Love vs. the 11.11 Cart: Why Investing in Each Other Beats Any Flash Sale

Hi Huneybees,

AI Generated Image

Every year when 11.11 rolls around, my husband and I joke about how our shared Shopee cart grows faster than our stomach capacity during buffets. But as we sat scrolling through deals this year (while arguing whether we really needed another smart lamp), something clicked.

11.11 was originally “Singles’ Day,” celebrating solo independence with shopping sprees and self-love treats. But now... married, juggling bills, adulting responsibilities, and building a life together, we found ourselves reflecting on how love itself might just be the best investment we ever made.

The Real Price of Singlehood in Singapore 

Before we got married, the two of us lived solo. And you know what? Everything… cost… more.

• Rent split between one person (We even share subscriptions: Netflix, Disney+, Spotify... don’t judge lah.)
• Utilities paid alone
• Groceries that somehow spoil faster when you’re one person
• Food deliveries because “cooking for one feels so sian”
• No access to couples’ housing grants

And those monthly overheads don’t come cheap. In Singapore, around 63% of household spending goes to housing, food, and transport. For singles, that entire load is on one pair of shoulders.

Yet despite the rise of dating apps and algorithm-powered matchmakers, more people are staying single:

📈 Men (25–29): from ~74.6% (2013) to 83.8% (2023)
📈 Women (25–29): from ~54% to 70.1%
📈 Men (30–34): 39.6% → 45.2%
📈 Women (30–34): 27% → 33.7%

Technology has made matching easier… but commitment harder.

As someone who has lived on both sides of the equation, I can tell you this: living as two doesn’t just feel emotionally richer, it’s financially smarter too.

From Lunch Actually’s Violet Lim:

💬 “Love is actually not a feeling. Love is actually a commitment.”

This hit us hard. Because really, marriage is about choosing each other every day. Not just the fun moments, but the tough ones, the uncertain ones, the “why did you leave the dishes there again” moments.

Love is a lifestyle... one that grows you.

---

If You’re Single This 11.11… Treat Yourself, and Also Treat Your Heart

Instead of filling the cart with things you’ll forget in two weeks:

💖 Make the first move - Send that message. Say yes to that invitation.

💖 Invest in experiences - Workshops, coaching sessions, mixers—things that grow your confidence, clarity, and connections.

💖 Look beyond the profile pictures - Values matter more than aesthetics. Shared life goals matter more than curated selfies.

💖 Seek meaningful guidance - Matchmaking agencies like Lunch Actually don’t just match you, they coach you. They help you build the mindset and skillset to find and sustain love.

They’ve arranged 160,000 first dates and created over 4,500 marriages across Asia.
This 11.11, they even have exclusive discounts for singles ready to take that next step.

Maybe the best thing you buy this season isn’t a gadget, it's growth.

From “Singles’ Day” to “Intentional Living Day”

11.11 is no longer just about crazy checkout counters or year-end savings goals.

It’s becoming a reminder to:

• prioritise mental wellness,
• commit to meaningful connections,
• rethink what fulfilment means.

At the End of the Day: Love Still Wins

Being in a relationship isn’t a guarantee of lifelong happiness or perfect finances, but when nurtured with intention, alignment, and mutual effort, it truly becomes one of the best long-term investments you can make.

And trust me! There’s no flash sale that compares to the feeling of coming home to someone who shares your dreams, divides your burdens, and eats the last fry from your plate without asking (and you don’t even get angry anymore).

This 11.11, before you click “add to cart,” ask yourself:

What if the real deal of the day isn’t on the checkout page… but just waiting to meet you? 💑✨

The botanical selection ranges from aquatic plants to subsistence plants, inspired by the kampong spirit which, at its heart, respects nature and its bounty.
  
  
  
  
  
  The Echoes of Almeda combines architecture with nature, featuring exotic tropical plants. One can find dreamlike serenity as you walk into this bamboo weaved pathway that cuts through the "Tropical Stone".

  The Inner Growth Garden and The Orchard Bridge both won Gold in the competition. Inner Growth Garden by Christian Jenkins (Australia) allows one to escape into their own sanctuary in this eye-catching garden. The use of large leafy plants, tall trees, and low low planting levels, gives off a sense of shelter and safety, allowing one to get lost in the plant world.
  
  The Orchard Bridge also won the Best of Show and Best Construction awards. Created by Eliam Eng and Andy Ng (Singapore), the display draws inspiration from when Orchard Road was still an area filled with pepper farms, fruit orchards, and nutmeg plantations. The fluidity of Mother Nature forms the shapes that take place where man and nature co-exist, on can walk along the bridge and listen to the magic of nature in this display.
  
  The Time Garden and The Time: In the far, far away future also drew a lot of attention with its insta-worthy display. Head on over to Ngee Ann City to experience it all.

Samsung Galaxy S22 Series 5G & Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Series Ready For Preorder

Hi Huneybees,

Samsung Electronics just Unpacked yesterday and they have announced the arrival of the Galaxy S22 Series 5G and Galaxy Tab S8 Series during the livestream of Unpacked 2022: The Epic Standard. Though I have already switched out my phone to the small and dainty Samsung Flip3, I think these new gadgets will make good options for those looking to update their gadgets for the new year

Samsung Galaxy S22 Series 5G  

The Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G merges the best of two smartphone legacies to set a new standard for premium smartphones – the unrivalled power of the Note series and the pro-grade camera and performance of the S series. Featuring a built-in S Pen, advanced Nightography and video capabilities with seamlessly integrated camera lenses, as well as battery life that lasts over a day – Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G is the most powerful Ultra device Samsung has ever created.

Luxurious glass and haze finishing with a sleek metal frame that creates a mirrored effect, adds an elegant touch to the Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G’s reimagined linear, floating layout - complete with Galaxy Note’s iconic sharp angles - all encased in a streamlined design.

With Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G, you can capture footage that’s instantly post-worthy – in any lighting conditions. Advanced Nightography features available across the entire Galaxy S22 family of devices allows you to snap crisp, clear videos on both the front and back cameras, whether you’re recording during the day or night. Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G is built with a 2.4um pixel sensor – Samsung’s largest pixel sensor yet, enabling its camera lenses to capture more light and data, optimising the lighting and detail of your video clips. 

Plus, the Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G’s advanced Super Clear Glass lens helps you take smoother and clearer nighttime videos without flares. Meanwhile, video Auto Framing ensures your camera always captures exactly who you want, whether that’s one person or ten.

With the ability to save photos in RAW format up to 16bit, you can take more control over your edits with more of your images’ data. And just like a DSLR camera, you can brighten or darken your photos with ISO settings and shutter speed, adjust white balance to make your photo more warm or cool, and manually focus on your desired subject to get your images looking exactly the way you want.

As durable as it is striking, Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G comes in four nature-inspired colour options, including Phantom Black, Phantom White, Green, and unique to the Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G, Burgundy. The smartphone will also be available in Graphite, Sky Blue and Red which will be sold exclusively on Samsung Online Store and Samsung Experience Stores.

Left to Right: Samsung Galaxy S22 5G, Samsung Galaxy S22+ 5G and Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra

 

Samsung also unveiled the Galaxy S22 5G and Galaxy S22+ 5G, two flagship devices that power creativity and self-expression for everyday creators. These 2 models will give you the exact same experience as the ultra version minus the S Pen with a smaller and more rounded build, with the Galaxy S22 5G screen size measuring at 6.1-inch FHD+ and the Galaxy S22+ 5G screen size measuring at 6.6-inch FHD+.

 

The Galaxy S22 and S22+ 5G feature the S series’ iconic, fan-favourite Contour-Cut design that blends the camera seamlessly into the housing. To create a sleeker and more refined look, Samsung built both devices with a distinctive flat display, complete with a luxurious glass and haze finish. Now, the S series camera housing is designed to match the colour of the device’s body with a slim and symmetric metal frame for a seamless look. The result is a balanced, unified design that’s modern, fashionable, and sleek.

Both Galaxy S22 and S22+ 5G gives you the same advanced Nightography features as the Ultra version. They are built with a powerful 50MP main camera, 10MP tele-lens, and 12MP ultra-wide lens, so you always get high quality shots. When you’re capturing videos with friends, the new Auto Framing feature detects and tracks up to 10 people and automatically adjusts the camera’s focus, so your camera captures everyone clearly. Both devices are powered by advanced VDIS technology which minimises vibrations, so you get smooth, sharp footage even when you’re on the move.

Galaxy S22 5G is equipped with a 3,700mAh battery and 25W fast charging that never slows you down, while the Galaxy S22+ 5G features a 4,500 mAh battery with 45W super-fast charging, so you don’t have to wait when your power is running low.

Both the Galaxy S22 and S22+ 5G will also ensure you can always stay connected and collaborative. Through our partnership with Google, you can enjoy Google Duo live sharing to view photos in Gallery with friends or write meeting notes with colleagues on Samsung Notes - even while you’re apart.

Both the Samsung Galaxy S22 and S22+ 5G are available in Phantom Black, Phantom White, Green, and Pink Gold. They will also be available in Graphite, Cream, Violet and Sky Blue which will be sold exclusively on Samsung Online Store and Samsung Experience Stores.

Equipped with the fastest processor ever in a Galaxy Tab – a 4nm chip – Galaxy Tab S8 and S8+ also provide 8GB RAM and 256GB of storage for any task. If you need more processing power, Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra 5G packs in 12GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage. All three models offer expandable storage by up to 1 TB with an optional microSD card.

And for the first time ever, Samsung’s exclusive partnership with Clip Studio Paint can turn your smartphone into a digital colour palette, your S Pen into a paintbrush, and Galaxy Tab S8’s expansive screen into your canvas. Customise tools and choose brush options, and even select vivid real-world colours from pictures taken on your synced phone.

Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra 5G’s new 4K recording capabilities now allow you to capture crisp, eye-catching videos with both the rear camera and ultra-wide front camera. Content creators and streamers can capture online tutorials and gameplay effortlessly, using customisable Selfie Videos that are now embedded within Samsung’s Screen Recorder. With LumaFusion’s premier editing tool coming soon to Galaxy, you will soon be able to use your Galaxy Tab S8 and S Pen to make precise edits to 4K videos.

Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra 5G’s expansive screen also makes it easy for you to split the screen into multiple, resizable windows, so you can multitask without having to toggle between apps. Get inspired, search websites, and annotate presentation slides — all in one view.

In today’s always-connected world, security is more important than ever, which is why all three Galaxy Tab S8 models are equipped with new features that give the ability to track when your tablet’s camera and microphone are in use and allow you to instantly block all app access to prevent unwanted recording. The Galaxy Tab S8 Series is also protected by Samsung’s industry-leading Knox Vault platform, which encrypts personal data and keeps stored files and information isolated from the device’s main operating system to safeguard it from attacks. All members of the lineup sport an intuitive fingerprint scanner23 that enables single-touch device unlocking.

The Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra 5G comes in bold and timeless Graphite, and Galaxy Tab S8 and S8+ come in two sophisticated shades - Graphite and Pink Gold. Samsung is also releasing a new Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra Book Cover Keyboard that takes the Ultra’s functionality even further with wider, backlit keycaps, customisable shortcut settings, and adjustable standing angles.
