Interview Practical

Went to an Interview practical organised by the Engineering Graduate Centre.
The entire session lasted for about 3 hours.

Feedbacks from the course conductor about my interview.
  • handshake & touch arm
  • smile
  • personable
  • honest
  • lucid speech
  • eye contact
  • confident
  • puts himself forward
  • too much 'yeah yeah yeah'
  • good use of experience
  • don't touch elbow
From role playing, to recorded interview, I truly enjoyed this 3-hour session.

(Of course, generous lunch is served at the end of the session)

Utterly lost

A wonderful snowing sunny morning, went to the train station with fie for the train to Chichester.
She is going back to Chichester, to start her working life with Amey, while i will continue my student cum part time working life.

For the 1st time ever, the journey in a bus back home lengthens incredibly. Every minute is like an hour. Difficult, distorted and awkward.

There is a void in me, but I am just too proud to admit.

I miss you. :)

Boleh kasih chance ka?

Friday night, during this night of the week, Nottingham becomes a very different place, the old market square turns into a giant toilet bowl, where people would simply vomit everywhere along the road.
Driving around the city, we can see doors with a platoon of dressed up 'dolls' , which will be the big sign for a night club. 2 of my friends and I would not like to miss out this opportunity of the week, we want to join in the 'culture' of Nottingham.
Hitting the finest club in Nottingham, Coco Tang, All of us were dressed up.
While we are looking for a car park around the city, as the whole city was packed with cars. Blue flashes appear inside our car, as soon as it happens, we notice that we were stopped by English policemen.
When they first approach us,

Policeman: 'Excuse me sir, the reason we stop your car is because........'
(My friend's Driving Insurance is not valid, as only by then we know that his driving insurance was faked by a Chinese Culprit)
Then after about 20 minutes, my friend was given a traffic ticket, This could be a very serious traffic offence in UK which might have cause my friend to lose his car, driving license and also his permit to stay in England.

For that period of time, we appreciate how people deal with all this in Malaysia
IC, and cash 'accidentally' slip underneath,
while saying 'Boleh kasih chance ka?'
