I like my men the way I like my food 🍜
I’m not a dessert person 🎂🧁🍮🍫 Sweet tooth? Not for me, save ice-cream 🍦 Same goes for men. Those overly sweet gestures that the male lead extends to the female lead? Yes, no doubt I’ll go “aww… that’s sweet” When I picture myself in the female lead’s shoes, it’s a different story 🤪 Sweet = st

Love didn’t fade… the dating did
Recently, I attended a self-development workshop. Interestingly, many weren’t just there to work on themselves. They were there because something at home wasn’t working. Some were trying to save their marriages, while some were trying to repair relationships with their kids. Hence this made m

Where do you draw the line?
Everyone talks about about red flags 🚩what about grey areas? 🤔 When we first started dating, my then boyfriend (now husband) already had two permanent female fixtures in his life. One is his ride-or-die buddy since secondary school. The other is a former crush turned long-time good friend.

Do opposites attract & does it work out?
At my Valentine’s Day Love by Design workshop, we used the Enneagram as our compass for navigating the dating world. A participant raised the million dollar question: how can we use enneagram to find a suitable partner? Choose someone whose top 5 scores mirror yours. We tend to connect faster to

Since when does love have an expiry date?
Held my first event of the year Love by Design on the actual Valentine's day itself. Before enrolling for my workshop, I had a participant who asked me, “Is there an age limit for participants?” What would your answer be? Without missing a beat, my reply was, “Love has no age limit.” Your

Who do you choose this Valentine’s Day?
This photo was taken a few months before I met Mr. I was clueless that my life was going to change for the better 😏 In secondary school, fresh out of an all girls’ bubble, Valentine’s Day was never about boys. It was Galentine’s before it was cool. Chocolates passed around like currency 🍫 C

Takeaways from bad dates
For the longest time, I tried to be easier to love- gentler, quieter, less opinionated, less strong aka less myself. I thought if I one of the above, someone would finally stay. So I started dating men who were the complete opposite of my type. One day, I caught myself thinking, “Why am I doi

What did dating apps teach me?
I came to a point where I hated myself, why do I keep attracting men who kept repeating this, “I like your company but I’m not ready to settle down”. Was there something wrong with me? Why can’t I attract a single decent man? So dating apps didn’t teach me how to swipe better. They taught me ho

The things we don’t say & what they cost us
Fast forward to now, I asked my husband a hypothetical. “If we were dating back then, would you have been okay with me attending a singles’ event?” Without missing a beat, he said yes. “As long as you were clear about your intentions.” Secure. Calm. Unbothered 😍 This is 1 of the many reaso

The year I chose myself & met my husband
The ONE thing that led me to meeting my husband? I gave up. Like… properly gave up. I did it ALL - 💸 Matching agency (yes, my mum paid $888 for the membership… still not over it 🤪) 👯‍♀️ SDN singles’ events 📱 Every dating app known to mankind: Tinder, CMB ☕️🥯, Paktor, Bumble (what else even ba

Friendly or flirty part IV
I certainly haven’t forgotten about my objective- converting 🌮 into a client. Hence this calls for round 2 of lunch which took forever to happen- work trips, schedules, life doing its thing. When he went overseas, I casually teased, “Are you getting me a gift 🎁” He agreed without hesitation! 😳 Bol

Friendly or flirty part III
The day finally came- our lunch meetup. Me being me, I got there early. Gave the service staff his name and… surprise, surprise, the man actually made a reservation 😏 I tried not to read too much into it. I suppose there is nothing wrong with 2 friends making reservations to have lunch? This shows

Friendly or flirty part II
My boss hosted a celebration for all the awardees for those who did well. My two girlfriends + Mr came to cheer me on. We ended up seated right in front of the stage, front row seats, how cool eh? 😉 The VIP booths along the wall looked like something straight out of a club… and guess who I spott

Friendly or flirty part I
Here’s the tea 🍵: For me, flirting comes as naturally as breathing. I have this tendency to give people nicknames to close the distance between us. At times it can come across as flirting, it is just my way of loosing them up to close that gap. Let’s call him 🌮 We were having our usual morni

I nearly thought a goal digger was my tribe
So I was chatting with Croissant 🥐 about this convo I had with Mr Meatballs 🧆 on how some alpha females still expect men to foot the bill for everything. I totally didn’t expect see 🥐 reaction coming to hit me in my face that way… “Does he know what it feels like to bleed once a month, wear a

The mystery of men’s “ex-files”
I needed some clarity from Mr Meatballs 🧆 about his very colourful comments on his ex-fiancé. I felt bad about painting him in a bad light, hence we me to straighten it out. He said that he still cares for her, she was his first love 💗 and apparently there’s this saying that men never forget the

When the timing is right yet the feeling isn’t 😳
“Men marry when the timing is right, not necessarily the woman they love the most”- this was told to me by Mr meatballs 🧆 Translated to when the time comes, many would rather choose a woman they love less yet gives them peace of mind ☮️ 🆚 versus one who drives them crazy with passion 🔥 That

Can 🩷 put food on the table- alpha female dilemma
Over lunch with Mr meatballs 🧆 I hadn’t seen in over a decade, the conversation took a surprising turn. Mr meatballs 🧆 reached out to me because he was looking into maternity insurance, yet we ended up delving into a topic that was much deeper. He has a thing for alpha females. Not surprising

Did I create unexpected chemistry? (Part II) 😳🧪🔥
So I just wrapped my final shoot, the last part of my 4-part 20th anniversary celebration. It was supposed to be business as usual… until it wasn’t. She walked in looking a little different, it was subtle but everything added up- hair styled a little differently up, a tinge of blush, colored con
