Every time someone joined a new company, had a meeting or meeting up with friends and new friends, a very important skill that one should master is the skill in remembering names. Not only remember names, we need to remember name and associate their name with the correct person. Being new in the company, there are tones of names and title to remember. It tends to be easier when someone has an English name. Or else i will take twice the effort to remember a Chinese translated name. I think one of the important points to remember someone name is to repeat his/her name in your mind few times after he/she has introduced themselves. Or else, in my case, for sure I can’t even recall his/her name 10 minutes later.
Other than that, I have to get used to the short form a company normally used. For example, last time when I was in an Accounting Firm, IRB normally stands for Inland Revenue Board, a body that in charge with taxes matters. The IRB HP refers to is Investment Review Board. There are so many short forms used here. Not a big deal, I just need some time to get used to it.

My current company's colleague especially those Guai Loo alwiz have problems on pronouncing or remembering my name. One easiest way to get them to remember my name is - "Shall we Dance?" - Shall we? and here you go - Shiau Hwee. :)
I think currently something wrong with the blogspot access in China again. I cant access to pkblog anymore but surprisingly I can access blogspot in my office! Really dun understand what is going on here......Confused!
Shall we dance, it is a good way to remember your name and it will stay as an impression too if you introduce yourself in that way.
I have difficulties to access your pkblog sometimes.....
My dear, if you are in Malaysia, you can access my blog thru this website - www.shtan0925.blogspot.com and you do not use pkblog to access my blog. Pkblog is only for those friends in China as the blog is restricted/banned in China.
继续发帖， 继续博客。。。。
