on - leave ! =))
.
hoho... on leave today...
feels so good to be home on a normal weekday...
it's been like almost 2 months!... 18 more working days to gooo!...
ok... so im on leave today cos i had to go for
NUSscience DA interview...
ah!... can say i actually predicted 90% of the questions they were gonna ask... so i did my 'research' about the course im interested in... things about N U S and their recent breakthroughs in research... and they actually asked ALL of that... not directly... but smth like.. why N U S? and why choose me? kinda questions... plus questions on past CCAs... wat i've learnt from CCA... CIP's i've done(!!)... ''tell me about yourself "... why i didnt do so well for chem... why im so interested in the course...wat i'd do if i couldn't get in... quite alot of questions...
oh... and i was asked if i go to the zoo or botanical gardens often... u know... lifescience course...lolll... the prof also asked if i had plants at home... dam... i forgot all big bundles of flowers i had at home... so i said... uhhh... not so much... USED TO HAVE...
i really felt like that pink worm in my Worms game... frequently shooting a bomb without looking at the wind direction and end up bombing myself...
most of the questions they asked were in some way related to the way i answered their previous questions... so... i was also asked about wat i read from the recent newspapers(!!?!)... so glad i actually came across their research press release that is considered recent enough... loll...
oh man... i really gotta learn how to end my sentences... cos everytime i finish talking it feels like there's more to say... but only a '' mmhmm... yea*BIG SMILE* ''comes out... followed by a few seconds of cricket silence...haha
ok... so that's about it for the interview... i guess...
i think the experience of these interviews really vary from person to person... really depends on the way you answer their questions... and the way you react to some of their hmmmm comments... and... i realised the importance of finding related info before an interview... i thought all those things i read would only be like a back-up plan or smth... turn out they really do ask questions about the uni and course to see if ur really really interested...
mm... cool... before all these i was actually hoping like mad that i wouldn't have to go for any interview of any sort... but now that i have already gone for one... hmm... the feeling's not bad not bad... even though i felt like i messed up a few questions here and there ... haha... but all in all i am actually quite thankful... at least there is this one minute chance... =)...
if it isn't meant to be... then hmm... 2nd choice's not bad either... =D
anyway... it's all in His hands! so i don't have to worry~~~! =DD
---------------------------------------------
i finally reached A HUNDRED today...
from 10... to 20... to 40... to 50... to 70... and 100 finally!!
quite tiring... came out of the pool walking weirdly...
like... it took me quite an effort to walk in a straight line... =D
yupp!... after almost 6 years of not swimming... i'm finally in the pool again!...
beats going to the gym... being sweaty and stinky and all the !! muscle aches plus most of the time only the treadmill's available... and if u know me... u know i can't run for nuts...
the only thing about swimming is being super thristy after that... gotta drink bowls and bowls of water... loll
it's interesting how i can't see wats outside when im inside when the outside can see the inside when they're outside... like inside(underwater) i see this film of wavy mirror... yet outside the water's transparent... i mean... ahhh... u don't get wat i mean do u?... lolll...
-------------------------------------------
time and time again... i've tried to remind myself to ''be slow to speak''... think through whether i should say wat im gonna say... and how i should put my words... and whether it is the correct time to say or not... but... despite so many reminders to self... most of the time i still find myself going... ''ahh... shucks... shouldn't have said that'' ... ok... so i guess u cant really put the toothpaste back into the tube once you've squeezed it out...
it's time to really knock it into my head... guess i'll just zip-it whenever i have the shoudiorshouldinotsay kind of dilemma...
slow to speak
slow to anger
quick to hear/listen
----------------------------------------
God will make a way...
where there seems to be no way...
in words and ways we cannot see...
He will make a way...

maybe...
