Complexity meets simplicity..
2nd time i'm typing this.. already feeling kind of low liaox then the server muz make it worse.. utterly disappointed and depressed right now.. interview at nus faculty of science was a major disaster. can't believe i'm such a klutz.. i actuali blew my chances by being so ill-informed.. shall fill u ppl on wat went on during the 15 mins or so.. in future u all shall haf better insight..
first thing when i entered the room, was introduced to a panel of 2 interviewers. #1 mistake i made was to shake only 1 of the gentlemen's hand.. sigh..
then came the unmerciless questions that only seem to magnify my ignorance. asked mi wat course m i applying for.. answered chemistry. reason? cos i'm interested in chem. duhx.. how intelligent can my reply be? probed further as to y the particular interest.. left mi totally speechless, unable to come up wid an answer.. well.. how am i supposed to explain? it juz came naturally mahx.. thankfully they left it at dat seeing dat i'm unable to come up wid a valid reason.. then asked mi how much do i noe about nus? i was completely taken aback.. i din do any research.. managed a feeble response dat i onli noe it is the #4 university.. (n it was wrong! it's #18).. duhx.. 1 of the guy was lyk saying "u wanna come to this sch but u noe nuthin about it?" well.. wat can i sae? i'm not here to learn nus history am i? tried to make an excuse by saying i do not noe ppl from nus.. mj being a new sch n no seniors to learn from.. then asked mi if i read? stuttered and stammered.. it's been ages since i last touch a book.. sae i watch tv mostly.. guess their impression of mi is getting worse by the minute. then asked if i read the news? yar, during my work lorx.. n so they asked mi wat's my take on the setting up of casino? told them i'm all for it.. in the economic point of view.. wat wid more jobs being generated n all.. n perhaps i'll be able to get a job there? he shoot back n sae:" u study chem then u wanna work in a casino?" made my mind go blank again.. then blabberred some nonsense lyk perhaps i can use chemistry to attract tourists? u noe lyk magicians? another 'smart' answer from mi.. bolted them into laughter.. then asked mi wat's my social perspective on this matter? gave an incoherent case to argue for.. contradicting myself n all.. sigh.. i tink my brain is reali in a mess lorx.. wat was i even tinking of? can't even express myself properly.. subsequently asked if i've gotten any reply from ntu n whether i'll take up the offer.. replied i would still consider nus as my ideal sch n even if i can't get into science i'll opt for arts n social science.. dat's so 'smart' of mi again.. i'm actuali giving them the idea dat i wun mind being offered my 2nd choice? another Big mistake i made was at the end of the interview.. din shake their hands.. i noe i should.. but they were juz sitting there n i found it difficult to extend my hands.. argh! i tink i should reali bang my head against the wall.. so well.. there goes my dream of getting into my #1 choice.. bye nus~
guess i'm feeling better now.. basically gorging myself wid chocolates.. wid 1 whole slab of cadbury choc and encouragements from val n him made mi feel much much better now.. asked mi to be more optimistic. i sure wish i can.. anywae thanks for all ur support. :P hopefully he reali meant it when he said to meet up when free?
interview at sistic was quite a breeze. though now i'm seriously contemplating the prospects of working there.. not exactly very appealing i'd sae.. so will see how first.. lyk val said.. i muz tink thrice.
if only i'm ur girlfriend,
i'll treasure u..
