Then, I heard the good stories.

This girl met a guy. They got married 3 months later. According to unnamed sources, the guy looks a little like Leon Lai.

My friend's friend met a guy. Apparently quite a good catch and he does not look nerdy.

So I took the plunge.

I took so long to crap up my self description (minimum 250 words) that the session expired (probably because I was also watching a Bollywood movie at the same time).

"I am a cheerful outgoing person who enjoys the thrill of new experiences. This probably explains why I love travelling to new places. My favourite city is New York and I would love to visit Russia, Egypt and South America. I love photography as well, especially taking black and white pictures. Besides travelling and photography, my next great love is shopping. I cannot resist a sale, particularly for clothes and shoes."

Then for Describe what you are looking for:

"I would like to meet people who have a keen sense of adventure and are open minded to new ideas. Hopefully, they should be humorous and witty. Most importantly, they do not have to share my passions, but at least willing to share their interests."

The last sentence was to fulfil the 200 words minimum limit.

I got my first reply on Thursday.

I was excited. He sounded quite nice from his message. Said that he chanced upon my personal while surfing and saw me carrying my Nikon. He has an old Nikon too and would like to be my photography buddy.

I searched for his personal. He was a 30 year old Engineer.

Posing with a big fish he caught.

It was a really big fish. Since I'm not allowed to do a print screen of his picture, the drawing above is my rendition of the BIG DEAD FISH.

Have I ever told you I don't like fishing because it's a cruel hobby?

P/S: And he looks nerdy. Still deciding if I should reply his message or to take down my SDU personal.
