Attended the interview for Prime Minister's Book Prize today.
Not too good, but not that bad either. It wasn't as demanding as the scholarships interviews since the interviewers weren't looking out for content. Their main aim was to see whether candidates could converse fluently in both English and Mandarin. So it was like a chit-chat session actually.
One of the interviewer commented that my ability to converse in Chinese far exceeded that of English. Haha maybe he meant that my English was lousy, or to look at it positively, my Mandarin was good. I bet it's more of the former though -.-
Heard from Cindy that out of the 10 students DHS nominated, only 2 got shortlisted by MOE to attend the interview. So she thinks that the interview is only a formality. I do hope this is the case, or else I will feel so sorry and guilty for losing 50% of DHS's chance in the awardees' list )=
There were so many candidates from RJC and Hwa Chong la. I think that DHS students are definitely as good as, if not better, than students from other institutions in terms of bilingualism. Seriously don't understand how come there's such a big difference in the number of students shortlisted.

Enjoyed school today!!
Had lunch with jochebed, yunjing, yuntong and jiahui. Weirdly, everyone was super high and kept laughing non-stop. Haha had stomachache after that though ):
Played captain's ball with cheryl's class during mass pe! SUPER SUPER FUN (=
Went home with jochebed, chenying and leeyan. Played the cheng yu game and realised that my chinese standard is really deteoriating ><
Have been procrastinating loads since the start of the year. Must buck up soon and do proper work and read books AHH!!

Just had Project Work meeting at Paya Lebar Macs.
I was late again haha, sorry >< But I made up for it by being real efficient!!
Seriously, PW can be a real waste of time. Like our first group session at Joel's house, it was purely a bonding session la. I didn't really mind though, because we shared many many gossips and had great fun (=
I really love my group, made up of ME, qingyi, emelyne, joel and ziren, it's seriously the best group anyone could ever have!! All of us are willing to compromise and listen to one another, therefore reducing possible conflicts to the minimum (:
Today's session was okay I guess. Joel had SE, and it somehow seemed less funny without him. I wanted to go home watch drama so was very efficient in getting everyone else to be efficient. Haha yup we got things done but spent around 4 hours, and I still missed my drama in the end. SIGH.
Many many more work to be done. Yet I can't seem to get started.
And there's interview for Prime Minister's Book Prize tomorrow. 5th interview in my entire life.

Millions of thoughts in my mind. But I can't seem to transform them into words.
After one year of inactivity, I've decided to blog again. Had been trying to do that for months, but couldn't find a suitable layout, didn't have time, blah blah blah. All sorts of excuses available haha.
I seriously missed blogging though. Experienced all kinds of emotions for the past year, and it seems such a waste that they weren't recorded down.
Nevertheless, I shall not attempt to blog about past events. Afterall, life is about looking forward isn't it?
A new chapter of Hui Wen's memory lane begins...
