Then LOLA will start searching for a match for you! Simple as that!


So here goes my interview with LOLA:

LOLA: What does Valentines Day mean to you?
Limaran: Valentines Day is a day of love for me, but not limited to just romantic love. Instead, its about sharing love with my family and friends, about expressing love and thanks to the loved ones around me. I used to bake brownies and make cards for my family and friends during Valentines Day when I was younger!

What were the worst & best Valentines Day gifts you have ever received?
I do not recall the worst Valentines Day gift as we try to put in even as little effort to make this day special. I remembered there was one year that Jason and I were very busy during that period so we decided to just stay home and cook for each other. On our 3rd Valentines Day together, Jason selected and compiled almost 500 photos into a collage and framed it up as a gift for me. I thought that was one of the sweetest thing to receive, as someone who enjoys making cards and craftwork for my loved ones.

What are some dos & donts for picking a gift hell love?
I have always believed that guys are very practical creatures so get something that he can use or wear. Definitely do not get something you think you will definitely love, rather, think in his shoes and imagine him using or wearing it!

Whats the sweetest thing your husband, Jason, has ever done for you?
Proposing to me in the presence of God.

List your top choices of romantic spots for dinner.
Alkaff Mansion Ristorante, Il Lido and Olivia Cassivelaun Fancourt

Lastly, any tips for our singles ladies on how to get a date for Valentines Day?
Dont be afraid to get to know people, also, learn to get to know yourself well so you know what you are looking for in a partner. However, be realistic and practical! LOLA is running a Valentines Day dinner date, they should try it out and grab the chance to get to meet more people! Youll never know what can spark off from a sincere friendship!
