Some people have stumbled upon my old blog entry while looking for things to do in Singapore, so I thought I'd offer a bit more information on this topic.
I recommended this site at visitsingapore a while back, and I've found some more links that might be interesting.
As I was looking for more material to embellish this entry with, I found Timeout Singapore.
Happened to stumble across this website detailing some of the events that are happening in Singapore. Seems like these are submitted by the event organizers themselves, or as a form of (free?) advertisement.

Be warned, however, this is hardly the most comprehensive list by far, but still, it is a good link to add to your collection when looking for things to do in boring Singapore.
Couple this with a food and restaurant guide for the local dining scene and you should have quite a few good resources to plan your next weekend or days off:

Personally, here are some recommendations:
Sentosa - get an Islander membership for $20 a year and enjoy unlimited rides on the Sentosa Express light rail system at Vivocity to and from the island. You can cycle along the beaches (although it is not very bicycle friendly and people are walking everywhere on the cycle path, and NEVER, EVER roller-blade there), watch the hunks and babes playing beach volleyball, and chill out at one of the many pubs and restaurants along Siloso beach. If you are looking for some peace and quiet, then Tanjong Beach would be a good choice. I live 5 minutes from Vivocity, so it's well within my reach. For those of you living along the North-East Line, Sengkang to Harbourfront is only 24 minutes apart. What other excuse are you looking for? :-)
Pasir Ris Beach Park - It's still a bit out of the way, and not as bustling as East Coast Parkway, or Sentosa, which makes it a good idea if you really want to try some place new. But be warned though, the Fisherman's Village is now gone. Fear not, after your walk/cycle/blade has made you hungry, you can proceed to Downtown East for some night-time entertainment. There is food to be eaten, movies to be watched, karaoke to be sung, games to be played, not a bad place to kill some time.
Alright, I'm tired. Another time then. :-)
