So, What Is It?
12:53am - 20 March 2008 - 264 views -Posted in: Daily
A while back, I was made to introduce myself to a certain bunch of people. I was supposed to answer a few simple, fundamental questions which were as generic as they can be - Where are you from? What about your background? What are your interests?
No sweat, so I thought. I introduced myself accordingly, including details of my birthplace and a little of my personal background with little hesitation. Until I started to think of my interests to talk about.
It was then when I realized I had nothing in mind which I would readily acknowledge as my interest.
Ask any 6-year-old kid and he or she would probably give you an answer spontaneously. But I couldn’t. I stammered on the simplest possible question.
I had putting a bit of thought on that matter for a while now. But even if someone were to ask me the question again now, I still can’t give a straight answer.
you’re not the only one.

No doubt, I do like cats. I love them.
But it’s not something I can do, not something I can invest my time in - excluding the idea of rearing cats, which is a different story.

Isn’t your interest in IT gadget or Computing stuff???
Hoo! I answer FUTSAL everytime when I was asked that question and it always, without fail, attracted a lot more people to know more about that topic, except if you were asked by women, they’d turn you off!
Btw, why bother to answer that question so accurately and thoughtful? Just go with your feeling… sure something pops out of your mouth, even if you had to say “no interest in anything…”!
Just be yourself @ work.

Orange Coloured Electronic cats would be a summary?

They were my interests at one point of time, when I’d be glad to readily admit that. But I honestly have to say that I no longer feel the same.
It’s not a strictly work-related issue. Even if you were to ask me now, I don’t have a ready answer. “No interest in anything” sounds like something I’ll be using in the near future.

It would have been more accurate some time ago.

To a certain extent, but not as much as before.
