What happened during the past 3 weeks

It's been such a long time since I last blogged so this is a pretty long entry

Last week of October
- Received the SIA recruitment letter stating that I've been selected for the 1st round of interview. Was so excited and was planning what I should wear that day.

1st week of November
- Fed the mosquitoes in my office and my legs are scared with their bites.
- Can't wear a skirt for the interview as the scars are so terrible after I scratched them - very red and bruised.
- Bought a pair of pointed heels from Charles and Keith for only $37 and I love it.

THE DAY
Huili went for the interview early in the morning at 8.30am. We had a talk over the phone and she told me to prepare for a self intro as that's the time to impress the interviewers within 3 minutes. So, my sis went through with me how I should introduce myself - talk about past job experiences etc... Tried to memories my self-intro "script" during the next one hour.

Fast forward to interview:
I was the 2nd to introduce myself and the interviewers said we have 1-11/2 minutes. How am I going to shorten my 3 minutes intro to 11/2 minutes??? Soon it was my turn. I stood up and started talking. I don't really remember what I said as I was so freaking nervous and I think I just blabbered out anything that I remember. I knew I was not going to make it through. 3 people made it through to the next round from our group of 10.

I screwed it up totally - I was so not calm and confident enough.

To make myself feel better, I went to Changi airport to meet up with mummy to try the "famous" Poepye chicken. The set me cost $7 and the only thing I like about set is the fries and the Pepsi drink...The food there is just not my taste and I was feeling worse as I sensed that I was getting a sore throat soon.

I'll definitely send in my application in the next recruitment drive and if I do get to go the 1st round of interview again, I'll just do a simple and true introduction of myself. Oh yes, I'll also not be too bothered on what to wear, because now, I truly believe that you may dressed to kill but if you can't present yourself well, it's just not what they're looking out for.
