I first found out about S&B from an article in SCMP anddid a search online. I knew very wellthat the number of applicants must have surged tremendously to an unimaginablenumber since the article was published but decided to submit my applicationanyways knowing that not everyone will be accepted. The wait was long…. Ireceived an email requesting for further information a few weeks after mysubmission and subsequently missed a call a few days later (which I did notrealise until I followed up two weeks later). The long wait was initially filled with anxiety, but as in life, we allneed to manage our own expectations to avoid severe disappointment. The call approving my application finallyarrived… Due to schedule conflicts, I had to miss the first fewgatherings but was the first to sign up for this gathering when it wasopened. And there I was, waiting at the venue for James to pick me up…. I put on my blindfold and was led into the premise. There weren’t that many members when Iarrived but the voices were friendly. And there she was, Ar Sam holding my hands and gently guiding me. The strange thing was I was fairly calm andwasn’t nervous at all, Ar Sam on the other hand was very nervous as it was herfirst time as mentor. Her sweet voice guided me into the washroom and we showered.Ar Sam apparently was totally unprepared and was uneasy with washing littlebrother, so I had to clean myself blind. Don’t worry ArSam,it’s okay. Whenit came to body check, not surprisingly, I was sent to the showers again. When I returned, I was allowed to remove the blindfold andbehold, there were already a group of about 15 persons present and I wasintroduced to each of the members. Irealized that I was the ONLY newbie that night!!!
During briefing, we noted King and 豆豆were missing…. Guess they were too anxious.. Throughout the night, most of the members were very busy, you could hearthe sounds of pleasure emanating from the rooms. I spend most of the night chatting with other members,never having beento such an event in the past, I wasn’t sure what the protocol is and how toreact. Admittedly, I may have made anumber of errors which may have made some participants uneasy . Dick is a great guy as he came to offer mesome pointers, thank you so much, I am sure I have much to learn and will try to do better next time. Now, who’s there: Gents: James, Dick, Forza, Relly,Louise, Jerry, Jet, Murray, King, Ross, Lawrence, Archilles, Shadow_hk, 公鸡?,myself Ladies: Suzan, Ar Sam, 诗诗,小碗,细细粒,小古,豆豆,Rainbow,Meerkat, Jackie, Christina, Bella, Luna I am not sure if I missed any names.

I was tempted to stroke your hair when youwere lying on the couch beside me but held back as I already made too many mistakes that night. 小古: Remember, aperson’s confidence is the most attractive attribute. Only you can take that away from yourself. Bella, Meerkat: You were so busyall night that we didn’t have a chance to talk. 豆豆:You were fast! You were goneas others were just getting into their groove. Jackie: Didn’t have the chance tospeak to you as you were either busy in the rooms or cleaning the place.
