Valentine's Day 2015

Valentine's Day is coming! Do you already have plans? I don't yet but I figured that I'd write a post listing out places you can go, things you can do and what to do for your special other (or the one you intend to ask out).

Just a fun story: I asked James out for Valentine's Day 3 years ago, and he didn't even realize it until like 4 hours later when we were home. This is how it went:

Me: Hey, are you free next Tuesday?
Him: Tuesday? Yeah I don't have band, I'm free.
Me: Alright, great.

4 hours later...

Him: I just realized that next Tuesday is Valentine's Day...
Me: Ha-haha.. ha... surprise?

Funny how it happened. But I'm glad it did.

Part 1: Places To Go

1.1 If you have money, go to these places:

  • Universal Studios Singapore - self explanatory
  • SEA Aquarium - self explanatory
  • Trick Eye Museum - TONS OF PICS
  • Adventure Cove - baby it's better down where it's wetter...
  • Wild Wild Wet (for you cheapos/ eastsiders) - see above...
  • Luge Ride (at Sentosa) - race you down!
  • Gardens By The Bay - TONS OF PICS 2.0
  • Cafe hopping would be nice... (do your research and Google is your best friend)
Pre-book your tickets or buy from Carousellers (they have it for a little cheaper. Hey, every dollar counts right?) And as an added bonus, here's an original pickup line from yours truly:

Hey baby, can I have an adventure in your cove?

1.2 If you don't have money, go to these places:
  • Siloso Beach - sun tan yo
  • East Coast Park - cycle/rollerskate
  • Marina Barrage - kite flying/picnics
  • Changi Airport (it's nice there) 
In all technical sense these don't cost money to go to... but bicycles and/or picnics don't cost half as much as those places above do.

Part 2: Special Things You Can Do (for your other half)

By other half I don't mean girlfriend, I mean that a girlfriend should also do something for their man because Valentine's Day means appreciating your partner, not a boyfriend splurging on his girlfriend.

2.1 Things to BUY for:


Men:
  • A nice watch (if you can afford it)
  • A new wallet (men wear theirs out so fast wtf)
  • A pair of sunglasses (if they look good in it, why not)
  • A cap maybe. Looks nice on some.
  • New underwear, if he's wearing the same old shit all the time...
  • Gaming related things (Garena shells, @-cash, Steam wallet...)
  • Or a fucking new game for his xbox. YEAH!
Women:
  • Flowers.
  • Chocolates.
  • Victoria's Secret lingerie (not cheap though...)
2.2 Things You Can DIY
  • Check out Chloe Choo's Valentine's Day Post (on DIY items) at: http://chloeandchoo.com/typewrite-r/2015/2/2/11-ways-to-say-i-love-you
  • Make your own bouquet - paper flowers
  • Tutorials are ALL OVER YouTube if you can put in some effort to find them...
  • Hey, straw hearts are cute.
  • Paper hearts with little notes in them?
  • 365 notes for 365 days
  • Make her a mixtape... of songs that remind you of him/her.
Notes in general are just cute. :D

Please remember to dress up nicely for Valentine's Day. Unless you two have a code to dress sloppy or something, I think it's nice for one to put in effort for the other party... Plus point: 2015's Valentine's Day falls on a Saturday!

Heard that Fifty Shades is R21 so I guess y'all can go watch something else now... HAHA or watch online together I guess? It's not bad at all, I heard that there's a lot of sex in the movie.
Anyhoo, hope you'll enjoy your Valentine's, single or attached!


Love,
Anya
