WHAT'S NEW

We are giving away 10 free tickets to the brand new JustLogOff Comedy Club. And no, we're not havin' a laugh!

The first 5 people to e-mail events@expatlivingsingapore.com will win a pair of tickets!

EXPAT LIVING presents - JustLogOff Comedy Club
The laughs return as three of the very best comedians working in Pete Jonas, Doc Brown and Martin Bigpig bring the funny at the Pavilion.

Your MC for the night Pete Jonas, sold out his Edinburgh show, where they know comedy, and has been described as ‘brilliant’ by The Scotsman.

From working with De La Soul, Doc Brown brings his lyrical wordplay to Singapore. See him now before his MTV show starts later this year and smugly demonstrate your hipness to your friends.

City Life says that Martin Bigpig should carry a government health warning, and who are we to argue? A man described as ‘least likely to get heckled’ and ‘deadly eejitness’ needs no introduction. See him and thank us later.

Beer by the Bull and Bear and burgers by BERGS Gourmet Burgers. What more do you want?

Dates: 25-37 February
Venue: The Pavilion Far East Square
Time: 8pm (Doors open at 7pm)
Tickets: www.sistic.com.sg or 6348 5555. Group/corporate bookings, call Kerry  9839 2642.

Rochester Park's newest member does Asian-European contemporary cuisine

New addition to the Singapore dining scene, Krish, will be serving up South Asia influenced European cuisine from 13 February 2010.

Dishes include a breakfast chapatti wrap, where the traditional  Indian bread is  filled with bacon, roasted potato, white cheddar, caramelised onions, eggs and pepper; a roti john sandwich with beef short rib and a spice-rubbed filet mignon with parmesan fries.

And because brunch wouldn't be brunch without something cold and alcoholic, get your lips around some of their chic cocktails, which includes Tweeks (a prosecco, strawberries and ginger blend), Red Grass (Absolut Raspberry, fresh raspberries, lemongrass and lemon juice) and Red Buffalo (Absolut Pepper vodka, wasabi and tomato juice).

For those with families, there's a kids menu and if your youngsters are under eight, they dine for free at brunch.

Caring For Cambodia needs volunteers to transport school supplies from Singapore to Cambodia. Can you help?

Are you planning a trip to Siem Reap, Cambodia this year? Do you know someone who is?
Caring for Cambodia needs volunteers to help tansport school supplies from Singapore to Cambodia. 

The most cost-effective way for the organisation to transport donated goods from their storage facility in Singapore to the Caring for Cambodia schools in Siem reap is for travellers to carry them in their personal luggage. Even if you're not visiting one of the schools you can still help by delivering the supplies to one of the CFC hotel or school partners in Siem Reap.
