Roy and Cheryl have only been married for two and a half years, but they have known each other since they were in junior college. Cheryl recalls: “We’d noticed each other on separate occasions, but there was this one time after school I spotted Roy in the canteen and I realised we had a common friend. She indirectly introduced us by setting us up on a lunch date with a couple more friends. It was at Cafe Cartel in Siglap after a Chinese exam. And it was kind of awkward… My friends knew I liked him, and he probably did too, but we were so shy and old-school about it. In fact, we were friends for a year before we even thought about getting together.”
