Today we have 2 visitors from Paris. once again boss drag me in to entertain them.. they are actually production operational team on mission to consolidate different region (asia/europe/america..) production operations strategy.. they wanted to pick up what they think is good and applicable to Paris.
Im wondering..isn't Parias more advance than us in Singapore ? why it's the other way round? they come and learn from us ? a joke ? then one of them explained that european esp French very difficult adapt to changes, they prefer to stay6 in their comfort zone and so long that tools/methods are not giving problem or obstacle or production defects they will stick on to it than improving it... Thus he is on this mission to consolidate our methods of running the productions and bring back home to review if applicable there..
neeway, one of them is actually canadian who has been staying in France for more than 8 years. He likes france but nott he people.. haaa.. he is only 29. young chap !and cute looking though. Very adventurous in trying out Asian food. esp spicy food. and we even brought them to Ya Kum Kaya Toast.. They actually finish their cup of copi -O & kaya toast. BRAVO !!!
Our Singapore French COO cant even take the kopi-o there.. last time we bought for him, he took one sip and no more for him as he used to drink expresso those small little cup and super thick coffee..
That explains why most French has bad breath cos they drink thick coffee.. haaa...
one of the french guy said he has 4 kids.. and he doesn't have a Tv at home cos he doesn't want his kids to stick on to the tv whole day. It's easy to switch on but hard to get them to switch off.. WOW ! can u believe it ? i wonder if any parents in s'pore educate their child this way. He said they spend time by doing other things like play tennis/sailing, driving his kids to this and that location for their activties..so basically, he is trying to say without tv their life is much fulfilling with actual activities..mmm.....
Each time we meet with french cols we have different sharings.. it's quite fun to know abt their style and they habits comparing to ours
It has been ages since i had my diary written somewhere.. sometimes i feel like starting again but never get to do it.. now with the convenience of blog.. i may begin where i left off..
