Time for me to update abt my interview at SMU~

08 Apr 2008
1145am - This is the time i reached the bus stop nearest to my company and started my journey.

1226pm - Reached BoonLay Interchange. Board the train and took a nap.

1255pm - Just woke up from my nap, reaching Outram Park Station.

1302pm - Still at Outram Park Station.

1306pm - Still at Outram Park Station, thus, i decide to walk to NE line instead of changing to NS line at Raffles Place Station.

1318pm - Finally reach my destination, Doby Ghaut Station.

1320pm - Walked out from the station and walked towards SMU's Social Science Building, located opposite The Cathay, and it started drizzling even before i cross the traffic light near HSBC. Since it's drizzling, i walked faster just in case the rain gets heavier. True enough, the rain drops get bigger and bigger and I have not even reach the traffic light near The Cathay. I saw the traffic light turned green, therefore, i increase my pace, but i still did not make it. Waited at the traffic light and i'm starting to get wet.

1325pm - Just crossed the traffic light at The Cathay and head towards the next traffic light. Lucky there is a sheltered walkway as the building the School of Arts. I saw the traffic light turn green, thus, i quickly crossed. However, there is ANOTHER traffic light that i need to cross before i can reach SMU. When I finally reach SMU, I'm kinda wet already.

1330pm - Reached on the dot and got my certificates certified. Was told to wait at the waiting area while the profs gets ready. This is when i realise I'm the first interviewee for the day.

1335pm - Starting to feel sleepy and bored as i have to wait for like half hour before the interview starts.

1355pm - The interviewers came and i was urshered into the room.

1414pm - *Yao Si Yao Si* What an unlucky time to step out of the interview room.

1420pm - Meet SooLan for lunch while she took a break from her mugging to accompany me. Thanks Soolan~~

1530pm - Leave SMU and start journey to SIM. Just a note, the rain had STOPPED.

1600pm - Reached Clementi Station. I walked to POSB bank to carry out some transactions so that i can pay the course fee at SIM. It starts to drizzle a little.

1630pm - Reached SIM and got a queue#. There's no queue at all, hence, I paid and quickly head towards my next destination, Holland Village.

1650pm - Alight at the bus stop opposite Cold Storage and the rain is kinda heavy all of a sudden. I ran across to Holland V as it's quite a distance for me to walk to the traffic light.

1655pm - Reached Essential Brews, paid the deposit and went to take a look at the VIP Function Room~.

1705pm - Exit from Essential Brews. Now, it's raining cats and dogs. This time, I ran AGAIN to the bus stop and I'm totally drenched~! Waited for 165 to Clementi then took the train back to BoonLay.

1805pm - Reached Jurong Point, meet-up with my bro, did some shopping, went to Pasar Malam to buy some snacks and went home.

Quite a eventful day rite???
I tried my best to recount what happened exactly on 8th Apr.
I've never encountered a day where many things happened altgt and at just the RIGHT timing.

Well, some asked about the interview and how it went.
All i can say is, i kinda screwed it up~
Hahahahaha..
There's no one and nothing to blame this on, other then myself.

Honestly speaking, I went there half-hearted and totally unprepared.
One lucky thing is they did not ask anything about current issues.
Mainly asked me to talk about myself and was more like a chit-chat session with some really unexpected questions.
I know I did not perform up to my standard and there is a question which I did not provide any answer to it.
Which is one of the biggest mistake one can make in an interview.
Though I am interested in the course (second to business), I have no confidence of surviving WELL under the SMU culture.
Which will be quite a struggle for a 4-year course.
So, for now, lets just wait and see if SMU is still interested in taking me in..

In the meantime, i shall forget about all this and look forward to my trip~
