SINGAPORE: Love’s in the air — 165 metres high in fact — for
couples speed dating on the Singapore Flyer.
They were taking part in MediaCorp Radio’s "Speed Dating in a
Leap Year" event on Friday, 29 February.
Two couples walked away with the "Perfect Couple" title when
their choices for another date matched.
Bilal and Safura Khan are one of the pair. "He’s funny, that’s
why," said Safura Khan. "When I saw her, I was thinking, ’so good’,
’alright’. I tried my best to impress her, and I think I did," said
Bilal.
The other "perfect couple" are Er Peishan and Ang Kachun. "It
was a very comfortable chat with him," said Peishan. "It’s very
comfortable talking to her....," said Kachun.
Love in the leap year also got onto reel life, with MediaCorp
Raintree Pictures
premiering its first English romantic film, "The Leap Years", to
several sold—out sessions in cinemas in Singapore.
The good response from Singaporeans gives Raintree Pictures
confidence in the overseas market.
"In Hong Kong, this coming March, there’s going to be a film
market, and that’s where we are going to sell it to the rest of the
world," said Daniel Yun, managing director of Raintree
Pictures.
Raintree Pictures projects the film will rake in box office
takings of up to $2 million in Singapore. — CNA/ir
