I just received a postcard from my tuition buddy! It was in the letterbox one day after i got back home from work. It had curious letters on it which i realised were Thai. No wonder you asked for my address, haha. You sent it via airmail!
I haven't got the chance to give you a gift from Taiwan yet :/
Thanks for the card by the way, I love receiving cards and letters in a age where simple one liner text messages and long distance communication via phone are so prevalent. It makes you feel that the person has gone through the effort to actually contact you, and...it kind of makes me feel special. laugh*
Plus, messages by technology display generic fonts and not actual handwriting which are unique to every individual, which can actually convey actual feeling through writing.
Ok, on to my past week in The Office:
-I actually saved two-thirds of my weekly allowance because i ate free lunch which are leftover from buffets for seminars.
-I have become more confident at handling phone calls and even make my tone less monotonous and sound more pleasant.
-I have come to appreciate agents who are polite over the phone and abhor those who are impatient and rude.
-It is hard for me to converse with people i know very little about, especially those who are really quiet.
-I should try to learn some Malay phrases to chat with my colleagues :)
-You can get fat from working at such a place. Simply from the amount of food have waiting to be eaten.
-My Shifu is very patient and meticulous in teaching me how to do tasks.
-I like working here :) although the work is a tad monotonous.
-I pondered a lot about my past because the work is monotonous. A lot about my past. I seem to always remember the funniest, most embarrassing or happiest moments though.
Ok, mainly the embarrassing moments...Oh God Why...
signing off.
