on that 2021 resolutions!

7 nature spots to kick off the new year

More than just a concrete jungle, careful preservation of the island’s rich ecology has left patches of nature untouched in Singapore. Perfect for a morning walk or weekend hike, here are our top 7 nature spots in Singapore.

Kranji Marshes are a stretch of wetland filled with cattails and home to species of woodpeckers, monitor lizards and sea eagles. The Raptor Tower gives visitors a bird-eye view of the marsh, and a floating boardwalk lets you explore deep into the wetlands without stepping into the water.


Unique to Singapore, the mangrove wetland is traversable only by a boardwalk, helmed by the interlocking roots of mangrove trees. Found where freshwater rivers meet the sea, aquatic life, including the occasional alligator, are in plentiful supply.


Found over the ‘’green lungs of Singapore”, our central nature reserves, the Macritchie Trail is a great trekking spot to enjoy both flora and fauna.


At the end of your trail, you can stay to experience a rare quiet in Singapore in a wild, overgrown reserve popular among cyclists and joggers. Wild monkeys have made the reservoir their home and are unafraid of visitors, using their wits to steal food from unsuspecting families.



Singapore’s favourite beach, this coastal park has a trail perfect for biking, jogging or skating, with rental shops available along the seafront. Campsites, bbq pits, playgrounds, volleyball pits and other areas designed for outdoor activities make this a perfect place to spend the weekend.


Largely untouched by development, the island is one of the last rough-around-the-edges pieces of land left in Singapore. Patches of it remain unexplored, and you’ll find secret beaches, abandoned playground and dilapidated villas surrounded by beautiful wetlands.


Now an abandoned quarry, Bukit Batok Nature Park has distinctive rock formations that are natural works of art in their own right. The site of major battles during World War 2, memorials and plaques throughout the park are dedicated to those who fell in the war.



Singapore doesn’t have mountains, but we do have a single hill — Bukit Timah . A favourite among hikers, the reserve is home to one of the most abundant ecosystems of flora and fauna left in Singapore.


Before you head off on your adventure, ensure that you're all geared up for the occasion!  Use this easy to-bring list as a guide:


We hope that you'll visit these places to sweat it out! And when you do, don't forget to tag us in your Instagram photos with the hashtag #CoveySG!

Cove homes come fully equipped with kitchenware, sofa, table lamp, study desk, you name it! But what about those little home decoration that you really desire? 


These are our favourite shops for all the knick-knacks, rugs and pillows your heart desires—whether you need an anime-inspired shelf divider, a minimalist teacup set or plush teddy bear to add to your lovely new home.  🏠

And why not get a little something for your flatmate whole you're at it?


Take that jar of change with you and go on a shopping spree at Daiso, our guilty pleasure for any and every random thing a person could possibly own.

If there’s something you desperately need but can’t find anywhere else, Miniso has it. Stocking neck-cushions in every imaginable shape and size, magnetic clips for your phone, and reusable cups for any type of liquid (great for partying in the common dining area with friends and flatmates!), Miniso has everything you need to make your life just a tiny bit more convenient. 


We also recommend checking out their accessories section for cute caps and bags.


For high-quality and classic items, Muji is the shop of choice for the budding minimalist. 


The theme of simplicity and utility runs throughout the philosophy of the brand, and it’s reflected in the incredible detail paid to the production of every single item. Whether it’s the softest towels you’ll ever have the fortune of touching, or kitchenware that can last a decade, Muji will serve up the best products you can find anywhere!


So, where's your favourite place to get home decor?

These tips will help you adapt to Singapore smoothly.

What changes can you experience when living abroad in Singapore?

Moving abroad and starting over in an entirely new environment is definitely a terrifying yet exhilarating adventure. Literally everything changes! No, we are not talking about the different coffee taste or the type of shampoo used. 


Zach Braff: “The best way to travel abroad is to live with the locals.”

You now get to be part of two worlds, your comfort world where you can melt into oblivion, and the exhilarating world where you get to see what is on the other side of the grass patch. 


Maybe you are even looking at community living or you don’t even know what is co-living in Singapore like, that will be another story for another day.


You get to adopt a completely new lifestyle and learn how it’s like to live in a tropical country. Being bombarded with cultural diversity, different food, different lingos... how then to blend in? 


Well, like what Zach Braff said, the best way to travel abroad is to live with the locals, and to do so, you need to know what could be the physical changes to your body when you move from one climate to another.


Apparently, one of the more obvious changes would be your hair! Ladies, if you are starting to notice a change in texture in your hair, or your hair is frizzing and you are freaking out because you have no idea why, read on! 


One of the main factors affecting your hair is humidity. With Singapore’s incredibly high humidity, it is almost like a nuclear reaction when your hair meets the air. 😞


Alright, maybe not too extreme but you get the gist of it! Humidity influences the look of your hair as your hair is held together by hydrogen bonds which are weak against water. 


I won't bore you with the scientific details but essentially, the moisture in the air triggers curls and frizz. While there are definitely a number of shampoo conditioners and oil serums to help tame the beast, most of the time it requires patience as your hair has to get used to the humidity in the air. 


You can look out for shampoos or conditioners with a pH of 5.5. A gentle pH balanced shampoo helps to rebalance damaged hair and boost hydration which is the key to getting thick, long and beautiful hair. 


Another significant change would be your skin condition. While Singapore’s tropical weather 🌞 is an open invitation to go sunbathing or enjoy a dip in the pool/beach!

But... it probably isn’t a very good idea. Here’s why:


As mentioned above, high humidity means that there is a lot of moisture in the air and this can cause the pores of the skin to open up, making them defenseless against dirt, oil and allergens. Too much humidity can cause issues like acne, skin breakouts and even allergic reactions. 


You would probably be reminded of your pre-puberty stage. The good news? You are reminded of your pre-puberty stage, where your only worry was how to pass this exam. 


The bad news? This is a condition called, ‘tropical acne’ thanks to our bright and lovely Sun. But to battle this enemy, stay indoors in your short term apartment rental. With Cove, you get to stay indoors and turn on the A/C, just remember the utility cap of $75! 


If you have absolutely no choice but to step out and face the enemy, always bring cooling wet wipes to keep your face clean as you sweat! Don't forget the brolly and sunscreen too!


For those blessed with amazing skin no matter the weather conditions? You're so lucky!

Clubs and pubs are still closed, but booze is always available!

Secret hideouts for your drinking pleasure


Due to Covid-19, your nightlife may be getting a little mundane (mine definitely is!). Instead of enjoying your Thursday night hitting the dance floor at your favourite clubs or pubs, you’re stuck at home all alone while binging the latest Netflix show.

And yes, these two places are at one single location, inside the iconic heritage building on Keong Saik Road! They also serve vegetarian-friendly cuisine, such as burgers made from Impossible meat, so no one will be left out!

Address: 36 Keong Saik Rd, Singapore 089143


Planning to stay sober? Wanderlost Lounge is your refuge then!

Address:  Realty Centre, 15 Enggor Street, #12-01, Singapore 079716

The best places to do your weekly marketing 🛒

A comprehensive guide to grocery markets in Singapore

Now that you have finally settled your accommodation, it is time to stock up your fridge with food!


There are plenty of supermarkets located all over this tiny little red dot. Furthermore, Cove’s co-living spaces are always close to amenities so there’s bound to be a grocery store nearby like these.  


NTUC FairPrice: The classic with unexpectedly good stuff at affordable prices 


With more than 120 outlets, NTUC FairPrice offers great deals and a wide range of Western, Asian and local brands. Everything you need is available here — fruits, vegetables, organic produce, meat, poultry and even fresh sushi! 


The larger FairPrice Finest branches offer a wide choice of organic produce and groceries. However, it will cost you a little bit more.  But if you're into organic food, forking out a little extra shouldn't be an issue! 😜


If you are feeling slightly homesick and in need of familiarity, head down to Cold Storage! Look out for that jar of vegemite or gourmet cheese in Cold Storage! 🧀


Cold Storage is famous among Singapore’s expatriates for always having a little bit of home though we must warn you, the prices tend to be higher than other supermarkets! 


Cold Storage is the place to go if you want good quality air-flown vegetables or meat and a wider selection of international goodies. 


Need a bicycle? Need fresh vegetables? Choose Giant.


A bicycle in a grocery store? Yes, you read it right! 🚲


Giant is a one-stop centre for groceries, household goods, electronics and even clothes. Products are well-priced although they have a limited range of international merchandise. Giant is an excellent choice when you are looking to build your storage stock from scratch.

Finding the best telco for you

Great, you have now relocated to Singapore where you will be spending the next chapter of your lives. 


You have got all the working documents and are drowned by paperwork. All’s settled…right? 


What about all those Instagram stories updates, YouTube and Netflix videos you need to catch up on while on the go? Not forgetting the latest song on Apple Music or the most trendy podcast on Spotify?


What you need now is a good local phone plan with data!


There are tons of local telco, but which is suitable? Good thing for you, we have done all the hard work and compiled a list of the top 3 best telco firms.


Before diving straight in for the telco, you need to understand what a 'SIM Only' plan entails.


Unless you are staying in Singapore for more than 2 years, I suggest going for telecommunication companies that offer ‘SIM Only’ plans. Most ‘SIM Only’ plans do not come with a contract, while phone plans come with a 2-year contract. 


This means that you can use your existing phone with a local SIM card without being tied to any other terms.


Cheapest SIM Only plans in Singapore under 50 bucks:

Circles.Life is a Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) based in Singapore. Since its inception in 2016, it is a flourishing telco in Singapore. It functions as a ‘digital telco’ which means that the only support channels available to its customers are live chats and emails.


It is also one of the most value for money SIM Only plans available. With a whooping fee of only $18 per month, you are entitled to 100 min talk time, 25 free SMS and a grand total of 20GB! You can go crazy on Netflix on your phone without having to worry about exceeding your data.

In March 2019, Singtel launched a new SIM Only campaign under GOMO, a sub-brand featuring loud colours and lovable mascot to target the younger, data-driven crowd. 


Like Circles.Life and MyRepublic, Singtel’s plan cost very low from $25 per month for 20GB. The perks? It has 150 mins of talk time and 500 SMS compared to both Circles.Life and MyRepublic. There is however, a minimum 12-month term. So, for those who are in Singapore for less than a year, you might wanna look at the other options.
