The search now extends to Hong Kong. Haha. But to be honest, I haven&#8217;t been very earnest in my search for Mr Right. Actually, I haven&#8217;t been searching. Period. So I must admit that I don&#8217;t exactly try hard enough. WHERE and HOW do you meet people without having to go to bars and clubs????<br \/>\nI suppose for the rest of us who aren&#8217;t so lucky to have Mr\/Miss Right fall from the sky through some serendipitous encounter, or have friends who hook you up with people, meeting people really does require some work. It&#8217;s like looking for the perfect job, dammit.<br \/>\nI had been chatting online to several single friends on different occasions and was saying to them that it&#8217;s lonely being in HK. But really, I feel this loneliness even in Singapore, it&#8217;s just that the feeling&#8217;s more acute in HK because I know fewer people here.<br \/>\nI&#8217;ve been single for far too long. While I do sometimes appreciate the ease in which I can make decisions about what I want to do without having to take into consideration someone else, I actually really want to be able to share my life with a special someone.<br \/>\nMonoceros and I sometimes wonder if we&#8217;re in love with the idea of being in love. Perhaps. But hey, I think there&#8217;s no shame in saying that we want to be with someone. I think it&#8217;s taken me a while to come to terms with that admission. In the not too distant past, I&#8217;d have seen that as a sign of weakness. However, I think differently now and see it as simply human nature.<br \/>\nSo to those of us still searching for love, may the message in the picture above come true for us!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Image source: www.flickr.com\/photos\/moreinterpretations\/ Yes yes, I&#8217;m still very much single and searching for Mr Right.
