Little Red Dot Press - Rich, Single and unwanted...

The Sunday Times bug have struck again. Fodder for gossip!
===
Today, a rich, attractive, 42 year old lady play coy for the camera. The article? Rich, attractive and single.

That is the key word - Single, or Singlehood.

The leading lady here, lamented how hard it is to find a mate, even harder to find a date, after her 13-year relationship soured.

In her most lonely nights, she even resorted to call her ex-husband out for a date, a movie. But got the cold splash of reality poured onto her.

A real serious QUESTION - Is it really that hard to get a date in Singapore?

Or is singlehood now, is becoming the 'healthier' choice among Singaporeans?

The daily grindings of work leave most of the middle-income group breathless after one day. According to sources, there are some CBD-ians (office-going staff working in CBD) stay as late as 2-3 am before heading home and returning to work by 8 to 9 am in the morning.

Looking at a another perspective, could it be the rat race; the pursuit, the dream of a luxurious life be the cause of all these relationship problems?

In retrospect, the older generation had less problems than us, though they faced more physically challenges in life.

I must agree, that life was much simpler for them, be it simple porridge and salted fish or salted eggs for the matter, or a strawbed for the night's rest.

Given the disparity in life, I ponder, does the pursuit of a luxurious lifestyle have to be tied with the notion of big condos, fanciful cars, famous (and not to mention, expensive) handbags?

OR a more fufilling life, filled with less worries, more time to smell the flowers, listen to the birds sing or even chase after the butterflies (which are a rarity nowadays, ironic to say despite being in a GARDEN City)

So question for the weekend: Is the lifestyle we are adopting killing us slowly?

So much for the Little Red Dot Press, after a long absence.
