命里有时终需有，命里无时莫强求

I always think very little of Singaporean celebrities. As much as I want to give them my support, few met my approval in terms of personality and professionalism. I would, however, like to share this article that I read today about this Superstar runner-up who broke up with her 3-year relationship. Agree with her stand.
Choosing better path for yourself is more realistic than clinging onto something that will never be yours.

A courageous girl in love - Kelly Poon
Snipping the tresses which she has kept for two years, Kelly Poon, now spotting a short funky hairdo, is said to have found courage to breakup with boyfriend of three years, ending the relationship she described as most "realistic".

Kelly met her ex-boyfriend six years ago and they dated for the last three years. Despite having cheated on Kelly three times during those three years, she still held on to the relationship with trust and was silly enough to even sit down for a meal with her rival. The relationship ended in an amicable note when Kelly had to spend a large amount of her time out of Singapore.

"I think I am a courageous girl. To both hold on to a relationship and be so silly, you need courage. Each of us has an angel and a devil who will tell you: hey, you should leave now; you need to let go of this relationship. But many times, you will still persist and try to defend that relationship; I think that really needs courage. So I think when I'm in love, I'm a courageous girl," she described.

"Candid Reminiscences", a hit song in her new album "Smiling Kelly", is about this story of hers.

"I think this (relationship) is most realistic. I gave in many of my "firsts" in this relationship, in terms of emotions. For example, there was the first time I shouted at someone, the first time I cried over a boyfriend and the first time I quarreled with a boyfriend. I'm quite a peaceful person, easy-going and all, but he can actually make me mad and shout at him. I think that's really unforgettable. I'm the kind of girl who will give me a certain timeframe to forget about all unhappiness; this is how we came up with the theme for this album, and "Candid Reminiscences" became the hit song," Kelly recounted.

Before becoming a singer, Kelly was a prestige air stewardess; with the irregular working hours, she had to spend past Valentine's Day overseas with her colleagues.

"I remember some girls will actually receive flowers. Their boyfriends will send bouquets of flowers to their rooms, how romantic! I don't have that kind of experience! For Valentine's Day, I think Paris is still the most romantic. They have this river in the middle of the city district, where couples will sit around hugging and kissing. Though there are many couples and it feels very crowded, the romantic atmosphere is still rich."

Kelly revealed that the biggest bouquet she received for Valentine's Day is one with 12 stalks of white and pink tulips but she has yet to receive any gifts that truly touched her.

"I remember once I went shopping with two of my best female friends and we purposely dressed up and chose a restaurant with many couples in it to wine and dine. The feeling then was a bit like: so what if you have a partner, we single girls can also spend the day together! Haha (Were you girls silently wishing for some single guys to pick you up?) Actually we will think that way in our hearts, but it wasn't outright. Otherwise, why do we dress up so nicely?" Kelly laughed.

For this past Valentine's Day, Kelly was in Malaysia promoting her album. The currently single and available 25-year-old also made public appeal for suitors.

"If anyone wants to date me, it's ok. Just call my company and check out my schedule. My boss actually encourages me to get into a relationship because he feels that love will make one mature. I will not reject any opportunities for a relationship but we still need to see if there are feelings and sparks," she said.

Her ideal boyfriend is a humble man with intelligence and constant desire for improvements. "I'm not very smart so I need a man whom I can look up to and learn from; someone I'll always be amazed over. I'd also very much prefer a humble man who is not very flashy," Kelly revealed.
