I'm a born-again single: Allan Wu
by Juliana June Rasul

At 41, Allan Wu is ready to date again.

The US-born actor-host is back in Singapore for good after having relocated to Shanghai with his family for work two years ago.

News broke last June that Wu and local actress-host Wong Lilin had called it quits after 10 years of marriage.

Wong, along with daughter Sage, nine and son Jonas, seven, then moved back here a few months before Wu.

Now, he is excited about meeting women of "all colours, shapes and sizes".

Women who are not afraid of the sun will score points in his book.

Said Wu: "It's been a while, I'm a born-again single.

"My life had centred around Lilin and the kids (for the last decade) so the opportunity costs were that I didn't have time to spend with my friends.

"Right now I want to focus on my kids and find someone to be with.

"I'm definitely ready."

Wu said that he did not want what happened to scar or traumatise him and is not shutting out the possibility of a second marriage.

"Never say never, I always say.

"Maybe Lilin will also find someone more appropriate for her than me.

"If I ever consider marriage again, I'll have to take my kids into account as they are my responsibility now."

Whenever a couple is divorced the kids suffer. Couple should take a hard look at the issue involved before calling it quits.It is a pity kids cannot see their parents together.Many kids are traumatized by parents divorcing.

He is just a guy with a young heart, not quite ready for long term relationship such as a marriage and with hot spicy Wong.

I think the media should give them some space. Seriously. Despite that it is good news and good example of them to do so.

Let them have space for their kids' sake.
Time will heal everything.

please bear in mind that the marriage is about communication and understanding. please be understand to the need and wants of the wife when she getting older. man and woman need to be accomodative to each other. happy marriage is not so simple.there is a lot of work to be carried

she shouldn't detest our local guys!

of course she and allan are poles apart when he likes beef steak while she

loves "bak-chor meepok"!

..and typically behaviourally angmoh, flirting is the name of his game!

the "messed-up" and a "loser" person is Wong LL.

she oredi passed her "prime-time", somemore singlehandedly "stuck" with her

babies produced by playboy Wu!

success for her, if it comes, will be hard!

too bad, she "lost" that opportunity!

in show biz she had that only one chance, ie youth!

ha..ha!
