On 21 May 2004,
a group of officers from the Singapore Prison Service,
Singapore Police Force, Immigration and Checkpoints
Authority and the Singapore Civil Defence Force
(SCDF) congregated at the SCDF Headquarters for
a fun-packed afternoon. They were participating
in a Single’s
Development Event.
The Ministry of Community Development and Sports
and Fei Yue Community Services engaged professional
actors to put up a brilliant show on boy-girl relationships.
The storyline: Two guys, one overly confident and
the other extremely shy, were trying to date a gorgeous
girl they met on the streets. The threesome managed
to arrange for a date in spite of many hiccups.
During the date, the girl got to know the guys better
and realised they were not as “repulsive”
as she had previously thought them to be. The drama
concluded with the girl stating that she would prefer
if the best qualities of the two guys could be combined
into one person. The guys were left baffled about
their perceived shortcomings.
At the end of the drama, the speaker for the event
began her talk and facilitation. She used the contents
of the drama as a platform to educate the audience
about dating. The speaker covered many aspects such
as how to make a connection, the do’s and
don’ts of social etiquette, great ideas for
dating success, and the difference between the genders.
The talk was highly entertaining as the speaker
was very expressive and injected lots of humour
and drama into her session.
The objective of this programme was to reach out
to singles and equip them with basic relationship
skills to help them connect with the opposite sex.
The programme also aimed to equip singles with the
basics of finding a life partner and pointers on
how to build, nurture and sustain such a relationship.
The participants said they enjoyed the session thoroughly
as the drama and talk reflected reality in a humorous
way. They found the session educational as they
picked up many useful tips which they could apply
in their lives. They gave their thumbs up for the
session and said it was an unconventional but good
way to reach out to singles. |
