I used to work in this (government) unit that actually organised and planned activities for singles in Singapore. The SDU (unit for graduate singles) and SDS (unit for non-graduate singles) recently merged as SDN that not longer differentiate the education level of participants.

That was really my first job and quite a fun one indeed. We worked 5.5 days a week as organisers and started work at 10:30am. We had to plan and organise a variety of activities and programmes for singles to give them opportunities to meet other fellow singles. We planned all kinds of activities like camps, karaoke sessions, overseas trips, self-improvement talks etc. Looking back, I think that that was by far the most fun job I have ever had.
*
Each activity began with a few ice-breaking games to give opportunities for the participants to mingle and exchange contact numbers as naturally as possible. Then the activity actual would proceed followed usually by short reception breaks which we would make efforts again to have activities for them to mingle more. This job was fun and I even became friends with some of the members. And some fellow organisers are good friends of mine to this day.

I received an invitation two weeks back that some of the ex-matchmakers like myself are organising a Matchmakers Reunion at a hotel two weeks later. We would play the games that we used to "force" members to play and talk about old times.

It's definitely going to be fun and I really look forward to it.
