life has nv been so great~~~ lalalalalalalalala
i really nv prepare much for e interview... cos i was half-letting fate decide if i can get e intern.. but i did dig out my econometrics n stats notes to revise when i shld b revising chn ecy.. haizz... but only to realise i forgot a lot of stuff.. but i jus agar memorise a few definitions so dat i can xian if needed... hahaha...
yupz so anyway i reached there 5 min to 4... den e recep was weird.. as in e area cos ppl r writing on mahjong paper wif marker.. n ppl walking here n there in v casual wear.. like some advertising firm kind.. i felt out of place wearing a long sleeve blouse n black skirt n court shoes.. yupz... den i sat on one of e high chairs cos e sofa was taken...
den waited till 415 e hr person came n c wad i was reading...
she:"preparing for exams?"

den e boss [a lady] came n asked if i was huimin...
yupz so i went in wif her...
shortly after i sat down.. e hr person came in n said she need to have a word wif e boss
[i bet it was abt i can only b an intern n not a full time]
n i was right.. cos e boss said "oh i heard u applying for intern"
boss:have u had any job experience b4?
me:yupz radio, banks n shipping

den she asked if i noe stats n modelling...
told her i did econometrics n stats...
den she said oh we dun nid u to build models.. cos most likely we already haf e model n u jus nid to input e figures, do some charting.. n move them over to ppt...
yupz den she asked if i m familiar wif spss[a software]

den she looked at e most sensitive part: my pay!!
on e guidelines it says:
recommended was 600 la...but most companies pay our intern 650 to 1200...
den my boss asked me how much u want??
den i meekly said 650 is enuf...
den she oh alright... is 1000 enuf?
[stunned n looked at her grinning from 1 ear to another]
den she went on to say.. oh actually i think 1200 is ok wif me too... alright 1200 then!!

den i asked her abt working hours... haha 9-6pm 5 day week.. alright... so i can wake up qt late ba 730 lydat den leave hse 830.. hahaha.. happy!
n i told her its only 8 exact weeks i m tokking abt cos i nid to go china.. n she's fine wif it!!
oh but she qt freaked out if she nids to write a report or wad to submit to our sch.. den she was sorta relieved when she saw it's jus a questionaire she nid to fill in.. oh n dat a ntu tutor will come down n visit me... she was like "when is ur tutor coming down????" huh how i noe la.. i jus pray hard its not gg to b prof ng.. dun make me luff... hahaha... den she said its ok if my prof wanna come down n visit... jus let her noe b4hand.. hahaha...
