Ever since the Covid-19 pandemic hit us and staying at home became the norm, trying to meet up with friends for heart-to-heart conversations can be a challenge.
And with so much going on, some of us may feel that it’s easier to withdraw ourselves and instead, process our thoughts and emotions in silence.
Striking deep talks can be difficult now that we’re more comfortable tanking everything solo. But if a part of you still yearns for meaningful conversations, SUPER Coffee has some questions that’ll help you achieve a deeper understanding with your loved ones.
From finding out about your cousin’s happiest memories to learning about their greatest fears, you’ll find that the conversations you’ll have will let you know them on a more personal level.
And with Chinese New Year around the corner, you can skip the awkwardness with the people whom you see once a year and dive straight into engaging topics.
Having a heart-to-heart talk or HTHT may not always come easy for most of us — sometimes it needs to start with the right question.
To get each other comfortable with opening up about ourselves, SUPER Coffee suggests starting conversations with some of these questions:
With an arsenal of thought-provoking questions, you can keep your friends and family at the edge of their seats as they become intrigued by hearing everyone’s answers. Maybe, you’ll realise from their talks how much life has changed them.
Who knows what kinds of surprising responses you can get from bae or your BFFs, as you huddle and spill intimate secrets over a cuppa.
Even if your guests can’t visit you at home, you can always jio them for some HTHT over Zoom, Skype, or any video call service.
After all, establishing meaningful relationships need not happen in person, especially with the help of technology. All you need is a good WiFi connection and a cuppa.
In fact, the virtual catch-up sesh is one of SUPER Coffee’s fun ideas for activities to participate in with your family, friends, or neighbours.
They’ve put up a special 5-Day SUPER Challenge with more of such ideas to help you reconnect with loved ones during this difficult pandemic period:
From a simple conversation to a casual stroll, SUPER Coffee encourages you to set aside time in your day for the people you care about.
Not only will you get to know each other better, but it’ll also be a perfect opportunity to unwind after a long day at school or work.
Make time to converse with the people you cherish. After all, it takes meaningful one-on-ones for you to know the other person better.
In return, you’d be surprised to learn how satisfying it is to discover something new about an old friend.
As SUPER Coffee puts it, you can celebrate #LittleWinsOverCoffee and share this little achievement on Instagram.

Just like how a cup of coffee can provide a good start to our mornings, it can make entire days better, especially when paired with wonderful company and meaningful conversations.
While you’re busy trying to accomplish 1,001 things daily, challenge yourself to make time for important connections because those could be the things that help you through tough moments.
Once you learn what truly matters, you’ll come to realise that it’s the simple things that can turn your good days into great ones.
