Happy Valentine’s Day! Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and you’re probably already thinking about how to impress your partner! If you’re running out of creative ideas, let us help you spice up your dating life with some cheeky pick-up lines inspired by road names in Singapore that you can share with your date to score some points. Hehe.

Road names in Singapore to show off your pun game!

1. Hey “KEW”-tie, you look “KEW”

Located somewhere in Bedok (the town where hearts go “be‑dok be‑dok”), this playful line takes inspiration from one of the lesser-known road names in Singapore. Calling someone a “KEW‑tie” is the perfect icebreaker to slide smoothly into their DMs.

Interestingly, during our research of road names in Singapore, we found articles online mentioning multiple World War II pillboxes still nestled within Bedok today and one of these pillboxes is reportedly sighted along Kew Drive. If you are wondering what a pillbox is, it is a dug-in guard post used as a first line of defence against enemy ships and troops. While intriguing, we’re unable to verify this fully due to limited official documentation. Keep reading, because we have a few more examples of how road names in Singapore are often linked to rich, hidden histories.

2. How has your day been? The weather has been really “holt” recently.

I know, I know, we can feel your eyes rolling to the back of your heads but trust me, asking about someone’s day or talking about the weather can indeed be a good way to fill the awkward spaces in conversations.

Holt Road is located somewhere in River Valley district. ‘Holt Road’ was named in 1921 after Private Holt of Singapore Volunteer Corps, who was one of the casualties in the Singapore Mutiny of 1915. So yes, this is proof that even casual conversation starters can have meaningful roots in the history behind road names in Singapore. (Source: NLB)

3. Unlike the people before me, you can “TRAS” me.

Oh, who doesn’t love Tanjong Pagar? With its wide selection of restaurants right in the heart of the city (WE LOVE KOREAN FOOD), it’s no wonder the area is popular for dates. This witty line draws inspiration from Tras Street, one of the many charming road names in Singapore.

Tras Street was named in 1981 after a Malaysian town called Tras – a simple but cool origin story that adds character to this well-loved part of town. (Source: NLB) This is another reminder that road names in Singapore often reflect regional connections and forgotten stories than we know.

4. Why? Because I am a “Goodman”.

Indeed, everyone loves a good (wo)man because a good (wo)man is genuinely hard to come by.

Goodman Road is named after Arthur Mitchell Goodman, who served as the Resident Councillor of Penang in 1933 and later became Governor of the Straits Settlements during World War I. (Source: NLB) A solid name with a respectable legacy, just like the image you’re trying to project through these clever road names in Singapore pick-up lines.

5. I am someone who is “International” in communicating my thoughts and feelings

We all want a partner who communicates openly, and even better, one who is internationally good at it. This playful line channels confidence while taking inspiration from yet another memorable entry among the road names in Singapore.

6. Don’t be scared to be “a-LEONIE”

Being “a-Leonie” can be scary, but being with the wrong person is scarier! Cue “Scared to be Lonely” by Martin Garrix

Leonie Road was a popular location for affluent European and Chinese settlers in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Today, its name reminds us that sometimes, being brave enough to stand alone is an essential step toward finding the right connection. Yes, it’s another layered meaning behind road names in Singapore.

7. When there are differences in opinions, why don’t you just meet me in the “Middle“?

A wiseman once said “Happiness can be found in the darkest of times, if only one remembers to turn on the light”. IYKYK. Differences are bound to happen in any relationship, but what truly matters is committing to work things out together.

As early as 1822, there were official records of Middle Road, making it one of the oldest road names in Singapore. (Source: NLB)

8. When you cry, I promise I will stay “Still”

It’s comforting to have someone who stays by your side and offers a shoulder to cry on during life’s gloomiest moments. This heartfelt line is inspired by Still Road, one of the more sentimental road names in Singapore.

Fun fact: Do you know that Still Road was renamed from Lorong 210 East Coast after the passing of Alexander William Still, the former Chief Editor of The Straits Times? (Source: NLB)

9. You make me a “Happy-ier” person.

That said, we wish you nothing but happiness! After all, love, like many road names in Singapore, is a journey best taken together.

10. One day, we will have a beautiful “Union” together.

If you’ve read this far, thank you for patiently bearing with our pun‑filled exploration of road names in Singapore. 💖

While many enjoy these goodies at home, our STRIDES Premier driver-partners are often on the road throughout the festive period. In between trips, they turn to their favourite CNY snacks for a quick boost – hence, we’ve collated some of the top CNY goodies our driver-partners swear by to power through the hustling CNY season.  

Here are their top CNY snacks picks! 

1. Pineapple Tarts

When it comes to classic CNY snacks, pineapple tarts are hard to beat. With their buttery crust and sweet, tangy pineapple filling, it’s no surprise they made it to the list of CNY snacks of our driver-partners. Symbolising wealth and prosperity, pineapple tarts are more than just delicious, they are a tasty way for our drivers to usher in good fortune for the year ahead too!

2. Love Letters

Did you know that traditionally, young lovers would write secret love notes to each other and roll them up inside delicate and crispy wafers? That’s how love letters got their name! Given that Valentine’s Day is just a few days before CNY this year, it would be a cute idea to stock up on the best love letters in Singapore and munch on them with your significant other! The festive crunch and lightness of these wafers also make them perfect for a quick snack on the go for our driver-partners! 

P.S.: Once you start having one wafer, you can’t stop yourself from having seconds! 

Where to find the best love letters in Singapore: 

3. Bak Kwa

Bak kwa has roots in ancient China, where families preserved meat by grilling and airdrying it, often saving it for special occasions. Over time, this evolved into the tender, charcoal-grilled slices we know today. Because meat was considered a luxury in the past, Bak kwa became associated with prosperity and abundance, which is why it remains a popular staple during CNY. We can totally see why Bak kwa is an ultimate go-to CNY snack for our driver-partners! One of the driver-partners we spoke to tell us that eating Bak kwa gives him strength to work! 

Where to find the best bak kwa in Singapore: 

4. Kueh Bangkit

These crispy cookies are a nostalgic favourite among CNY goodies because it symbolises purity and a fresh start. Its name literally means “to rise”, representing prosperity and growth in the year ahead.

Made primarily with tapioca flour and coconut milk, kueh bangkit melts in your mouth and has a delicate coconut flavour that many grew up with. For those who enjoy something less sweet but still rich in tradition, this is the perfect CNY snack to reach for!

5. Kueh Lapis

Kueh Lapis is a layered cake made with butter, eggs and spices, offering a unique and sweet decadent flavour that is satisfying and indulgent. Beyond its taste, kueh lapis is a popular CNY snack because its many layers symbolise longevity, prosperity, and the idea of “layered” blessings in the year ahead. The labour-intensive baking process also reflects patience and dedication, values often associated with welcoming a new year.

Types of EV Chargers 

First and foremost, it is crucial to establish the two main types of charging: Alternating Current (AC) and Direct Current (DC). AC chargers are more common across each EV charging station, while DC chargers offer faster charging for drivers who need a quicker turnaround.  

AC Charging

• How it works: Grid AC power goes to the car, and the onboard charger converts it to DC to charge the battery. 

• Speed: Slower (e.g., hours for a full charge). 

• Best for: Home, workplace, overnight charging, daily commutes. 

• Cost: Cheaper. 

 
DC Charging 

• How it works: Power is converted to DC before it reaches the car, bypassing the onboard charger for faster delivery directly to the battery. 

• Speed: Very fast (e.g., 18-30 mins for 80%). 

• Best for: Road trips, quick charges on the go. 

• Cost: More expensive 

Knowing the difference will help you to find the right EV charger in Singapore for your daily routine! 

The good news? Charging your EV has never been easier. With the rise of public chargers, the convenience of finding where to charge your EV in Singapore is at an all-time high. The challenge?

What are cross border taxi services?

STRIDES Premier offers a convenient cross border taxi service that takes you comfortably between Singapore and Malaysia. You can board from any location in Singapore (even the far east like Tampines or Pasir Ris) and travel directly to Johor Larkin Sentral Terminal. Likewise, you can also board from Larkin Sentral to any destination in Singapore. Whether it’s a one-way ride or a round trip, you’re free to choose what works best for your travel needs. 

How much will the Singapore-Johor taxi service cost?

For a return round-trip for 4 passengers, the flat fee starts as low as S$120 depending on your pick-up and drop-off location.  

If you need a one-way Singapore-Johor taxi service, it goes as affordable as S$60 flat fee per taxi if you are taking from Ban San Street Terminal. For any other locations in Singapore (except for Changi Airport or Seletar Airport), it is S$80 flat fee. Otherwise, it would be S$120 flat fee from both Changi Airport and Seletar Airport. Do note that any additional stops in Singapore will be charged via the meter fare. 

You can refer to the table below for the prices: 

What payment methods are accepted?

Only cash payment in the respective currency denomination is accepted for all cross-border taxi trips to Johor Larkin Sentral Terminal. 

How many passengers can the cross-border taxi service ferry?

STRIDES Premier Taxis can ferry up to 4 passengers in a single journey. 

Where can you take the cross-border taxi service from?

From drop-off and pick-up services within Singapore, you are free to choose your preferred location. Within Johor Bahru, all drop-off and pick-up services will only be strictly from Johor Larkin Sentral Terminal. 

Johor Larkin Sentral Terminal is the official pick-up and drop-off point for licensed cross-border taxi services. Located beside the largest bus terminal in Johor Bahru, it offers convenient access to popular spots: just a 10–15 minute taxi ride to KSL or 20 minutes to Mid Valley Southkey. 

Can STRIDES Premier guarantee arrival time at Larkin Sentral?

No. Due to unpredictable traffic conditions at the immigration checkpoints, STRIDES Premier is unable to guarantee an exact arrival time at Johor Larkin Sentral. Passengers are advised to plan accordingly, especially if connecting to other transport services. Please note that STRIDES Premier is not liable for any delays or missed connections resulting from traffic congestion. 

What is the immigration clearance process?

Singaporeans and foreigners can use Malaysia’s National Integrated Immigration System (NIISe) for QR code-based clearance at Johor checkpoints. Groups may register via the MyNIISe app and clear immigration using a single QR code, helping to reduce wait times. Please note that passports are still required for verification.  

That said, immigration regulations may change over time. Passengers are strongly advised to check the latest requirements and ensure that all essential documents are prepared and readily available before the trip.
