I am again widening my social circle and meeting new friends. Yesterday, i went to this Sentosa Eureka Challenge. Its sort of sponsored by SDN and catered more for singles. I think its quite worth it, cos for a mere rate of 35dollars, you get a jewel cable car ride, a 4D magix show, a luge ride and a segway adventure plus lastly a sumptious bbq buffet dinner.
At first, i was very overwhelmed by the long queue at the Harbour Front tower 2. I noticed that alot of people came in groups...and i was alone...I felt really left out and was deciding if i should just leave. But considering the amount i have paid, i thought just go ahead and enjoy everything that is planned. First i was put into groups and i walked around Sentosa with my group members, quite a sporting group of people actually. Not those who are "princessy" and keep complaining about this and that...i think maybe i'm the most "princessy" one...
The host was also super entertaining with his "parrot lookalike" hair and his very attractive voice and jokes.
After the dinner, come the exchanging of Gokon cards. This card is whereby, you write your contacts on a card and approach the person you are interested in and pass him the card. I tell you ah...i did not write anything on the card...because...the only people i interacted with are my group members...i find that since we are only given such a short period of time, there is no way you can talk and make a quick and good impression on the person you are keen of knowing if the guy is in another group. I'm sorry to say that in this way, this was quite a flop. Anyway, i saw a few familiar faces that i have seen the last time at this movie event which was not good already. Those who asked me for my contacts last time, approached me again this time. As a matter a fact, i cannot remember their faces and names now, because no one left a deep or lasting impression on me. They just come to me and say ," Hi, can we exchange card?" I thought i just take their card...but actually i am really not willing to give them mine. At first, i just write my contacts for first few people. After that, i really find everything stupid.
LOOK, the card is for you to give to the person you are interested. (from the looks factor) If the person is not interested in you, he/ she can choose not to write or give you a card. You should not "force" and should just take rejections easily. I think i gave a really "uncomfortable" face...why is it that some people can't see body language...what's the purpose of getting the numbers when the other party is not keen?
Anyway i have about 11 contact cards with me, not alot...not very few either...but i am not flattered. My close friends...you should know the reason.
