went for interview today.
i thought it'd be a seminar, since the HR person was like "come and find out what the job's abt!"
was skeptical that it'd be another phillip capital recruitment strategy.
it wasn't. it was a true blue interview.
which is a relief. but it's also kind of dumb since that means i went for an interview with zero knowledge of the position.
they told me a bit and asked how i felt. told them the truth. wouldn't mind trying something new but without trying out i can't say "i'm the ONE" with a resounding thump on the chest.
i think i might lack interview skills. haha. could have sugar coated but right now i'm on the side of telling the truth. truth and nothing but the truth. maybe not very smart but that's how i am...now....upfront, not out to cheat, that's who i'll want to be.
the interviewers were pretty nice. carried themselves very professionally. it was a nice informal chat. apparantly in this line the hours are loooong but they do it for the love of it. and they are pretty close to each other too (prob since they pratically spent the whole day together). that'll be a nice environment to work in i think.
Bank: "you're quite unfocussed."
Me: "yeah"
Gleaneagles: "you're better suited for research."
Me: "yeah"
haha. shld really stop this trend of agreeing with them. but actually they have their points. in a weird way the way i've written my resume and talked has brought up more clearly what i feel, and they can see it while i can't by myself because i'm all muddled. so the interviewers are somehow reading my personality more clearly than i consciously am.
strange. funny. and pretty dumb.
the worst part is that i can't really convince them i want the job without convincing myself. How to persuade them when i'm not even sure myself.
sort of have a focus now. hope this snakefish doesn't die.

had sushi dinner with weips. sushi meals are always so fun. the wasabi is such a kick! the pictures on the menu looked extremely good, kudos for the photography. so gd that i skipped the belt. couldn't resist some sushi just for the wasabi though.
"oh oh too much"
(flail arms, jump off seat, tears welling. weiping watches enjoyably)
"imagine if i dined here alone, i'll be sitting in a corner flailing arms, jumping off the seat and doing my little dance with every sushi."
also met up with steph. the gang's almost completed! alia will be back in august according to them.
steph's house is really nice and cosy. so much that weips and i talked abt renting a place too in future. we might annoy each other if we stay together so we'll just "rent adjoining units and drill a connection door". yes. brilliant idea.
steph's horribly jet lagged but she's still as energetic as a normal person. when she's at full strength she's unstoppable. haha.
weips said that Ruimin managed to get his Phd from MIT in 4 years. My god. He wasn't even aiming for a Phd. His thesis was just so brilliant that his sup submitted it for a doctorate instead of bachelor or masters. MIT. wow. that's what i call brilliant. top class brains. hats off.
over in our small little town weips and i were playing win lose or draw. i was trying to draw "Liang Po Po the Movie".
"sounds like bow"
"sounds like paw"
"oh bo co fo po?"
"tan po po the movie?"
----------------------------------
talked to siyong over icq abt our plan A. haha. we're both getting very excited over it. and check this place out:
http://www.gonefishing.com.sg
that's plan A.1
It's always nice to be in the company of pple who share a common interest. we just talk until we both get high. haha. incredibly he likes Guns N roses too, like who in this modern era has ever heard of GNR?

tmrw's shopping day. mom's wardrobe rack collapsed from the weight of clothes some time ago. she fixed it somehow, and now she's back to testing the resiliance of the long suffering rack.
gone fishin sounds like a smashin place!
