Romance is in the air! It’s time for roses, chocolates, cards and balloons — every conceivable symbol and offering of love!
City News’ favorite personalities share how they celebrate Valentine’s Day:
Kong Hee
Founder/Senior Pastor, City Harvest Church
“Sun and I always celebrate Valentine’s Day in a low-cost way. I would prepare BIG cards and spend time writing a long message on it. I do prepare different surprises from time to time. This year, Sun will be in New York and my parcel to her should arrive by Fedex on Monday.”

Derek Dunn
Executive Pastor, City Harvest Church
“We have been married for so long. Now that we have kids, our time is stretched, and therefore, quality time is essential to us. When we were younger, Valentine’s Day would be a romantic escape for us, indulging in presents and a beautiful dinner. Today, our activities on V-Day include spending quality time with each other, staying home and cooking for my wife, or going out – just the two of us.”
Nanz Chong-Komo
Author and speaker
“Larry has sent me flowers every year since we met 12 years ago. I have kept all his cards. The best gift was a getaway to Phuket, to our favorite beach. He has also given me some nice jewellery, which I enjoy.”

“My first Valentine’s Day was the most memorable… I was only 19 years old then. Bought my first bouquet of flowers for my first girlfriend who is now my wife.”
