Valentines' Day Survival Guide 101: Couples Edition

Ah, can you smell that? It’s that time of the year when couples cry from planning a valentine’s date and singles get frustrated from the couples being all lovey-dovey in public.

Hence, a survival guide is vital for both couples and singles. After all, couples got to impress their dates so let's get to the point shall we~

(((o(*゚▽゚*)o)))


1. Dinner date sounds more romantic than a lunch date, but you do you. 🥂


Typically, in movies and shows, the dates are held at night. Of course! It just feels more... Romantic when you look into your lover’s eyes in the dimly lit room with your only light source being the candle in the middle of the dining table... Except we are students so only do those kinds of dates if you are prepared for the bill 🧾. Hence, a date at medium-priced places is enough.


Anytime is good for a date honestly, but it just feels more romantic if it’s at night. Imagine eating a burger with your lover at night compared to during the day. Same burger, same place but a different ✨vibe✨...Burgers aside, if you are looking for dinner date tips, I suggest get a place with a view of the sky🌃. This piece of advice also works if you can only settle for a lunch or tea date.


For places near campus, Sunway Pyramid has plenty of choices to let you choose. For instance, The Owl Café or Nanyang Cafe. But, if you are looking somewhere more "fancy", you can try Pavillon KL and the places near the mall. No car? No worries as the LRT is your wingman! 🚆 There are 2 optional routes so choose the one that you find best. (~ ̄▽ ̄)~


(Option A) BRT > USJ 7 > SWITCH TO GOMBAK LINE > LRT TO KLCC STATION > WALK TO PAVILLON


(Option B)

BRT > USJ 7 >LRT TO PASAR SENI > SWITCH TO KAJANG LINE > LRT TO BUKIT BINTANG > WALK TO PAVILLON



2. Heartfelt gifts are enough, even a simple letter 💌


It is common to think the more expensive a gift is, the more it proves someone loves you. Yet at the end of the day, we all got our necessities to cover such as food🍴 and clothes👚. Don't beat yourself up if you do not have the budget to get your lover something expensive.


Instead, get or do something you feel passionate about and dedicate it to your love. You could write a letter or poem 📝, compose a song 🎵, bake cookies🍪, etc. Even if it comes off as cringy to you or your partner, if it is full of love, then it is an already wonderful gift🎁. People can feel boiling passion so it will touch their heart and become a fond memory for both of you. 💖



3. Confidence makes a heart dance🥰💃


Confidence creates an aura that draws others since it spreads a positive, assertive ✨vibe✨ which makes people curious about how one maintains such an attitude. It's impossible to immediately get confidence because it needs time to grow. However! You can come off as more confident than usual by having a detailed plan beforehand.


When you now have a general idea of how it should go, you may feel less tense thus coming off as less nervous to your date. This makes them feel more secure having you lead the date. 🔒💕


⚠ Keep in mind to not become a control freak 🙅‍ and that it is ok to let your plans derail and just go with the flow! Who knows, a beautiful memory may be created by getting off track. 🤨


*Ahem* Let’s be professional yall!



4. Sunway Pyramid is 5 minutes away! 🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️


As Sunwayians, we are blessed to study next to one of the best shopping malls in Malaysia ~ Sunway Pyramid! Hence, you can always have your valentine’s date there from watching movies 🍿 at TGV, bowling🎳, archery🎯, eating lunch or dinner together 🍴, ice skating ⛸, etc. Even just strolling around while holding hands! 👫 (⊙_⊙;) Just plan what you believe your date will enjoy or wing it and go with the flow~ (⌐■_■)


(PS: don’t forget about your budget)


5. “What do you want to do today?” (Aka communication) 💬

Sometimes it's better to just be straightforward than beat about the bush. Asking your partner makes it easier to hit the bullseye of making them happy on this special occasion. For example, if they want to go bowling, then the bowling date it is! 🎳🎳


However, there is always a chance they will pull the “I don’t know” or “Up to you”. Don't fall for it as... It’s a trap (⊙_⊙;)!! Either they really meant it, or they have something in mind but do not want to say it. Try and see if you can find out what it is 🔍. If not, take their word for granted. (⌐■_■)


Remember, you're not in the wrong if you cannot understand the secret hidden message. We are not mind-readers, and you are already doing your best and trying to plan a perfect date by reading this article. 😊


Thus, you have reached the end of this article. Whether you will use the advice here or not, the fact you finished reading it already proves that you care about your date! Kudos to you~╰(*°▽°*)╯


Our team can only hope your valentines date will be successful... Here is a gentle reminder that you are as human as your love, not their minion. Please remember not to only look out for that special person, but also for yourself. Make sure that you will NOT overspend and feel burned out at the end of the day. You are a college student, so make sure this Valentine's Day will not be something you and your date will regret in the future. 🌹🌹



Toodles~ ヾ(≧▽≦*)o
