the Social Development Unit

Samantha said she wanted to marry me today. Well, she said she one day wanted to get married and that she loves me. I hope that means the same thing. Baby, I don't feel like a really have to marry. I don't believe in the church or the tradition as a whole. It won't make me feel confident in a relationship if I have a ring or not. That doesn't mean that I'm not serious about us. But I know you are brought up differently than me so if you really want. Maybe we should think of me coming in September. I would love to hear you sing on your Dinner-And-Dance evening with your company.

If that doesn't work out there is always the SDU. If you don't know what that is, that's the Social Development Unit. It's a government matchmaking service for university graduates. Check out this article in the Straight Times. "Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong noted in his first National Day Rally speech on Sunday that the nation's singles can afford to be more realistic and accommodating in their expectations." Maybe they should have a campaign together with Carlsberg. I'm thinking of the ad where the woman gets pretties and sexier for each glass of beer.

With regards to the post about Chinese athletes, I have to admit that I really don't know much about it. I can refer to a documentary about Chinese female wrestlers that was pretty heart-breaking. The girls were crying a lot and it didn't look fun at all. The coaches seemed pretty tyrannic. Guess it's not up to me to judge. If these girl's parents and the their governemnt who spend the money think an Olympic gold medal is that important I suppose they can have it. I hope my children never has to go through something like that. Generally I don't know if that's the case. I bet they are not the only place where stuff like that happens. North Korea?

Tomorrow I will have an interview at the local paper and in the afternoon I will talk to mr. Jan Hultegård, the CEO of "Värnamo Näringsliv AB". Suit and tie day.
