Drop the Pink Elephant, an interesting book that shows you 15 ways to say what you mean.. and mean what you say.There was this particular chapter that describe something we should apply in every conversation we make and every speech. And that is everything is relative.
Every interesting thing to you can be boring to another person, especially when the another person have no interest in it and it becomes worst when they are unable to form a picture in their mind of what the hell you're talking about.
Remember what Doctor Seah always say. Everything is Relative. He says he is short (which is true), but compared with someone shorter, he is tall (and this is true again). He says he is handsome, and i must say he isn't wrong if he compare himself to someone uglier...
For my first Act3 event, i was posted to the National Library Black Box. There was this time when i took the backstage lift with my venue manger, Andrey and Human Jazz creator, Christian Swenson, and both of them were around 1.9 meters tall.
Standing beside them, I subconsciously said what was on my mind, "I feel short." And my manger told me, "You're not short, we're just taller." Thinking back, I agree with him. With a height of 1.67, i am taller than the average Singaporean girls my age, but under that particular situation, i was short as compared to the two "giants".
You see, things work in a relative manner.
I have to admit that i do make this little miscommunication to people around me when i start talking about Nana (For those who do not know, Nana is my cat). To me and my family, she is the cutest thing on earth but to most, she is just another cat, and that is because you have never met her and is unable to relate to her. I share stories about her soon, and i hope that i will be able to make to relate to her.
Days to flight: 10 days (oh my god!!)
