關於 what are soft skills ，我們在網路上蒐集到這些相關的討論、資訊與評價

The most satisfying bowl of Vietnamese Pho in recent years, from a young couple only offer private dinner service. Dishes are cooked with skills , ideas & heart. Pho on the menu is particularly fond of us , it’s simply outstanding! The broth looks thick but actually the flavour is clean , with intense sweetness from beef bones, and the spices in the broth is a delicate handling of balanced combination. Generous amount of fresh herbs are prepared (as usual) , however , what surprised us a lot is the deep fried shredded banana flowers , it enhanced the flavour to another level after adding to the pho!!! Act like a secret weapon completely !!!
Lastly : raw beef is Korean beef prepared by the host —— rich meat flavour & soft-velvety texture , which made this a perfect bowl of Pho.

近年吃過最滿意的一碗越式牛河，出自一對年輕夫婦主理的越南菜私宴，他們只做上門到會，許多菜式做得巧手有想法，牛河相當出色，湯頭看似濃厚，其實味道非常清甜、裡頭的香料味均衡細緻！配料方面當然少不了常規的大量各式香草，更上一層樓的是還凖備了大量炸過的切絲香蕉花，加入牛河一起吃，香氣四溢，更添美味！最後必須一提：生牛肉片是主人家自備的韓牛，牛味濃郁肉質軟滑，就這樣成就了一碗完美的牛河，吃罷幸福感油然而生。

After I posted on my leave plans on Sunday, a few of you asked what was on my reading list, so I am sharing some books I have read / am reading / or hope to read. Three of the books are available from the National Library Singapore. Do check out the NLB app (iOS: https://go.gov.sg/moiqhc | Android: https://go.gov.sg/hu17bc). It is a marvellous resource, and you will definitely be able to discover many books to suit your interests.

[ Nuclear Folly, a History of the Cuban Missile Crisis
by Serhii Plokhy ]
The Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962 brought the world to the brink of nuclear war. I had read "13 Days", the short memoir by Robert Kennedy about it as a teenager, and later Graham Allison's "Essence of Decision", a seminal study using the Crisis to analyse decision making from different perspectives. Both were mainly based on US records. Plokhy's book draws on Soviet archives, to present events from both the US and Soviet points of view. Many mistakes were made on both sides. The saving grace was that both President John Kennedy and General Secretary Nikita Khrushchev desperately wanted to avoid a nuclear war. But even then the two sides avoided a nuclear exchange only by a hair’s breadth, and only by chance, because events once set in motion were no longer entirely within the two leaders' control. A gripping read.

[ The Bilingual Brain, and what it tells us about the science of language
by Albert Costa ]
Having learnt several languages myself, and grappled with our bilingualism policy in schools, this book was a natural choice. I am still reading it. Did you know that a newborn infant already recognises and prefers the language (or languages) which their mother spoke while they were in her womb, and within hours of birth can also distinguish between two different languages that they have never heard before? Infants pick up a language (or two) naturally in their first years, but learning a second or third language later in life is much harder. This book explains why.

[ Capturing Light, the Heart of Photography
by Michael Freeman ]
A book about the different sorts of light, how they influence the photo you take, and how to use them to create the effect and mood that you want. Photographers know about the golden hour and blue hour, hard light and soft light, direct and indirect lighting, front and back lighting, haze, mist and fog, and so many more variations. The book includes lots of the author’s photos illustrating his points, taken over many years. Hope to pick up something from reading it. But the key in photography (as in so many other skills) is to practise and practise, if you want to improve.

[ Bettering Humanomics, A New, and Old, Approach to Economic Science
by Deidre Nansen McCloskey ]
The author, a distinguished economist, argues that economics is not just about incentives and institutions, mathematical models and observed behaviour. It should take a broader, more humanistic approach, paying attention to ethics and values, “what people believe, and the stories they tell one another”, as one reviewer put it. Certainly in government we must think about these broader factors all the time, while making sure we get the economics right. Not just in trade and industry or finance, but also in national development, education, health, manpower, sustainability and the environment, social and family development, and so much of public policy. I haven't read this book yet, but saw an enthusiastic book review, and look forward to reading the book itself.

Happy reading! – LHL

What differentiate you from others , when other things are relatively the same ?

Many studies and researches have proven,
85 % of success is attributed to soft skills,
only 15% percent comes from technical skills.
I think mindset and mentality represent each person the most , from the angle that they look at things and put into actions.

DROP DOWN SOME COMMENTS & LET ME KNOW WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE ME DO NEXT SO I CAN IMPROVE ON MY EDITING SKILLS :) HEHE
Also would like to know if i should start Vlogging!!!

Would be lovely to know what you guys think xx

Ok, so my Mandarin isn't that great because I was born and raised in Virginia, but I am seriously trying!! I really really love this song by Katy Perry. I don't usually get touched by songs, but her song "Thinking of You" is extremely touching (check it out if you haven't). But while listening to it for the 5948th time, I started making up Mandarin words to go with it. Making the Mandarin Version of this was really to practice my lyric writing skills. Please don't sue me, Katy Perry, for using/ruining your song, I love you. haha

The basic idea of the song's lyrics is the guy's response to Katy Perry's original lyrics. I guess it's as if she dated a Chinese guy and he's talking back in Mandarin hahahaha.

**sorry if the audio is a bit soft, I don't know how to solve that problem***

Ok well, below are the lyrics and also the English translations. Let me know what you guys think. I'm sure I probably made a few grammar/word mistakes here and there, or some parts prolly sound a bit awkward.

Verse 1：
好久不見 你最近過的好嗎？ 現在我們只像普通朋友
當你牽著他的手會不會想起 我 不太習慣看見 你 和 他

你曾經說你愛過我 看來那曾經已經過期了

Chorus：
愛上他之後 有沒有 想過我 想過我 如果沒有
請坦白的說 我就肯 讓你走 就希望我能懂的怎麼往前走

Verse 2：
還記得那年夏天我們一起旅行 那時 手牽手的溫柔 很難去忘記
晚上躺在濕的草上往著天空 你說 那些星星代表 你 和 我

我現在終於明白了 那兩顆星（心）永遠是分開的

Chorus：
愛上他之後 有沒有 想過我 想過我 如果沒有
請坦白的說 我就肯 讓你走 就希望最後 說無所謂的人是

我 犯了多少錯 才讓你死心的 決定 要離開我
我 沒法選擇了 只能從遠遠的 祝你 永遠 快樂

Chorus：
愛上他之後 有沒有 想過我 想過我 如果沒有
請坦白的說 我就肯 讓你走 就希望最後 說無所謂的人

是我 沒有好好把握 空口白話太多 我只要求你
想起關於我的記憶 是美滿的 然後我就肯 懂得怎麼 往前走



TRANSLATION:

VERSE 1:
It's been awhile
Have you been doing well?
Now, it seems like we are just regular friends
When you hold his hand, do you ever think of me?
I'm not too used to seeing you with him.

You said you once loved me
Seems like that "once" has already expired

CHORUS:
After you fell in love with him do you ever think of me?
think of me? If you don't
just tell me honestly, so I can let you go
I just hope that I will understand how to move on.

VERSE 2:
Do you remember that summer when we traveled together
the warmth of us holding hands, is unforgettable.
At night, we layed on the wet grass facing the sky
and you said those stars represented you and I.

I finally understand what you meant now.
Those two stars (hearts) are forever apart.

CHORUS:
After you fell in love with him do you ever think of me?
think of me? If you don't
just tell me honestly, so I can let you go
I just hope that in the end, the one to say "it doesn't matter" is me

how many wrongs have I committed
to make you give up and decide to leave me?
I have no other choice
but to stand from afar and wish you the best

After you fell in love with him do you ever think of me?
think of me? If you don't
just tell me honestly, so I can let you go
I just hope that in the end the one to say "it doesn't matter"

is me
the one who didn't grasp it
the one who gave too many empty promises
I just ask for one thing:

when you think of memories of me, let them be happy ones
and then I'll be willing to learn how to move on
