The Wrong Room
Eh. I think I’ve lost my funny. I’ve become more of a bastard-ish kind of funny, something like Egoman’s kind of funny, but something totally different too.
Bah. No matter.
This week was an eventful week. I had the law interview and my Passing Out Parade (POP)..
Firstly, let me cover the interview. I tell you, I have not been in the ‘thinking’ frame of mind ever since I’ve left Biz Club. I’ve neither watched what I’ve said, nor done any serious bullshiting since then.
CD hasn’t helped to sharpen any of my skills either.
Lo and behold, when I arrived at the seminar room, I was greeted to a room full of guy nerds. And 2 pretty, manicured VJ girls, who in my opinion looked like they would be my future bosses one day.
We were then asked to proceed into the adjacent room and were tasked to write an essay on one of five topics given to us within 15 minutes.
4 out of 5 were Lit-based questions. They took excerpts from Shakespeare and asked us to relate it to the confines of the local legal system.
I had no choice but to do the last general question on “The greatest human virtue is ….”
I put ‘hope’.
When the time was over, I must say, I was satisfied with the essay I had written and was confident that the next part of the interview process would go fairly well.
We were then asked to proceed to 2 waiting areas, each leading to an interview room. It was free seating, and fate had seated me in a particular area.
We waited for our turn to go in, and 3 by 3 we went in for our group interviews. I must say, wrong company to hang out with. In with me was one VJ and one AC guy.
The VJ guy, I will never forget. No, I’m not smitten, I’m just shell shocked. He spoke with such eloquence, with such proficiency, confidence, grace, finesse, he left me looking like an uncouth barbarian. Thank god, the AC guy was a poor speaker.
I can’t begin to describe how it felt to be outspoken, and beaten, yet I felt that he deserved his win. Thank god it was just a Q and A style of interview, for if I had debated that guy, I would have left the room, curled up into a ball, sucking my thumb.
Kudos to that guy.
All in all, I felt that I did my best, but I was awoken to the true realities of life. Your best may not be enough. All it needs are a few good men, like that VJ guy to beat the rest of us. I will never forget his name, for he may one day be an MP or something. Post-interview, I did some digging up and discovered that he was a very prominent figure in RI and VJ.
Totally the wrong room to be in.
Ah, I’m lazy to write any further, so I’ll keep it short.
I’m now a Private in CD. POP went well ( how could it not? I was in charge of all proceedings. =p )
And now, I’m posted to the SCDF HQ in Ubi into the Finance Department.
Its an 8 to 5 job.
So anyone knows anybody who can get me tuition clients?
Call me if you know of anyone.
Till next time.
