By Ng Hui Yu & Elise Wong -
The biggest question on date night is finding an exciting activity to do with your partner. Singapore is a relatively small country and it's pretty common that most of us struggle to find activities to do especially over the weekend.
If you’re drawing blanks at this question, you can spice up your romantic life with a different answer than the usual dinner date. Whether you're looking for a new idea for that awkward first date of yours, or even if it's a routine date night with your boo, you might want to consider going for some of these artsy workshops that will fire up your passion for some cute couple bonding.
You’re welcome to show off your creative genius or bond over shared slip-ups with your partner!
