Ever heard the one about the engineer and the lawyer? It’s the classic “opposites attract” situation. Well, as a talented singer-songwriter friend put it in the lovely song she wrote for our wedding, “perhaps God made variety to fit perfectly”.
Tim & I started off as good friends in Raffles Hall, NUS, and we hung out »
