Maybe, Mayhaps Not.


I just got to blog about it.

Last Friday was Cambridge interview day for me. Felt very excited and nervous about it. Honestly, I was dreading for it to be equally if not worst encounter than the one I had with the mock interview. (don't get me started on that...) The fact that the interview was at my college makes the whole thing slightly more bearable.

I came early, in fact a bit too early, had to wait there for an hour or so. Met someone who was applying for medicine. Which makes me wonder, why o why do people opt for medicine when the field is saturated and there are other field which is also equally interesting? OK, perhaps not saturated, but surely with so many other choices, why medicine? I guess everyone has their own reasons. In anyways, good luck to people opting for medicine! xD

Anyway, then it was my turn. I was so nervous! I never been so nervous, not even in performances! The first thing I noticed was the strong aroma (or the stench in my view) of coffee. In some ways though, I am glad for the presence of coffee smell. It makes the interviewer more human.

Interviewer seems kind enough. But then, all of them are, especially, ESPECIALLY, when you totally screwed it. Helped me get comfortable. He is coincidentally a Mathematics expert, the course which I was applying, and also coincidentally, the director of studies of the course in the college I am applying. Which adds up more emotional burden. But he seems excited about interviewing a potential student to his college in his course. Asked some standard question, then proceed to the most interesting part of the interview : the math question.

Normally, I would love it, but since these also ultimately decides whether I can be admitted to the uni, so you can imagine.

When I saw it was a vector problem, I was like, shit! Of all possible question, he just gave me my weakest part. But then, as I gave it a try, i find that it wasn't too bad. In fact, it's way better than I expected. I can almost answer everything except the last part. (I won't bore you with details) Even then, he commented I was close. An expert said I was close! It might not mean anything, but to me that was something. So I came out feeling at the top of the world.

Until the written test next day.

That was horrendous. Brain totally freeze. Couldn't even solve some simple factorisation. The most frustrating part? Was to find out later after the test that I can solve the questions! I knew I could do much much better, so naturally I was disappointed.

Well, that's life. Guess I just have to accept I ain't good enough.

Still sucks though. ==

Hopefully Waterloo will accept me now! xD (praying:please please please accept me!!!)

That's all about my experience, very interesting but disappointing. Sigh!

Till then,

OVER AND OUT!!! (11:31 PM)

O my, haven't I been absent from the blogosphere from a very extensively long time. Hi! You wouldn't want to know why I am not blogging for such a long time, lest you complain it'll be too cliche.

Well, I am still busy. Officially anyway. I am actually in the middle of the dreaded AS exam. Actually, it haven't been the predicted OI'msodead,whyhaven'tIseentheserubbishinmylifebefore?!DAMPIamscrewed!!! kind of doom. YET. I only had Thinking Skills and Maths, after TWO weeks. NOW you get it.

And no that's no a typo error.

I decided to clean up my choice of words. You'll never know, there might be kids bumping to this site (how unfortunate) and pointing the finger at me for their atrociously colourful language. Nor I do want to get involve in any incident with the Malaysian Board of Censorship. O no, no way.

Cheers! xD

College has been fine. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed my time in college well enough. Just wasn't that awesome. As a matter of fact, I felt lonely at times. Fortunately, I chose a course where we have to study our ass off, so that problem is taken care off. Plus I was busy with application to university recently. Speaking of which, the application was a pain in the ass. Don't make me go through it again. Nevertheless, still looking forward for the interview session and written test this Friday and Saturday. Very excited to meet top experts and to actually be engaging with them on an intellectual discussion is very exhilarating. Just wish I am well prepared and don't screw up in front him.

fingers crossed!!!

Guess that'll be enough updating about myself. Wish me luck people!

On a lighter note, check this video out:
