Shan’s thoughts on YOU, recession, depression and Facebook

I just got onto Facebook yesterday and it was a phenomenal experience! Wow!

Now I know why people can get addicted to Facebook. It is a social networking tool that relies a lot on psychological principles.

It’s addictive because:

1. You know that there are people behind the screen who are clicking and moving their mouse for YOU.
2. They are doing this because they are THINKING of you.
3. If they are thinking of you, it means that they FEEL some sort of emotions for you, be it LIKE or LOVE or CURIOSITY or HATE, etc (I think hate will not come into the picture because you can ignore them)
4. This makes you feel LOVED, WANTED, NEEDED, IMPORTANT, VALUED, FAMOUS, ESTEEMED, which is vital for the emotive side of people.

A smile is a heart-to-heart communication: it emanates from your heart, radiates on your face, and lights up the hearts of others – Yip Pei Shan

The best things happen when you least expect it! I was attending a party at Gallery Hotel and was lured by the pretty flutist playing beautiful music at the restaurant on the second level. Mr. exceptional extraordinaire, Caron Ong, appeared immediately with a shanshiney smile and asked if I would like to dine.  I declined while expressing my wish to listen to the flutist.  Unperturbed, Caron invited us to take a seat to listen.  This was the first time I went to a restaurant without ordering anything, and had the brightest smiles given generously and willingly!  Not only from Caron, but from the other service crew as well as the pretty flutist!

Having listened to a couple of pieces played by the flutist, we ventured to leave.  However, Mr. exceptional extraordinaire, Caron, not only bade us farewell with another shanshine smile, he gave us beautiful calendars on the house!  Exceptional service from this Shanshine Smiler indeed!

Generous bright shanshine smiles, beautiful flutist, gorgeous calendars, I’m going back there next time not just to have an audio and visual feast, but to have a gastronomic delight!  I am psychosomatically convinced the food there is great already, thanks to Caron and his wonderful team at Gallery Hotel, 1 Nanson Road, Robertson Quay.

I salute you, Caron, Mr. exceptional extraordinaire!
