Communication

no, not telecommunication. but human interaction. face to face talking, gesturing, signaling bla bla. any way to communicate with other people. but does the receiving side understand us most of the time?

look at me. i mumble a lot and talk through my nose sometimes (so i'm told) so i guess sometimes its hard to understand what im trying to say or even care what im saying. but at my work place, i'm hit with a barrage of miscommunication and bad communication and everything in between the two.

this morning some malay dood strolled in right up to me and mumbled : klopacs. huh?? i stared at him blankly trying to get what he just said. what the heck are klopacs? he had to repeat it a few more times with some crude hand language until i realised he was looking for err CLOTHES PEGS. = = swt betul.

some people cant even communicate properly to the point where they have to use sign language ONLY. cuz people cant understand them whatsoever if they talk. if they're really talking. lol. and even then some really unfortunate people suck at sign language. kesian..... some fella swung his hands around in some oval shape when he was really asking for a garden hose head. what's the connection? then again some old lady had to have 5 of us around her suggesting what she was looking for for 5 mins before we could tell what she wanted. lol.

so communication is really important. especially in the business world where we have to interact with rival companies and our bosses, co-workers, employees and so on. without proper communication we would be kinda like a lost drunk guy. who nobody'll pay attention to after a while. hou sadty wor~~ in thomas and shin yee terms. haha. cheers!

and this stupid cough still isn't going away. damnit.
