Skippy words

So, the interview with MOE went fine. I was in and out within 10 minutes. But, I was called in promptly, at the allocated time, 5pm. And I tell myself that it's cos it has been a whole day of interviews and my time was an hour to their knock-off time, so... there were a lot of disincentives to keep me longer than 10 minutes. Ya?

It started in English first. Then a man, probably a retiring Chinese teacher or HoD, spoke to me in Mandarin. No sweat in that. I felt quite comfortable speaking in Mandarin to him. It felt like talking to my old Chinese teacher. He smiled a lot. Good sign?

So, the interview result would be known in 3 weeks' time.

Gets a bit pressure and stress. 'Cos almost everyone who knows of this career decision of mine was so sure that I'd ace it and I'd have no problem. They sound even more sure of me than me.

Oh, and I must mention that my dad was like so excited about the prospect of me being a teacher, specifically, a MOE-teacher, that he even wanted to see what I wore to the interview. Never seen him get so excited about any of my (or my sis) interviews. It's a bit nerve-wrecking though. Like I'm living out his dream.

But whatever it is, for now, the wait continues. So does the GSS!!!

My mundane dilemmas

Everytime I'm caught in employment limbo phasse, my concerns and the things I worry about become so very mundane.

Like now, I'm thinking about whether it's wiser to tap on my savings and make some good-deal purchases during the GSS now, or to wait for an income to come in and pay a bit more but have my savings intact.

And the bimbo thing about this is that, I've been thinking about it for a few days. And it's almost like the most important decision of my life currently. haha!

But, like I told Hadrian over msn, I think I'm beginning to enjoy mulling over such mundane questions. Wahaha~
