Being single...whats wrong?

Met up with chikun and zhaoyu for supper at Liquid Kitchen in Upper Thomson Road. Hmm.. A nice place to chill out, but the mocktail i had was horrible... zhaoyu appears tired, probably because she is still recovering from jetlag. However i can sense that everyone seem to be feeling very moody. I didnt probe further, everyone is entitled to their own personal secrets, and if they want, they will tell me... but my guess is that quarter life crisis has a part to play, and also the fact that they need someone to fill that void in their lives.. well.. me too ah.. haha.. if this is a sampling of the age 24-26 population, no wonder SDU is so worried, and is actively involved in student's activities, promoting companionships among the undergraduates...

one of the finest example of how enthuastic SDU is in trying to pair up young undergraduates is the 500 pairs 'secret pals' meeting organised by NTU. Another example will be this email that i received in my mailbox recently.

My first reaction to this mail was "KAO... I know i am still single, i know i need a company at some point of my life... but I dont need the government or any other agencies to keep harping on that. Much less the need for someone to conduct a course LVE1101 on how to find that special someone...

haiz.... what is wrong with being single...
