Worry no. 1:

Today i was called up for an interview at ICES at Jurong Island. It was last minute coz i only received the email only yesterday afternoon. It reads that the interviewer is going to be the researcher himself. In my case it was Dr. Sanggu Kim. A korean professor who takes his Chemical Enginnering Phd in USA.

It has been so long since i last went for an interview. The last one was for a part time job as a library customer service officer back a year and half ago. It was easy back then coz i dont need to worry so much if i dont get in and there is nothing to prepare for it.

But this time, i did something remarkable. I studied for this interview. Hahaha.. I mean LITERALLY. Since my job is a research based and i was shortlisted for a microemulsion formulation using nanotechnology and all, so i actually read up on my textbook and search the Net and studied profusely for Ternary Phase Diagram. worried sick that the prof might ask me to explain this and that. And worried that they might even test on my theoretical knowledge.

So.... Since ICES is at Jurong island, i realise i took 1 and 1/2 hour just to reach that place (a van pick us up at JE mrt). Its at the far end of JI. And my interview took only 15minutes with me being the 1st guy in! Smartly dressed, i meet Dr. KORean GUY.

Cannot Understand What he is saying!!

he speaks with a slang that half the time i was trying to decipher his words!!! And soon i realise he didnt even test me on my thereotical knowledge!!

ALAMAK! waste my time! So now i hope i can get selected to have a hands-on to what i have studied. waiting patiently for an answer..

Worry no. 2

Just yesterday, during my last midterm test, when me,ghaz and musab were busy transferring answers from our prep notes to the answer sheet, i saw something.....

~~this chinese gal who sit next to one of my frends actually went down and sabotage all 3 of us by telling the prof that we copied. I saw the girl pointing to the 3 of us. OH MAN!

So then me and my friends worried SICK that our test on that day might get an F or he might take action lah. But the prof didnt even come to us and didnt even ask our names and all.

IS THAT A BAD SIGN?????

we gave our scripts and then left. Praying SO HARD that he close one eye and let us go. Till now, no email from him so im pretty sure he doesnt care lah. He doesnt recognise us and thats for sure. SO whenever i open my email, i hope i wont get any email from him to 'come and see me in my office' ..
