At lease they should just publish her article without her photo :o
You have a valid point there.
The problem is most Singaporean women look more or less like Amanda in the pic, so relatively speaking she is on the average side.
From her pic, she is definitely not below 30 as some of the above posters claimed. The lines around the neck are a obvious giveaway.
She tried hard to give the impression that she has 'strong' values, and despite her spinsterhood she is able to draw energy from her strong values, which she is not prepared to compromise.
Well, what is the truth ? The truth is she has a career, and she draws energy from her career. The values that she happens to have are parasitic on the success of her career. Without a job, she will not be able to hold on to her strong values.
This is true with many women, especially those who are still young. When you're young, a good dose of youthfulness can mask your ugliness both physical and character. So young women can afford to talk big not because they subscribe to some exceptional values, as they would have you believe, that make them exceptional.
When your youth fades, your star fades, your confidence fades.
