Single and Lovin’ It! – Vanessa Tai
You know that childhood ditty that goes, “First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes baby in the baby carriage”? As innocuous as this silly little rhyme sounds, it actually sets the tone for many young girls (and boys) to expect that’s how life is supposed to pan out. Meet the love of your life … Read more
How Do You Know You’re In A Relationship? – Denise Li
In a non-Cosmo-approved poll done among my attached friends (like, um, 5 of them), only one say for certain when she entered a relationship. That person is me. I admit, it took a few pints of liquid courage for me to ask him, “So, I’m leaving for Singapore tomorrow. Are we, like, exclusive?”, but the … Read more
A Social Burnout – Deborah Tan
I think I’m at the risk of getting a social burnout. Wait. It’s not what you think. My social calendar isn’t filled with invitations to the most happening parties in Singapore. But managing my appointments is threatening to drive me crazy! In July alone, I’ve double-booked (triple-booked!) myself on so many occasions, my sanity is … Read more

The One Thing That Melts My Heart – Denise Li
There’s no denying it – my fiance, A, is a true-blue jock. His idea of a pre-workout warm-up is a 5k run and few things in life bring him greater pleasure than a few rounds of sparring when he’s at Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) training. I won’t ever need to spend money on a personal … Read more
Hug your man today – Denise Li
I don’t know who perpetuated the myth that all men want to do after sex is sleep and that they hate post-coital cuddles, but whoever’s responsible for that should stop spreading lies. I chanced upon this story as I was clicking through the Cosmo US website this morning, which said cuddling was a predictor of … Read more
Making Long-Distance Love Last – Denise Li
You could say it’s been a year of “never say never” for me. If we were having a conversation and the topic of relationships had come up in April last year, I would have repeated the same few mantras that I’d steadfastly (some say stubbornly) stuck by for the past few years, which were: I … Read more
