Spring Romance by the Singapore River

A side track from all the food posts...

Received this stalk of rose while walking down Orchard road this evening. It was a nice perk up at the end of a working day. An ex-col whom i bumped into even asked me who gave me the rose. LOL.. looks like the "advertisement" is half successful.. :)

This is a actually a promotion gimmick by Central to promote the event called Spring Romance by the Singapore River.  There are Jazz performances starting from 5-28 Feb,  every Sat and Sun, from 8-9pm at the Centrals' Promenade. You can even walk through an arc of love, ring a bell, inscribe a love note on a lock and more at the flower garden outside Central. For more information, can refer to http://www.thecentral.com.sg/

This year's V.Day happens to fall on the 1st day of the Lunar New Year, throwing retailers all over the island into disarray as to which market segment they should target at. I think those lovebirds whose relationship are still under wraps are having the same problem as well as most of them will be required to celebrate the most important day of the year with their family and relatives. It will be interesting to see how these youngsters sneak out and how the elders react to it. ;P
