Kexin =D [SC-girl (therefore ex-junior), roommate 2]
Hannah, Joanna, Rudolf (zombie!), Earl, Amos (NO comments)
Dawn & Clarence ("helloo!")
the rest of the day we blahblahblahblahblahblah...
Day 2.Preacher Ruth and Rev David Burke rock. haha.
anyway, the topic was BGR. we split into guys-girls. then Pr Ruth asked us who has dated before. so just raise hand lor... i knew Vic had (no duh!) but i was surprised Mel had too. haha and LUCINDA!!! (okay so i kinda expected her to raise her hand but i bet she was surprised at me. lol. her expression was damn funny...
lucinda: "eh you! you never tell me about this guy!! who is it?? huh huh?"
laura: "as if you tell me like that... what have you been doing huh? why never tell me? hmm??"
haha. quite funny. but yeah. the session was good... we talked about stuff you, or at least I, can't talk to my parents about. *shrug*
When a guy asks you to go out, how can you tell if he means it seriously...as in a date or just like any other friend?
When is an "appropriate" age to start dating? what about serious dating?
To what extent is PDA acceptable for a Christian couple?
Is it WRONG for a Christian to date a non-Christian, or just not advisable?
things guys need to know- not all girls have PMS.
- not all women are naggy.
- not all bad drivers are women.
- when a girl cries, be there for her rather than just walking away. (but please look at the situation--no one is saying you must always give her a hug, joshua!)
- when a girl is looking down (or worse, crying), don't ask her if she's alright/okay.
- when you know a friend is PMSing, do not broadcast it.
- learn when to be decisive, guys.
- do not criticise your girlfriend in public. [Dawn & Valerie said this. i wouldn't know, don't get any ideas.]
- do not grumble when we shop.
- do NOT, i repeat do NOT use deoderant so excessively. [this was
unanimous regardless of age and availability. guys, TAKE NOTE.]
- (lol.) learn to understand how we speak. [refer to examples below.]
eg1. (by Pearlyn)
guy: "what would you like to eat?"
girl: "anything."
-guy comes back with food-
girl: "i don't want this!"
guy: "but you said 'anything'!"
girl: "yeah, but not this!"
[guy, do not grumble. hint: maybe you can offer an option (eg. "this or this?"). but don't over push. sometimes the girl really means "anything".]
eg2. (by Valerie, with a large agreement)
-girl looks sad/is crying-
guy: "are you alright?"
girl: "i'm fine."
guy: "ok lor."
[GUYS!! do NOT say that whatever you choose to do!!]
so. sometimes our "no" means "no" and sometimes it means "yes". and same for our "yes", "anything" and "i'm fine".
things girls should know about guys. (by the guys)
- when guys are quiet, it doesnt mean we don't care about girls
- when guys go out with their ex, it doesnt mean they are dating their ex
- when guys dont look at girls, it doesnt mean we are gay
- when guys dont look at you, it doesnt mean we dont care
- when guys dowan to talk, it only means that we are tired, not tired of you
- when guys say sweet things to you(a girl) or about a girl, it doesnt mean we are flirting/ interested in that girl
- crying, having a good dress sense and having feelings does not mean we are gay
*disclaimer: all the above were compiled by the majority of our youth group. it does not necessarily hold true for EVERY case. just most ^^
Day 3.
[too tired to blog.]
