= Screwed Up =

Oh, yes, I did. Screwed up, I mean.

The title of this blog does not bear happy tidings. *Sobs*

Well, let's start from the beginning, shall we?

I was allocated the first slot. 9 am in the morning. Yee. *Hair stands on end*

Anyway, I was dead early coz there was no traffic. Come on, I arrived earlier than the staff in charge of the interview thingy.. A little too enthusiastic, are we? Not.

Right, straight to the point. Coz I got lots of stuff to say.

One of the interviewers had time to kill, so he came over to talk la, he was really friendly so i was hoping that I'll be interviewed by him. But alas, no.

Anyway, there were 4 interviewers, split into 2 groups. I was quite unfortunate coz I got the other duo, which I had not make a good impression (being so early and all) yet. But to be fair, mine were quite okay, not like your average, out-for-your-blood kind of interviewer.

Well, surprisngly, I wasn't really nervous when I went in. I smiled, said "Morning" and sat down when they offered me the seat.

And they started with a Q which totally caught me off unaware but i shld have tot of. -_-

It was --> Tell me about yourself.

I totally blanked!! I shld have said something about my hobbies or whatever. Instead, I digressed and talked bout my family (!!) which the woman cared to point out to me once I finish blabbing.

Anyway, I said something which was a big no-no.

I mentioned that I was a "high achiever". Major BLEK. It just popped out! [Besides, I got a diff viewpoint abt what the phrase really means. That's really why I said it.] My dad reckoned that I shldn't have said that coz it makes me sound arrogant, which I'm not, I hope.

Then, the conversation progressed as below.

Interviewer: Oh, High Achiever?

Shaking Me: Yeah.

Interviewer: High Achiever as in what?

Dying Me: Erm, academics...

Interviewer: Oh, academics. Academics only?

Crazy Me: Well, academics and sports.

Interviewer: I see.

Die, what a nice good 1st impression.

Then, they progressed to the definitely-will-be-asked Qs like: Why you wanna be doctor ah?And some others. I have quite forgotten. Bad memory.

I gave okay answers, not really brilliant or anything. What to do. Then, they asked me bout my co-curricullum. Which was just blah. [I'm lazy, yeah.]

They're kinda surprised that I didn't take part in St.John/Red Cresent, and I told them I was involved in Girl Guides. And they asked me bout the experinces and I crapped my way thru.

They're also interested about my experience voluntering in Adventist Hosp. Again, take the same route, crapped like hell. But I did better in this coz I was more hands-on. Phew~

Then, they asked: "Why do u want to go to IMU?" followed by"Tell me more abt IMU." I saved my butt by the same way again. Crap. Then we talked bout the PMS thingy, which was okay, I guess. But they later asked another trick Q which was: So, do u think that the uni in seremban is equally good (as the other PMSs)? But I think i'll pass.

Anyway, I was handed a death sentence in the form of a case study. I'm lazy to blog bout it now, maybe later.

Well, I must say, I shld have read properly the damn thing!! Whatever. Anyway, my first attempt was lousy but from the heart. I think that the woman must have taken a liking to me pity on me so she gave me a tiny hint. I think the man din really noticed it coz he was kinda satisfied with my subsequent answer. Finally! Something that I can triumph of.

Then, they gave a case study (albeit verbally) which I quite happily zipped thru coz this has something to do with firmness and social skills. Both which I have in abundance. Hehe... =) Will tell in detail later.

Hmm. What's next? *Deep in thought* I think quite near the ending liao kua. I really blank ade now. If there's anything special, I'll post up later.

U know how long my interview last? 25 freaking minutes!! So long hor?

Anyway, I feel REALLY frustrated coz I'm really really afraid that I cannot get in becoz of my lousy performance during the interview.

I wasn't myself. Too polite. Not funny at all. Not really me.

Die. If I don't get in, I think I'll throw myself off the nearest highest building. Or slit my wrists.

Aiyah, both so painful hor. Must take Leela's advice la. Breathe in CO!! lol..

But jokes aside, I really hope I get in. =(
