I realised that there is 26 years old offer. As long as you are below 26 years old, there is a special discount. Even if you are not a full time student but you are below 26 years old, there is a card for you as well.

It is called the International Student Identity Card. It offers special discounts for accomodation, museums, theatres etc.

I will check this out and make use of the offer.

1. www.isiccard.com
2. www.isic.org

In Singapore, to register for this card there is only 1 place called STA Travel.

STA Travel – Head Office Singapore
534A North Bridge Road
188749 SINGAPORE

Of course, there must be a prove that you are a full-time student. If you are not below a full time student, as long as you are below 26 years old you can get to enjoy the discount.
