Maths Model Playing + RICO exco interview

2dae's maths model making was rather dumb. We first started off with some problems regarding match sticks and coins. The questions seem tough but all of them ended with dumb answers like stacking the coins up or making the coins into a tetrahedron shape. haha. So, in the end, the starting 1 hr was sort of wasted. Then, we took bus to Sci. Centre where we ate at Mcs. I ate a Sausage Mcmuffin with egg student meal. It was nice and filled me up. However, the session that was to come was SO BORING. We were supposed to use mathematics to form models. Yup. I think that's quite interesting but all we had to do was to follow instructions to make the models so in fact, i dont think we learnt anything except to follow instructions carefully.

Yes. So that ended my first exterior programme day. I took bus back to RI and met up with Rich, Edward, Nicholas, Weijie, Ke Jing and Chong Yu. We all went to eat at mcdonalds (again) and this time i ate a filet-o-fish student meal. Den, we went up to J8 to walk about. Edward and Rich are thinking of buying me a b'dae present. YAY. So happy. haha. and we were also looking for things to buy for teachers' day. Here was how one of the conversations in popular went...

Ke Jing: (Points to a P1 Chinese Workbook) HEY! I think we can buy Mr. Yap (eng. teacher) this.
Me: Huh? How can? P1 Chinese Workbook too hard for him lah...
Weijie: Yar lah, i think nursery one more suitable.

HAHA... i noe that's being very bad, but it was quite fun lah. In the end, we didnt buy anything but it was fun juz to be together and walking around aimlessly.

Den, next up was interviews for RICO exco. AHH!!! I was like so scared lah. I was the onli sec 2 there. The others going for the interviews were all sec 3s. Well, it was really scary, esp. the suspense. The interviews started with yu chen who wants to become chairman. His interview took around 15-20 min. I was like "OMG!!! Interview take so long??" And when he came out, he said he was quite gd but they asked him about his GPA and so he screwed-up. haha. And he said the whole interview was in chinese. I was like "HUH?? Chinese? How i speak? Me dunno any chinese" haha. Was getting really scared den...

Next up was Biran i think. His one also took around 15-20 min. He was running for vice-chair and they were asking qns like what will u do if other ppl hate u cuz u become vice-chair or what will u do in order for RICO to achieve a gold? Yar... So, that was that...

A few more ppl went in and came out b4 it came to my turn. I was so afraid i think i was trembling when i went in... So, here r the details of the interview...

Some qns they asked:
1. How would u make Joshua come for CCA?
2. How would u make Thomas and Yin Kwan listen to u?
3. What would u do to solve the problem of percussion being a traditionally slack section?
4. In what ways do u think u would make a better SL den Tsu Ern?
5. Which would u prefer, leadership or friendship?

Amount of time interview took: 30 min (LIKE SO LONG...)

PPL who asked me qns:
1. LSH (she asked most of the qns.)
2. Lionel
3. Boyi
4. Hwee Leong
5. Shi Da

Most interesting thing said:
LSH,"If Joshua comes for practice on Friday, ur place as SL is 50% sealed."

yar... so that was how the interview went. It was really like intimidation as it was like 1:20 ppl... Normally, sec 2s will get interviewed in 3s but cuz i was running for SL (LSH said i was hand-picked to go for interview, i wonder who hand-picked me...), i had to be interviewed alone... That's so sad. haha. Well, it has ended and we will juz have to see what happens doesnt it? Dont noe y either but thomas didnt come for interviews and instead, tsu ern came. haha.

yes... so that's about all... feeling really happy that it's finally over. haha. can relax a bit now. Next step to becoming SL: Get as much votes as possible...
