Match-making students in Singapore

Students rush for free movie tickets aimed at helping them find their match

Boy meets girl on a bridge and they line up for tickets to watch a romantic movie, "Turn Left Turn Right."

Well, that was the plan organisers had in mind to bring students of the opposite sex together.

Students from neighbouring schools, Hwa Chong and National Junior Colleges as well as Chinese High and Nanyang Girls' gathered to queue for one of 500 free movie tickets.

Although it was a crush, there was hardly any mingling amongst the students as they focussed on getting their hands on the tickets.

Boys and girls had to join separate queues to ensure no one of the same sex will sit next to each other.

But will they stick to the arrangement next Wednesday?

Here are some reactions from some students:

"I wouldn't mind if I know the guy."

"But if they choose to change the arrangement, then it defeats the purpose."

"We get tickets with friends so we sit together but there are some people who really don't mind as it's a free movie."

The movie will debut next Thursday but before that it is hoped that some of the students will find their match at their preview screening.
