Last month, Jetstar launched a campaign to match singles through the power of the Zodiac. Participants simply had to enter the years they were born, and Jetstar would then consult a fengshui professional to find the best match and set them up on a blind date.
It seems that Singaporeans are a superstitious bunch, because in just two weeks, over 12,000 competed to win the blind date. From there, Jetstar picked their winning couple — Dennis and Zhi Min — who were sent to Bali on the ultimate first date.
But to their surprise, 320 of the 12,000 participants were above the age of 60. This prompted Jetstar to set up yet another couple; 66-year-old financial consultant Henry Tan (born in the year of the rat) and 67-year-old Grace Toh, who used to work as a missionary in Africa (born in the year of the pig).
And the result is adorable.
