For once, I become a tour guide!!!

For once, I became a tour guide for my guests in NUS..

A 20 minute tour around NUS campus with a script in my hand. Honestly, I didn't really quite follow the script that I was holding dearly to. We went around the A1 route, didn't really manage to bring my guests to BTC and into Engineering faculty. It was my first time trying very hard to describe NUS to a group of older students (the past few experiences were from SOW and CAC camp where we bought several groups of young freshies around the campus to orientate them). Freshies were relatively easier to bring around as, there is no expectation of any quality of service and they are more open. But for my guest, a level of professionalism was expected, at least for myself.

I am just glad all was done, though it was quite a fun experience. It might happen again, next time!

Learning curve: I guess, part of my job, is well, not quite routine, which makes the good and bad of it. IT is a love, hate relationship as I always mentioned. I definitely do not want a desk bound job and with a non-desk bound job, you will always have to walk about, run about, hop about, not to mention, dash about. The nature of my job requires a constant positive and calm attitude, which I am not sure if I do honestly possess the quality of, but, I am willing to try. It is a constant challenge, of how I will phrase it. It is something that, will result in personal and developmental growth, which one may feel satisfied at the end of the day. It is, definitely rewarding and you will get to know more people. The hard part, is to realize that everything can change even though you tried to plan well for it and the most torturing part is to, fortune tell, to predict hiccups and have ways to deal with it. That will require a wealth of good experience which I think, each and everyone of us are constantly building it. As such, I shall pronounce it a love and hate affair.

.. which, marriage is also the same, isn't it?
