Happy belated birthday to the following people: My brother's 20th (20/01), Dijah's 20th (21/01) and Farhan's 20th as well (my pri skoolmate) (22/01). You see? so easy to remember their bday..it's back to back..

An update on my interview last friday:
The start, way before the interview, sucks than the middle and the end. Good thing i didn't overshot when i was finding the building. When i got to the entrance reception, i forgot the interview's name!! Me to receptionist: "hi, i have an appointment with..with..sorry ah i forgot.." I began searching for the paper that has her name. "yah, i have an appointment with Clare"
he asked for my IC but i showed him the paper for proof..-_-

then, i got the visitor pass. I was suppose to scan it and wait for a while before i can go through. But wat i did was, i went straight thru before the green light, and the alarm went off. i looked at the security guard and he gave me a 'it's okay' look.
then, i went up to 3rd level's reception. I reported to the receptionist tat i have an appointment with Clare (this time, i remembered her name).

there was a group of people standing near the reception but i went straight to sit at the seating area. Just when i was seated, these group of ppl earlier on was laughing..and i heard them say Clare's name. i tink they were laughing at me..i dun noe lah..but i hated it. Just bcoz' they are not local. there was a wall in between the seating area & the reception area so i couldn't see them and they couldn't see me. The whole time i was waiting, they were busy taking pictures. How i noe? i kept hearing, 'ok..everyone look here..1,2,3 smile!' the receptionist was the cameraman, i guess. And one of the ppl in tat group kept laughing and he laughed hard and loudly..so irritating..

The interview went well for me. i wasn't stuttering and it was only 1 qn tat she asked tat took me longer to answer. She told me tat i wld get lunch allowance and taxi fare like i was going to work there already..at the back of my mind, i was hoping that she has no more qns for me. Lastly, she asked me whether i have anything to ask, and i decided to ask her, "since the company/bank has been around for 150 years already, wat was the secret to the long-term success?" She had tat 'wow' look and she told me the reason being the employees tat know their work and enjoy their work. Sumthing like that..

While going down the lift, i was thinking about how i'm going to get out after the alarm incident. This time, i really scaned the pass and waited for the green light b4 pushing the handle..fuh!
