When Silence Is No Longer Golden

Hey readers! Finally I am able to fulfill my promise to post about my third interview with Ecquaria! Are you surprised? Perhaps, since it is the first time I actually fulfilled my promise for posting something... One takeaway from this event is that procrastination is bad. I mean, I failed to fulfill my promise to post about introduction and Skyrim because I keep procrastinating. As a result, more events come along the way and I feel more compelled to write about the more recent ones. Returning readers (if any) will realize that I have been away for quite some time. Well, after this third interview, I fell sick a few days after. After I recovered, I went back to work and thus less time to spend doing other things. I took some days off again and thus now I am able to update my blog again. Anyway, let us not waste another moment (aka procrastinate) and get to the main story. On that day, I was feeling more confident than on the day of my previous interview , mainly because I was better p...

Hi readers! I am quite sure some of you followers of my blog (if any; I doubt there is any, actually) are rather confused for the seemingly not-linked chain of events happening in my blog. For example, just 2 posts ago I wrote about being employed without knowing the job description and complaining, but on the next post I was talking about my second interview. Well, that is because there is a gap, duh. I do not have time in between to fill you guys in because, well, I do not have the time. I've got a job, and my scholarship interviews are just around the corner. Anyway, now that I have the time, I would fill you guys in what is actually happening in between, and more. Maybe the first question comes to your mind is, "You said you've got a job and no time, how can you post this, then? Not to mention that it is in the middle of the week!" Well, I have a good answer for that. I asked for leave for indefinitely from 8th May onward. Wow, you may remark, what a kind and unde...

Hi, readers. It is quite a joy to see that my blog has reached more than 200 pageviews while I was away doing... many stuff. Perhaps, even from the first sentence, you would have noticed my... less enthusiastic tone  compared to my previous posts. Well, you guessed it, it's because of my second of the series of interview I am going to have this year did not go well.  Perhaps you are wondering, what is the big deal? You said you screwed up your SUTD interview and yet you were still offered a place there, why this time would be any different? Well, I do not know if I have told you guys this (too lazy to check on the post itself, sorry), but SUTD interview was for both admission and scholarship. While I was offered a place in SUTD, I was not offered any scholarship with the admission offer. You could say that I am satisfactory for admission, but not for scholarship. Even worse, it is possible that I am actually not satisfactory, but it is just that SUTD needs students really, rea...

Hi readers/passer-by/pageviewers/whatever you want to be called! I proudly announced that my blog has reached 100 pageviews!!! =D Okay, actually, I know it is not so much of a big deal; other blogs can reach thousands of pageviews in a day. But still, for an anonymous, without promotion blog like mine, it is quite an achievement to reach 100 pageviews within a month! Still, I understand that most of the viewers actually just accidentally stumbled upon my this, or maybe some people googling the keyword "sutd interview" opened the second search result page and clicked on this blog by chance. Anyway, I post this not just to write about me being happy and joyful of the 100 pageviews. Remember me wondering why people still searching for "sutd interview" on Google ? Well, I have the answer for that, which is.......*drum roll* because SUTD actually IS STILL conducting interviews!! Below is the evidence that SUTD is still calling out students to come for interview: He is st...

Good GOD!! Today my series of universities and scholarships interviews have started and I only have 2 posts on my blog!! So, this morning is the first of the interview series, which is the SUTD Skype-based admission interview. For the benefit of those who do not know, SUTD stands for Singapore University of Technology and Design. As I heard from my friends, it is not overly formal interview where the interviewers' goal is to know me better and see whether I am fit to be in the university. There were 2 interviewers, with a handful of moderators, according to the voices I heard in the background, possibly 1-3 of them. Basically, the questions are as follows (as far as I remember): 1. Tell me more about yourself 2. What course are you going to choose if you are admitted to SUTD? 3. Do you have any role model? 4. Is it okay for you to stay in the hostel (freshmen are required to stay in their hostel for 3 terms)? 5. What, to you, is the world's challenge in technology and design? (...
