In an anonymous post to the popular confessions page NUSWhispers, she said that her coursemate had shown a strong interest in her. “He is extremely smart and comes from a rich background. He has confessed once in Y1 but I rejected him due to my relationship but still he continues to be close to me”, she wrote.

The woman added that she had been with her boyfriend for about four years now — from the time they were in junior college till her second year of university. “I initially liked him because of his drive. Being in NS, he hardly has time for me. He keeps complaining about how hard army life is and on weekends wants to spend more time sleeping at home instead of meeting me. He does not have any drive anymore”, she wrote.
