Mark your calendar and set a reminder, my dear friends, for the 14th of February! It's that time of year again when love is in the air and hearts are aflutter. The day to start planning for a romantic and fun-filled day with your significant other has arrived. Valentine's Day is a time to celebrate love and devotion, and there's no better place to do it than in the vibrant city of Singapore.

Singapore, a small but mighty island nation, boasts a plethora of hidden gems that even some of its own residents may not be aware of. From the soaring heights of rooftop bars offering spectacular views of the city skyline to intimate candlelit dinners with Valentine's Day flowers at some of Singapore's finest dining places, the options for experiencing the true beauty and charm of Singapore are truly limitless.

If you're looking for inspiration, let me be your guide to some of the most romantic spots and activities in Singapore. As a hopeless romantic myself, I know the importance of making the most out of Valentine's Day. So, let's make this year's celebration one to remember.

Sipping On Love's Potion


Ascend the stairs of Las Palmas Rooftop Bar this Valentine’s Day and leave behind the noise and chaos of the streets below! This is the perfect place to create unforgettable memories with your loved one.

As the sun sets, the city transforms into a magical place, the soft glow of streetlights illuminating the skyline. The rooftop bar is the ideal spot for couples to unwind, sip on delicious cocktails and take in the stunning views of the city.

But it's not just the views that will make your heart skip a beat, the cocktails here are like nothing you've ever tasted before! Crafted with precision and care by skilled mixologists in partnership with spirit distributor Proof & Company, they've created a menu of unique and delicious creations that will tantalize your taste buds.

Romance In Every Crack


Valentine's Day at Gold & Behold is a one-of-a-kind experience that will make your heart swoon! Nestled in the charming Hillview Terrace, this studio invites couples to discover the art of kintsugi, the Japanese technique of repairing broken pottery with gold or other metals.

As soon as you step inside, you'll be greeted with warm lights, soft music, and the sweet smell of freshly crafted ceramic wares. The sight of glittering powders and lacquer will make your inner artist come alive!

Here's the fun part - you get to smash your own ceramic wares, and then piece them back together using epoxy resin and gold, rose gold or copper powder. It's a slow-going and therapeutic process that produces absolutely stunning pieces of perfectly imperfect works.

At Gold & Behold, couples can celebrate Valentine's Day in a unique and meaningful way, by embracing imperfections and creating something beautiful together. It's a perfect way to remind each other that love is all about finding beauty in imperfection.

Grillin' & Chillin' With Your Love

Valentine's Day at this casual barbecue joint is the ultimate way to celebrate Americana living with your lover. Imagine the mouth-watering aroma of hickory and mesquite woodchips filling the air as you walk in, inviting you to indulge in the authentic flavors of the USA.

The decor is rustic, cozy and perfect for a romantic night out with exposed brick walls, wooden accents and dim lighting. The atmosphere is lively and upbeat, with couples laughing and chatting over plates piled high with delicious food. From succulent ribs, expertly grilled meats, sandwiches stuffed with various pulled or smoked meats, loaded burgers and a range of sides that include beef chilli, sliders and nachos, your taste buds will be in for a treat.

As the evening wears on and your plates are empty, you and your Valentine’s date can raise a glass of cold beer or a sweet tea and toast to your love while taking in the sights and sounds of this authentic American experience. This Valentine's Day, ditch the fancy restaurants and live it up with your lover, indulging in the best of American barbecue at this casual joint. It's the perfect way to make some unforgettable memories and enjoy each other's company.

Making Fashion Statements

This Valentine's Day, forget about the traditional gifts and opt for a unique shopping experience at Loop Garms. This quaint store, nestled in the heart of Singapore, is the brainchild of FJ Sai and Isaac Ang, two friends who fell in love with vintage memorabilia during a trip to Japan.

As you step inside, you'll be transported back in time to the era of '80s and '90s fashion. The store is carefully curated to showcase a wide array of retro apparel, including plaid shirts and pants, graphic tees, and sports jackets from iconic brands like Nike, Adidas, and Fila.

As you and your partner browse the racks, you'll find yourselves bonding over memories of your favourite decade, and maybe even come out with a new piece to add to your wardrobe. So ditch the traditional Valentine's Day gifts this year, and instead, make a memory that will last a lifetime by shopping for a surprise for each other at Loop Garms.

Vintage Romance On The Tracks

Imagine strolling hand in hand with your lover down the tracks of a bygone era, the rustic charm of the Bukit Timah Railway Station enveloping you. The crisp air, the sound of train wheels on the tracks and the nostalgic ambiance of the place transport you to a different time. The two of you explore the heritage gallery, learning about the rich history of the railway station and the people who worked there. You stop for a cup of coffee at the café, housed in the former staff quarters, savoring the warm drink and each other's company.

The ramps and wagons add to the vintage charm of the place and you can't resist taking a few photos with them as a keepsake of this special Valentine's Day trip. The restoration works have done an amazing job of preserving the past while making it accessible to visitors like you and your lover, making it a truly unique and romantic experience.

With all these creative ideas in mind, you're probably feeling motivated to make Valentine's Day extra special this year. And, don't get me wrong, classic gifts like flowers and cards will always have sentimental value. But, what if you planned a full day of surprises and finished it off with a romantic dinner and Valentine’s Day flowers? Talk about making an impression on your loved one! It's the perfect balance of traditional romance and unexpected thrills.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
