Actually, there were a lot, but if I have to choose one, I want to talk about an event that happened about two years ago in a meeting. Actually, it's not a real meeting; it's more like a party with my colleagues. At that time, we played a game to draw the lucky person to sing a song, and I got that, so it was terrible for me because I'm not good at singing. It was difficult for me to find a song that I could sing, and finally, I decided to choose one song. It's not a modern song; it's from about 20 years ago, and some people might not know that song. I started to sing, and because my voice was not good and I couldn't catch the rhythm of the song, it was terrible for me. I felt embarrassed and shy at that time. Since I had no choice, I just tried to do my best. When I finished, luckily, the people who listened to my voice didn't say anything bad to me; they just laughed a little bit at my performance. But when I quit my show, everything just became silent. Thankfully, the moderator at that time changed the situation to make it much more fun and encouraged everyone not to criticize my performance. Yeah, that's the only time I really don't want to engage in that situation again.
