Now, settle down you lovebirds. We know the air is still filled with love, but we are back again this week with new events for you after the spectacular pre-Valentine’s date ideas that we lined up for you last week.
For this week, not only do we have more events for you to keep the love and sparks flying between you and your partner, there’s also a Tekken championship for those old-timers who’d like to bring back the nostalgia, a new matcha ice cream shop to remind you life isn’t that bitter, and for the singles and adventurous; who knows, you might find your other half at one of the events 🙂
