Interviews... I just came back from my SC interview just now... Haha it was like any other interviews u would expect. But once it was over, I just felt a great heap of relief. Phew. From the moment I woke up today, I've been anticipating the interview... Its like a bitter-sweet experience- I'm looking forward to it and yet feeling nervous. So, during the last hour of waiting in LT1 during Chem lecture, I reckoned I understood only 30% of the whole lecture. Most of the time, I'm either thinking of what to say during the interview or feeling damn nervous. My hands were icy cold and sweating. So I made my way to the classroom. The sky was raining and dark (it was dusk anway). I thought it was quite poignant for me. Haha. Once I arrived the classroom, 3 persons were waiting for me. On the left, a female teacher that resembles my econs teacher, a male teacher I saw quite a couple of times in O2 who i think is in owens, and lastly, the famous Sutrisno- President of the 6th Student Council. At first, I just crapped out the lines I thought up during the lecture. Hmm.. not so bad I think. However, the worse is yet to come. After that, they blasted me with a series of questions. Like what would you do bring up the profile of the house? What is your objective and goals for the house? Still quite answerable. However at some moments, my mind threatened to blank out on me. Nevertheless, I still managed to crap out to prevent an awkward stituation. The female teacher especially, blasted me with a series of questions. Haha what's funny is that they commented that my pants were too short as it exposed my feets, which also revealed that I wore ankle socks. Ohhh damn... However the guy in the next room also had the same problem as I noticed. Haha. After the interview I felt so tired mentally, cause they really challenged me hard. I just hope I will get chosen to undergo elections then I can do it with Chen Xing together throughout the whole campaign. If not, I would be "unemployed". Haha. While walking home, Clement asked me a question, "Do you feel proud being from Swiss Cottage?" Without a doubt, I replied "Yes." Yeah. I've spent 4 wonderful years in there and made countless friends. Its cruel to forget your roots just like that. I can vividly remember the time during orientation in sec 1 just like I can remember orietation in PJ. I can also remember me taking my last 'O' level paper in Swiss. These memories are just so nostalgic. I hope when I read this part of the post 2 years later, I can identify with the similar nostalgia. =)
