ah. i must post about my spastic terp interview.. 1st of all.. spent like 10mins+ looking for the place.. get there.. queue for like 1/2hr.. for wat? temperature taking! woohoo!! so fun!!! =sarcastic= i sppose it was necessary, but honestly, like someone frm church said.. by the time you take ur temperature and realise ur temperature's higher than allowed for and u realli do have sars, everyone wud already have gotten it.. wats the point.. -shrug-
so. for the interview. anna and her classmate finished and came out saying that the 2 interviewers sitting at the desk = jokers.. crazy and useless.. all they did was to talk and talk and talk and promote ntu.. saying that's its such a wonderful place.. and the bio facilities are v gd.. and asked anna wat she thought of ntu.. so she sed "erm.. v few pple?" so they sed "all the better! no SARS!" [erps.. wat has tt got to do with her project..] anyways.. hers was something to do with slag and purifiying industrial waste.. so they were saying.. u have to work with furnaces! so whenever u come.. u must be prepared to sweat! [erps again..]
yeah. so i went in, expecting them to be doing most of the talking as reported by anna and her classmate. but no! i went in, greeted them, sat down. they stared at me. i stared back at them.. like hello.. its an interview maybe?? interviewers are spposed to start asking questions so i can answer?? so the guy who came into the room to call me [he was sitting at the side] started off.. asked me to talk abt the subjects i'm currently studying. okay.. so i finished with tt.
=silence= [while we had a little bit of staring again]
one of the interviewers decides to ask me if i like experimental work. crap a bit abt practicals and how they're fun and everyth.. finished.
=more silence=
[clar feels very uneasy] so the guy sitting at the side tells me abt the proj i chose [haha actually i forgot]
then asks if i noe anyth abt building structures or watever.. the proj was abt monitoring health conditions of building structures. sth like tt. so i sed sth spastic abt how its lucky we're not in an earthquake prone zone [aah i noe this sounds realli realli stupid but realli.. hadn't the faintest idea wat to talk abt] and sth else abt architecture and safety and blah blah blah
=more silence= asked me if i was nervous [like duh rite.. i have never ever sat in an interview where the interviewers can't find anything to ask u about] and if i had any questions.. so i asked wat kind of equipment they use to check the structure.. and tt was it.
the best is yet to come.. after that.. at like 12.30+ one of them called me up and sed they needed to ask me more qns! oh wow.. even queerer.. i go for the interview and they don't wanna ask me anything and then end up calling me.. hmmm.. anyhow was asking me abt my 1st choice and "do u noe wat ur proj is abt?" me"uh.. plasma?" the prof/whoever"do u noe wat plasma is?" me"isn't it spposed to be the 4th state of matter?" prof"yeah.. not blood plasma ah yar.. just in case.." 8| honestly. realli weird.
but anyway.. hopefully i can get in;) and maybe they'll even send me overseas! whee:)
i'm convinced my conductor doesn't like me.. he had this very unhappy [pissed? disgusted? i dunno] look on his face when he was looking at me.. but maybe it was just me.. i dunno. hopefully nothing's wrong n i'm just being oversensitive.
overdosage of choir. today i wasn't feeling particularly gd either. really need to do warmups b4 singing..
haha super shuang! today ended at 12.10 and actually got to slack!:) whee:) when usually we're the ones having super late prac.. ahahaha.. thanks to gala dinner.. but i guess tmr makes up for it.. 8-10 fringe 10 - 4.30 choir. ah well. i tink it'll be fun anyway:) enjoyed last nite's prac when he was actually happy w us and didn't stop us..
and candice's dalmatian puppy is so cute!!:) hahaha. it was galloping around in circles [and realli resembled a horse] and then started jumping around dementedly and also was snapping all over the place as well as worrying candice's socks.. [and our hands too for that matter] but i tink it was kinda thin.. ah well.. maybe i used to feed my dog [had one a long long looong time ago] too much;p
anyhow.. i wanna go for dance nite! -wails- but this fri i hafta leave french early to go for vch rehearsal.. then nxt mon = last prac b4 syf so i can't miss it.. even pple are missing chem s for tt.. and then the nxt fri will be dance nite. augh. plus the new choir concert is the nxt nxt fri. means another french lesson either totally/half-missed. groan. and we're going to be having another test soon.. aaahhh
the only thing good so far is tt i passed tt horrible qualifying test for DELF2!:) yay.. [its this france-recognised exam for the standard of ur french.. they don't recognise o/ao/a levels] yeah. even after the disastrous and unexpected listening compre + summary + "application question" yup. =happy enuff=:) and i tink i will actually have some time today to play piano [for the 1st time in like a fortnight.. terrible]
hafta catch up w work tho.. everyday i just come back and decide oh i'm so tired i'm going to sleep and don't get a single bit of work done.. plus tests coming up nxt wk! aughs. choir elections will be soon enuff i tink.
arrh. haven't posted for long time. just don't have the time.. ah well.. wat with all the chorale pracs.. but watever it is i still wanna get into finals.. even tho we're gonna be practising like mad.. and yeah i guess the music does make up for it but sometimes [okay.. that single one time:] i really wanted to like give up, say i'm sick and go home. haha. but at least tt wore off.. i guess it was just me tt day;)
anyways one time during the week i was feeling really down and thinking abt wat my gp tcher sed.. it is so true.. in, say, america, u can be urself and still succeed [cos we were talking about american idol] but here in spore its so fixed.. u have to excel academically if not u're like a failure.. blah blah blah.. and ur cca record must be gd.. etc. sometimes i'm so tired of it. yeah. anyway. so much for that.
at least i did okay for french:) tho of cos cud have done better but with the super last min mugging i guess it was alrite.. but when i look at liangsi's essay.. i'm like.. woah.. how in the world am i gonna learn to write like tt. sigh... ah well. i noe i ought to be reading "le point" [aka time magazine in french hahahaha] but i don't even read my economist! i tink i'm in deep trouble man.. ah.
something else.. i don't seem to be concentrating very well. mm. esp physics.. which isn't exactly one of my best subjects [in fact i dun even noe wat my best subj is haha] n keep getting maths qns which i dunno how to do [or am not sure]. i sppose tts education. and i also don't think i'm making sense anymore so i shall go off.
