and so i finally decided to revive this very inactive diary of mine after telling everyone i would do so since the end of the bleeding As.
much has happened in the past months.
for one, i taught in peirce. yeah you heard me right. and then in tanglin school.
those were the staples, during the weekends i taught ballet in crestar and gave tuition for the fun of it. it was busy yet incredibly enjoyable
though i can still hear my nerves ringing in my ears sometimes. how much students can get onto your nerves sometimes, bittersweet stuff
i caught up with the amazing bunch of friends i have.
met wonderful people
i travelled the country within one day several times, and realised indeed we are a small island
i had the most amount of fun i ever had
i received my alevel results, which wasnt really that fun :D
i applied for university
im hopefully, about to start work in smrt; human resource development department
the jov interview actually went incredibly badly, it was a pre emptive cursed rejection, super fail. heres what happened
me standing cluelessly outside the entrance
lady turns and stares: what are you here for?
me in shock (think shihui think what are you here for again): erm interview, erm interview, interview
yes i repeated it fuglishly THRICE
me realising what i just did: haha senseless smile
me once again realising what i just did
by this point of time, the woman was scrutinising, well i dont blame her
woman: you must be shihui, there arent many young people around here
me: HUEY EAN!
yes i called out her name. if i had a knife i would have stabbed myself, all possibilities of her having any positive impression of me have long flown out of the window and into the wells of afganistan
she then invited me in, still scrutinising
well lets just get to the interview
woman: tell me more about yourself
me: shifty eyes. my name is shihui
pause
i told her what school i was from and what i was doing previously
woman, still scrutinising, this time at my fingers since i was plucking at them: why did you quit the previous job? and why do you want to work here with us?
i kinda just told her the previous one was contract based and stuff it was a completely unimpressive reply, and i was disturbed she was staring at my bloody looking fingers, since i bite them. not cool
she went on to asking me about times i had to work under stress, the types of admin duties ive carried out, whether i was comfortable working in a quiet environment since my previous jobs were interactive, why i chose to teach ballet
there were really quite a few questions, i was having such a bad headache internally, but being such a brave soul that i am, i just kpt the smile goin
i gotta thank my ballet teacher for always forcing a smile on me when i see her seriously
anyway, the interview went on with me laughing alot to myself, since i could not believe how serious it was. i was partially overly excited as well. shite.
anyway, it ended with her saying i was an incredible girl
yes, incredible
not good, smart, gentle, kind
but incredible
well i better get this job then, if not that would make other candidates unworthy, since incredible is really high praise
its raelly big thanks to hector for the job though.
okay what else
hokay i guess i did things i never thought i could/would have done
so i must say, the past months have been relatively well spent.
pictures another day.
goodnight world
your smile is revolution
