Ask Violet: Am I Unwanted, Ugly and Worthless?
Sat, 04 Feb 2012 01:16:36 | Violet


Dear Violet, My experiences in dating has been nothing but a complete failure. I read your success stories on how couples have found true love on net dating sites or through social events or other avenues.  I tried being more socially active since many years ago when I was an undergraduate. I tried net dating, [...]

Year 2011 in Review: What is Success?
Sun, 01 Jan 2012 19:08:57 | Violet


2011 is another of those years where I look back and think… "Is this one of those years that has just passed by unceremoniously?" Because as compared to say 2010, I can't seem to identify one single successful milestone. When I shared this with Jamie, he said, "You are being too hard on yourself. Look [...]

“Violet, why are you SO desperate?”
Sat, 24 Dec 2011 10:49:38 | Violet


I dreamt of getting married by the age of 26. Yes, when I was growing up, that was my goal. To get married by the time I am 26, and to have my first child when I am 28. I am very blessed… when I finally got married, I actually 'beat' my goal by a [...]

Seeking Perfection?
Wed, 14 Dec 2011 16:23:47 | Violet


Have not updated my blog in months. And the significant other has started to nag me. 'When was the last time you blogged?' he asked. The reason for the lack of blog posts is usually the same. The lack of time. Or more often the lack of inspiration. And I guess, the truth is… The [...]

Movie Review: Love in Space 全球热恋
Thu, 08 Sep 2011 01:30:31 | Violet


Honestly, I was quite put off with the movie title at first. Love in Space? Hmm… However, I was attracted to the star-studded cast (Aaron Kwok, Eason Chan, Rene Liu, Xu Fan, Angelababy), and hey, it's a love comedy after all right? Thus, when offered a pair of tickets by omy.sg to catch the preview screening, [...]

How to Snag a Great Guy 101
Wed, 10 Aug 2011 01:23:53 | Violet


Recently, an associate shared with me that she and another colleague of ours are very envious of me, because I have snagged such a great guy. My hubby Jamie comes across as a good husband as well as a good father. They even said that my hubby's type of man is probably in extinction. It [...]

“It was not love at first sight…”
Thu, 04 Aug 2011 10:53:11 | Violet


People have often asked me, "When a first date does not progress beyond a second date, what is the main reason?" The answer given by singles is often the same. "No chemistry." When people talk about chemistry, they are hoping to feel the sparks, the 'electricity' or the flutter in the heart. But honestly, if [...]

Till We Meet Again On That Beautiful Shore
Wed, 25 May 2011 03:58:04 | Violet


Close to two years ago, I made a 20 hours journey from Singapore to Rochester, United States with much joy and happiness in my heart as I was going to witness the happy union between two wonderful individuals, my best friend Dr Yap Tsiao Yi and her boyfriend of 9 years Dr Tan Tow Shung. [...]

Wow, time really flies… I just realised that I have not blogged for 3 months! Sorry for the long absence as I have been very busy with the business, especially our new branch in Taipei, as well as spending time with our family…! And of course, in recent weeks, I have been one of the [...]

No Strings Attached?
Thu, 10 Feb 2011 01:22:28 | Violet


When I first saw the 'No Strings Attached' trailer, I thought to myself… I would like to watch this show… mainly because I have always enjoyed Natalie Portman's acting. Hence, when OMY Blog Club sent out an email to say that they had 40 preview tickets available, I jumped at the chance to be one [...]
