The post Why we are different appeared first on Rachael's Diary.

Dear Rachael,

You may not remember me – my name is Jacqueline, one of your old clients. When I first came to your office a few years ago asking for your help, you lent me this book to read.

I have learnt a lot from this book, and I want to thank you for everything. As I was going through my book collection recently, I realized I had not returned the book to you!

So here I am, delivering this book back to you. And I’m sure you will be thrilled to hear that I’m married and have a 22 months old boy, I’m also expecting another baby in Feb 2019. We will be moving to Singapore soon!

So thank you once again!

And all the best!

Jacqueline

The post A story from one of our clients who we helped to find their life partner: appeared first on Rachael's Diary.

1: Many people like to dress up in a horror costume, with fake blood make up on their face. If you are in a relationship and want a fun night out, that’s OK. But if you are single, and have horror makeup on your face, the chances are others won’t see your real face and won’t remember you. Even if you bump into each other again you won’t recognise each other. 

2: Go for the classics: the most eye-catching ones are always a group of more than 2 girls dressing up in uniform or as famous historical people, like Sailor Moon, or superheroes. You will find there are plenty of fake abs six packs and superhero outfits. 

3: When to go out: this year Halloween is on a Wednesday; in my experience, when Halloween falls on a school night, most people will dress up and party the weekend before or after. It’s better to just go out on Friday after work, then dress up on the Saturday.  Like every year, there will be lots of people walking around LKF, but their mood is just to see what the most interesting outfits are out there. Most bars are quiet on that evening…. go out anyway. 

4: Preparation: No matter whether you want to dress up or not, it’s always better to do some research about this special occasion. Are there any interesting parties to go to? What are the themes? In case you want to dress up, can you get an outfit that fits you properly?  Most casual cheap outfits won’t fit. The better way is to buy it earlier and take to a tailor. Study, prepare and have fun! 

Make this Halloween unforgettable. Target to meet at least 5-10 new friends….

Join our Halloween Party…

I was introduced to Rachael and Smith a few weeks ago by a friend who had used their service and recommended it. I have a very busy job & didn’t devote much time to self-grooming. I wasn’t overweight, but I wasn’t fit either. Rachael gave me some great tips about fitness, grooming, dating and encouraged me to quit smoking and join a gym.

I went on a date and was instantly attracted to my partner. As I got to know her, I found that she was both very clever and very funny, which I find irresistible in a lady. I couldn’t believe that I had met someone who combines brains and beauty in such an incredible way. By our third date, I had fallen profoundly and irrevocably in love.

In the past, I was always too busy to devote sufficient time to make a relationship work, but in the past few weeks, we have seen each other every day, which proves that if you really want to be with someone you will find a way or make a way.

We love doing the same things – eating out, being with friends, playing pool, movies, pub quiz & shopping for books are just some of the things we have done together. She makes me the very best person I can be and I will love her forever.

I love general knowledge and challenges – I have participated in a pub quiz pretty much every week for the last 6 years. Now I get a new company to do thing I like to do.

After seeing each other for 22 days in a row, we decided to shop for an engagement ring, throw an engagement party for all of our friends, and plan our wedding and honeymoon.

1. If you are a Westerner, meeting Asian girls … instead of giving a kiss on the cheek, test the waters out to see what makes the lady comfortable.

2. Shaking hands only happen when you are meeting someone for business – DON”T DO THAT ON A DATE. Most European, France, Spain, Italy, and UK men like to greet friends by kissing on both cheeks. Dutch and Belgium will give a cheek kiss 3 times.

3. If you don’t know how to react, just smile which is the near-universal friendliness. Do not act like you never have been kissed on the cheek before. Act like nothing has happened.

4. Make sure you spray cologne/perfume, and that your face is clean and neat, not oily. About perfume: many people are allergic especially to cheap perfume.

5. In Asia, generally speaking, no physical contact on the first date when greeting each other (best to wait until things are more relaxed – a few drinks definitely helps!).
In conclusion, a hug, a gentle touch of the shoulder, a smile on a first date.

He said “Study and practice!”

This applies to all professional jobs, dating, and relationships. Someone also said: I found the harder I work, the luckier I get.

Therefore let’s keep studying and practicing how to be good at dating, a good gentleman/lady, or a good spouse.

You will find the harder you work at it…the luckier you become, and the closer you will get to what you want.
