Punggol Promenade

To prepare an article on Valentines events, LianHe ZaoBao requested for images of Clique Wise's event that’s going to be held at Punggol Promenade end of this month. Hence I arranged a photo shoot few days ago.

That morning, the sky was threatening with dark clouds. I prayed. God answered my prayer exceedingly, it was sunny throughout the photography session. We had a fun and fruitful time together!

The article was on the cover page of zbNOW today. I was quoted in the article. My dad saw the news article and asked about this place. Mum pestered me to bring her out. So here I am at Punggol Promenade again. This time— with my parents!


Punggol Promenade is a new park along Serangoon Reservoir. About 10 min walk from Riveria LRT. Ultra-peaceful, scenic and clean. Awesome place to laze, reflect, dine, stroll, cycle, jog and patok!!! 
 

Ideal date venue

My parents and I strolled, basked in cool of the sunset, then dined at a cozy lounge overlooking the park. Imagine a pair of old folks in their 80s, chilling out among yuppies who are drinking wine and cocktails. My parents are totally cool about it! In fact they LOVE it! I am sooooo going to bring them here again!

1. Baking/ Cooking
Bake ginger bread man cookies, mix her favourite salad or roast a beef! Women love men who can cook. Cooking/baking will not make you less manly, but more caring.

Massages, manicure, pedicure, hair cut, grooming services are one of the essential recreation of modern ladies. These perk-me ups make women feel refreshed, rejuvenated and rejoiced! When she looks good, she feels good too! Buy a spa package/ vouchers from a reliable Spa for her cloud 9 experience.

3. Hand bags
Women have few hand bags to match their varied wardrobe and different occasions. Get her a hand bag that suits her lifestyle. If you are unsure, consult her closed ones who are aware of her style and endowed with a good sense of fashion.

4. Music CDs
Christmas songs to get her into the festive mood. She could play it during her Christmas parties too!

5. ... ... (Fill in the blanks)
City girls know what they like. Women feel respected when asked for her personal opinions. Casually ask her what is her wish-list and you may see some light on what she wants. For those with a certain budget, this question might help: "if you have won $XX cash voucher in Takashimaya, what would you redeem?"

Christmas celebrates the gift of living. Enjoy the process of choosing gifts for the beloved ladies, wow her and relish wonderful time together!
