Amusing people make us laugh. I wanna to be but I am not.
I’ m very good at adapting to different kinds of people – I’m rather open-minded, but I am serious-minded during my duty times – I tend not to like people who are not serious.
Ladies tend to talk a lot about fashion. Sorry, I am not so keen on that.
I’m obsessed with coffee and I has a passion for aviation.
(notes of pronunciation: has a = “Has-sa”)
I feel that I am not an outgoing person. I don’t say much when I first meet with new people. I’m rather introverted. People feel dull when they chat with me.
Indeed, I tend to be a good listener rather than shouting at each other. I am not argumentative.
Sometime, if I am interested in specific topic, I become very talkative. Not intentionally, I give a false sense to others that I am loud.
I always remind myself being a humble person. Some people are smart but they are little arrogant as they always think they are right. Arrogant person is rather rude.
FYI, I’m against smoking and I am in favour of banning smoking completely.
Would you like working with me?
