Interpersonal skills are by far the most important skills one will need to hone in order to get around easily socially. I think I do lack certain key skills in trying to be better at socialising. Being Asian, socialising always seem to be a problem not only for myself but for many others who are Asian as well.
As usual I like browsing the web for self help tips and hopefully find some ideas to improve myself. I found 8 great simple tips that may help me improve myself in building. Check it out!!!

The Gift of Listening
But you must really listen. Don't interrupt, don't daydream, don't plan your response. Just listen.
The Gift of Affection
Be generous with appropriate hugs, kisses, pats on the back and handholds. Let these small actions demonstrate the love you have for family and friends.
The Gift of Laughter
Clip cartoons. Share articles and funny stories. Your gift will say, "I love to laugh with you."
The Gift of Solitude
There are times when we want nothing better than to be left alone. Be sensitive to those times and give the gift of solitude to others.
The Gift of a Favor
Everyday, go out of your way to do something kind.
The Gift of a Written Note
It can be a simple "Thanks for the help" note or a full sonnet. A brief, handwritten note may be remembered for a lifetime.
The Gift of a Compliment
A simple and sincere, "You look great in red," "You did a super job," or "That was a wonderful meal" can make someone's day.
The Gift of a Cheerful Disposition
The easiest way to feel good is to extend a kind word to someone.

I have to admit I have problems with The Gift of Affection. I'm not a hugger ... not physically demonstrative. I'll have to work on that one, I guess!
