It was organised by Class95, in The Line Terrace at Shangri-la hotel. I was impressed when I stepped into the venue. Held in the alfresco of the restaurant surrounded by a small garden with warm-hued lighting (the kind which makes everyone and everything look nice. ^_^), it was beautiful.
And slightly nerve-wrecking, cos' I was a little late and everyone/everything looked so polished (while I must look like a madwoman with my hair totally dishevelled from rushing out of the gym).
Once the person-in-charge id-ed me, I was given a number tag and sat down at my assigned table (the guys'll be the ones flitting from one table to the next).
It was interesting (not to mention, very tiring) to go through 3 mins of (almost continuous) chatting (which includes a lot of repetition, as you might expect) with 20 people. Most of the guys seemed nice enough. There were a few weird personalities. (which I won't elaborate here. So if you want the juicy gossip, you'd have to get it from me in person. ha.)
There was a finger food buffet at the end of the event and boy was it good!!! And the petit fours were so very pretty!!!
The goodie bag wasn't as good as they'd claimed it to be but it wasn't too bad either. There was a stylish-looking necklace from SooKee Jewelleries (for the girls), some shopping vouchers, a movie pass etc.
Some of us exchanged contacts and namecards and promised to get in touch again. And we have since met up once last Friday for drinks in The Acid Bar. Good live music, great company. All in all, the event I'd thought was slightly embarrassing (I mean, aren't speeddating for ermm... socially less-than-apt people???) turned out rather well and my aim of making new friends accomplished. :D
P.S.: There're photos of the event on Class95's website I think. Thank God there weren't many photos of me in them cos' the few I was in looked absolutely terrible!
