SMS Poll: Valentines’ Day – Overrated or Celebrated?

No Denise, I don’t think it is overated but may be over promoted by advertisers. Personally I advocate the fact that you have to show your loved ones that you think and care about them either by doing little favours or buying useful presents for them. Who doesn’t want to feel loved, right ? GONG XI FA CAI:-) of course it has to be celebrated by the newly met as much as well as the long time relationship…. Valerie

Overrated. More for young n naive punks that indirectly Burn” their parents hard earn $ that benefit the retailers. They hv d last laugh!

overated too comercial. David

Denise, Valentine’s Day? We should instead have Valiant Time Day when all men should do something heroic for their girlfriends like washing their underwear haha. By the way I am a guy, serious!

hi hi ya it is over rated. U don’t need a special day to tell some1 u love them. Wendy

THE GOLD HEALTH GUIDE
Improve your posture, by answering the phone whilst standing. If standing against a wall, push your shoulders and buttocks into the wall, then aim to eliminate any gaps, by pushing the lower back into the wall. Hold for 20 seconds, and then carry on a normal conversation. Avoid breathing heavily during the exercise.

MAKAN KAKIS
The winning recommendation: D best claypot rice is right smack in Chinatown along Smith st. Right atop d CK dept store n wet mkt. Their oyster sauce marinated chicken is very tender n d small portion of salted fish is not too salty. They serve small pots for 1 person at 5, which is very convenient if dining alone. They also hav wide choice of double-boiled soup n oyster sauce vegetable to go along. Each pot comes with fluffy rice n a thin layer of burnt rice at d bottom, fr those who like it burnt. Having tried Geylang, Clementi, Queenstown, etc, dis is d best. Waiting time is 20 mins. There r 2 stalls, dis is d corner stall. Easy to find, d 2 younger sisters r pretty. *wink . . Now d tough part. If u announce d address on air, d queue gonna b longer, but good things muz share rite, So here it is . .
