20070331ok. blogging about my smu accountancy interview
it had to rain cats and dogs before i stepped out of my house to go to the bus stop
and i had to run for 36 and i got my shoes partially wet
argh
the journey to smu was funny
my mind was blank so i just listened to music
reached there
signed in with the security
and i took the lift up to 5th floor, Dean's office
saw some pple sitting at the sofa area
went in den a girl pointed me to go register
after that sat down with them
about 5 i tink
so talked a lil bit la
but i was really quite nervous
because there were 4 rooms or 4 panels
so we were down there thinking isit go 1 room den interview once den must complete the 4 rooms
and blah blah blah
my interview was supposed to be 2.15
but some pple whose interview was 2.45 were alr there
THAT IS DAMN KIASU CAN
i reach at 2 alr thinking super early
anw when it was 2.30 the 2.15 batch pple were still nt interviewed
den finally 2 girls came out
and somebody said "wah. they talk for half an hour leh"
i was thinking : this is bad. pple manage to keep them entertained for HALF AN HOUR
how am i suppose to do that man
anw. my strategy for my interview was to SMILE :D
i was the last 2.15 person to go into the interview
went into the room at about 2.35
when i went in there was a lady and a man
all chinese
which i first heaved a sign of relief
i was just scared if it was ang moh i might have prob understanding them
ok. i'm going type in convo form
carnt really rmb the questions and what i ans exactly nw since a few days has passed
INT stands for either the lady or the man k
fj will of course stands for me
fj: *went in SMILING* hi, good afternoon :D
INT: take a seat
*fj settles down first*
INT: tell me about yourself
fj: ohhhhh. errrrr *i was really stunned* I WAS STILL SMILING
INT: ok. ur short term plan and long term plan for taking accountancy
fj: oh. *actually dunnoe what short term long term shit* actually i didnt know what i wanted to take in uni last time, until j2 where they started teaching macroeconomics. started to like economics although j1 i really hated the micro economics la. so i decided that i wanted to go into the commercial or buisness area in uni. in addition i like maths so i decided on accountancy. also i heard that its a professional degree so yah. i chose accountancy. my long term plan is actually because every industry or firm would surely require an accountant. so by choosing accountancy my job next time is kind of secured. yup
*STILL SMILING AND SMILING AND SMILING*
INT: ok. u went for the 30 hour famine camp right. why did you attend the camp?
fj: ok. i saw the 30 hour camp thing on tv last time so i have been thinking of joining if given the chance and all. i would really like to know how it is like to starve for 30 hour since i'm always quite famished when it is near meal times
*SMILES*
INT: what are your thoughts after attending the camp?
fj: hmmm. it was an quite an experience for me. i got to experience how the people in the 3rd world countries lives are like. how they starve but yet have to work in order to survive. during the camp we starved but still had to carry out activities such as news paper collection. so after the camp i realised i'm actually have a blissful live so i must not take things for granted
*SMILES*
INT: ok. so what do you normally do during your free time
fj: *SHIT SHIT SHIT* only 3 things popped in my mind, shopping, movie and kbox. but in order to not sound stupid. "hmmmm. shopping and movie?" *SMILES SMILES*
*sidenote: i wanted to say painting and piano but decided not to. i scared they ask which painting i like and that equals to DIE DIE DIE*
INT: ok. so what is the most recent movie you watched?
fj: 300! :D
INT: what are your thoughts after the movie?
fj: hmmm. i admire the ancient greek spirit. i learnt that you have to fight for what you want and what you believe * smiles*
INT: ok. so do you normally read the newspaper. like the buisness news *and some greek word came out of their mouth which i had no idea what it was* and news regarding corporate scandals
fj: *DIE DIE DIE. cannot say yes. later kenna slapped more* so i answered. "no. actually when i read newspaper i read the HOME and LIFE section. so i don't really know much about buisness news"
*SMILING DESPERATELY*
INT: so do you know about the NKF scandal
fj: *I KNOW CAN. although i might see like some frog in the well* "Oh yes yes" with a smile of course
INT: so what would you do if u are the auditor of NKF
fj: *it just blurted out don't laugh pls* "er. what is an auditor huh?"
this time smiling idiotically
INT: an auditor manages the accounts for a firm
fj: * gaining enlightenment* oh. i would double check the accounts. i make sure they really spend the money for the right purpose and make sure they report their spending accurately. i would not be bribed by those who want me to fake the accounts. i mean its for charity and you cannot use those money for ur own pleasure *smiles confidently although i know i have a shitty ans*
INT: ok. so do you have any other questions?
fj:norm how long you take to complete the course
INT: depends how many modules you take. some pple complete in 3 years some pple complete in 4 years
fj: ok. i guess i don't have any more questions. yup (:
INT: ok. you may leave
fj: *SMILES* ok. thank you and have a nice day!
ok. i tink they asked me more questions den that but i really cannot rmb
and what i typed above is really a rough memory of what happened
my mind was really blank at that point
carnt really rmb what exactly happened
the interview lasted for like 10mins or so
hai. and the whole interview was so NORMAL and not entertaining
i failed to keep them entertained for half an hour
which i dont think i will get in
ohwells. at least its over for now
i tink i was casually dressed for the interview as compared to the rest
show you how i dressed
after the interview i headed to orchard to get a 1 litre big sigg bottle for work
hahahahhaha. YES. no need to walk up and down to go refill water so frequently
ok. after orchard went to PS and walk around when it was like 4plus
suppose to meet jingting and debbie at 615
i had like 2 hours plus to rot
went to dorothy perkins and bought a basic top
haha. to prevent myself for spending unneccesarily
i landed myself at times bookshop
where i learnt some korean
which i have forgotten now
flipped through this 300 book
it actually shows how they made the movie
fascinating but bloody
surprisingly time passed very fast
it was like 5 plus going 6
walked around a lil while more
and sat at starbucks to wait for them
had MOS. later tracy came to meet us
and it was the start of a GOSSIPING session
hahahahahahahahahahhaha

reached home at about 12
the past 2 days i have been slogging my guts out once again
and its the end of the month!

yest i was SLAPPED by my manager
i shall elaborate first
we were saying sth that led to asking my manager to go to do counter
paying him $6 an hour
he said:" excuse me?! am i that cheap skate? $6 an hour? what is that? we are like paying fujing $12 an hour can?"
i was entirely speechless dunnoe what to do
real slap in my face
so i am cheap skate
later on my colleague told him i am paid $6 an hour
so all along he thought i'm $12 an hour
OMG

leaving freezing and trembling in that office for the afternoon
