Cupid’s arrow is up ahead and the pressure to find love is on! There is an abundant supply of deals on expensive getaways, jewelries, and restaurants. Our consumerist culture makes it seem like spending loads of cash is what Valentine’s Day is all about. Personally, I do not buy it!
This view excludes the disposition of numerous single Singaporeans. If you are alone on February 14, you do not have to sulk in sorrow. It is in your control to have a fulfilling day despite your relationship status! Consider these tips:
ME, MYSELF, & I
Everyone deserves a little break every once in a while. Household chores, social expectations, and work deadlines can weigh you down. This is why you must not feel guilty if you want to prioritize yourself on this day. You can create your own rejuvenating retreat at home for less than S$15, get your nails done at Far East Plaza (express manicure costs as low as S$8), or play a new video game from Cash Converter (my friend bought a Call Of Duty disk for only S$8).
Personally, I enjoy vegging out in front of my laptop. Do whatever you want as long as it is within your means!
SHARING BLESSINGS
Random acts of kindness can generate happiness to both the receiver and the giver. As a compassionate individual, you may spread your love to those who need it the most. Simply search for a campaign nearby by visiting giving.sg/volunteer.
Valentine’s Day must not limit you to extending romantic love because making someone else’s day is entirely worth it.
NO PAIN, NO GAIN
“No pain, no gain” used to be the slogan at my father’s fitness center. I learned that fitness centers do not exactly encourage public displays of affection. Put your gym membership to good use if you want to stay in shape and to avoid the affectionate couples.
Exercise not only elevates your mood, but also improves mental clarity.
BLOOMING CREATIVITY
Do you really want to spend hundreds of dollars on a ridiculously priced bouquet that will die in a few days? No matter how grand or vibrant your store-bought flowers are, they will eventually decompose. Be practical and learn how to make origami flowers instead. Give your masterpiece to the people who inspire you the most.
Flowers fade, but your paper roses will stand the test of time.

Whether you are single or not, February 14 is an excellent time to have fun!
