Kkat shared an interesting link in a recent comment (here), and the article is entitled “Proposal Planners: If You’re Ready to Pop the Question”. It’s about a new line of professionals who specialise in planning your wedding proposal. So whereas in the past we used to only have wedding planners, now we have “proposal planners” [...]

Favourite Romantic Comedies Of All Time
Friday, 30 December, 2011
Romantic comedies happen to be one of my favourite genres of film. I love the frivolity of it all, and the fact that for all its predictability, it still never fails to make you go “awww”. (Well, at least the good ones do that.) I say “frivolous” because at the end of the day, it’s [...]
Proposal From “Runaway Bride”
Friday, 30 December, 2011
ST left a comment a few posts earlier (here) and shared this interesting clip from “Runaway Bride”, which showed a rare occurrence of a lady proposing to a man. Now I’ve never seen “Runaway Bride” before (I’m guessing it’s one of the more missable of Julia Roberts’ romantic comedies?), but I found this scene strangely [...]
Wedding Proposals
Friday, 23 December, 2011
For some strange reason I have been coming across a few wedding proposal video clips on social media the past week or so. Recently there was one about a flash mob at the Singapore Flyer, which was actually a wedding proposal in disguise. (It’s 12 minutes worth of epic drama, I couldn’t bring myself to [...]
“We Are Who We’ve Loved” By Sumiko Tan
Monday, 19 September, 2011
As you might probably know by now, I’m usually highly dismissive of Sumiko Tan’s columns. But after she’s written so many columns of questionable quality over the years, I guess she was finally due for a good one. No, but seriously folks, I thought her article in yesterday’s Sunday Times (entitled “We Are Who We’ve [...]
“Forever”…A New Local Romantic Comedy
Thursday, 3 March, 2011
Criticising a local film always makes me feel dirty, as if I had smashed a kid’s toys or honked at an elderly pedestrian. Especially so when a film such as “Forever” took a long time to make, and when it is directed by Wee Li Lin, an accomplished local director who seems like a really [...]
“Are Singaporean Women Marriage Material?”
Tuesday, 22 February, 2011
Source: Yahoo! Singapore News – “Are Singaporean women marriage material?” You know I can’t possibly chance upon an article like this and not give it at least a mention on this blog, right? The moment I read this article on Yahoo! Singapore, I was like “Ho ho, here we go again! Let the gender wars [...]
C’mon Singaporeans…Date For Goodness Sake!
Monday, 30 August, 2010
I recently read that the government, through MCYS, is launching a campaign to “promote dating among its notoriously love-shy singles.” Article (here). To quote: “The Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports (MCYS) issued a tender this month through the government’s official procurement website calling for proposals on how to encourage singles to date…No details [...]
Thoughts On Sumiko’s Marriage
Friday, 25 June, 2010
It’s not every day that Singapore’s most famous female columnist gets married, so I thought I’d milk it for all it’s worth. I’ve been getting mad hits on this blog since this morning like you won’t believe, all searching for “Sumiko Tan” and “Hurricane”. Seems like she’s still a very popular figure here in Singapore. [...]
Dreams Do Come True
Friday, 25 June, 2010
This is breaking news so I thought I’d better post my thoughts on it. Earlier today my friend messaged me telling me that Sumiko Tan is getting married (here), to which I replied “No wonder I’ve been getting so many hits on my blog today for searches on ‘Sumiko Tan’!” Well, the reason why this [...]
