I had a communication breakdown with someone from other countries in work some time ago. Of course, there's no racist's remark here as he/she were brought up in a different culture and surrounding in his/her own country. It all started when I received a call from that person 'telling' me something which he/she was working on then. I have already knock-off and thus, I was listening to a long story which related to my IT system. He/ she neither asking me a question or requesting me for something. The person can speak good english so there's nothing to do with language. I got irritated and ask him/her what's the intend of the call and is it a question or a request. Then he/she started the story again! I cut his/her story short by asking again what he/she wants? Then, he/she told me it's better to discuss in office but that didn't happen and it's history.
I guess to avoid communication breakdowns, most importantly is to check what's the intend of calling a person, whether it's a question, making a statement or asking for a request with a short background. Anyway, I guess the person was stressed.
Oh, btw, I heard a lot about Thai boat noodles and was at one outlet in Bedok Point last week.
But somehow, I ended up having a Basil Chicken Rice as I wanted to have rice since I am starving. Maybe I visit that outlet again and try it out! hahaha....
Have a good weekend!
