Planning a party? Well, good luck keeping things quiet when the drinks are flowing and the music’s bumping. But fear not, we’ve got you covered with these tips to avoid annoying the entire block:
- Pick the Right Time: The Singaporean working culture is no joke. Your neighbors might not appreciate a rave at 2 AM on a weekday. Aim for weekends (preferably not on the eve of a public holiday), and end the party by midnight. After all, Singaporeans need their beauty sleep to function at 100% in the office.
- Control the Volume: Invest in a decent sound system that doesn’t shake the walls but still gives your party the right vibe. Turn it down a notch after 10 PM, especially if you're in a HDB unit – you don’t want the “Uncle from 5th floor” knocking on your door.
- Offer Snacks and Drinks: Everyone loves a good spread. Whether it’s prawn crackers or kaya toast, snacks make the party feel complete (and you might just get away with a little noise if your guests are busy stuffing their faces). Remember, kaya toast is the official snack of every Singaporean.
- Be Friendly to Neighbors: A simple text to your neighbors saying, “Hey, we’re having a small gathering tonight, hope it’s not too loud!” can go a long way. If they can’t stand the noise, they might just leave you alone if you show you’re considerate.
