dear all, if u needmy help regarding writing a certain article for some project .. pls let me noe =)


Business Ettiquette
Many of us dun understand the importance of maintaining ourselves and grooming ourselves to the fullest. i shall state a few example;

one example
there was this day i was dining at a with my boss at a well-known hotel with good food, great ambience and needless to say - more than 1 set of fork and spoon to perform the "operation" on.

On my right was a decent couple tempting on the steak, slicing the medium rare part bit by bit and carefully placing the sliced meat on the fork before popping it into their mouth (not popping literally!)

on my left was a another couple sipping coffee, and stirring it with a lollipop-looking stirur with brown sugar on it.

Our order arrived ( a green sandwich) and my boss and i had to be carefull with the food as we are sharing one huge plate together. The strange part is there were 2 fork - one bigger and the other smaller. There were also a butter-spread knife and a steak-knife. Obviously the normal human will use the steal knife to slice the bread before each using our hands to carry the bread and bite into them--- U ARE WRONG!

As my boss begin to slice a bit of the bread using the steak-knife, he uses the butter-spread knife to slice a bit of the margarine before placing them on the bread. he then carefully spread them well before passing it to me. This mean i was to do the same and i did so with panic.





Why are we not prepared to handle situation like this? Does the every-day hawker centre develope the habit of just eating straight from what we see in front of us?

i was not happy, i din wan to be a laughing stock ever again should such incident happen.

and the fact is i cannot actually
-hold a chopstick the correct way
-brew tea like a traditional woman
-enjoy fragrance of a cup of tea
-correct if crossing the spoon and fork means "i am done with my eating" or "please leave me alone as i am not done"

we all know one day this willl came upon, just dunno where. I felt there is a serious need to develope that bit of etiqutte in every one of us. Just enough to handle
-wedding dinner
-dining at exquisite hotel
-coffee by a cottage style cafe

with a knowledge in doing all this. we will then sieve ourselves a level higher from others. It just did,, dun ask me how.

i hope i am convincing enough for the world to take action.. hehe..
