IT IS that dreaded time of the year again, when nosy family members question the singlehood status of relatives at Chinese New Year reunion dinners.
But now, instead of bracing themselves for interrogation, singles are taking matters into their own hands.
Their solution: Getting friends to pose as romantic partners, seeking help from dating agencies or even hiring social escorts to do the job.
A 29-year-old marketing executive, who wants to be known only as David, said he shuns long-term relationships, preferring to date casually. In fact, many of his dates often accompany him on Chinese New Year family visits.
He said: “I just take one of them along for these events to shut up my relatives. The next time I meet my relatives, I just tell them that we broke up.” Three out of four escort agencies told my paper that the demand for companions increases by 30 to 50 per cent during the festive season.
The owner of Singapore Model Escorts, who wants to be known only as William, said: “(Our male clients’) key concern is they don’t want girls to wear short skirts or look sexy. They should dress conservatively.”
One of his social escorts, Kari, in her 20s, posed as a girlfriend of a working professional at his family reunion dinner last year. She met him only an hour before the gathering to corroborate details such as how they met and how long they had been dating. Kari, who works as a bank executive by day, said: “As we both worked at a bank, we told (his relatives) that we met at work.”
In the end, she pulled off a convincing act in front of her client’s 30 relatives at a Chinese restaurant. The social escort of two years said: “They even told us that we look good together.” She was paid $1,600 for that job. Kari said: “I got paid a lot just to socialise and that’s the best I could’ve asked for. The guy wasn’t too bad looking, too.” She said she has received many professional requests to meet friends and family this festive season.
A spokesman for escort agency Vie Models said: “The booking fee is higher during this time because these escorts are mostly Chinese and would take on assignments only if the pay is very attractive.”
The agency raises its rates by about 25 to 50 per cent per hour during this period. He declined to reveal actual figures.
Mr Jason Lim, owner of Metro Touch Escorts, said that a premium Singaporean social escort – typically defined as an attractive university graduate in her 20s – can earn anything from $5,000 to a whopping $20,000 for a three-hour reunion-dinner session. He added: “The cost depends on the girl, the location, the duration, how many people she has to meet at the dinner and whether she is required to drink.”
There are also those who are motivated to seek help from dating agencies. At least two such agencies told my paper that they see a surge in demand at this time of the year.
Dating agency Lunch Actually sees a 15 to 20 per cent increase in demand for its services in the period leading up to Chinese New Year. Its chief executive, Ms Violet Lim, 30, said: “Chinese New Year is a time when they feel more pressured as they will be meeting family members who will probably ask them about their marital status. This makes them more open to finding out about dating opportunities and platforms.”
Then, there are those who choose to skip town to avoid facing a grilling by relatives. A 24-year-old public-relations executive, who wants to be known only as Ashley, said she got a guy pal to pose as her boyfriend three years ago.
She said:“I don’t mind getting someone to pose as my boyfriend. I’ll probably have to find someone else next time but, this year, I’m getting out of town.”

THIS year, when it comes to red packets, young executives and corporate companies say that tradition is out, while edgy and fun designs are in.
Sales executive Sharon Lim, 27, for example, said she likes giving funky hongbao because they are special and show that she is a "cool relative".
One shop which stocks unusual hongbao is lifestyle store Totally Hot Stuff at The Cathay. It carries fabric red packets, and over 50 per cent of that stock was sold in the past two months, with the majority of customers being young executives in their 30s.
Its business manager, Mr Luke Chong, said: "Young couples wish to differentiate themselves and create an impression on friends and relatives."
Printing companies said that they have seen an increase in corporate clients asking for unusual hongbao. Design and printing firm Corporate Greetings, for instance, saw a 30 per cent increase in clients making such requests. And MDK Design & Print said eight out of every 10 customers opted to use colours such as pink, maroon, gold, copper and cream, up from just 20 per cent last year.
Mr Desmond Kang, MDK's director, said: "Our customers are mostly in their 20s to 30s, and are more adventurous."
Ms Chai Hui Min, marketing manager of Antalis Singapore, a paper distributor, noted that red packets are a marketing tool for companies. Premium materials - such as textured paper - are in vogue, she said.
One company which has opted to be different this year isOCBC Bank. Its hongbao collection consists of eight individual designs which, when put together like a jigsaw, form a portrait of a family of rabbits.
Ms Alice Goh, the bank's head of credit cards, said customers prefer red packets which are "of a collectible nature".
OCBC hopes these designs will give customers the warm feeling of a family reunion, she added.

MEMORIES are groovy. Anyone who says otherwise probably just can't remember. Not only do they light the corners of your mind, misty watercolour memories are the best way to remind us of the way we were. (Thanks, Babs.)
And with MediaCorp Raintree Pictures' It's A Great Great World opening tomorrow, this always sentimental journo was more than ready to plunge into a golden sea of nostalgia and reminiscence about the legendary Great World Amusement Park and all its colourful attractions that director Kelvin Tong had to recreate.
Except for one little glitch: This 1979 baby was born a whole year after Tua Seh Kai (as it was affectionately known in Hokkien) permanently shut its doors in 1978. Darn it.
The only Great World I know of is the shopping mall that replaced it on Kim Seng Road, and I don't think those exotic themed restrooms they have within count as "attractions". I so needed help.
PHOTO: It was a wonderful rush of happiness. Xiang Yun on first walking onto the set. Today, Wednesday, January 26, 2011, Movie, Page T2
Xiang Yun was sitting in the photo studio being worked on by no less than four individuals at once. There's the make-up artist, the hairstylist, the art director/stylist and me. The veteran actress plays an aging but still glamourous songstresses who headlines at the infamous Flamingo Nite-Club in the movie, so she must know a thing or two. You know, method acting and all.
MediaCorp TV Channel 8's resident thesp, who will be turning 50 this year, is beyond resplendent in a figure-flattering, siren-red cheongsam by local designer Lai Chan, looking like a glamour puss from another, more glorious, era.
"Being dressed up these outfits, and posing for these pictures makes me want to do even more 'retro' movies!" she giggled in Mandarin.

The mother-of-two agreed it was a "more romantic and sentimental era", which is why her story in the film - that of a washed up diva who pines for an old lover while the club owner hides his own feelings for her - was especially memorable. "I've always wanted to play a stage performer who sings and dances. It's been one of my biggest dreams."
PHOTO:It's A Great Great World
Produced by MediaCorp Raintree Pictures, It’s A Great Great World is set in Singapore’s legendary amusement park Great World, which was also affectionately known in Hokkien as Tua Seh Kai or 大世界. Spanning the 1940s to the present day, the film tells the stories of a multitude of characters who lived, worked, played, sang, danced and fell in love in Great World.
The actress shared that she was even more intrigued with Great World Amusement Park after shooting her part, and went around asking "uncles" whether they'd been to the Flamingo Nite-Club. "Everyone had differing stories! Were the 'Taxi-Girls' all Cantonese? Did they sing Chinese songs or English songs in the club?" she said, laughing. "I'm guessing Great World had gone through so many different eras and each era brings about different memories for different people."
PHOTO: Xiang Yun flaunts her good figure in latest movie.The MediaCorp actress felt “stressed” over her costumes in the movie.
"Actually, I don't like dressing like this. I'm afraid I'd accidentally reveal myself, so it's very difficult to be in character. It's best if [the clothes] are a little more comfortable," Xiang Yun said.
She remembers stepping onto the movie set for the first time, saying how Tong's detailed food stalls and flashing neon lights instantly brought her back to the era - and the delight of her childhood days. "It was a wonderful rush of happiness."
PHOTO: Featuring an ensemble of MediaCorp artistes, the family comedy will star Joanne Peh, Yvonne Lim, Chew Chor Meng, Xiang Yun, Huang Wenyong, Zhang Zhen Huan, Zhang Yao Dong, Ng Hui, Paige Chua, Ben Yeo, Kym Ng, Bryan Wong, Chen Shucheng, Gurmit Singh, Zheng Geping, Apple Hong, Guo Liang and Dennis Chew. Familiar comedy names, such as Henry Thia and Marcus Chin, as well as artistes from Hong Kong and Taiwan will also be appearing in It’s A Great Great World. http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii195/jasonmuhu/SONsation/ItsaGreatGreatWorld2.jpg http://sonsation.blogspot.com/2011/01/its-great-great-world-review.html
Chew Chor Meng understands Xiang Yun's joy. The 42-year-old actor - who plays the reminiscing link in the movie's sprawling, star-studded cast - remembers going to Great World Amusement Park with his relatives.
"I was just about 10 years old when it closed down, so I guess I was lucky enough to have been there about four or five times in total," he said, recalling that it was only during special occasions like Chinese New Year or birthdays that he got to visit the park. "Because that's when you have the money to spend on food and games!" the affable actor laughed.
He patiently recounted to me all his fond memories of watching Bruce Lee movies at Sky cinema and the many "tikam tikam" stalls. His favourite attraction at Great World? The Ghost Train ride.
"I cannot remember if it was 30 or 50 cents. But I do remember going on the ride and screaming really loudly. Just for fun because, actually, the 'ghosts' in there aren't scary at all!" he said, laughing heartily.
"Those were good times," sighed the Star Search-winning father-of-two and self-professed nostalgic. "Good times."
For stalwart Channel 8 actor Chen Shu Cheng, those "good times" refer to his carefree days as a Primary 6 student when he and his friends used to "pontang" school to hang out at Great World all afternoon long.
"The park would be empty in the day, so it was really fun to go and sit on the tea cup ride and chit chat with my friends about anything and everything," the 61-year-old shared in Mandarin.
The actor, who plays a father paying for his daughter's wedding banquet at the famed Wing Chun Yuen restaurant, remembers it all. Well, almost.
"I loved watching cowboy movies in English - those were my favourites! I remember watching them in the Globe cinema, which had air-con! Or was it fan? Oops, now I cannot remember ... All I know is that it was nice and cool inside," he recounted, laughing.
Chen will forever link Great World to his father, seeing how his days of truancy came to an abrupt ended after his teacher sent a letter to his parents asking why he was "sick" for so many days.
"My father took me out of the house because he knew my mother would cane me, and asked me very gently to explain why I skipped school. He also reminded me of how much he had to struggle to come to Singapore from China to start a life here. After that, I felt very guilty and never skipped school to go to Great World again!"
Actress Yvonne Lim might not have the same intricate memories of Great World. In fact, seeing as she was only a toddler during the last days of Great World, she has no direct memories at all. But that's not to say her story is any less touching.
It was through her preparation for this movie that the 34-year-old, who plays a sassy photographer in the film, discovered that it was where her parents met and courted.
"I had to speak Hokkien naturally and, as you know, our generation doesn't speak dialect very well," she shared, laughing. "So I ended up asking my father to help me with some words. And that was when he suddenly revealed that my mum used to work at Great World selling clothes!"
The 2007 Star Awards Best Actress choked up recounting her father's story of how he'd wait for her mother to finish work at Great World every night to send her home, explaining how it meant a lot as her mum passed away when she was very young.
"We never really talk to our parents about how they met. And because of this movie, I now know. And because of this story, I feel even more attached to the movie."
Lim shared how she loves the fashion of the era, from vintage clothes to bags and shoes. "Maybe I should have been born in that era," she laughed.
After hearing all these stories, I wish I had been, too. You know, scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind. Smiles we gave to one another ... For the way we were.
It's A Great Great World opens in cinemas tomorrow.

Do Good to All People...
Don't be misled: No one makes a fool of God. What a person plants, he will harvest. The person who plants selfishness, ignoring the needs of others--ignoring God!- harvests a crop of weeds. All he'll have to show for his life is weeds! But the one who plants in response to God, letting God's Spirit do the growth work in him, harvests a crop of real life, eternal life.
So let's not allow ourselves to get fatigued doing good. At the right time we will harvest a good crop if we don't give up, or quit. Right now, therefore, every time we get the chance, let us work for the benefit of all, starting with the people closest to us in the community of faith.

Do Good to All People...
Don't be misled. Remember that you can't ignore God and get away with it. You will always reap what you sow! Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful desires will harvest the consequences of decay and death. But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit.
So don't get tired of doing what is good. Don't get discouraged and give up, for we will reap a harvest of blessing at the appropriate time. Whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone, especially to our Christian brothers and sisters.

Long Life
Older men are to be temperate, dignified, sensible, sound in faith, in love, in perseverance. Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, not malicious gossips nor enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good, so that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be dishonored.

Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.
And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.

You may be saying, "What terrible people you have been talking about!"But you are just as bad, and you have no excuse! When you say they are wicked and should be punished, you are condemning yourself, for you do these very same things.
And we know that God, in his justice, will punish anyone who does such things. Do you think that God will judge and condemn others for doing them and not judge you when you do them, too? Don't you realize how kind, tolerant, and patient God is with you? Or don't you care? Can't you see how kind he has been in giving you time to turn from your sin?

The Story: Thirty-six stratagems is a book discussing the art of war. It has been divided into six sets, with six stratagems in each set. The first three cover stratagems for when in superior position. The attack section discusses entering secret liaisons, hiding a dagger behind a smile, and substituting one thing for another. The final three cover the inferior position. Strategies of inferiority include using the weakness of the enemy as well as delusion. There are also stratagems in the end, but the most important of every one in the book advises to get away when in failure. When meeting an enemy who is too strong or could not be coped with, the best solution is to just run away.
