Another day in Worthy Book!

In Worthy Book, there’s so much happening throughout the week. All of us in Worthy Book enjoy the thrill of meeting new challenges and are willing to commit ourselves into our job.

But!

In Worthy Book, it’s not just all work but not play, we just had a sharing session few days ago. Around 5.45pm, all of the staffs are asked to gather in the “living room”. The excitement started to build up as everyone was so busy chit-chatting (because they get to take a break from their work hahaha!), some just trots around like an excited kid while the others just crash themselves into the beanbags with maximum chill.

After everyone settled down to their most comfortable position, Vara gave all of us a piece of paper consisting a number in random without letting us know what’s the gist of it. When everyone has gotten their paper, turns out that the number represents the sequence of sharing! Most of us had a short panic attack, but Vara states that this is just an open sharing that all of us can literally share anything, even NSFW topics 😁

As our second sharing session of the month commences, Suet Li, one of our members in sales team took the lead and initiated the session of her sharing her favorite food. Suet Li claims that Penang “Laksa” was the best food in the whole universe (it was very exaggerating, but she looked very serious). All of us were so curious where does the legendary “laksa” stall was located, but none of us knew even after Suet Li explained 😧. The baton was then passed to Vara where she shared with us about some tips and trick regarding methods and ways of efficient sleep. She even introduced us apps that can help us to “schedule” our sleep. From levels of sleep to the correct ways of sleeping, all of us were amused on how informative her sharing was. There was one thing Vara shared with us which was very useful to maintain attention and to gain short term mental alertness is to have a “power nap” before doing work or study. A 20-minute power nap (or even longer) are scientifically proven as it can effectively increase alertness and enhance motor-learning skills such as playing the piano.

As the sharing goes on, we found out that other members also had something up under their sleeves!

Now, for some interesting facts about our Worthy Book members…

Nathiya, one of our admin in Worthy Book was actually doing a mini business where she sells Indian traditional costumes! She took different type of Indian costumes such as Sari, Dhoti and the like from her friend and promotes them through words of mouth. She is now considering to “upgrade” her mini business to online business, wish her luck!

Justine, members of the sales team knows how to do Yoga! She had been learning Yoga for 2 years, specifically “Iyengar Yoga” which the word “Iyengar” originates from a name of a person. Justine is now a semi-pro and she even performed a full 180 degree split in front of us!

Kelvian, who just joined Worthy Book weeks ago said that he had literally broken every vital joint and bones in his body before as he played Frisbee as a sport back in his high school. All of us were so shocked after knowing that, but don’t worry! He’s fine and standing strong right now.😌

Suanne, our General Manager in Worthy Book had an interesting pastime which she love to go for spa and massage at least once in a week. She specifically stated that she doesn’t like Thai-styled massage because she felt Thai-styled massage was too extreme for her 😱. Besides, Suanne claimed that massaging can soothe your muscles and release our tension and stress. Right now most of us were so tempted to go to try massaging!

Yi Tong, another intern, on the other hand loves to read and reading is her biggest hobby! Her favorite author is Jodi Picult who wrote “House Rules”, “The Storyteller” and “Leaving Time”. Jodi Picult is an author who excels in dissecting and portraying the tangle of family relationships and the counterbalance of love. If you are keen to novels of the similar genre (love/ general fiction), you may want to check her book out!

Wee Long is the new guy in Worthy Book. When it is his turn to share something, Sabilla, an intern who also joined Worthy Book not long ago threw a question at him where all of us wanted to ask him for a long time since he joined us…

“Why are you always wearing formal attire?”

All of us burst into laughter immediately after Sabilla finished her question, because all of us in the office was wearing casual outfit except for Wee Long. However, Wee Long side of story is that he thinks wherever he is under a working place or a working environment, he is accustomed to formal wear.

“I actually like casual wear more than formal wear, especially long pants, I hated it.” Wee Long claimed.

Sorry Wee Long, we don’t meant to tease you! 😛

Claudia, also doing her internship in Worthy Book says that she’s a big movie-holic. She states that she had spent a ginormous amount of money on movie tickets and popcorns which is enough to feed a family of three 😜. Jokes aside, her favorite movie is “Sing 2016” directed by Garth Jennings. If you are interested, go ahead and watch it online!

Last but not least, Joanne, our intern designer, Giselle, our permanent designer and Joyce, also doing her internship in Worthy Book shared some difficulties they met in their work. They proposed several ways to tackle stress and heavy work load. They also advised us some important values we should adopt in workplace such as tolerance, acceptance and respect. All of us had a mutual understanding and agreed to what they had shared.

Did I mention Xavier and Sabilla?

Sabilla is a bit shy and only managed to introduce herself to us. It’s OK Sabilla, we’ll prepare lots of questions for you in the next sharing session!

As for Xavier…he was rushing for bus that day. In the end, he only briefly introduced himself and rushed back to the office to pack his stuff. 😁 He is doing his intern as well, and his hobby is plastic modeling, reading and gaming. He also writes short stories on his blog! If you ask me how do I know his hobby and such...well…because I’m the one writing this blog 😳

The sharing session readily ends around 6.20pm. All of us carries a special piece we shared among ourselves and we hope this special piece will remain in our pocket for a long, long time.

Sharing is never a boring thing to do.

The most cliché statement may still be the truest, as everyone says…Sharing is caring!

See you in the next one.

Good bye, so long!
