Love is an Experience

Love is not a thing, it’s an experience. A shared experience!

The ongoing obsession with brand name things and the competitive who’s boyfriend or girlfriend buys them the most expensive flowers or gift is hardly romantic.

Ditch the pressure of the expensive restaurant, you can get the same meal or better far cheaper on a different day and do something that’ll create memories that’ll last longer than the taste of the $888 one mouthful dessert. Get out and have fun, create experiences and shared memories.

The Great European Carnival at Central Harbourfront offers the chance to share rides, enjoy the thrill and energy of the circus, play and win prizes for each other. The atmosphere of the carnival midway and the energy of all those around you having fun make it a great place to create memories.

Valentine’s Day package ($600) includes 2 Premium-seat tickets for the Great Circus of Europe, single entry to the AIA Great European Carnival on the same day and 20 e-tokens. The package is only available from 9-11 and 13-14 February 2018 at the door.

Roller Derby @ Victoria Park – 27 January, 2018

The ladies of the Hong Kong Roller Derby took on the Pan-Asian Spring Rollers at the Victoria Park Roller Rink. bc was there to capture the action even if, in truth, we didn’t quite understand all the rules.

A good time was had by all as the Pan-Asian Spring Rollers with a late surge snatched victory. Despite the heavy padding there’ll be some sore bodies today as the action is fast and furious.

Clever Personal

With Valentines Day approaching bc took a look around the local personals websites to see if love is thriving in the era of swipe left or right.

Among the many adverts, was this wonderfully clever one which is too good not to share.

Kudos to the lady in question, hope it works.
