4 Ways to Show Your Studio Ghibli Love in S’pore for Under S$50

Studio Ghibli is founded in 1985 by directors Isao Takahata, Hayao Miyazaki, and producer Toshio Suzuki. It is an iconic Japanese animation studio. Known for its beautifully crafted, critically acclaimed films, Studio Ghibli has captured the hearts of audiences worldwide and earned numerous awards.

Here, the Ghibli fanbase is thriving. Social media is filled with fans watching the movies or attending the current ArtScience Museum exhibition. If you’re looking to show your love for the Ghibli, here are four ways to do just that – all for under S$50!

#1: WATCH STUDIO GHIBLI FILMS (AGAIN AND AGAIN)

Did you know Netflix offers 22 Studio Ghibli films for streaming worldwide? I recently watched The Boy and the Heron on Netflix, an Oscar and Golden Globe-winning masterpiece that’s as adventurous and magical as you’d expect. Set in wartime Japan, it follows Mahito, a young boy grieving the loss of his mother. His life takes a mysterious turn when he moves to the countryside and encounters a world where life and death blur, guided by a talking heron and a host of other quirky characters.

Some of my other Ghibli favorites on Netflix include Whisper of the Heart, Howl’s Moving Castle, and Kiki’s Delivery Service. You’ll never tire of re-watching these timeless classics!

#2: STEP INTO THE WORLD OF STUDIO GHIBLI

The ArtScience Museum is hosting “The World of Studio Ghibli” exhibition from Oct. 4, 2024, to Feb. 2, 2025. This exhibition, Studio Ghibli’s first in Singapore, spans 2,400 square meters across 11 galleries and immerses you in the magic of 11 iconic films, including My Neighbor Totoro, Kiki’s Delivery Service, Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, and Howl’s Moving Castle.

Be enchanted by a giant sculpture of Ponyo floating in the museum’s lily pond. Then, explore immersive installations and original sculptures across the basement and level three galleries. There’s also a range of interactive activities like drawing soot sprites from Spirited Away, writing gratitude notes inspired by Totoro, and making a thaumatrope with characters from My Neighbor Totoro.

Before you leave, don’t forget to visit the exclusive merchandise shop. From a Singapore-only Peranakan-inspired skirt to various Studio Ghibli souvenirs, there’s plenty to choose from (though some items may be a bit pricey).

Ticket prices start at S$23.80 for Sands Lifestyle members and range up to S$49 for non-local adult tickets on peak days. Personally, my sister and I can’t wait to experience this exhibition.

#3: SNAG INEXPENSIVE GHIBLI-INSPIRED KEYCHAINS AND CHARMS

For a budget-friendly dose of Studio Ghibli in your everyday life, check out Ghibli-inspired bag charms and keychains on Lazada or Shopee. You can find adorable metal keychains featuring Spirited Away’s No Face or other characters for as little as S$1.55.

Want something cuter? Look for coquette bead keychains, starting at just S$6. They’re perfect for decorating your bags or phones!

#4. CATCH THE PERFORMANCE OF “NO FACE” AT PAYA LEBAR SQUARE 

Did you know you can enjoy a live performance from Spirited Away’s No Face right here in Singapore? A local busker named Fatt Kew, also known as the “One Boy Band”, has been spotted performing as No Face outside Paya Lebar Square. Kew plays multiple instruments, including a Ztar MIDI guitar, which lets him recreate iconic Ghibli melodies with soft-synth sounds.

Check out his performances where he often invites passersby to try out his instruments, adding a fun, interactive twist to his busking shows.

With these four simple (and affordable!) ways, you can immerse yourself in the magical world of Studio Ghibli right here in Singapore.

6 Wallet-Friendly Weight Loss Tips That Actually Work

#1: PINPOINT THE ROOT OF WEIGHT GAIN

Weight gain can sometimes be linked to underlying health issues such as PCOS and Hypothyroidism. If you suspect this might be the case for you, it is wise to consult a doctor before starting any weight loss plan.

A medical professional can help identify potential health concerns, while a dietitian can craft a personalized meal plan tailored to your needs and lifestyle.

#2: CREATE A BALANCED PLATE

Aim for well-rounded meals that include protein, healthy fats, vegetables, and complex carbohydrates. Protein is important as it helps maintain muscle mass during weight loss and keeps you feeling fuller for longer, reducing the temptation to snack.

Calorie-dense healthy fats such as olive oil, avocados, nuts, and seeds can help when taken in moderation. You see, healthy fats contain about 9 calories per gram, compared to just 4 calories per gram for protein and carbohydrates. Thus, you have to be mindful of your intake of saturated and trans fats.

#3: BE ACTIVE

Combine cardiovascular exercises with strength training for optimal results. Cardio workouts such as walking, jogging, cycling, or running are excellent for enhancing overall health.

Take advantage of the Park Connector Network as exercising here is a fantastic way to immerse yourself in nature and stay active without spending a cent!

#4: SHOP WITH A FULL STOMACH

Shopping on an empty stomach can lead to impulse buys that derail your healthy eating goals. A seemingly irresistible S$6 chocolate bar or S$5 bag of chips can quickly find its way into your cart when you are hungry.

To combat this, consider having a glass of water or a healthy snack before heading to the grocery store.

#5: STAY HYDRATED

Adequate hydration is essential for your body to function efficiently and eliminate waste. Fortunately, water not only keeps us hydrated but also supports our weight loss efforts.

Sipping water before meals can help you eat less, while staying hydrated boosts the fat-burning process. So, opt for water or other low-calorie beverages when dining out.

#6: ENJOY YOGURT

Whether you prefer Greek yogurt or traditional yogurt, both can be good additions to your diet. In fact, a Harvard study tracking over 120,000 people for a decade found a strong correlation between yogurt consumption and weight loss. While this does not imply that yogurt directly causes weight loss, it certainly stood out among other foods in the study.

For as little as S$3, you can enrich your diet with Greek yogurt from many local supermarkets and enjoy the benefits it offers.

Add these budget-friendly tips into your routine to help manage your weight without straining your wallet. Remember that consistency is key! Therefore, combine exercise with a balanced diet and other weight loss interventions to ensure a holistic change.

Disclaimer: Always consult with a medical professional before starting any weight loss program, especially if you have underlying health conditions.

Punggol Coast MRT Station Opens December 10, Cutting Commute Times

Mark your calendars! The long-awaited Punggol Coast MRT station is set to open on December 10, 2024, at 3:00 pm. As the newest terminal on the North East Line (NEL), this extension from Punggol station will bring the total number of NEL stations to 17 along its 22-kilometer route.

Strategically located in the heart of Punggol Digital District (PDD), Punggol Coast station will significantly enhance connectivity for the area’s growing community.

“Located within the Punggol Digital District, the station will enhance connectivity to existing and upcoming developments, including the JTC Business Park, the Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) campus, and Punggol Coast Mall,” said Transport Minister Chee Hong Tat in a Facebook post last October 10.

With 28,000 employees in the JTC Business Park, 12,000 students at SIT, and the upcoming Punggol Coast Mall, the station is set to serve as a major transportation hub.

But what does this mean for commuters? Shorter travel times! Residents in Punggol North can now reach the city center in just 45 minutes via the NEL, a marked improvement from the previous 60-minute journey. In fact, over 200,000 households will benefit from being just a 10-minute walk away from an NEL station. Its close proximity to the bus interchange further enhances convenience for residents.

Construction for the station began in 2018, and after rigorous operational testing, it is ready for passengers. The station will feature two entrances including one along New Punggol Road and another within PDD. What’s more? It has more than 300 bicycle parking spaces to promote sustainable mobility.

From a financial perspective, the opening of Punggol Coast MRT station could drive property values up in the area, particularly with improved accessibility. For investors, now is a good time to consider properties or businesses in Punggol Digital District, as the enhanced transport links will attract more residents, students, and workers. With growing connectivity, retail and real estate investments in the vicinity may see healthy returns.
