ok, updates on my scholarship interview. it was quite scary at first. my heart was pounding. the route to the scholarship venue was familiar - i took the route during end September when i went there to sign my contract. level 6. i walked in and was informed by the receptionist that the interviewers were on a toilet break. oh well... i did some last minute stuff - arranged my hair and clipped my fringe, and pulled down my long-sleeved shirt in order to look more presentable. then... i was told that the interviewers were ready. GOSH! i almost fainted.
the adrenaline rush was so great and overwhelming. i prayed a short, silent prayer and went into the interview room. it was a SIX-to-one interview. all females, as expected. i went in with confidence. but it slowly leached away because the interviewers did not smile at me at all. the opening question stumbled me. OPENING question.
"You placed AH as your first choice. Any particular reason why?"
"....."
"...."
"..."
"I don't know."
HA!!!!! i couldn't even remember what AH stood for at that point of time. but i thank God for reminding me that it was Alexandra Hospital. Killer, right? my answer? NEVER EVER answer "i don't know" during interviews.
"Is it because of the distance? Because it will be shifting to Woodlands in the future?", one of the examiners prompted.
"Yes"
Thank God for the prompting from that interviewer. that got my brain in working mode and i answered their questions to the best of my ability. haha. that phrase just reminds me of the St. John pledge. whatever... lolx. but i felt that i could have better answered their questions. oh well! it's over...
now, for part 2. i will be going back to the same place for another interview. this time, with a different group of interviewers. 16th Jun 2oo8. 8.30am. pray for me, ya?

the Euro 2oo8 kicked off at midnight just now. and it is crazy. the injury-list just got longer. frei!!! sigh... poor Switzerland. i somehow got a 6th sense that our dear zhiwei will bet. haha.
zhiwei, some tips for you.... A 10-step guide to picking the winner:
1. Only one of the last nine winners have been a host nation - that counts out Austria and Switzerland
2. The last eight winners had all qualified for past European championship tournaments - that counts out Poland
3. The European Championship has never been retained - say goodbye to Greece
4. Germany are the only country to have bounced back from losing a Euro final to win next time round - unlucky, Portugal
5. No world Cup runners-up have bounced back to win the Europeans Championship - so France are out
6. Only once have losing finalists gone on to win the tournament next time round - that eliminates Czech Republic and Holland
7. Spain may have one of the best squads but it has been 24 years since they last reached a tournament semi-final
8. On only one occasion have the reigning World-Cup holders won the European Championship - that counts out Italy
9. The last six winners (France, Holland, Denmark, Germany, France, Greece) all come from the first eight letters of the alphabet - farewell Russia, Romania, Sweden and Turkey
10. only one team who did not win their qualifying group have gone on to claim the trophy: Denmark, in 1992, took the place of Yugoslavia, who were banned owing to the Balkan crisis. So, it's auf wiedersehen, Germany! That means that, despite not even winning a game at Euro 2oo4, the only nation left standing is... CROATIA~!!!!

and...
MY BANK BOOK GOT EATEN UP BY THE ATM MACHINE~!!!!!yes. it happened after church yesterday, when i was going home. CRAP~!!! maybe it is retribution, for laughing at adrian's bangs =S
i would like to thank the Woodlands NPC policeman on duty at around 10pm on Saturday, 7th jun 2008, cpl mohd ishak (i think). he was very helpful. he helped me call the posb hotline and get through to the operator for me! yupyup!!!
the oprator, ben, guaranteed that the machine will not spit out my bank book. he told me that the officers will retrieve my bank book from the machine and snail mail it to my house. ok. accepted. i would prefer that it be registered mailed though.

catering yesterday was disappointing. seriously. what's with Fong Seng? when i saw that catering was Fong Seng, i was quite happy. finally something acceptable. but when i opened the packet.... goodness! instead of chicken wings, it became CHICK wings. the chicken wings were sooo mini. like suo shui. shrink water. so disappointed with Fong Seng. huishan, jas and i were still discussing going down to Fong Seng to eat their nasi lemak because we've not had it for quite some time a few weeks back. but now? haha... forget it. standard dropped. us, as consumers, have a right to choose. so what if they donated $5000 during the Si Chuan Earthquake Charity Show? it doesn't mean that i must patronise them just because they donated to help the victims. these are two separate issues. Fong Seng, you've disappointed me.
sylvester said that if we are unhappy with the catering food, we can go out to eat by all means. haha. i welcome that. i embrace it with open arms. he said that there is NO RULE that we must eat in church. oh wow! great! =D
