Why Are You Here?

Yesterday ambassador for NTU open house was fun. I was stationed at Jurong East. The job scope at first was relatively boring. My buddy and me were given simple job to direct people to the pick up point. After lunch, due to limited manpower, we hopped on to the bus instead to mingle with the people on their way to NTU. I think I gave them an good insight of what NTU is about amid the short 15 minutes trip. But I think the people on board were quite shy.

After 4 trips, my voice start to get hoarse because there was no mic on the bus. The poor uncle didn't have it any better than us. I think he was overworked and his spirit is commendable to continue driving without rest for long period of time.

I interacted with 1 or 2 visitors born in 1989 and I could really feel the age gap between us. And to think they are coming in this august. Darn

All in all, I think it's a great event. There are satisfactions involved because you have to be proud of your school in the first place in order to introduce it to other people. I think I will do it again if I got the chance next year.

I took this module Organization behavior this sem. It's something to do with human resource. Very intensive, very profound and I don't understand it at all initially because it really piss me off when the textbook state this is good but subjected to this and that is not good subjected to that and then in the end nothing is good and yet nothing is bad so what is exactly good and what is exactly bad?

After some time on the subject, I started to gain additional insight. Some of the things I encountered during group project and CCA were explained better with behavioral thinking. I realized EQ is really really very important because it can make or break the person impression of you. Some people get so carried away that they forgot about everything, their surrounding factors and left everyone stunned at the end of the day. Some people are greedy that they take and take, keep asking for more without complimenting on the efforts that others put in that eventually people start to treat it as a job instead of an interest and just want it to end asap.

I am determined not to let people with low EQ ruin my day and undermine the long hours and hard efforts of my other project member. Dammit. No more next time.

On a happier note, projects on hand is clearing up. But exams is lurking around the corner. I will end my exam on 25th April. Hope there will be a window of opportunity to go oversea for a short break again.
