speed dating...

was interesting.
my first time.

I was late, being stuck on KJE for half an hour achieving only 100 metres in distance. (sigh!)

I met A,C,J,K and WL.

A has 4 tattoos. The oldest one was done when she was 14 - a faded monkey God because her group of friends then were very cheena kind. (Tattoos fade too!). She has a big crucifix on her forearm, a barbwire on her upper arm and another one near her spine. The one at the spine hurts the most. She runs often and does Muay Thai. SHe likes all sorts of food but prefers western food. She likes a variety of food so she goes for buffets. She thinks that the best one she has tasted in from The Line At Shang. She's 31 this year and recruits china workers and displaces them in Singapore. She goes to S L Church opposite Sim Lim occasionally.

C wrote that he's a workaholic. But he said it was A who wrote that for him. He is an FTM transgendered. He decided at the age of 27 that he didn't want to be a butch anymore. He removed his breasts and his womb and started taking hormone jabs. Now he has to take hormone jabs every 3 months. He's 34 this year. His family is supportive of him the way he is now. They only want him to be healthy. He works in the same employment agency as A. They have been friends for 15 years. Sometimes, people calls A his gf but he says both of them cannot make it because he prefers feminine women. I just changed all the pronouns to he/him. I keep forgetting! maybe he's there to support A.

J wrote that she's your normal girl next door. She is an engineer. She has had a few relationships but she seems to like them more than they like her. She studied Computer Science in UQ too! But she was there 4 years earlier than I was. She's 32 this year. She goes to church too. I can't remember if she mentioned it. What she looks for in a partner is that they should be able to communicate and they should have chemistry.

G works at the Sports Council. She takes care of the umpires and makes sure they are around for the SEA GAmes and the upcoming Youth Olympic. G knows a few of my netballer friends, one of them quite dear to me. G recently came into this circle. Her first gf was from the SSC, the second I can't remmeber. It was her second that introduced her to Sayoni, Fridae and PLAY.However, they only go occasionally. She has her own flat though she's only 34. Her family has a condo so she owned this flat with her dad though she's paying for the flat. She has a mini schnauzer which lives at her parent's place. So she has the best of both worlds. She goes back home when she is lonely and wants to see her parents and her dog, but when she is attached, she spends more time in her own flat. She actually wanted to rent out the flat but after doing the renovation, she found the place quite cosy and decided not to. After her ex-gf broke up with her, she has started to think about renting the place out, but just a room because she has many things at her place. She has been attending church for 20 years. B Pres Church. Her 3 exes were not christians, and 2 of them were not supportive of her going to church, like they want to sleep in etc and ask how come she must go church. She is attending this batch of LUSH!

WL shared new things about herself, but I better not share here. Ask her! :)

It's pretty interesting. I like meeting new people and have conversations like that with them. 10 minutes is just nice. Not too long, not too short. I might do this again sometime.

I realised that writing helps me to feel relaxed. I should write more when I am stressed.
