I’ve had a good, or rather, great start to 2006! It seems like what my special long time friend Johnny Poh said, he feels that good things will be coming my way this year. And so it is!
For the past year, I’ve done much more self-reflections and stretching myself more than I had. I’m happy that I got to understand myself better, and I still am discovering myself each and every day.
I just finished an interview with a journalist, and we talked on the topic of, what else, but the singles here in Singapore. Are we unique in our situation here in Singapore, where singles find getting a partner a challenge to them? I’m afraid we could be, with bustling counterparts like Hong Kongers and Taiwanese as the yardstick.
Having worked in Hong Kong for more than a year, it is not difficult to see how the locals are able to socialise and mingle with ease, even when they are meeting new people. We, on the other hand, tend to shy away from new friends when being introduced to your usual group, and unless spoken to, tend not to be the one to initiate a conversation.
Happy 2006 to all of you out there. May the singles find love, and may the attached be even more attached.
LOVE, Kloudiia
