dsta interview today was quite ok. Had fun toking actually, prob coz i often get quite scared before such things and when it turns out better than expected i feel really good?

Anw it's only the beginning of a really long process. Today's just the first interview in a whole series and im already feeling quite tired and daunted by the whole journey. There's pub and lta tmr and jtc on thur. And this is only the first week. Oh well, nothing comes free..nothing comes easy. I hope it'll all be worth it. And at least i'll learn something from it all, gain experience in interviews etc. Hopefully i wont be that scared of them in the future.

Very often i dunno what to expect? How much should i prepare? Is there a right way to answer the questions? It seems like im too casual sometimes. Saying things that prob shouldnt be said at interviews...being too casual? But is there really a right way to approach interviews? Issit good to just be myself? Simple..no need to prepare.

Im excited but scared of the coming weeks. Hope i'll make it through it! GAMBATTE!

am i crazy to have applied for 9 scholarships?
does it seem insincere?
but they're all sort of related.
Really hope i get at least 1.

One bad thing about applying for so many is that there's really alot of things to do.
It's time to start mugging the company's annual reports.
So far, i got 1 essay and ppt presentation due mon, one interview on mon, OFFICE SINGAPORE FLYER OUTING on mon and then another scholarship selection session thing on tue morning. Feels like im back in school chionging all the work again and having to comfort myself that it'll only be 3-4 weeks at most. After that it's HOLIDAY with the GIRLS!!
I havent exactly decided on my choice of uni yet. But it should be quite an obvious choice shouldnt it? There really shouldnt be much for me to think about actually.
Anw im giving myself a break tmr before chionging all the above stuff.
Class dinner and TONG1 XIAO1 MAHJONG TMR!!
Cant wait!!

sometimes i find that they're not helping at all..










and these scholarship applications are making me crazy.
Loads of rambling below...


i realised i've yet to blog abt results. Yup..it's not perfect but it's good. Im happy abt it, my parents are happy abt it. The unis shld be satisfied with it..and hopefully it's good enough for a scholarship.

Left work at ard 12 that day. Met my sis at j8 for lunch..well sort of, i could only eat half a bagel...and then got her to fetch me to school. Reached school bout 1 hour plus early, sat ard in the canteen with hui, angela and rachel, drank tehpeng and made lotsa noise while the poor j2s ard us were mugging for CTS. B4 u know it..it's into the hall, listening to the new principal read out a whole list of stats, most of which i couldnt absorb and then results time. I was almost the first to take results since register no 1, 2 and 3 were all not there. But i just plain refused to get it. Oh well...was really scared to look at the results but thankfully the hard work really did pay off. To all those who did well...congrats! And to those whose results didnt meet their expectations...it's over already. At least u tried ur best.

After the whole thing, went with a group of classmates for cake at the Big O at wheelock. But i think we were all quite tired..at least i was coz of being too high at school earlier. Then walked ard..sat down randomly in cine and i went to meet the parents la. Nothing much.

At nite...went with my parents to terminal 3 for desert..but there's no haagen daaz..and by the time we reached swensons they were closing. So we happily took the sky train all the way over to terminal 2, ate at swensons and then went home. Haha. All in all, on that day, i ate bread for breakfast, half a bagel for lunch, cake for tea and ice cream for dinner.


****

It's raining now. In fact it's been raining the whole day and im extremely thankful for the weather...it seems to complement my mood at the moment. Haha. Anw, took leave today to try and finish up my scholarship applications. But so far other than writing the essay for "abt yourself", i havent done much. And once again, technology has failed me somehow by insisting that im not singaporean. So today i've pretty much lost 50 plus dollars by not going to work. But at least i got to wake up late =))

Umm...havent had much to do in the past week at all. I've probably done abt 3 hours of work in total. Oh well. Anw, had alumni dance in school on tue at the windy benches again. I miss that place alot and it's nice to dance there again. Anw, did proper warmup and conditioning again and ended up with a back ache. I like the dance..

Yesterday, met up with some classmates for dinner again. Suppose to be at some turkish restaurant at shaw towers but we ended up at suntec again coz of the rain. We always tok abt diff things everytime we meet. Earlier on it was bout results coming out..this time it's totally on what school/scholarships we applying for...how's our work etc. Anw..not bad...think next week meeting up again for mahjong. Good job 6q! I love my (ex)class.

Im pretty bored now. Was suppose to watch L one of these days. But i tot it wasnt showing anymore until i saw the newspaper today. One show at 11am cine. But at that time im not even awake yet. Prob not meant to watch it now..gotta buy the dvd la. Working life is really boring. In fact it's even harder to meet up with frens sometimes coz everyone has different schedules now..some working, some have classes. There doesnt seem to be much for me to look forward to these days. Sometimes it feels like im wasting my youth away. So much that could be done in this period..like taking up a language class, learning to drive etc. None of which i've done. Wth have i been doing? On another note...thankfully there's the occasional meetings with frens that really help pull me through one day of work.

ok..i think i've done enough of random rambling. It's still raining...and scholarship forms are still incomplete. Ok...bye
