Contrary to popular belief, dating doesn’t always equate to a high expenditure – well, unless you guys are the sort that makes it a point to have a lavish meal every night or constantly feed off your boyfriends (We pity you, guys!), or when you are celebrating my important occasion (That’s understandable!). If you don’t know, there are actually countless of activities you can get involved in Singapore that you do not have to spend a single cent on.
For those who are still thinking of what to do this weekend, here are a few interesting ideas you can consider under $10 – some even for free!

Cycling at East Coast Park
Cycling at East Coast Park doesn’t cost more than $10, and you can easily rent a bicycle at around $7 for 3 hours. Why not take it as an opportunity to sweat it out and also explore the East side as a couple? You can even cycle all the way to Changi Village and then indulge in some of your favourite hawker delights!

Picnic at Henderson Waves
Though the journey up can be quite a pain, we promise you that this will be an experience which you will not want to miss out on. Together with your other halves, you can gather your lunch essentials and head up there for an afternoon. However, we would recommend you not to stay there till too late as it can get pretty dark at night!

Visit Haw Par Villa
Keen for a spooky, yet educational adventure? Well, since the admission for Haw Par Villa is absolutely free, and you can spend the afternoon (they close at night) learning about the tasteful tales from Chinese legends, such as Journey to the West and Madame White Snake.

Cook together
Another dating idea which can be done at the comforts of your home. There’s nothing better to bond a couple better than cooking together, or even better – learning how to cook together. Who knows? Either one of you might be Masterchefs in the making!

Macritchie Tree Top Walk
If you are intending to go on a hike in Singapore, you can consider taking the Macritchie trail – we heard that the road leading up to the Tree Top Walk can span as long as 3-4km, and that the whole journey should be around 6-7km! Its a great chance to get fit together and then you guys can even go for a wholesome meal after that!

Farmart
If you are good with animals and love interacting with them, it’s time to give Farmart a visit! Here, you can visit the animals corner, go on a farm tour or even sit and relax by the Koi Pond. If you have the time, you can even visit some of the agricultural sites at Kranji such as Bollywood Veggies!

Visit ION Sky
Many people might not know of this, but here at ION Orchard, you can get a spectacular view of the bustling streets of Orchard Road at the 55th-storey. All you have to do is head to ION Level 4, take the lift up and, viola! They are even well-furnished with toilets and seats there so you can stay the whole afternoon / night there if you wish!

Visit Pulau Ubin / the Southern Islands
If you can keen on venturing out of Singapore but are already sick of Batam, why not give Pulau Ubin or the Sister Islands a visit? There, you can embark on a ferry tour at around S$18 per pax for a two-way trip (We know it’s slightly more expensive but it’ll be worth it!) and you will be able to visit St. John’ Island, Kusu Island and even walk over to the coveted Lazarus Island – think white clean sands and lalang fields!

Museum-hopping!
Alas, museum-hopping! Since Singapore is packed with so many historical sites and museums, it is highly unlikely that you will ever get bored. You can even check out the websites of Singapore Arts Museum or National Museum of Singapore for the latest exhibitions and events! Or how about you take a trip to Gillman Barracks on 22nd January (7-11pm) for the highly anticipated “Art After Dark” event hosted in conjunction with Singapore Arts Week 2016?
