There's always days where you just feel saturated... information overload, overwhelmed.
I have been helping out my colleague to supervise a training session conducted by a grp of "ang mos" supplier this week. The effort to try to strike a conversation or even maintaining the small talks is really mentally draining.
First thing is my pronunciation. Apparently they cant seem to understand my slang and frankly speaking, they can only understand when you fake that Westerner accent. Second thing is their own slangs. "I need to get a popper" means "I want to get a soft drink"etc. Third thing is the stress talking to native speakers. You will tend to speak very carefully to the extent you look very fake. It's so tiring. The things they crap about is also very diff from what we crap about.
It's all a good learning experience I believe.
Gym tomorrow during lunch time to relieve my stress and swimming during fri's lunch too. 2.4km run every night to ramp up my fitness and a long distance run during the weekend.
Exercising keeps me sane. Completely.
