I think we should do an escape room activity for your birthday. I know you adore solving puzzles and you are a huge thrill seeker. This escape room activity will not only test your puzzle solving skills but also your speed as we have to escape before the time runs out. Your love for puzzle solving, along with the fact you enjoy a thrilling and immersive adventure, is why i think you would love to celebrate your birthday this way by participating in this interesting activity.

i think this activity will be really meaningful to us as we rarely get to see each other since you live in Australia and this escape room activity allows us to spend a whole afternoon together solving puzzles and hunting for clues. This activity will also test our team work and problem solving skills. Unfortunately i do not share your genius in puzzle solving, so you could show me the ropes during this activity and i could learn a thing or two from you.

I think that you would love to go to the baking class. I heard that you tried to bake a chocolate cake for your mother’s birthday, but it burnt. I think that this will be a great opportunity for you to learn how to bake a properly cake so that when it is your mother’s birthday you can make her a cake and impress her with your baking skills. You will be learning to bake a cake from expert bakers. So I am sure you can become an expert baker after this activity!

I think that this would be a meaningful outing for the both of us. I have an interest in learning how to bake. Since we two would like to learn how to bake I think this would be meaningful to us. Since it has also been a long time since I have met you, I would like to know you are by doing this activity together with you.

i think that we should go for the baking class as you have always told me about how you would love to learn how to bake and this is the perfect time as the baking class will allow us to learn various baking methods. We do not need to worry so much about our end product being bad as we will be baking our own cakes under the

guidance of their expert bakers. Not only will you be able to learn a skill that you've wanted to learn but also be able to make lasting memories with your cousin. I feel that this outing will be meaningful for the both of us as when we were young our grandmother used to bake us cookies and afterwards we would watch a movie together. I really miss that old tradition we had but once we learn how to bake we can continue with that tradition allowing us to relive some fantastic childhood memories. Even though the things that we bake might not be food as we hoped but we can try again and try harder building the value of resilience in us.

I personally think that we should try out this baking class at Doughworkz Studio on 20th December, from 12 to 3pm. Recently, my mother shared with me that you will be schooling in one of the best culinary schools in Australia next year. This will give you the opportunity to practice your baking skills with the help of expert bakers who will guide us through out the baking session. We will be able to learn the various kinds of baking methods and techniques. Therefore, you will be able to master these techniques and apply them to your classes in the future. Other than that, you will enjoy your time there too! We will be able to get creative with unique cake decorations and establishments. There will probably be a ton of cute toppings to simply make our cakes appetizing. Perhaps frosting and sprinkles! Then, we will be able to decorate our own cakes together and impress everyone with our creativity. This will for sure bring us back to the times when we were younger. I could still recall the first time we baked a cake in our old house. we used all the chocolate sprinkles in our cakes and made a huge mess, it was hilarious! However, we did try our best without giving up. Upon this activity, it will reminisce that specific time we baked that cake together and it sure was nostalgic.

I would like to bring you to Xcape’s Escape Room as both of us are thrill-seekers, and we can use our advanced investigation skills from school to work together and hunt for clues to find a way to escape. There will also be a timer to step the game up to a whole new level of fun, and it will help train us up in our ability to work together or alone under stress for future examinations or timed practices. Not only that, but we also get to spend some quality bonding time together over a mind-boggling mystery, along with applying some problem-solving skills and teamwork to escape.

This outing will be a meaningful one to both of us as it teaches us many values and forges a memorable birthday experience in Singapore. For example, escaping the escape room will require perseverance to keep going on, meticulousness to not leave any stone unturned, and teamwork to find the exit together. Therefore, I would love to bring you to the Escape room.

I think that we should go to the Doughworkz Studio for your birthday. Remember when you were young, you told me that your lifelong dream and passion was to open a bakery, but you don't know where to start and don't have an oven to bake pastries in. You even told me that you think that you would never become a baker and will never learn how to bake a cake, but I will not let that happen. This is finally your chance to take your first step into making your dream come through! At Doughworkz Studio, we get to learn different baking methods and techniques and also bake our own cakes under the guidance of expert bakers. This will be something new for both of us, and it is also your chance to finally experience how it is like to bake your own cake. After we bake the cakes, we can also customize our lovely cakes with decorations and embellishments. Since it is also your birthday, I will decorate this cake for you like a birthday cake to celebrate your 17th birthday. This would be such a meaningful experience as you are able to finally try out something that you never imagined you could do and we also got to celebrate your birthday together, with both of us knowing that we have learnt something new.

I think we should try the escape room activity for your birthday during the December school holidays. Both of us will definitely enjoy it as we are both thrill seekers. This escape room will require us to work together and also solves puzzles. I knew that you have a passion in solving puzzles so this activity will definitely suits you the most. It will also require you to go full speed and finish within time limit. This makes the escape room a lot more competitive and thrilling. As you should know by now, we are both competitive, so we are definitely going to enjoy the whole adventure.

This outing will certainly be meaningful for us as we could spend quality time together without being distracted by our mobile devices. When we are in the escape room, we have no chance of using phones as we are focusing on solving puzzles. It will also test and improves our teamwork with one another which i believe can be better. As you are finally back to Singapore, I hope you can enjoy the time here and spend quality time together.

I think that you will really enjoy the art jamming at BoulevArt Studio. After all, you have been mentioning about how you've been wanting to get better at art. This activity will teach you about the basics of painting and I'm sure that once you have your basics down, you can work up from there! There is no right or wrong when it comes to painting so you can freely express yourself with your brush strokes which I think is perfect for someone creative like you.
I think that this outing will be meaningful to the both of us as we don't really spend a lot of time together as you live all the way in Australia while I'm here in Singapore. By painting together, we could take our time to relax together and just paint out what we're feeling. Whether it be places we're familiar with or people with hang out with or even just random brush strokes. Moreover, we get to take home whatever we had just painted so even when we're several countries apart, we can look at these paintings and remember the time we spent together.

I came across a brochure of activities to do on your birthday and I thought that it would be perfect for us to do the art jamming activity. I thought so as I know that you enjoy doing arts and love expressing your thoughts and emotions into your artwork, thus, I thought that you would love to continue doing arts even when overseas. I also thought that this activity would be very meaningful to both of us as we would get to paint our feelings and experiences that we got in Australia with some painting techniques that we will get to learn. I am sure that both, you and I, would love to capture our first trip to Australia as much as possible. Apart from that, we would even get to bring our art pieces home and keep it. It would be the best Souvenir ever!

Remember that time when you told me you were sick and couldn't come to my birthday party? That was the time I went to a very fun escape room! Now that it is your birthday I was wondering if you want to go to Xcape Room for a fun experience there. We can do the escape room together to spend time together on your birthday.

I know how much you enjoy escape rooms as you very over the moon when I brought you to Science Center to experience the Escape Room. We went to so many escape rooms the last few years and espeacially after PSLE. Now that there is a new escape room, we should go and experience it! I know that this year we haven't been hanging out because of our examinations and assesments, so I found a date that we both should be available to hang out. We can go on your birthday as it is in December during the holidays.

Recently, I came across a brochure with some interesting birthday activities which i think you would enjoy.

I came across an activity which I think we should try, It is a escape room! I think we should do the escape room as we have never been to one before, and I remembered you mentioning that you loved problem solving and puzzles and were eager to try the escape rooms in Singapore. The escape room venue is at the Xscape room which is opening on the 17 December from 12pm-3pm. I think this activity would be meaningful to us as we don't get to spend time with each other very often since you live in Australia and this activity will allow us to bond with each other and test out teamwork and strength. I hope you will find this idea fun and let me know what your thoughts are about it!

Maybe some frosting and sprinkles, whatever you fancy. Afterwards, we can showcase our creativity and amaze everyone with our uniquely designed confection. This activity would be really meaningful to the both of us as it would be my first time in awhile seeing you again after many months, it will also allow us some bonding time together! Does that not sound amazing?

I think we should take part in the Baking Class. I think you would enjoy this activity as you enjoy baking a lot and is keen to enhance your baking skills and techniques further. I remember you telling me you wish to improve your skills further but is unsure of how to start. Therefore, with professional guidance, you can pick up the skills quickly such as knowing how to achieve a smooth texture, using the baking instruments properly. Thus, we can actually learn how to make a good tasting cake!

This outing would be very meaningful for the both of us, as the saying goes "food brings us together", we can bond and relive the good times of our childhood before you left for Australia over cooking and enjoying food together. I hope to know how are you doing at Australia and share with me how have you adjusted to living there.
