Went for the F&E event at suntec city today to tend my club's booth. Its really a new experience for me, never been to such networking event before. I could say I was quite glad with my performance today, though I made a blunder when speaking to this boss of a SME. Below is part of my conversation with him
(He approaches our booth)
Me:"Hi, are you interested in Economics?"
Him:"Of course, if not I wouldn't be here right?"
(Opps)
Me:"Are you previously from NTU too?"
Him:"huh?"
(I repeat my qns)
Him:"Yup, I am an NTU alumni member."
(Silence)
Me:"Oh, then were you previously from any of our cca?"
(Obviously, almost everyone has a CCA)
Him:"Huh?"
(I repeat my qns)
Him:"No, I am more into Sports when I was in NTU......"
(Silence)
Me:"What are you currently working as ?"
Him:"Huh?"
(I repeat my qns)
Him:"I open my own business"
..............................(and the conversation continues)

He seems unable to hear me properly and I had to repeat most of my questions, making me more nervous. I wonder if that made him have a bad impression about my club. I admit that I need more training in Networking. I was told to network more with the bank and finance organisations there and get a few namecards but I just really wasn't interested in talking to them. I know NUTS about the finance industry. But as a Economics Society main comm member, I guess I would need to communicate with more of such people in the future. I pray hard that I can be more eloquent and more knowledgeable in this few years.

All in all, I still had fun with my club members and talking to some NTU Econs students. It was an eye-opener for me :)

Sidenote 1:
偶尔还是觉得自己不够独立，即使我才能独当一面， 不需要依赖任何人的陪伴？
但那天的到来会使我更快乐还是会令我更孤独？

可我不想自己的情绪被别人影响，别人不在乎你的感受，但你又在乎别人时，你容易受伤。
我讨厌这感觉。但没有悲伤，何来快乐？

付出感情太多
原来多情人
总被伤的最重

Sound so emo, for many many years, I try not to let people know I care about how they treat me.
But oh well, 我会学习更坚强！

Sidenote 2:
Receive Smses from my SAJC mentoring pals that Darryl's Dad just passed away. Was quite shocked when I saw it, how unpredictable life can get. Its when such incident happen that people start to think about whether they should be more concern about their family. I am guilty of not spending time caring for my family and taking them for granted sometimes.

Changing a quote that I saw from a meaningful email today
'Life is not about how many breaths you take but how many times you take someone's breath away'
