Before i knew it...another weekend is here!! hahaha..during the weekdays, I think that time are crawling by slowly...especially during mondays...zzz hahaha...however...the good thing is that, i am finally getting hands on with SAP stuff! :) Working is tiring...especially when u need to reach at 830..and especially when its really far hahaha...however, i am kinda happy with my current work so far...cos everyday is a learning day...and what matter most i think, is the people :) and I think i am lucky to have such a family like team...where everyone goes lunch together hehe
Anyway...talking about this...I happen to meet this person whom I had dinner with...along with a bunch of other people as we need to get together to discuss some stuff...and as usual...when u meet someone new...people at my age...to strike a conversation...we talk on things like...where did u previously work at? N cos our standard answer is...just graduated...so therefore, we will naturally share our background...and it is inevitable that we will ask lots of questions to find out more...what happen was..this person who was in a discussion with us...is actually not very familiar with us...in fact, it was the first time meeting him for most people...so naturally, we will ask him some questions....and one of my friendly friend started to ask him some question, with the intention of striking a conversation with him...and he was like...why are u asking me so many questions?! are u interviewing me??! N i was like wondering...why...is he so unhappy...
N cos i was sitting opposite him, so after my friend talk to him, i decided to talk to him..as he mentioned to my friend that he studied in aus, and cos i see that he was drinking some beer, i thought maybe i can talk to him about drinks...so, i said, u said u study in australia rite..n i...before i can complete my sentence...he interrupted me n said," so issit ur turn to interview me now?!" with an angry straight face...and i was like errr...no i wanted to say, in aus lots of people always hang out in pub blah blah blah...
n cos he said he is a fresh graduate...i asked if he worked else where...cos, even for myself, i did work elsewhere even though i am a fresh grad...cos...working else where can mean part time job too...and his reply was...i told u i am a fresh graduate, so why would i have any other previous job?! n i am seriously dumb founded..in fact, i almost wanted to tell him off...like, people are trying to talk to u, yet, all the words coming from ur mouth sounded so defensive...
N then...he looked at me and said that i look exotic..exotic?! N then he said I dont look like a sporean...all these are ok cos many people say so...and then...he made this comment which i seriously have no idea as to where is he coming from...he said....from ur name, i thought u should be someone cheerful and always smiling....so what is he implying? Actually, I think I dont really give a damn as to how people define me...but...he seriously made me quite uncomfortable throughout...n then i said...do i look stern? he said yes...
I turn n ask my friends..and they were laughing hard...anyway, i think..he should be the first to say so....
Luckily i wont have much encounter with him...but i just thought that...when people are trying to talk to u, dont be so reluctant...people could have jolly well leave u alone and let u feel ostracised..but we didnt...u can choose to redirect it to something else if u feel uncomfortable about letting others know more about u....i understand tat everyone is different...but i think its important to have basic courtesy....
Anyway....I almost fell down N times today..and i twisted my ankle...i hope i didnt sprain it cos its getting painful arghhh...going to bed...and enjoy myself over the weekend :)
