yeaps, just back from a soiree at a new friend's place. Drank 2 bottles of wine with 5 other people, and a glass of bacardi rum-coke, so am in the buzz now. Great fun chilling out, eating cheese, sausages and drinking wine. Even though I was the only guy, didn't feel outta place, as I wisely listened more and talked less*. As not all of us knew one another,** we played simple ice-breakers, like use an animal to describe ourselves, our weirdest dreams, our childhood days in primary and secondary schools and our spiritual walk. All in all, it was a great setting...
*well, initially less lah, after the spirits kicked in, started to be more nonsensical and less straight-laced. :p
It also probably helped that I reminded myself to think of myself as "Jacquiline" - role-playing works! :D Well, 3 years of being an Arts and Social Sciences undergraduate also helped, since guys are outnumbered by gers, you need to adapt.
** Actually, I think I was the odd one out la, but the gers were gracious enough to let me into the sorority. Oh, it also helped that I got to be the "dust-bin" that gets to mop up the leftovers of the food and drink :D
P.S. Oh, how can I forget? The olive oil our hostess served is fantastic! From Down under, by the brand of Toscana~ C'est tres delicieux! Must buy back if you get thechance to go there!!
