Here are 7 questions that I have answered as truthfully as I could.
- What are some things you feel you do well?
– “Jack of all trades, master of none” is totally not suitable figure of speech to be put upon me. Frankly as a guy, I don’t even know how to play soccer. Haha I know, shame on me. Oh well, but there’s one thing I feel I do best – Food and Beverage. Over the years, as a Hospitality student, I accumulated experience and skills from the industry. It took a lot of skills to do a Latte Art and I’m proud of it. Being in the service line, interacting with people and knowing them from all walks of life are exciting as you expand your network. Most importantly at the end of the day, you made them smile while they are holding a cup of coffee that you made for them. This gives you a great satisfaction (I know it sounds cliché but the service line open up your perspective. Trust me.)
- What challenges you?
– Deadlines. F* Up people’s Attitude (Omg I can’t). And I am mostly a challenge to myself. I procrastinate, I am stubborn, impulsive – act now, think later. Slightly self-conscious, insensitive. (Someone needs to bang the gong on me so that these challenges will go back to their hole.) Despite all these, it’s a blessing to build up my strength.
– I work best with deadlines although I tend to procrastinate. I would say my procrastination level is NEVER the worst because I would still be conscious about the dates. Nearing to the deadline gives me a great sense of urgency thus; I would give my 101% focus to finish what I’m doing and fine tuning it excessively.
– Being stubborn is good… Because it gives you the drive to get what you want. I know what I want and I will get what I want. I don’t care about what you say because this is what I want and I know it is for my own good. I am sorry if I hurt your feelings while getting what I want. Then, you should get out of my way. Fair enough? (Other than this, I am very nice, nice person. Teehee 🙂 )
- What do you like to do for fun?
JUST FOR FUN, then I would love to sing. I sing when I am happy, crazy and bored but not when I am sad. Just let the tears do the singing. I have a group of cousins who we hang out and hit the Karaoke Box together and let loose with our croaking voice. Who gives a shit! Clap your hands if you feel like happiness is the truth~
- Who do you look up to?
– People with beautiful personality are my source of inspiration. I look up to them because if they can do it, I don’t see why I can’t. The recent Oscar winner is new to my list of beautiful people – Lupita Nyong’o. Her Oscar speech blew me off, “…may it remind me, and every little child, that no matter where you are from, your dreams are valid.” This, my readers, is the most inspiring thing to say on national television. Dear Lupita, you are one of my beautiful people I would love to meet someday. I would love to take a selfie with you. 🙂
- What’s something you’ve always wanted to try?
– BAKING! Even if there’s plenty of time in the world for me to bake, I will not have patience for it. They said Guys who bake scores. Sorry ladies, I don’t bake but I cook. I whip out a beautiful dish for your hunger pangs. Heh! I am in the midst of saving up to buy cake mixer and my parents are fixing up the oven at home. Hopefully, everything is ready by the month of Ramadhan.
- What’s your favourite class?
– Class, you mean school class? Oh ok. Definitely, Humanities class. Back in secondary school, students will dread this subject as it was a chore to absorb the content in it and wasting their time to understand the world’s history. I was the opposite. I had great and inspiring teachers for both of my Geography and Social Studies class. I enjoyed these classes because firstly, the world interests me from its physical and human aspect. Secondly, the more you read about the subject, the more you will find it interesting and each concept is interconnected to one another. Lastly, these subjects gave me a great platform this think as an individual, how can I contribute to the society. I had fun with all the school trips that the Humanities Department organised. My Geography teacher influenced me greatly to pursue my study in that subject. So probably, I can share my knowledge with the next generation.
- What do you read about in your free time?
– Currently, I am reading about the Gods and Goddesses of Olympus. Yes…No… Interesting… I look up in the internet, mostly, to read up on this. HBO keep on playing Wrath of The Titan and it moved me to read about the various Gods, Demi-Gods and other stuff. Slightly confuse because I am also a fan of Percy Jackson. So, Perseus in Wrath of the Titan is the son of Zeus while in Percy Jackson, he is the son of Poseidon. I was like, huh? Nevertheless, both of these are interesting read. Other serious read in my free time would be a book called The Advocates’ Devil by Walter C M .Woon. It’s a Singapore Fiction genre. Great to know about the environment of ancient Singapore. The life of a lawyer and his adventures makes quite interesting. Although the English is quite complex, it’s overall a good read.
