12 Romantic Places in Singapore Where You Can Pop the Question 12 Romantic Places In Singapore Where You Can Pop The Question 20 JUNE • CLAIRE TENG Proposals are an undeniably special occasion as this is when you will be asking for your partner’s consent to be your partner for life. Growing up, many girls would fantasise about their ideal proposal venues, and their dream engagement rings – often leaving their partners in a tussle as they stress over making every aspect of the proposal perfect. In a proposal, location is key. Not only does it create the right atmosphere for the romantic event, it will be a place where you will return to in the future, to commemorate and reminisce about your engagement. No worries for we understand your pain and struggle. Finding the right location to propose is not an easy feat, but a tip of advice is to simply ask yourself “What would she like? What kind of girl is she?” To ease your search or for some inspiration, here are 12 Romantic Places In Singapore Where You Can Pop The Question and secure your partner for the rest of your life. #1 ALKAFF MANSION An exquisite Italian restaurant found at the peak of Telok Blangah Hill, the Alkaff Mansion sits within a great green park and the grandeur of the building and its courtyard is a sight to behold. The Alkaff Mansion is also a popular destination for weddings and it is not hard to see why. The colonial-inspired architecture of the mansion paints an extremely romantic and magical ambience great for a proposal. If you are unsure about what your partner expects for a proposal, the Alkaff Mansion would be a safe choice that would tick the boxes for most girls. Alkaff Mansion 10 Telok Blangah Green, Singapore 109178 Tel: +65 6510 3068 Daily: 11.30am – 3pm, 6pm – 11pm Nearest Station: Telok Blangah // Photo Credit: The Smart Local #2 BLISSHOUSE SINGAPORE Blisshouse Singapore is a wedding-themed restaurant in Clarke Quay Central and the dining establishment wants to share your “Blissful Moments” together with you in Blisshouse. The design of Blisshouse Singapore came from the Garden of Eden and you would nd the location decorated with an endless amount of articial owers. There is also a decorated carriage and a bridge within the premises, which only goes towards creating the perfect romantic setting for a proposal and picture-worthy backdrops. Albeit a slightly girlier and a more “cheesy” proposal setting, this would be an ideal proposal location if your partner is a fairytale lover and let’s be frank – you are her Prince Charming. Blisshouse Singapore 6 Eu Tong Sen Street, #03-21 Clarke Quay Central, Singapore 059817 Tel: +65 6225 5532 Sun to Thu: 12pm – 10pm Fri & Sat: 12pm – 11pm Nearest Station: Clarke Quay #3 BOTANIC GARDENS A proposal in a picturesque white pavilion placed among lush greenery in the Botanic Gardens is the epitome of a romantic and meaningful proposal. You can request to book the pavilion and the lawn for your very special day. However, in light of the bare setting of the pavilion and the lawn, please be advised that this proposal location would require greater efforts in preparatory and decoration works. Still, this gives you more room to explore a theme for your proposal and greater leeway to inject more personal touches into the whole event. If you are planning to execute your proposal at night, you can consider decorating the entire pavilion with fairy lights for a warm, romantic setting and even have live music played during the event. With the extensive amount of work required, we would advise you to rely on the help of friends and family. Also, their presence at the proposal could be something your partner truly appreciates. Botanic Gardens 1 Cluny Road, Singapore 259569 Tel: +65 6471 7138 Daily: 5am – 12am Nearest Station: Botanic Gardens Photo Credit: Singapore Guide #4 CÉ LA VI Formerly known as KU DE TA, CÉ LA VI is a swanky rooftop bar atop the Marina Bay Sands. Ask for the best seats in the bar, in advance, so that you and your partner can enjoy the best view of Singapore’s cityscape as you enjoy your meal together. Watch the sunset or even enjoy one of their signature cocktails together and thereafter get down on one knee and ask for her hand in marriage. Due to its incredible jaw-dropping views, CÉ LA VI is also another hot spot for proposals. Also, their staff are more than happy to assist you with your proposal plans which does reduce your stress during the actual proposal itself. You are in good hands. CÉ LA VI 1 Bayfront Avenue, Marina Bay Sands, Singapore 018971 Tel: +65 6508 2188 Mon: 12pm – 2am Tue: 12pm – 5am Wed: 12pm – 3am Thu to Sat: 12pm – 5am Sun: 11am – 2am Nearest Station: Bayfront // Photo Credit: Your Singapore #5 CHIJMES CHIJMES is arguably one of the most beautiful places to have your wedding at. Filled with a unique charm and warm ambience, the Gothic-styled 19th-century chapel is decorated with intricate designs and details that transform the location into a stunning venue for any romantic occasion. In this instance, why not consider proposing to your partner here? Especially so, if your partner is an architectural lover and is aware of the history behind the building. Perhaps, you can even consider having your wedding at CHIJMES itself in the future. This would be a dream location to say “yes” at twice! CHIJMES 30 Victoria Street, Singapore 187996 Tel: +65 6337 7810 Mon to Fri: 8am – 3am Sat & Sun: 8.30am – 4am Nearest Station: City Hall Photo Credit: YouTube #6 GARDENS BY THE BAY Most of us usually visit Gardens By The Bay when we feel a little touristy, or predominantly during the Christmas season. But have you thought about transforming this iconic attraction of Singapore into a potential place to propose to your partner? One of the potential places to conduct the proposal is at the Flower Dome, where you can “say it with owers”. Or why not ask for your partner’s hand in marriage on the OCBC Skywalk surrounded by towering super-tree groves? With stunning views all around, this will be a picture perfect proposal. Gardens By The Bay 18 Marina Gardens Drive, Singapore 018953 Tel: +65 6420 6848 Daily: 5am – 2am Nearest Station: Bayfront Photo Credit: Your Singapore #7 HENDERSON WAVES AT MOUNT FABER PARK Does your partner enjoy hiking or love nature? If so, Henderson Waves at Mount Faber Park would be a great place to pop the question as it differs from the conventional stereotype of proposals in a restaurant setting or hotel room. Built 36 metres above the ground, Henderson Waves is recognised as the highest pedestrian bridge in Singapore that boasts incredible views of the city’s landscape, sunrise and sunset. However, if you prefer to keep your proposal private, aim to bring your partner to Henderson Waves in the early morning or late evening as it is otherwise a popular dating spot for plenty of couples. With a homemade breakfast or dinner in hand, and spectacular views of the horizon before you, Henderson Waves is the perfect backdrop to a proposal and this will be one your partner will denitely appreciate. Henderson Waves Henderson Road, Southern Ridges, Bukit Merah, Singapore 159557 Tel: +65 6377 9688 Daily: All day Nearest Station: Telok Blangah #8 NATIONAL GALLERY SINGAPORE Known for its grand Victorian-inspired architecture and spacious interior, the National Gallery Singapore is a monumental Singaporean landmark as it occupies both the Old Supreme Court and City Hall. With such beauty, it is hardly surprising that this is one of the more popular shooting locations for wedding photography. But you do not have to wait until your wedding preparation to enjoy the beauty of this historical landmark for it is also a great location for a romantic proposal. There are many galleries for you to execute your proposal; the Ng Teng Fong Roof Garden Gallery, the Former Supreme Court Foyer and inside the Rotunda. If your partner is an avid lover of history and museums in general, this is one location that you should seriously consider as she will not only appreciate the apt choice of a proposal setting but the National Gallery Singapore as well. National Gallery Singapore 1 Saint Andrew’s Road, #01-01, Singapore 178957 Tel: +65 6271 7000 Sun to Thu: 10am – 7pm Fri & Sat: 10am – 10pm Nearest Station: City Hall // #9 RESORTS WORLD SENTOSA Resorts World Sentosa is lled with so many timeless attractions where you can propose to your partner. And you will not have to do the planning alone, as there are Event Specialists who can help you out with your special day! From surprise proposals in the S.E.A. Aquarium, at the Ocean Suites, what about a public ash mob? There are so many options to go for especially if your partner is a fun-loving individual. No matter your decision, we are condent that she will appreciate the gesture nonetheless and that it will a day to remember. Resorts World Sentosa 8 Sentosa Gateway, Singapore 098269 Tel: +65 6577 8888 Nearest Station: Harbourfront #10 SINGAPORE FLYER A proposal in the skies will be sure to take your partner’s breath away. You can have this, and more in the Singapore Flyer, as a gorgeous view of the city’s landscape at 165 metres above the ground is guaranteed to complete the experience. If you prefer to keep the proposal private, there is the option of booking an entire capsule where you can enjoy a romantic meal through The Premium Sky Dining Flight with your partner during the entire ride.

  • Cities in the Sky: Elevating Singapore's Urban Spaces Swinal Samant†
    International Journal of High-Rise Buildings International Journal of June 2019, Vol 8, No 2, 137-154 High-Rise Buildings https://doi.org/10.21022/IJHRB.2019.8.2.137 www.ctbuh-korea.org/ijhrb/index.php Cities in the Sky: Elevating Singapore's Urban Spaces Swinal Samant† Department of Architecture, National University of Singapore, Singapore Abstract Singapore has seen a phenomenal and an unprecedented transformation from a swampland to a high density urban environment since its independence in 1965, made possible largely and single-handedly by the sustained efforts of its government. Indeed, urban space is a key vehicle for achieving urban social, environmental, economic, and cultural sustainability. The dense urban context in Singapore has seen an emergence and increase in elevated spaces in the form of sky- gardens, sky-bridges and sky-courts in a range of building types, seemingly seeking to tie together the different horizontal and vertical components of the city. This paper, therefore, examines the effectiveness of elevated urban spaces and pedestrian networks in Singapore and their ability to contribute to the horizontal to vertical transitions, and consequently to the urban vitality and accessibility. It does this through the analysis of two key developments: Marina Bay Sands and the Jurong Gateway. In particular, it considers the implications of certain constraints placed on urban spaces by their inherent location at height, in addition to the familiar privatization of public spaces, over-management of spaces, and their somewhat utilitarian characteristics. The paper argues that some of these issues may pose detrimental effects on the publicness of these spaces that in turn may lead to such spaces being underused and therefore adding redundancies and further stress to Singapore's urban land.
