We've compiled a list of ideas to make this Father's Day an unforgettable one.

5. Singtel releases short film for Father's Day
In honour of how Father's Day also celebrates family bonds that transcend biological ties, Singtel has released a short film titled First Father's Day.
The 1min 25sec clip shines a light on fatherly figures who play a vital role in nurturing and enriching families.
Featuring couple Raju and Bee Geok from Singtel's campaign film Hello Possibilities, the short film introduces Bee Geok's daughter Vanessa, who has always kept Raju at a distance but has finally accepted him as a paternal figure who has showered her family with unconditional love and support over the years.
The heartfelt video will bring a tear to your eye and make you appreciate families of all kinds.
Happy Father's Day!
