So some of you may know that Singapore has these government-related dating services.  It's supposed to be for the good of society you know, encourage marriage, likely have more kids.  And if marry of same intellect, then maybe good genetic base for smarter kids. 

Anyway, the government knows if your marital status.  And they do try.  Like so.

My dad emailed me the other that I had received a letter from the newly combined entity that was SDU and SDS (those government-related dating services).  He even went as far as to email me the website, my userID and password as well as the letter reminder to change my password in 30 days.  (I guess that's his way of hinting to me)

So I couldn't resist, I logged on.  It's like Personals for Singaporeans, on government money.  They require me to fill out every single field when I register, as if they didn’t know enough about me already.  Didn't spend too long on the website, but my first reaction was, "Ugh, so tacky." Perhaps it was the name that put me off - Lovebyte. 

But you can't fault them for trying.  Gotta respect them for their perseverance, keeping up with times and all that.  Can you imagine if your KPI was the number of weddings net of divorces, or something similar?  I don't want that job.

Oh, the website is lovebyte.org.sg.  So if you're single, Singaporean, and haven't received your account information yet, you should go sign up.  Maybe you'll meet someone nice.  All the best!
