well, its done!

Yupp, going by my title, and if u read the most recent post, i'm talking about my interview with smu law which was this morning. Whew! Can't believe its over. Truthfully, i think i bombed on the essay test. I chose the question "The voice of the majority is no proof of justice" To what extent do u agree with this statement. Of COURSE i agree with it but i don't think i pur across my point clearly enough. Too nervous, too little time to think through(15mins) and too rusty in the art of writing an arguement(not that i was great to begin with). However, i think my interview with 2 other candidates froma VERY GOOD jc, went better. The current affair topic of the day was the G20 summit and ignorant as i was, didn't know a thing abt it. However thanks to my previous economic knowledge(thank you 2 years of econs!), i think i managed to sound smart enough. Well, i sort of ended the discussion and the guy who was "attacking" us, seemed satisfied, though i personally didn't understand a word i was saying. The second part of the interview was conducted mostly by the other interviewer who asked us questions that he tied to both something we've written in our cca application to something happening in spore which in itself i found very impressive. Mine because the best thing you could see on my application was choreographer, he asked about all htose traditional dances that tourists gawk at and asked if i think there's any use for them these days other than for tourists to gawk at(his words not mine). My ultimate stand was that we shouldn't get rid of them, but tweaking them to make them seem relevant would help. Or something to that extent.
All in all, i believe i sounded confident enough, i always stated my stand at the end so i clarified myself and for them and i dont' think i seemed too dumb compared to the other two! So i'm happy. Now i found that ntu's wee kim wee sch of communication studies has invited me to a pre-admission reception next sat and its "imperative" that i attend but it doesn't not constitute to admission. I'll probably go because i HAVE nothing on anyway, and it'll be an experience. still awaiting that offer from nus and now, from smu. Sigh. all this waiting is quite stressful. And worrysome.
Oh! i was in a friendly mood so today when i sat down next to this old gentleman at gloria jean's cuz he was sitting in the comfy chair area and the other area was taken up, i chatted with him for some time, while waiting for my hot chocolate to cool off. Very interesting guy, but then again, most elderly people are, especially with all their experiences. And he was english, so i could understand him perfectly. I think when i warm up, i can be quite approachable.
well, i'm off. ciao!
