Drop the Pink Elephant

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.

Heritage Fest'08 - the people

The people of the Kids Zone[althought not all of them]. Crazy Yi Zhen and Crazy Me. I have worked with her during the last Children's Festival.
This is a drawing done by my niece, Melissa^^
There was this kid that saw my tag and asked what does "crew" meant. He told me he knows what a ship crew is. I explained that the crew is people that help faciiate the operation of something and that if this exhibition was a ship, I am part of the crew and that Ruby was the captain.

Some interesting that happened:
1) People were coming up to us and asked where this is and that is, even when the service counter is right beside us!!
2) We were giving out some free drinks such as Banana Flavored Bandung, Lychee Flavored Bandung, and i still feel gulity about it (just kidding). People kept on asking if it was free or not.
3) Children was calling us "JieJies" and I had 2 boys calling me "Teacher!" and they are ike shouting across the exhibition calling me "Teacher!" (Where should I hide!!) But when the adults come in, they will tell their children, "Ask Aunty teach you how to do", "Give to Aunty." Haiz...

P.S. Isnt anyone curious how i took so many photos when i am suppose to be working??

Countdown to flight: 35 days
