wahh.. there are people who posted on my blog!! hahah.. this thing was only started on an impulse, but I seem to be writing on it extremely often. And I shall continue to do that! Though the formatting and stuff would have to wait till I'm more free to search and learn how to add links.. lol..

Anyway, yesterday was an extremely BAD day for me. I was supposed to go for this internship interview in the afternoon at 5pm, so I did not go for MIC AAR. For some reason, everyone still called me and asked for information about when and where it was. I think I might have moved the booking confirmation someplace else, which resulted in Jessie not being able to find it (sorry..). So she kept calling me and I got out of the house later than expected. When I got to the bus stop there were no buses AT ALL even after waiting for like 25 min.. no idea why all buses like to conspire against me when I'm in a hurry and get out a little later. In the end, had to take a cab to Suntec City -_-" (waste my money loh)

The interview was quite CRAP. It was a group interview, and the people in charge talked more than the applicants did. Well, granted they were letting us know more about the job scope and the company, but at the end of like 45 min, they still did not know much about us. So they kept prompting us to talk about ourselves. And the funny thing is, once a person starts talking about a particular area (eg language), EVERYONE decided to show off in the same area as well. I had a feeling the interviewers were not too impressed by all of us. So my conclusion at the end was: Find another internship to apply for.

After leaving the interview, had to go for tuition. I know people always say don't schedule things after job interviews, but this was arranged long before I got notified of the interview. So even though I was tired, had to go. Took a bus towards Bukit Timah, initially wanted to stop for dinner at macs cos I was DAMN hungry lah, but I did not say it was a bad day for nothing. The bus took 50 minutes to go from SMU to Bukit Timah (normal trip takes 30 min), by which time I would be late if I stopped for dinner. What's more, it started to pour just 2 bus stops before Macdonalds, so I could not even go and ta pao. I was mentally (and maybe also literally) shaking my head, and this voice in my head kept telling me, "today is your bad day". (Hey, thanks for the information. Like I could not see for myself.) Had to call my aunt for help, and she came to fetch me to my student's place.

You know all the times when you could not move from a shelter cos it was pouring, but when your ride or savior with an umbrella comes, the rain stops? Well yesterday was one of those days. It completely stopped raining when I reached my student's house, and of course I had no time for dinner. Only had dinner after tuition, when I was absolutely starving. Damn sian.

What a day. Was it any wonder that I was dead tired when I finally reached home?
