Salam.

I hate making small talks. I don’t really fancy events where you need to mingle around so that you’ll be able to establish networks and ‘make friends’. I don’t mind the occasional, meet someone new and get to know them, but when its at events that you know people are just there so that they can take advantage of you later on, I feel like running away.

I was at an event with my dad today for IJN. Not to say its one of those things that I mentioned earlier, but it was along those lines. Mak saya takde, pergi kerja kat Kuantan, so I had to fill in for her. It wasn’t too bad, I did meet a lot of interesting and famous people and I got to dress up :D

I think I have always been one of those people who prefers to do the background job instead of the one who gets to go up and take the credit and the fame. I prefer being the one who does the dirty work and builds the foundation daripada pergi attend bende2 macam nih. No offence to them, but I do feel as if its all a bit fake sometimes. there a genuine people out there, but, c’mon, lets be realistic, you could probably count them with your hands.

Dulu, when I was a part of the MSSM commitee, there were a few events that we had to attend as certain VIPs would be there. It would  be good oppurtunity for us to make ourselves known so that nanti senang nak mintak sponsor untuk M night. Uggghh, I so did not like it. I felt as if I’m being rude or something. Bukan ape, macam nak amik kesempata jer rase. Good for those who are good and are able to do it, because I for one, was not comfortable with it. In the end, I ended up directing M night pun, bukan cari sponsor.

I guess, this is one of the main reasons why I want to be a doctor – you do a lot of hands on jobs, not mere administration and corporate stuff. I aspire to be like my mom one day. She has spent her whole career being a public servant. I admire that and I hope I can do the same thing one day :)
