A man was extremely troubled, and went to the sage for some advice. “My problem”, the man said, “is not that I can’t find anyone to marry.” “How do you mean?” the sage asked. “I’ve fallen in love with three of the most beautiful girls I’ve ever met in my life, and for the life [...]

We Can’t Go On Hurting Each Other
Sunday, 19 February, 2012
It’s a scary world we live in. I cannot try and pretend the growing problem of infidelity doesn’t exist. We’ve read about it happening to high-profile people in other countries for a number of years. And recently, the problem has hit closer to home. It would be unnecessary to list down all the examples, because [...]
Wedding Proposals (Part II)
Monday, 2 January, 2012
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 [...]
What’s Height Got To Do With It? A Lot, Apparently
Monday, 21 November, 2011
I guess this topic just doesn’t seem to go away. Recently there was a spate of articles based on some findings done by Lunch Actually that concluded that “Singaporean women are not open to dating shorter men”. You can read the readers’ comments for yourself on the Yahoo article (here). And today’s Sunday New Paper [...]
“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 [...]
Sumiko Tan: “Call Me A Tiger Wife”
Monday, 30 May, 2011
Sigh, I hate to do this but it looks like I have to call out Sumiko Tan once again over her latest column in yesterday’s Sunday Times. I just couldn’t stop shaking my head while reading it. Why do you do this to us, Sumiko? Y’know, I can’t figure out if she’s trying to be [...]
“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 [...]
