    • I mean its not abt the topics we tok abt. Its abt the way we hold our conversations...some ppl's style of conversations suits u more than others...

      For eg. u tok about sports to person A and B. Both are equally knowledgeable about the topic...but somehow A appeals more to you in the way he talks about it...anyone get wad i mean? Or am i only the one who feels this way? lol

      Have u ever experienced a feeling that u can ''click'' better wif a stranger whom you have juz held a conversation with for 5 mins than someone (friend or acquaintance) whom you have known for months or even years? Do you believe in such a thing called ''frequency'' in which you feel more comfortable toking to him/her without having to venture out of your comfort zone? While there are some ppl whom despite knowing him/her for years, just doesnt provide you wif the same level of comfort during the convo?

      Or do you believe that u can hold a conversation wif anyone regardless of his/her type? Its just up to one's ability to be sociable and adaptable to diff kinds of ppl

    • Hi, i am not sure if my problem is actually a perceived or a real one. It might only be minor problem that doesnt even warrant a thread on aunt agony but i really like some kind souls to advise me on my predicament.

      Ok heres my problem. How to mug in uni when you dont have tys qns to guide u? Based on my previous 12 yrs of pre-uni mugging experience, i have always thrived on practising past yr tys qns and mugging the hell out of it. But i have come to the realisation that uni's unique style of studying expects much more than juz plain regurgitation and practising of qns. It demands a lot on individual self-studying and extensive reading. And i am a person that doesnt read beyond the textbook. I am what you call a ''full-fledged mugger'', one who studies the textbook 100 times and does the tys 1000 times  b4 entering the exam hall.

      So any kind souls here can help allay my fears or dispense some mugging tips on how to score well in uni before i begin my anxious journey in nus tml?

    • I have this mental block problem that has been troubling me since a long time ago. I have totally no clue how it actually happened but i would like to know whats the underlying problem, if some kind souls would actually help me on this. Heres roughly how i feel when interacting with people-

      1) I feel like i am continuously running out of topics with people whom i am not really close with, inclusive of friends/acquaintances.

      2) I feel that even if i do talk and crap a lot, most of it seems involuntary and forceful, thus depriving me of any genuine satisfaction from the conversation.

      3) I feel the existence of an ''awkward silence'' pervading the air when i am not talking to a person whom i know but am not close with.

      Have anyone of you experienced such feelings or is it only me? Is it just a manifestation of poor social skills or is it a sign of worst things to come?

    • Hi guys, I always have a problem of sustaining a proper conversation wif gals. Iam fine toking to guys abt life, soccer, hobbies and other random stuff. But wif gals, I find it very hard to open up to them.

      1)Eg i ask gal A ''hows life recently?'' She replies, ''Im fine.'' Then, an awkward silence ensues and i find myself scratching my head for common topics.

      2) I dont go shopping, gossip and do stuff that gals enjoy. Naturally, i have no common ground wif gals. How to resolve this dilemma?

      3)I have finished school and army. Not studying anymore and my workplace are mostly guys. i dun dare to pickup gals on the streets. How do i widen my social network of the opposite sex?

      Need genuine advice here. Thks.

    • I beg to differ. I have seen so many close frens drift apart when they pursue their own individual goals and aspirations in life. But i tink its ok not to brood over such a trivial matter lah. Friends come and go in life. Depends on fate lor. U dunnid to sell yourself too much when it comes to frenship i tink

    • Realised my social circle is getting smaller. Hard to maintain contact wif friends esp if they are busy wif their own lives and they have also found their new grp of frens, thus gradually drifting apart and losing contact.

      1)Want to give them a ''miss u'' call but find it quite wierd. Will they think that i am a loner and might say ''why is this person calling me after 2-3 yrs of losing contact. We dun have much in common now...''

      2) Want to jio them out for dinner or smth but always nt free or have plans already

      3)Tried toking to them on msn but nvr reply sometimes. Realised nth much to say le. I always start off wif ''how's life'' and the standard responses are like ''fine'', ''ok lah, as usual''.

      Do friends come and go in life? I wonder to myself sometimes. Those that i usually see nowadays are mostly my colleagues and of course, 3-4 close frens. Social life is definitely diminishing nowadays. So my qn is how does one maintain contact wif frens esp when most are passive? Secondly, how to be popular among ppl coz its always me who initiate topics and seldom ppl come find me:(

    • Sometimes is because  u and your friends dun have common interest bah. Like your fren like to go clubbing but u prefer to go library sort of thing. For me is because my old frens kind of have their own frens also so les meetups already. Anyone have any brilliant ideas on how to get a social life ? I also feel bored at home sometimes during weekends

    • Introvert u mean? I really dunno myself. I only think i am full of crap..only tok a lot of nonsense but dunno how to talk properly. My only problem is i dun have money to go out so spend most of my time at home during weekends. At home also sian so wanna ask the ppl here how to spend time during weekends, maybe engaging in some meaningful outdoor activities that are cost-minimal. Moreover, most of my classmates or friends have already gone their separate ways..hard to meet up and kinda stuff. The ppl i hang out wif are always the same 3 to 4 ppl..if every wk ask them out they sure tink i ''no life'' or lonely. Ideas anyone?

    • As above. I realise that my social nework is getting smaller after i get enlisted into army. I lost contact with majority of my school frens and i find myself wasting my weekends at home. My frens are also busy with their own stuff and life. They have also made new friends and we kind of drifted apart. I'm ok with that but how does one make new friends and get a social life. I am poor and cant afford any new courses or activities. U cant expect me to just ''hi'' to someone on the streets becoz that doesnt come natural to me and i find it a bit despo. Any ideas anyone?

    • I find that I am a rather dull person who cant really joke well. Most of my jokes are not well received by others and i end up laughing at them myself. I also find that at times i cant hold a proper conversation with someone (more with girls). I always find myself running out of topics to talk about with someone lest close frens whom i can talk non stop. And when silence comes in, its a bit awkward and i end up blabbering rubbish.

      How does one hold a proper conversation with another person, regardless of gender, esp if you do not really know a person well

    • Hi all, how long did u all take to master the aerial cartwheel. I have been practising for a month but is getting no where. I cant do splits and my leg power is still not very gd. Does one really nid flexibility and leg power to achieve a aerial cartwheel? I heard that if u cant do splits, then u have to swing your legs even harder. True?

      Second thing is do u swing your back leg up first and then jump on your front leg or reverse the sequence or do both simultaneously?

    • As above. Those martial arts tricking moves like aerial cartwheel, butterfly twist, 540 kick etc. I know its popular in US and there are schools/clubs that teach tricking moves but are there any in Singapore? And i am not talking about a normal wushu class. I am looking for a class that specifically teaches martial arts tricking
