Hi there! I came to study and stay with my relatives in SG back in 2007. My parents are still in China, and have never been to SG.
There were some family disputes back then. They separated when i was young and I had nowhere else to go to. The rest is history.

To be fair, I wouldn't exactly call the invitations common, so nothing to worry about.

Hello! No I'm attached. Been dating a girl i met at NUS for 2 years. She is a SG citizen, born in taiwan.
But we have no plan of marriage yet.
Thanks for sharing that invitation letters are rare! I do wonder why, and how, some foreign students might receive that letter. I don't think ICA looks at good school grades. Haha.

Good evening Mr SMS! If you are referring to the infamous graduate mother scheme, yes it could be a possible factor.
I have heard of stories when fresh graduates of NUS / NTU were invited to gov sponsored match-making cruise trips. Lol.
