In the first twist of fate of 2018,
couples agonised as the ever-anticipated Valentine’s Day coincided with Chinese
New Year preparations – causing plans to derail, be pushed forward and time to
run out. This may be a blessing in disguise as the opportunity
to plan for the most romantic getaway or dinner presents itself through Chinese
Valentine’s Day – Chap Goh Meh!
Long ago,
single Chinese women were confined to their houses, and Chap Goh Meh was the only
day of the year that they were allowed to go out. To hasten the process of
finding a life partner, these women would gather by the river and throw oranges.
This rite of passage was a way for them to seek the deities’ blessings to be
bestowed with a good man. Over the years, Chap Goh Meh has evolved to become a
day to celebrate love – a second
Valentine’s Day, in a way.
Whether you
know your partner best or a potential new love is about to spring, this fun and
quirky quiz will point you in the direction to truly wow them this Chap Goh Meh.
Let the ideas flow, as you find out what kind of romantics you – and your
partner – are.

The
Practical Lovebird
When there is a purpose, there is a
reason to do it. If you are the type of person who finds purpose behind
everything and favours rationale over emotion, then you are a practical
lovebird. For you, there are a multitude of ways to show your emotions, but
logic is your bread and butter.
Whether it’s setting the date for a pamper session
at a salon
for your significant other, or a full body
massage
to relieve stress from a work week, there is always something out there to show
that you care. These are two great ways to spend some quality time,
relaxing.
If that’s not your cup of tea, you can
always try a scrumptious
buffet at a hotel,
the limitless selection will leave you and your partner spoilt for choice, but
hey, at least you’re spoilt for choice together.
The
Passionate Partner
More passion than a passion fruit. You
enjoy doing things with your significant other, capturing moments and showing
them off. After all, what screams passion than showing off your perfect
relationship. Whether it’s spending time at home, visiting a new café, or going
to the movies, it’s a must to do it with your loved one. Because you enjoy your
time together so much, you’d want time to slow down and maybe even come to a
stop.
It’s probably a safe bet to say that
you’ve taken tons of photos together and would love to print some of them. A photobook is a great
solution, and what’s more it’s customisable, so you can add some personal
touches to it.
If you prefer a little more hands-on
approach, you could get an instant camera and compile
all your photos in the bundled album, or even start your own scrapbook!
The
Starry-eyed Adventurer
There is no
corner you will leave unexplored. You are adventurous. From rock-climbing to
eating creepy-crawlies, anything that has an adventurous spin, you’re doing it.
Better yet, you’re not doing it alone! There’s nothing better than creating new
memories with the one you love, so you often embark on random road trips and
both planned and unplanned holidays. You love to see new places and meet new
faces, all with the company of your significant other.
The more a
couple does things together, the stronger the relationship, so why not tackle District
21 together? With 10 adventure
attractions to choose from, there’s bound to be something the both of you can
enjoy.
What if you
have a close group of friends and you’d like to show some family love? Well,
how about something that can involve more than just couples – something like Bubble
Sports.
If your
significant other enjoys something a little more tranquil, and you both enjoy
the outdoors, you could opt for a hiking
trip in Cameron Highlands, where you can greet the
morning sun.
The
Hopeless Romantic
Go “all in”, it’s all or nothing.
Putting your heart, soul, mind and finances to the test, is the ultimate way
you show you care. From planning every intricate detail to splurging on the
biggest teddy, you are the hopeless romantic. Charming, confident and not
afraid to express your feelings pretty much sums up who you are. You’re someone
who isn’t shy to say how much you love your partner each and every single day
of the year.
