One walk around your neighbourhood and you’ll know National Day is coming up: There’s a splendid sea of red & white flags hung on the windowsills and gates of different houses.
It’s the 2nd year we’ll be celebrating Singapore’s birthday in a pandemic, but it doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy our nation’s special day! The spirit of National Day doesn’t only happen in big crowds or during a parade. Why not spend National Day in an intimate celebration with the people who mean the most to you? Here are some exciting ways you can spend the day out (or in) with the people you love.

A Day Out In The Sun
Other than being a great form of exercise, picking up cycling is also a great way to explore. For nature lovers & city dwellers alike, there are different routes for you to explore the beauty (and hidden, off-the-beaten-track spots) of Singapore!
Spend National Day out with the family (in safe groups, of course!) on an exploration cycling route all around our tiny island. Whether you’re exploring the beaches of Singapore at East Coast Park, going for a relaxing cycle through our reservoirs, or making your way into the city and through the urban jungle, cycling is always a great way to bond and keep fit with the family.
Get started on your journey with Pedal Werkz! They offer a vast collection of bicycles to fit all your needs regardless of your lifestyle. From city bikes, road bikes, and even foldable MRT-friendly bikes, there’s something for everyone in the family. Get your first bike from Pedal Werkz and make only ⅓ of your payment today when you choose to checkout with hoolah. 3 easy, interest-free installments later and you’re all set for your journey all around Singapore!
Support Local Talent Through Film
Catch a screening of a locally-made film during the National Day holiday to show your support for our local arts! On our radar for the month is Malam, a film set in Singapore about the tribulations of crime, corruption, and power struggle. Helmed by local filmmaker Leonard Yip, this is his first feature film paying tribute to the genre of Noir.
Enjoy this cinematic experience in a theater that will send you back to the past with old-school seats and ticketing with The Projector’s theaters. Don’t worry if Malam isn’t something you’d typically watch, because The Projector is known for bringing in a wide range of films with different genres. Take a look at their website to find a film you & your date would truly love.
Tranquil Celebration At Home
Let’s face it, nothing beats a lazy weekend spent napping your day away at home. If you’re looking to tone down on the festivities of National Day, and opting for a relaxing day spent indoors instead, why not support a local business and create intimate, cherishable moments with their ethically made spa essentials?
The Bathtender makes artisanal bath and body products for the ultimate pampering session. They are 100% handmade in Singapore, and also paraben & cruelty-free! Level up your next at-home luxurious spa session and choose hoolah as your payment method.
Take pride in local businesses and support them with hoolah! Home is where the heart is at, #homewithhhoolah.
