quote of the day--"maybe its ego problem." our econs lecturer explaining why she thinks cambridge refused to accept local candidates saying that england(or some other western country) experienced economic recession. as witty as ever.saw keevin's post and visited the link...thot was his blog at first then quite surprised that he has a blog. coz males are seldom perceived to have blogs. if you unfortunately belong to the male gender, having a blog is said to be 'gay', 'metrosexual' and so on. plain evil.
anyway, realised that it was the tennis ppl's blog. also realised what his malay brotherhood on his nick meant. and saw kiat tat in a photo posted there. kind of miss all his lame jokes and stuff after 2 years. hmm. anyways, spent some time playing a toopid guessing game..haha. saw a list of names on the blog:
Contributors
Iskandar
ChiN.K
fandi
kita kato
ismail
Haikkel
Yu Wei
then i was trying to guess which one was keevin. den obviously yu wei and kitakato was out. (my assumption.) den i realised there were links to their blog profile. so i thot hey! juz see which one is in 05s62 blog can liao lar! and guess what? he used a different account. -----____---- den i scrolled through the posts quickly and saw a post by a certain iskandar, saying that only he, keevin and john are blogging. den he told a certain ismail to blog. so that leaves fandi, haikkel and chin.k. den my intuition tells me keevin wont be chin.k so that only leaves 2. so i didnt manage to find out what keev's nick was. waste my time. haha.
anyway, went for the lep scholarship interview today!! ahh. was so nervous when i was sitting there waiting for the person before me(a certain yingying from 61) to finish. then when i went in, the NY principal did the talking la. let me tell you how i committed suicide.
she asked me whether i have difficulty coping with LEP for 1st 3 mths since i din take CL lit. i said its quite ok except some areas where they know and i dunno. den i continued that i've found CL lit quite interesting
(-note- blatant lie) in the 1st 3 mths and so i decided to continued it. i even threw in the
lie that i have come to regret not studying CL lit, for good measure.
then, she asked me about WHAT I DO AS LIBRARY CHAIRMAN. WTH!!? erps. then i told her admin stuff and c whether juniors (and those in my level, too) are slacking in shelving. but of coz i so good and always quite lenient. but of coz i din tell her that. then she ask me whether i organized any activities...den i told her about the lame interschool mini competition thingy(more of game) we did for library camp last yr. den i described to her and she asked abt the objective la. den i said it was to improve relationship btw schools around the area. (crap.) also to give us a chance to organise activities. (crap.)
then she asked me about the reading habits of tchs ppl. i (stupidly) said not very good. i even gave example to illustrate this point!!!! OMG!!!! I AM SO DUMB. i said some of my classmates nv even go to library frm sec 1-4. ARGH. i told her we knew these coz we kept records whenever people came to borrow books. like, from which level one. den she asked me whether i did anything to improve this. i said yes. and (stupidly, again) added that there was poor response. OMG!!!! I AM SO DUMB!!!! but i told her we did stuff like author of the month. if you are from tchs and you dunno what im talking about, you should feel ashamed coz you made me lose my $1000. haha ok outofpoint.
then came the common question. what you want to study in the uni? i said i wan to study to be a teacher...and possibly a DJ...but i not sure whether im up to it. (actually im NOT sure. but juz to make it sound bit nicer.) then i (stupidly, yes, again) said im not sure coz im quite introvert. OMG!!!! I AM SO DUMB!!!!
[its dumb coz of later part.]den she said, be tchr but not necessarily chinese teacher right? then it was such a freaking obvious
TRAP that i didnt fall into it. i said most probably i will be chinese teacher...coz i have come across some good chinese teachers throughout my school yrs and hope to learn to b like them. then i realised it was such a blatant lie (the learn to be like them part) unless my other subject teachers are all crap. (which is not true as tchs teachers rock. most of em.) anyways she din comment.
then the ex RV principal started to ask. rather, poke at me with extremely sharp words. and questions. but luckily i have become so pro at niao-ing people that i poke him back. hah!
he asked me, hearing what i said, library seems to be quite boring and unrewarding, with all the weak response.
(LOOK TCHS!! you all lah, despise library.) then i said not really unrewarding coz
(-warning- lame answer)--> i have made some very good friends in library and its quite fun working with them. i realised that it doesnt exactly match his question.
then he continued. you said you want to be teacher, but how can you be, with your introvertedness?(is there such a word?) den i poke him back and said that teachers can be both introvert and extrovert. (ARGH!! i shud have said that i have come across both types of teachers. poke him until he bleed and die and dun reincarnate. but i didnt. argh.)
he continued. later get bullied by students how? then i stoned for1-2 seconds. then luckily i thought of something. i said, from the view of a student myself, nowadays students are more and more difficult to handle.
if you are too strict, parents complain.(all three interviewers smiled. god tell me what it means.) if you too lenient also cannot...hah. but after rebutting him i said that im trying to change my introvert character. (-note- blatant lie) i said i joined library and serving people at the counter let me interact a bit with ppl i dunno...so it helps in a way. (-note- blatant lie) then i also said i joined interact club so maybe can help a bit more. (-note- end of blatant lies) and finally the interview was over. looking back, i think $1000 has flown away...
wee~such a long entry. (in my standards.)
