Interview with Babe of the Month – Rei
1. How many countries have you been?
I've been to about 8 countries - America, Canada, Malaysia, Thailand, Laos, Japan, Korea, and Australia.
2. Tell us about your childhood.
Mine was a pretty nice one, being the eldest child and all. I got doted on by everyone! I was the studious type, till I got corrupted as I grew older Haha. But I'm still pretty much a bookworm now.
3. How has your korean heritage affected your family values?
Actually, Korean values are quite similar to Chinese and Japanese values. Respect of the elderly, humility, the "face" thing... in fact, I think Koreans are more self-conscious than any other race. Even if it's just the postman knocking on the door to deliver letters, they have to put on makeup and dress properly before opening the door!
4. Having stayed in Singapore for so many years, what are the qualities of Singapore guys?
This is such a general question! There are good and bad guys everywhere! And I'm not going to write about some ugly stereotypes here.. I'll probably get beaten up on the streets or something ;p
5. What areas do you think Singapore guys could improve on?
Definitely on chivalry and courtesy. It's ok if you don't pull out chairs for girls, but opening the door for them is like the number 1 rule. I've seen plenty of guys who just open the door for themselves to walk out of, and the poor girls behind just get the door slammed in their faces.
6. Would you prefer guys to pay on dates or go dutch?
I'd definitely prefer to go dutch, but it does leave a good impression if the guy offers to pay.
7. What is your greatest fear?
An army of bees/wasps. Ok, but seriously, not doing what I love, and not being with people I love. That's my greatest fear.
8. What makes a man desirable?
What makes a prince desirable.. that's what! Haha actually, to me, as long as the guy doesn't smoke, doesn't club like crazy, doesn't go drugs nor flirt, I'm pretty much ok. I believe love is blind, and that deciding on what you want in the guy you love is too unromantic a notion.
9. Do you like it when a man woos you aggressively eg: showers you with flowers and gifts? What kind of courtship impress you most?
I'm probably one of those rare girls who think flowers are a waste of money. They are rot and die in a matter of days, and you just chuck them into a dustbin. What's so romantic about that? Gifts are more for special occasions.. like maybe, 1 month anniversary, 100 days anniversary, just anniversaries, or birthdays. Though the idea of a guy giving his girlfriend little gifts everyday [like chocolates, sweets] is pretty sweet...
A sincere courtship would impress me the most. Not those wham-bam-thank-you-maam kind, but a genuine desire to care for the girl.
10. What is your fantasy date?
A themepark outing with the guy I love. Sharing a big candyfloss, screaming on the rollercoasters, hitting each other in the bumper cars, playing games and winning a BIG teddy bear to lug around, and ending the day with a ride on the carousel under the stars. Preferably with fireworks lighting up the sky.
Cheers,
Rei Chan
