I don't get asked stupid questions. Heck I don't get asked any questions. But most of the time, folks look at me funny and think that I'm either a) rich beyond belief b) have a death wish or c) smart beyond belief. Of the above, only B is true. Oh the book is useful alright. Applying it is hard, but the more I work with people, the more useful I find it. In fact, I think I'll go read it again. I just remembered certain points on carrying a conversation. I think I'll go post it on my blog. Me, heh… I don’t get asked stupid questions. Heck I don’t get asked any questions.

In fact, I have once encountered a peasent who was big of boobs but small of brains. After Royal pleasantries, she asked me which company I was working for. I had her quartered and fed to the Royal dog's dog. All hail fearsome me. Dear loyal kingdom entertainer,

Makes you wonder what people are thinking, doesn't it? The workshop was amazing. You really should have attended. Don't know how come you didn't hear about it... was in artscomm email. Maybe got filtered by your spam filter or something? Minou: lol. I think so. You should ask Elyxia cos she was the one who took pictures of the pantry to show all of us, the evil woman!! =P Vandalin: Is the book really helpful? Maybe I should read it, too, haha. Maybe if I knew how to "win friends and influence people", they would stop bothering me with stupid questions. Heheh. Anyway, regarding your last statement, does that mean you get asked stupid questions about your job, too? Share, share! Ruok: Hahaha… you get that question too?

Me, I've tried the Mckenzie one. ROCKING! That aside, I strongly believe that people here in Singapore should polish up on their conversation skills. Anyone who needs to know how, just go buy the book "How to win Friends and Influence People". Hmmm after reading your entry, it's cleared something up for me. Maybe that's the reason why people from a certain industry stick to that industry. Simply cos they can't stand getting asked silly questions all the time!

Heard that someone in my marketing department went before. Ever since then, he would look at our pantry and sigh. J/K Is this the one with the mini 7-11 inside? Ohhh….THE Bloomberg Pantry.
