Walao, since when did the whole blogger interface change? -_- Damn annoying, I don't know where everything is already, have to start learning from scratch again. Geramnya. Anyway, I skipped school to study at home today. Exams are super duper quadruple near, less than a month whey. I'm supposed to be freaking out but then I'm still slacking like nobody's business. I remembered last time I took my PMR, I did stacks and stacks of books a few months before the exam. And now, here I am, blogging. Wow. ._.

I went for some scholarship interview yesterday. We were required to wear some formal attire and so I wore back the same outfit I wore when I took my Grade 8 piano exam. I think I grew a bit thinner 'cause the skirt was kinda loose around my waist and kept dropping down to my hips. Yay! :'D But still fat. Okay.jpg.

Mum said the colours were a little dark. Please, some people even wore all black lah, aiyo.

It was really nerve-racking to see so many potential scholars there with their genius looks and confident selves. They were putting up their best fronts to impress the interviewers and there I was, slouching and cowering under their superiority. D: It was intimidating to be in the midst of so many smart people, so stressful. But I laughed when I saw this dude that I don't like wearing a tuxedo! Like going to prom, HAHAHAHA. Retard. And he's not even that smart, I wonder how he got shortlisted, hmph. -_- Okay, I'm just being mean.

I ended up having a foreigner as an interviewer. Surprisingly, I was quite chilled for the interview, not a single drop of sweat was wasted that day, thank God. :) My friend was whining about how much she'd like her interviewer to be a foreigner as hers turned out to be a lady. IDK, to me, if you're good, you're good. End of story. You don't need some ang moh to prove your skills/intelligence/self-worth. When my name was called and I went into the room, I think I stopped dead in my tracks. The ang moh was a really gorgeous young man. I was damn shocked, LOL. Immediately, I became so nervous. What lah, Ru Min.

I shook his hand firmly as we're expected to and I sat down in front of him. He started firing me questions and I got so lost in his accent, I ended up saying, "Sorry?" most of the times. Fail max. This was really one of my most embarrassing moments during the interview :

HIM : So, how would the iPad help you in terms of education?
ME : Oh, it's light and easy to carry around. I can study anywhere. My mum even bought this chip thing and placed it inside the iPad so that I can go online wherever I am to check for any information. Wireless connection is not needed.
HIM : Wait, your mum placed the chip inside the iPad?
ME : Yea, my mum.
HIM : Your... Mum?
ME : OH, I mean, not my mum, of course! She asked the shop assistant to do it for her, sorry!
HIM : It's alright. Maybe I should get one as well.

ASDFASJFAJFRGRBMVADSFAD. Ermahgerd, I almost died of embarrassment. Noobest moment in my entire life. Oh, God, I hope my parents won't ever read this. Other than that, I think I did quite okay lah by crapping a lot. I'm surprised I didn't speak in my cinapek slang with all the "mah/lah/ah" or stutter much or use the word "like" too much. Phew, thank you, Lord. T_T So grateful.

Although the scholarship isn't much, I hope I get it. I want to at least achieve something in my very sad life. ._. But the interview was a great experience, I realised I should really work on my social skills whey.
