Camp vs Interview

This day was cool one. I woke up at 6 in the morning, feeling so refresh. It been centuries since i last woke up this early.

1 of the reason probably is going back to camp, meeting up with my campmate. I am not going back for clearance yet, just some minor briefing.

Another reason is going for an interview later of the day. I wasn't really prepared, just giving out what i think that best describe when the question is post to me.

Back to camp, was a memorable event, i struggle and enjoy my life during my course of National Service here.

The briefing started at 9. Sad to say, Terence and Andrew wasn't around...Erm..maybe they don't know? Anyway it was really a short brief with some important essence. But it doesn't matter too much to me, i am going ORD. Starting to get unused to the change in the military compound.

An easy day in camp, but not for my interview. This guy named ken, left me with an impression of authority. He seems to enjoy authority and don't enjoy chatting.

The first question he posed to me " we have 20 mins, tell me more about yourself" As expected, sounds like i am back in the exam hall expecting questions of high probability. After talking to him for 5 mins, i signal to him that all i have to say. And he replied me in a cool manner " You have 20 mins to talk about yourself.."

I was totally freaked out...20 MINS? what am i going to say? Sounds more like a story telling session than an interview. Left with no choice, just tell him more about my experience, and he comment he want to know me more instead of my experience. I was feeling really low by then...

Then came the part on my transcript. Sometimes i just feel so ashamed of myself taking out such a lousy transcript, but i don't care, i believe in mindset and attitude not academic achievement.

He asked me about my favourite subject, and i give a subject for each semester. Halfway through he interrupt me asking my overall favourite subject. Feeling really low, i told him its Satellite Com. He was surprise, cause i fail that subject and i got an E with a retake. Given up on me, he doesn't want to hear any explanation.

The last of all....FINALLY..he tests my Electronics knowledge. Well frankly speaking, i know what is the usage, but i don't remember its defination. Come on, i am a practical man, not a theory guy. Anyway its his loss for giving up a real hardworking guy here.

He mention about calling those shortlisted guy after a week. I wasn't really interested, he was really a cold fellow without any emotion. His expression looks like he is so sian. How do you expect me to stay in this type of company? A company without life....
