Some of us even received special stationery sets from our teachers, which we coveted as much as limited-edition Dragonball Z cards. There's a certain sense of nostalgia and fun associated with those carefree days, and i's an ‘experience we all share. ‘What if you could relive those days all over again this October with your date? You don't have to be back ‘in primary school to celebrate Children’s Day—as long as there's an ‘nner-child in the both of you, there's no Teason why you can't have some innocent, child-like fun on your date.

ESPLANADE WATERFRONT PROMENADE The Esplanade is located alongside ‘Marina Bay near the mouth of the Singapore River. And since The Float is located right next to you. you can bet your boitom dollar that the view here wail be absolutely spectacular. Do keep in mind, however, that since this 1s a prime location, the promenade will be crowded. So get there as early as Spm with your date to secure a good sitting spot. ‘THE PROMONTORY @ MARINA BAY Located across the bay from The Float, The Promontory boasts a spectacular View. The downside is that, because you are on the Raffles Place side of Marina Bay, Singapore's familiar city skyline will be behind you. However, you are there for the fireworks and the time of your life with someone special, so that shouldn't matter. PADANG ‘The Padang may not be where the party's at, but it does have a leg up over the other viewing locations around the CBD: space.

Besides, who doesn't ike big fields and picnics? MARINA BARRAGE ‘The Marina Barrage may be a little out of the way and is the furthest location on this list to view the fireworks, but does offer a sense of seclusion from all the hustle and bustle perfect for a more intimate countdown experience.

FESTIVE CHEER WITH GOOD FRIENDS AND GOOD FOOD. “ Dena Lag =r Cece eo ae Christmas 9 It's a long-established tradition—in the United States and Canada—to have turkey as a main course for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Even in the UX, turkey meat has been eaten as early as the 1540s! HISTORY OF THE Although indigenous to the Americas and first domesticated by the Aztecs, the turkey became a part of Christmas tradition almost as soon as it was introduced to England. Today, part of the continued charm of the turkey could be due to the fact that it's a large fowi, perfect for large family reunions. The turkey has never been culturally significant in Asia, although the tradition may P been introduced when much of Southeast Asia was colonised The meat today is falling out of favour because of the hassie wnvolved in its preparation, from defrosting to ensuring that the meat is cooked evenly! The }ought of spending hours toiling in the kitchen and fussing over the difficult bird is likely to kill one’s appetite. FLIPPIN So, instead of fretting over a turkey recipe, why not consider something much more manageable, such as Norwegian salmon? Yes, there are a variety of meat choices to choose from. but the more health-conscious among us may want to veer away from roasted red meats or hams, While protein is part of a balanced diet, experts agree that protein from fish is healthier than that from meats. That's because fish on average has less saturated fat than meat; they—particularly Norwegian salmon=also contains sources of good monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which improve blood cholesterol levels and lowers one’s risk of heart disease @ octonne-oecruse 2014 09 oro eo W ana nc’ iota Coe ec) eto i eect) ee mea menu ray Oona} Se ea Ree ie naly Ce] arena) Precast oy eee) eer ns they are free from toxins pete cco Pero ics peed) cone igen) eee eat e) Pheu Pen Ee Perret eiees FEATURE ON 26 AUG 2014, THE SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT NETWORK, TOGETHER WITH NORWEGIAN SEAFOOD COUNCIL (NSC), ORGANISED AND CONDUCTED A SPEED-DATING COOKING CLASS THAT BROUGHT TOGETHER EIGHT MALE AND FEMALE, CHEFS IN AN EVENT CALLED (SEAJFOOD FOR THOUGHT. ¢ 42 ocroner-ottwse The participants started out getting to know each other in a roundtable chat. An icebreaker game was played to loosen ther up for the challenge ahead, Aiter Jon Erik Steenslid, NSCs Regional Director, South-East Asia, gave a quick introduction to his organisation and the benefits of Norwegian salmon everyone was raring to start and gathered around Chef Jimmy Chok, the man tasked with demonstrating how. to prepare the event's four dishes, How the challenge worked Participants were paired up to make each of the four dishes. From starter to dessert, male Participants were rotated upon completion of each dish so that each guy got to interact with every girl The dishes were assessed by a panel of judges, who gave points for taste, presentation, as wel as the chemistry between the duo who prepared it. The winning dish for each round was awarded a number of points, which was added to the final tally. The couple with the highest points wins the competition Pretty straightforward, but there was a twist: participants weren't allowed to seek help from the chef or refer to the recipe! Points were deducted for each question asked, while interaction points were given when a working pair showed some sparks eb ocronne-otcre 2014 13 FEATURE READY, GET SET Before Chef Chok proceeded with the demonstration, he expertly sticed a whole salmon, identified the parts and advised what they would be good for For example, salmon sashimt arguably the most preferred raw fish is best when taken from the loin of the salmon. “The fat s more evenly circulated, which gives you great flavour and texture,” he explained During the demonstration, all eyes were on Chef Chok as he skiifully handled the beautiful Norwegian salmon, Hands were a-flurry as everyone furiously jotted down notes—we even spotted someone drawing a diagram of the final plated dish! Fresh Norwegian salmon is delectable in itself, as anyone who has tasted a slice of premium Norwegian salmon sashimi can attest. When your fillet is one-third cooked, you can fip it over,” Chef Chok advised. The participants then headed to their owm stations, and began their challenge, Right from the start, interaction points was dished out—we spotted Derek Koh helping his partner, Doreen Low, put on her apron. We also noticed the male participants graciously offering to handle the knife, or got their hands dirty just so that the ladies won't have to It was almost a religious experience observing the harmony that prevailed among certain pairings, even though they didn't know each other. Surprisingly, this was the first time any of them had joined an event like this! I never really knew there were events such as this," revealed Sally Wan, a demure looking civil servant. She jumped at the opportunity when she came across a mailer by SDN. "I may join something like this again in future, came her ringing endorsement Itwas impressive, even heart- warming, to see the participants gelling more and more with ich dish. ‘Cooking, [ike ina relationship}, is all about the 14 ccroneeoteusee 2081 gh teamwork.’ Tim Chew commented, a thought echoed ‘Tng: "Because it requires a coordination and collabor as a result of toi jan salmon masterpieces, the best part of the event, reckoned Derek, was to be ple to interact with their partners ang, in the process, make friends s was in part due to he challenges revolving preparation—participants bonded sks that were assigned to.

Play on, Michelle and Yong Fai! Technical support advisor Michelle Sim and assistant engineer Aw Yong Fai, both 34, have been married for about five and a half years—and they have Settlers Café to thank for getting them together. BOARD, NOT BORED Iwas some time in Apr 2006 when these two first laid eyes on each other. Yong Fai was already at Settlers Café with a group of people when Michelle called the organiser—someone she got to know at a SDN event—for directions, “I was surprised to hear a guy's voice,’ recalled Michelle. “I thought it was supposed to be an all-girl outing" Still, Michelle tumed up at the gathering. ‘I thought it was very. gentlemanly of him to offer to escort me.” One night of playing board games made quite an ‘impact on the both of them. Yong Fai was attracted to her affinity for planning and strategy. Michelle was quite chuffed by the fact ‘that their answers to the game of Telepaths were similar. Another gentlemanly gesture that Yong Fai displayed was offering to swap his seat, which was against the wall. with Michelle when her T-shirt kept riding up her back throughout the night “That gave me a good impression of him,” she gushed. BRIDGING DIFFERENCES After a month of dating, Michelle saw other qualities in Yong Fai that she appreciated. “He was family oriented, filial, kind, honest, responsible and willing to help out with household chores,’ she listed But there were other details that bothered Michelle, She was worried about the language barrier between Yong Fai and her familyand an aunt's funeral was not really the best way to introduce a boyfriend. “My dad speaks Teochew, which Yong Fai doesnt understand. My cousins are all highly educated and English-speaking while Yong Fat is more comfortable conversing in Mandarin,” Michelle Bee ey described, ‘But I'm glad he tried to converse with my dad in Hokkien and my cousins in English. He even. drove my dad home.” Action obviously speaks louder than words ‘Michelle was also worried that the gap in their educational levels would be a source of conflict. When they first got together, she was just embarking on a degree programme while he had been working in the. family engineering business after graduating from a polytechnic. "We realised that we stil have many other things in common; our qualifications are just pieces of paper. So our advice to singles out there is to look beyond qualifications and listen to your heart.” SETTLING DOWN Now that the buzz of courtship and honeymoon is, behind them, how is married life for Michelle and) Yong Fai? Michelle, for one, is glad for Yong Fais willingness to do the chores. "My hands will become red and swollen. When exposed to excessive dust I first discovered this allergy when my fingers became so swollen that the doctor advised me to get the ring cut, as it is bad for the ¥ CALLING blood circulation,” she revealed i COMMITTED COUPLES! "Nonetheless, I still try my best to help out. Hubby has been very understanding.” The one skill Yong Fai picked up from Michelle was cooking, “Ttaught hubby how to cook during our courtship; now he can cook very well!” you found your partner are featured nd on SDN online platiorms the: ‘wo of you will receive ouchers wort mite.

But you also need to know that, sometimes, nothing will make a difference—even if youve tried your best Once youve accepted the reality that your relationship is not going to work out, it's time to step out of the loop and move on with your life.
