Nevertheless, I am grate I went through, although I had to redo project 2. Thanks Sam, my mentor for the motivation. He's my role model sia, within 1 year already managed to attain ACB. Thanks Peter Lee was the motivational speech on "just do it", thanks Jimmy on the "pursue of happiness" that taught me the moment of life is to have fun at that moment, "Why So Serious".
If anyone interested to see my unfinished speech, that I brought up to stage on my Samsung I9000 screen:
You know you are a children of 80s when:
Today i will be speaking on generation difference very broadly. They are classed into 3 category. Gen x, y and z. And I will be touching more on the gen Y because I am a generation Y myself. I am going to share my experience as a children of 80s, what are some of the things that not longer seen in the recent years. Lastly, I will say how the 80s children are different and how to integrate us into your company.
Who in their secondary school life listens to walkman cassette tape? You are the Gen X
Who in their secondary school life listens to discman / MD? You are the Gen Y
So make a guess where Gen Z listen their music. NOOOO they listen their music through "Cloud"
Today we are not talking about Gen X or Gen Z. I want to talk about Gen Y. Children of the 80s
You know that you are a Gen Y when:
You find pager to be cool. You know the pager code 1771554 stands for miss you. 5121314 stands for I love you for the rest of my life.
You will keep all those cool bus ticket with nice number combination, folded in heart shape and put in in your wallet but all others at the back of the seat cushion. Last time when I take bus, I always had the chance to scrutinise all those mini "advertisement" on the back of the seat. Etc calling who who who for certain services so on and so fore. Nowadays advertise on back of the seat is banned.
If you grew up reading books from bookworm club and watch cartoon like Tom and Jerry, the two immoral cat and mouse chasing each other all day. The funny thing about Tom and Jerry is, you will ever know the ending of the story. I sometime even question myself, is there an ending to their misery. But if you are born after the 80s, you most likely be watching anime instead. You see, if you ask me, I profound classified these 2 by its origin. Cartoon as american production and anime as Japanese production. Right? No wrong. Cartoon and anime now differentiate you from a cool guy and a not so cool guy. Nowadays, if you ask youngster what they do for past time, they will proudly tell you, they watch anime like Naruto and bleach. You know it acceptable. I don't know why, but if teenager comes up and tells me that he spend his time watching cartoon, I think he is probably gay.
Autograph book
If you are children of 80s, you will remember Singapore football as a glory against Malaysia. Star player like Fandi ahmad, steven tan, lim tong hai, Sundramoothy, david lee brought Singapore a glory victory in 1994. Now we can't even pronoun our soccer player names anymore. I still remember when I was a little kid, my father brought me to Pahang Stadium to watch Malaysia cup. Which Singaporean nowadays still cross over borders to catch Singapore football? What a great time to remember that time, for me at least. Ever since then, we introduced S league, our singapore team is no longer so singaporean anymore. The good old time of kallang wave and chanting of oled oled just faded away toward the end 90s.
So if the above sound familiar to you, then congratulation you and I are the same frequency. We are the generation Y population a.k.a the Millennials. Unlike the Gen Z, we are not born natively in the world wide web era. Nevertheless, we grew through the internet era. We are the hybrid between five stones, pesi cola 1,2,3 and also counter strike and dota. We got the best of both worlds.
We generally more ambitious, more brand conscious and tend to hop around job more often. We have limited loyalty to our company, insist on working in a simulating job environment. We talk about job satisfaction and work life balance.
So how do company going to integrate the 80s into their company. We are tech savvy, make use of us. SOme people can easily create website, modelling and simple marketing tools like the new media. Make use of us to make us feels worthy.
Give us challenging task or problem to solve.
