WHEN you work 15-hour days, chances are, it is not easy to find
a girlfriend. Indeed, that was the case for fruit-seller Soon Sze
Han, 46, who logged long, punishing hours at Pasir Panjang
Wholesale Market.
'Any woman will be scared off by my working hours,' said the
46-year-old.
But he was keen to get married. So, three years ago, Mr Soon, who
had never dated, walked into a matchmaking agency to explore the
possibility.
Of the three Vietnamese women he met there, he chose one from a
village in Ho Chi Minh City. Aged 25, she was 18 years his
junior.
'She was the oldest there already. I walked by and she winked at
me,' he said.
They married in December 2006 and now live in a three-room flat
in Chinatown with his parents.
Matchmaking agencies said such marriages between couples where
there is a big age gap are common.
More proof of such unions has come from the National Population
Secretariat (NPS).
Last week, it revealed that marriages between men above 40 and
non-Singaporean women doubled from 18 per cent in 1998 to 35 per
cent last year.
Of these marriages, four-fifths of the brides are aged under 40.
Over 90 per cent of them are from Asia, though the NPS did not
specify the countries.
This uncle have an honest look and appearance...unlike the rest of
the other people.
Congratulations to both of them! 
He must have found his True Love after he had accumulated
a strong and stable foundation of income.
