this post might tell the readers a little deeper about me. especially of my way communicating and my preferences. i always start with the background, recent progress, and conclusion. the background may take me back to a decade ago. the time when i was so obsessed studying foreign languange, which now has taken control of my writing ability lol, i didnt predict that! lol. the recent even might relate so much with works. i will try to make it more exciting.
at first i didnt quite recognize my talent in languange. all i knew i enjoyed the english course so much. i even stole sometimes to study at school for a test in the english course lol. i was more concern to get sparkling grade in the course than at school. dad's way of encouraging me was quite different. so at school times i wasnt permitted to read comic books, can you imagine...a kid that age and not allowed to read comic books?...boy it was a tough time. instead, he told me to read english novel for teen.
oh yea..i must say i like reading a lot. when i just could read, mom subscribed me to a child magazine. then i would refused her call whenever i read it because i didnt want to miss any line. when i miss the last line, i would read it back from the starting word lol. and i love to make the magazine and books stay tidy, so i dont like to fold any of the page. not even the tip of the page. unless when i really have to.
then comes the adult age. the gadget age. the working age. communication is of the essence. how we convey ideas, and what we say to others influence our career and future. before the gadget came, i was always fascinated by email. it replaced most of the postal office works. i always view post office as a romantic place. there is trust, waiting, and delivering involved and mixed into one sustainable services. unfortunately i wasnt the type of girl who got love letter from a guy...lol but the idea of getting love letter from postal service is still so romantic to me LOL. the gadget age developed my fascination of email to another dimension. i dont have to find internet connection to check email anymore. my blackberry push mail was highly reliable. now that my gadgets are android...i am disappointed of how it cannot surpass the reliability of blackberry push mail. i mostly always use the unlimited blackberry package so i can use the push mail service. the always must come with a red strong highlight ;).
in professional world...one time a supervisor looked at my blackberry gadget and somehow concluded that i cannot see email from my phone. until today this is quite an enormous joke to me. never ever believe when i said i cannot open email on my phone. emails are surprisingly my number one priority. more than phone calls, or message through social media. i have 5 email accounts, and yes all of them are active, and checked frequently. communication through email is so essential to me. if i meet a guy, and he asked from my phone number, i will not automatically hope he will call me. but if he asks for my email, he will automatically be so hot for me..LOL
communicating through written words are much preferable. its documented, recorded, saved in a reliable archive and accessible countless times. i will always like reply email on time rather than reply call or text message on time. today i have to work at home. its weekend...and yesterday's work is still not cleared. i feel like i'm chasing my boss' approval. moreover i felt he was so hectic yesterday that he forgot to email me. after his approval, i was on calls, text message and emails with a travel agent. the lady on the other line is mom's frequent travel agent. she emailed me and i replied on time.
the revealing fact was that, even though today's tech development is almost unstoppable, my communication preference remains the same. this maybe highly related to my previous blackberry gadget, and also my past habit of reading. people around me always act on phone. and yes of course i do feel that some matter are quickly solved via four eyes meeting or conversation on the phone, but i would love to see the real progress on email, still.
