Rock your life

AH!

I feel more relieved now, that all preparatory efforts paid off. The big day is over and successfully. Phew! Thanks to all those who chipped in to help! Really appreciate the help. One major lesson I learnt from this event is that my Mandarin is really substandard man... I can read well but slowly losing my writing skills due to lack of practice... and my spoken is the worst of all. Guess I need to pick up a Chinese book to brush up brush up. I've wondered whether it's better to:

1) Be good at only one language - English/Chinese.
2) Be Jack of both but master of none.

I think in today's world, one can neither be 1 nor 2. If you can speak like ang moh but Chinese CMI, you'll click well with the other potatos but will face difficulty with the Cheena speaking. On the other hand, if you are mediocre at both languages, you'll probably pass off okay most of the time but have limitations when communicating with foreigners?

Anyway, now with today gone by, I can now return to my main portfolio and settle all the red flags in my email inbox. Have soooo much things to follow up on. Yes I enjoy a not-so-deskbound job but sometimes I appreciate the days when I have the entire day to sit in front of my computer to concentrate on working productively. Running a mobile schedule is inefficient and messes up the already loaded checklist in my failing memory.

Am looking forward to the next few weeks of events already! Rocks!

I was thrown a question today - "What do you think of Singapore's public transport landscape?"

I was... dumbfounded. And amazed that nothing came into my mind, absolutely nothing. Despite being in this industry for almost 2 years, I realised this question really caught me off guard. Good thing was that I wasn't seated in front of an interviewing panel. Anyways, I came to this possible conclusion:



I am still fresh to this industry, what possible comments would I have?


Sorry, that was an excuse. 2 years is a long enough time for you to at least speak something. Complain about the rising fares. Complain about the fruitless wait for the bus or the taxis. The squeeze in the MRT trains. Anything!

But I think I belong to the kind who is most of the time, neutral and happy-go-lucky, even in real life. I seldom have deep intriguing thoughts or emotions or perspectives. Say, even for the recent GE. I didn't vote; but I am actually quite neutral.

I don't think it's actually a good thing in the corporate world. People sitting on the fence are usually the ones who can be physically seen, but not remembered or formed impressions of.

How do I get my thoughts to whirr and stir up more?
