5 Best Picnic Mats to Buy Singapore [2025 Guide]

Singapore may be known for its world-class restaurants and bars, but it also boasts some great spots for outdoor picnics. But no picnic is complete without the right gear, and the most important one is a picnic mat or blanket.

So in this article, we have listed and reviewed the best picnic mats in Singapore. Whether you’re just looking for a sheet for yourself and your partner or the whole family or group of friends, you’ll find plenty of variety. Of course, the more people in your picnic, the larger the mat or sheet you’d need.

Things to Consider When Buying a Picnic Mat
To help you make your decision quick and easy, here are some key points to keep in mind when buying a mat for outdoor picnics:

Material
The most important thing is the material of the mat. These mats or blankets are typically made of synthetic materials like polyester or polyurethane. However, some may be more durable than others.

Aside from the material, also pay attention to the thickness of the mat. Does it have some kind of padding or filling? If you want more comfort, you want it to be slightly padded to provide some support. This is all the more relevant for people with hip or lower back pain who may find sitting on the ground uncomfortable.

Water Resistance
It should be waterproof, or at least water-resistant, to ensure protection from wet ground or grass. This would ensure that you don’t feel uncomfortable while sitting on a damp surface. It also guarantees that the mat won’t get damaged by water or moisture.

Portability
The picnic sheet should be easy to fold and carry. Luckily, most of these mats are designed to fold seamlessly, with built-in carry handles. All you need to do is fold it, roll it, and use the straps to tie it and carry it. Ideally, it should take less space once folded all the way. This way, you can easily fit it in a backpack.

Size
As there are several size options for most picnic mats, you have to choose according to the number of people who will be lounging on the mat. A small mat, say 140 cm in length, may be sufficient for one or two people. However, for three people or more, you need a mat that’s at least 200 cm in length and 150 cm in width.

Now that you know what to look for when buying a picnic mat, here are our top picks for the 5 best picnic mats in Singapore [2025 review].

Maso Nordic-Style Picnic Mat

The Maso Nodric-Style Picnic Mat is an extra-large picnic and camping mat, measuring 150 x 200 cm. It can easily accommodate four to five people, along with all the picnic essentials like baskets, coolers, and snacks. It’s made from high-density propylene Oxford cloth. The exterior is PVC-coated to increase water resistance.

Designed to be portable, it rolls up easily and turns itself into a bag with carrying straps. Once folded, it measures 13 x 20 cm. In other words, it won’t take up much space in your backpack or car. All the edges are secure with woven taping to prevent damage or fraying. It’s easy to clean as you can simply wipe it with soapy water and a microfiber cloth.

It has a simple checkered design with narrow stripes. However, there are multiple colour options.

Quechua Camping and Picnic Mat

The mat\’s material is polyester, treated with a water-resistant coating. Therefore, you can even use it on damp surfaces, like grass, after rain. But that’s not all; it’s also abrasion-resistant and may last for years with proper care. With a quilted construction, the mat is thick and provides some insulation from the ground. In other words, sitting and lying for hours is comfortable.

The Role of Feng Shui in Interior Design in Singapore

The ancient Chinese practice of Feng Shui aims to harmonize individuals with their environment, and its principles have been widely applied to interior design to create a balanced and comfortable living space. The principles of Feng Shui are particularly useful in Singapore, where living spaces are often small and cramped. In this case, Feng Shui can help to create a sense of calm and relaxation.

The Role of Furniture Placement, Natural Elements, and Colors

The placement of furniture, objects, and decor is crucial in interior design based on Feng Shui, as energy flows through the environment. Clutter can obstruct the flow of chi, causing stagnant energy and negative vibes, so it is recommended to keep the space tidy and organized. Chi (also spelt qi) refers to the vital life force or energy that flows through all living things.

Natural elements such as water features, plants, and natural materials like wood and stone are often used in interior design to bring balance to a space. Incorporating plants and natural materials into the home can also help to bring a bit of nature indoors in Singapore where green spaces are limited.

Colors play a significant role in Feng Shui interior design. Different colors are believed to have different effects on energy flow, with red promoting passion and excitement and blue associated with calm and relaxation. It is essential to consider the energy flow and mood when choosing colors for each space.

Tips and Considerations

In Singapore, incorporating Feng Shui principles into modern homes can be challenging. However, with careful planning, it is possible. Tips for a modern Feng Shui design include using natural materials, plants, and water features, promoting flow, minimizing clutter, and choosing mood-enhancing colors. By embracing Feng Shui, you can create a beautiful and functional space that promotes overall well-being. When designing a new home or updating your current living space, it is important to consider these principles to create a peaceful and balanced environment.

Feng Shui is a way of life, and many of its rules are simply common sense. For example, sitting with a door behind you can feel uneasy as you don’t know who is going to open the door behind you. Similarly, sitting in front of the door can also feel uncomfortable. The same uneasiness applies to having your bed directly in front of the door.

To address this, it’s wiser to have a screen to create a nice transition from one space to another instead of having a door opening straight to a space nakedly and overlooking the window, forming a direct loss of energy. Another example of a Feng Shui rule is that a mirror facing a door can scare the soul. By incorporating these principles into your home design, you can create a more harmonious and peaceful space that promotes good energy flow and overall well-being.

If you are seeking to design your spaces with Feng Shui principles, look no further than AR-kee design studio. They excel in creating harmonious environments by seamlessly incorporating Feng Shui principles into their work.

5 Best Sunglasses to Buy in Singapore [2025 Guide]

If you live in Singapore, you already know the weather can be unpredictable. As a country with a tropical climate, there are days when it rains non-stop, and then there are days when the sun shines bright. And when it does, you want to be sporting some stylish sunglasses that also provide protection from ultraviolet (UV) rays.

Of course, there are many options out there, both affordable and luxury. But if you’re after some sunnies that provide reliable protection and will stand the test of time, you’ll need to do some research. This buying guide with the top 5 sunglasses in Singapore [2025 review] will save you time and effort to research.

While you can find many eyewear brands and designs in Singapore, we have chosen timeless sunglasses from well-known international and local brands. But before we get to the best sunglasses in Singapore, let’s cover what you should know.

Things to Consider When Buying Sunglasses

Here are the main factors to consider when looking for your next pair of sunglasses:

UV protection

Although sunglasses can accentuate your look as a fashion accessory, the main purpose of wearing them is to protect your eyes from UV rays. Look for sunglasses that offer 100 per cent (400 nm absorption) of UVA and UVB rays. UVA rays penetrate deeper and are more harmful.

UV protection is necessary for preventing eye damage. Overexposure of eyes to the sun can cause macular degeneration, among other vision problems.

Polarisation

Polarised sunglasses have a special chemical coating that filters and blocks light. More importantly, polarised lenses in sunglasses reduce glare, which is caused by the reflection of sunlight.

Polarised lenses offer 100 per cent UV and glare protection. Such sunglasses are typically more expensive than those with lenses embedded with UV protection.

Lens material and color/tint

Lenses in sunglasses are usually made of glass or plastic. The latter is more common because of its low cost and durability. Glass lenses are heavy and can scratch or shatter more easily.

Aside from the material, pay attention to the tint of the lens. The lens tint impacts light transmission, i.e., the amount of light that passes through the lens. Lens tint also impacts colour perception and contrast.

Grey tint offers neutral colour perception.
Green tint is also neutral with low light transmission (good for both sunny and low light conditions).
Brown or amber tints enhance color contrast (ideal for low light conditions).
Pink or rose tints block blue light while also increasing contrast.
Blue tint improves colour perception by improving contours of objects.

Frame material and shape

One of the most distinguishing factors in sunglasses is the frame’s shape. Rectangle and round frames are common, but there are many variations. Some are more elongated, while some are large. Even shapes like hexagons are popular.

The frame shape is a personal preference. That said, rectangular or square frames may offer more coverage.

Consider your face shape when choosing the frame style. Rectangular styles suit most faces, whereas round styles are better for angular faces.

Frames are typically made of metal or plastic (acetate or nylon). While metal frames are durable, they can be heavy. In comparison, plastic frames are quite lightweight.

Prescription or non-prescription

If you require prescription glasses to see clearly, you have to take that into consideration. Fortunately, many brands offer prescription lenses for sunglasses.

Otherwise, you’ll need to invest in a pair that you can comfortably wear over your prescription glasses.

Comfort and fit

Pay attention to parts like the nose bridge and temples of the sunglasses because these will determine how they fit. Poorly fitting sunglasses can cause discomfort. Check the dimensions, such as nose bridge and temple length, to understand how they will fit.

Now that you know how to buy sunglasses, here are our top picks:

5 Best Rice Cookers to Buy in Singapore [2025 Guide]

Rice is a common and a must in almost every Asian household. Singaporeans love to consume rice, and is a staple food that you will find in many of the meals. Cooking rice might seem like an easy task, but cooking perfectly is not always easy. Sometimes the rice might get burnt or stick to the pot. That is why there are rice cookers. Rice cookers make the routine of cooking rice efficient and perfect.

However, there are various types of rice cookers in the market. It isn’t obvious to pick the best one. There are rice cookers that have digital displays and even intelligent features now. Even with so many new features, choosing a rice cooker that cooks rice evenly and is not burnt or mushy is essential.

You are on the right page if you are looking for the perfect and innovative rice cooker.

WHAT ARE THE THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN BUYING A RICE COOKER?

Capacity

You should pick a rice cooker depending on how much it can cook at one time. The amount of rice you need depends on the size of your household. Purchasing a rice cooker that matches your needs on a daily basis will be beneficial. For example, if you are living alone, a small cooker will be perfect for you. You should also note that cooking 1 or 2 cups of rice in a 10-cup rice cooker can give you mixed results.

Features

The features of a rice cooker can vary depending on the model. Overall, there are standard and multipurpose cookers. The standard cooker only cooks rice. They have a one-touch operation feature and automatically move to the keep warm mode after the rice is cooked.

Multipurpose cookers have more features. They are more expensive compared to standard rice cookers. Multipurpose ones need less supervision. You can select the standard version if you just want to cook rice.

There are rice cookers coming with fuzzy logic or micom technology. Rice cookers come with an inbuilt logic and AI that makes the rice cooker cook the rice on its own without setting specific parameters.

How to Get a Singapore Visa From Dubai?

The tiny island nation of Singapore sits on the southern tip of the Malaysian Peninsula, and is an extravagant haven of modern, cultural, and natural experiences. To visit this beautiful country, getting a visa is an essential part of the travel planning process. This also applies to Dubai residents who want to travel to Singapore. However, your Singapore visa is significantly impacted by whether you are a UAE resident or citizen. The visa application process might seem difficult, but with the understanding of the basics and advanced planning, it can be made much simpler. Take the help of this guide on a Singapore visa from Dubai which will answer most of your doubts. So, let’s start right away!

Singapore Visa – An Overview

Before you start deciding on which activities in Singapore to add to your itinerary and make other travel arrangements for a holiday in this charming destination, you need to acquire a valid Singapore visa. For anyone travelling to Singapore, a visa has to be procured based on the citizenship of the traveller. A Singapore visa serves as a pre-approval for anyone visiting Singapore and intending to stay for a period of time. The visa holder is required to leave the country once the duration is over.

The type of Singapore visa depends on the purpose of the visitor for which he or she is arriving to stay in Singapore. For tourism purposes, a Social Visa is issued to the visitor. A Singapore visa is tagged as ‘pre-entry permission for the holder to seek entry into Singapore.’ A ‘Singapore visit pass’ issued at the point of entry determines the validity of your stay in the country, and it is separate from the validity of the Singapore visa. A Singapore visa can be a single-entry visa or a multiple-entry visa. The Singapore visa validity cannot be amended once it is issued.

How to Apply for a Singapore Visa from Dubai?

First and foremost, you need to find out if you need to apply for a Singapore visa. If you are a UAE citizen, you need not apply for a pre-approved Singapore visa. However, if you are a foreigner residing in the UAE and have a valid UAE visa or a residential ID, you must apply for a Singapore visa before you arrive in Singapore if your nationality falls under the visa-no-exempt category.

Secondly, you must check if your passport is valid for the next six months after you get entry into Singapore. Verifying that your passport is valid is a crucial step to getting a Singapore visa. Next, approach a competent Singapore visa consultant who will guide you to fill out your Singapore Visa application completely and accurately.

Documents Required for Singapore Visa

It is important to submit the correct documents along with the application form. Photocopies of the passport biodata page should be attached. Additionally, you must submit a recent passport-size photo that complies with the visa photo requirements and was taken against a white background.

A completely filled V39A form – Letter of Introduction should also be submitted for visa processing. This form must be completed and signed by a local contact in Singapore who is at least 21 years old, a citizen, or a permanent resident of the nation. Complete information about Singapore’s local contact should be included in this letter. Depending on the applicant’s nationality, a Letter of Invitation may be required.

You will also need to submit the following documents in addition to those listed above:

A recent salary certificate from the employer, no older than one month, detailing the applicant’s employment and salary information. If the applicant is self-employed or a business owner, the company’s letterhead should include information about the applicant’s position and the source of the funding.
Flight ticket details and accommodation details.
Any additional paperwork that may be required, including birth certificates and NOC letters for minors, and proof of vaccination if necessary, to name a few.

Visa Processing Time And Visa Fee

Usually, the processing time of Singapore Visa is around a week, excluding the non-working days and the day the visa application is submitted. There can be delays if additional documentation is requested. The visa application processing fee is SGD 30 per visa, which will be calculated using the current exchange rate at the time of submission. The visa agencies also charge a service fee of AED 65 for each visa. A visa fee once paid is non-refundable. If you feel getting a visa is overwhelming, Rayna Tours has an experienced team to cater to all your Singapore visa requirements and assist you right from the visa application to approval.

Points to Remember During a Singapore Visa Process

All the documents should be in English language and should be machine-readable.
To avoid unnecessary delays and hassles, make sure to apply for a visa 30 days before your Singapore trip.
Ensure that all forms are filled properly and completely and documents are attached in order. Double-checking your application and paperwork comes in really handy to avoid unnecessary visa rejections.
The Singapore visa is no longer stamped in your passport. It has been discontinued since March 2022. Once your visa is approved, you will receive an e-visa at the email address you have provided in your application.
Once you have received your valid Singapore visa, you also need to fill out an SG Arrival Card Declaration at least 3 days before your arrival to Singapore. This step should not be missed as SG Arrival Card is an important document you should present at the immigration counter along with your visa and other travel documents.
Remember to clarify all your doubts. If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to reach out to the relevant authorities or seek advice from a professional visa agent.

Conclusion

Getting a proper Singapore visa from Dubai is essential for planning your trip to the island city-state. By following these above-mentioned tips and guidelines, you can ensure a hassle-free application process and increase your chances of getting approved for the visa within time. Remember to apply for your visa well in advance of your travel dates to avoid any delays or complications. With that, now you know how to proceed with a Singapore visa application from Dubai.

5 Best Safety Shoes to Buy in Singapore [2025 Guide]

Safety is a must in certain jobs like construction, manufacturing, and electrical. Accidents can happen, but the right protective gear can help prevent injuries. Safety shoes prevent workplace injury for feet and provide benefits like better traction and support for those long shifts.

Buying safety shoes for work requires research and deliberation because you want to get reliable shoes and not waste your money. After all, these shoes can be expensive. If you’re looking for the best safety shoes in Singapore, we’ve made your decision easier by finding the top five choices [2025 review].

But before we get to the list, it’s important to talk about safety shoes, their benefits, and what you should consider when buying them.

Safety Shoe Types

Safety shoes are typically of two types: boots and trainers. Safety boots are more common as they have a high-top or mid-cut top that adds protection for ankles.

Safety trainers have a more casual look and lean more towards comfort, making them ideal for tradesmen or delivery drivers, who travel for work often and spend less time in dangerous conditions. However, as casual as they may look, these are not like average trainers and are equipped with safety features.

On the other hand, safety boots are sturdier and often have more safety features meeting international standards set for safety shoes. These are suitable for construction, metalwork, electrical work, operating heavy machinery, and working with hydrocarbons or chemicals.

Safety Shoe Features to Look For

This is the most important consideration because the features of the shoes will tell you how safe, reliable, and comfortable the shoes are. There are various safety features in these shoes. Not every model may have all of them. However, the more safety features there are, the safer the shoe will be.

Here are the main features to look out for:

Slip-Resistant Outsole: Safety shoes feature slip-resistant outsole, typically made of rubber, that can provide traction on different surfaces, including wet or oily, and prevent falls. It should ideally be tested for slip resistance.
Steel toe cap: This is a common feature in safety shoes but is still worth paying attention to. The steel toe cap can withstand impact, for example, a heavy object falling on the foot.
Shock absorption: The outsole, midsole, or insole should offer a high level of shock absorption. This depends on the material the sole is made from and the amount of cushioning.
Comfortable insole: The insole on most safety shoes is removable. It should provide arch support, especially if you’re on your feet for most of the day.
Durable, breathable upper: The upper may be made from leather or synthetic materials. Both materials can provide adequate protection if they are high quality. Overall, the upper should be durable and offer some breathability for air circulation.
Waterproofing: Not all shoes are waterproof, so if you work outdoors and need them, make sure they are labeled as waterproof. Waterproof shoes have water-resistant uppers and sealed seams and joints.
Anti-static: If you work with electricity outdoors or indoors, the shoes should be anti-static (prevent electric shock).

Safety Shoe Standards

There are standards for safety shoes that ensure that the shoes comply with the requirements and have been tested for them. This is an easy way to ensure you’re buying reliable safety boots.

The standard for work safety shoes followed globally, including in Singapore, is ISO 20345. According to this standard, all safety shoes must have impact protection of at least 200 joules force (20 kg weight dropped from 1.02 meters) and compression resistance of at least 15 KN (1.5 tonnes).

Under the ISO 20345 standard, there are different categories, depending on the features and protection they provide. These include S1, S1P, S2, S3, S4, and S5.
