One day, Xin Ru went into the toilet but realised there was no toilet paper. She came out of the toilet wanting to borrow tissue paper and bumped into Joel. So this was how they met. HAHAHA. Of course not lah! You think this one Channel 8 drama meh? So let me tell you how we met! It all started when we met on Coffee Meets Bagel (CMB). Xin Ru has been single ever since she was born, so she joined a dating app to try her luck lah. Joel saw Xin Ru's profile and decided to give it a shot. Xin Ru gave Joel the chance after she saw on his profile that he's looking for a woman who loves God. So they started chatting and never looked back. Back then, Xin Ru actually had a list of qualities that she is looking for in a partner. Surprisingly, Joel checked off almost all of the boxes in Xin Ru's criteria.
It all happened on Christmas Eve. There's always something magical about the Christmas season. It was simple yet intimate. Joel brought Xin Ru up for dining on the cable car. We took a stroll up to Faber Peak where things started getting serious. There were fairy lights, pictures hung around Faber Peak. So Joel kneeled down on one knee and popped the question. And...Xin Ru said "YES"!
