Finally...NTU replied me with THE offer.
I thought I screwed up for the interview. Apparently the interviewer felt that I cannot manage my time well because of my answer to a particlar question.
'Oh I see you're from Choir. So will you join singing competitions like Singapore Idol?'I rambled on... ...interviewer gave me that face.
'So you mean you cannot manage your time? Do you know who is Steph Sun? You know she's from NTU? Then maybe you should consult her how she manages to manage both her singing career and studies.'That's why I thought I was screwed.
Accountancy here I come! I'm so freaking excited now, of all the uni life, CCAs and hostel life. Everything seem so real now because of that acceptance letter...and I'll say this again!
I can't wait for hostel life. :) All the best to my future roommate, because I'm really a messy untidy and disorganised person. But I will try to change, or else my room will definitely look like a 狗窝. That's what my mother said.
Went for the SPRING EDS interview (11am to 6pm) on Friday too. It sort of made me realised TJ sheltered us a lot from the realities of the world. I felt that in TJ, we have a very cool and warm family culture. People there at the EDS interview were extremely competitive, very vocal, very good with their words, very convinving. But I didn't think my team worked well, because everyone wanted to talk and no one wanted to listen. It's quite sad actually when you see everyone fighting for a chance to say something (or perhaps, say for the sake of saying something-- because all the assessors were there with clipboards in their hands.) It was a very stressful environment, partly because you HAVE to say something in order to be noticed amongst all the 30 plus people.
As for me, the interview was a goner because, well, I didn't exactly speak up. Or should I say I can't even get a word in because everyone was interrupting each other. But it was really an eye-opening experience for me. :)) I'm really amazaed by some individuals. They were very eloquent, very confident and very steady. Any coincidence that most of them are from Uni Year 1? Hopefully in a year time, I will be as steady as them. YEAH! :))
I told my father about my experience there, and he said
'Life's like this. That's why I think your friends are all too nice
already.
In life or in work, no one will actually care about
your
survival.
It's either you fight for the chance to shine, or you
will just get
lost
behind. I always tell you don't be so trusting...
...life in University will not
be the same as your life in TJ.'
