Make sure you stay hydrated!

What y’all looking forward to this month? I’m just glad to clear off a bunch of work stuff and I got various craft and preloved markets to look forward to.

Yes. I am right now, one of the best versions of myself emotionally and psychologically. I would love to spend some time with someone who geeks about the same things, committed to learning and growth, and wouldn’t have a problem with taking time away from each other to still be our own person.

I sokong this idea.

Doesn’t have to be lunch. Could be a post-work outing with another one or two colleagues who are good at breaking the ice and knows the agenda.

And then ditch F31 and M28 halfway.

Wow, this is harder to answer than I thought.

Yes to relatively normal, well-taken photos showing the person in a range of activities/places/moods. They are only showing their personality and interests, after all.

No to:

• only group photos
• no photos of the person at all, just items or abstract pics
• 3-5 of the same front camera, looking-down-at-phone photo
• photos that seem outdated, especially if it’s of an older man with one child (classic scammer)
• holding a fish

There could be minimal screening for age range and other basic criteria, but speed dating is just giving people a limited amount of time to swap vibes with another person before they decide if they would like to see the other person again. For matchmaking, I expect a more thorough screening.

But your experience sounds rather dodgy, like she was screening for people who have the money.

OMG yes, Sima Aunty is so entertaining. I can’t wait for the next season.

Jewish Matchmaking was a bit hard to get into for some reason, but I gave it another go recently and finished it.

This is based on The Button.

I cant find the photos anymore, but I once went to a masquerade dinner wearing a Cyclops mask - similar to this but it ends under the nose. I bought it in KL during Halloween season from one of those popular shops selling these kinds of things. It was surprisingly good quality. I even stuck false eyelashes over the one eye. All night long, people were asking me if I could see through that mask and the answer is yes. My glasses even fit under it. I still miss it.

Sounds like fun. If they don’t specify what kind of mask to wear, get the weirdest one you can find.
