I had the pleasure of attending speed dating or she would rather call it a socializing/networking/have fun///... alot of slash.. just to hide the fact it is a speed dating event..
A close friend of mine got fedup of working as a law enforcer... or trying to enforce law... much to her dismay, money still speaks louder... so tried opening up a company, an event organizer company called party parties... being her 2nd event, first one for some kids... and this 2nd event being the real deal.. i personally think it was a job well done... i know she tried real hard, so my kudos to her...
Anyway, back to speed dating.. Excuse me for being a little too enthusiastic, I had my new white shirt who resembles the very nice pattern of Burberry... a designer named John Harold... nicely pressed... I was late of course, but I had it all planned, to ask very attention seeking questions.. out of the ordinary A/S/L... not so much as SEX... may have gone the wrong way... I ended up with simple questions.. as I was ushered oh-so-suddenly into the hot seat..
It was quite fun... I could tell everyone I have done speed dating and there is nothing to be embarrased about.. In fact, I would do it the 2nd time, no doubt... not because I am desperate and for the irony of cursing myself, you're single the 2nd time.... but for me, it is a fun game.. of knowing people... I work in the hotel industry and the people I meet are mostly in their 30s.. although I am soon to be in the 30s category, I still wish to compare myself to my peers of late 20s... I want to know if whatever I have achieved so far is still on par with my peers or that i am way behind and need to catch up... Call me crazy for comparing but I guess I am born to compare... but not in a bad way... When i compare, I re-evaluate myself... and push myself further to be better...
The people or girls i have met were from various industries... mostly lawyers as the organizer are lawyers themselves, but there were also accountants, music teachers, interior designers, online gaming experts?.... but to know them expands my network very much... I dont know if love shall blossom.... but definitely friends to start with...
I say speed dating... have fun!
