Friends Next Door

When you've known someone for years and years, how much do you really know about them? We'll find out as we decided to try something new this time - dedicating an entire episode on asking each other our burning questions. We'll take turns putting each other in the hot seat and Mia will kick us off! Hope y'all enjoy!

Fresh off her wedding (catch up on this on our first episode this season!), Kuan is elaborating on her thoughts around maintaining a sense of self while forming a new unit - husband and wife. While this concept is often thought in this context though, this is also something we go through at work and in professional setting. How do we navigate between the two identities?

As social creatures, we all have the desire of belonging to a tribe, a community. Whether it is being surrounded by like-minded people, those with shared hobbies, or other fans of the same Kpop group (ehm). We like to be surrounded by "our people". But how do we find them? And how do we maintain those relationships once we do?

Some people say that the rule to determining a socially acceptable age difference in relationships is to half your age and add seven. This goes both ways - up and down. Whether or not you believe in this is of course up to each individual, but let's talk about age gap in relationships and what that realistically means in terms of your compatibility with the other person.

After a long, long break... we're finally back in your ears! Lots of things happened in the last few months and we have so much to catch up on, but FIRST! One of us is a newlywed, so naturally we want to hear all about the process and how she (ehm, Kuan) decided to take the leap.

Meet the Parents - now that sounds like a scary movie. To those who are natural charmers, lucky you. Those who are void of the social butterfly genes, don't worry because at least we can trade stories, and tips! 

And unfortunately, this will be our last episode of Season 5! We have to end the season earlier than usual because of personal circumstances (nothing crazy though), so we're saying farewell for now but we WILL be back!

You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with. Have you heard of this saying before? Well, Mia hasn't until recently. Once she gave it a thought, there's some truth to it but to what extent? Let us know what you think once you give it a listen!

Is New York overrated or underrated? On this episode, we're just going to have a fun conversation on things that we think are underrated or overrated. And ooobviously, the things we say are highly subjective :). If you feel so inclined, though, feel free to share your thoughts if you disagree!

If you're an older millennial listener, would you agree that we're entering our midlife crisis era? It may not look the same as what we imagine a midlife crisis would look like, with a red sports car or anything, but some of the signs are hard to ignore. Regardless, we're not saying it's a bad thing, but let's talk about it.

Ahh we sure do like to come up with a label for everything, don't we? In this case we think it is the best way of explaining the term in a succinct way, but in standard FND fashion, we'll dive into the concept, what we mean by that and why we think it is becoming normalized.
