P h e w w . . .

Finally that Monash interview was over. My interview was at 2.30pm, and in the morning I was actually feeling calm as usual...until when it was lunch time about 1pm I started to feel nervous. My mind kept popping up those answers to the possible questions that the interviewers might ask. As I sat in class thinking nothing, Siaw Tze started to kacau me by singing those songs (sounds) that always accompany those scenes in cartoon where the character is going to do some dangerous things..now I suddenly remembered that it's the Pink Panther's song. Later my roommie Amelene came in and asked whether I had prepared well. She told me some questions that she heard from other interviewees, then started making jokes which made us laugh (but she herself laughed the loudest). Cheah Yen was also laughing and she said it seemed that Amelene was more nervous than me. Hahaha... Siew Ting also came to join us. We discussed some possible questions and they suggested some answers for me. Thanks gals!!

At 2pm I left my classroom and headed straight to Block V with good-luck-wishes from my friends and my self-confidence. Waiting seemed longer than usual especially when I had nothing to do except WAITING. I browsed through the Monash University brochures on the table beside me, talked with Justina for a while, and spent my time away looking at the lecturers and officers walking in and out of the office. As I got tired of waiting, Joanne came out of the interview room feeling so relieved. And I thought, oh it's my turn now. 5 minutes later one of the interviewers came out and called my name, so I went in, shook hands with the two friendly and nice interviewers (one man and one lady) and took my seat. Funny that I was not feeling nervous anymore. =)

Halfway through the interview, when it was the man's turn to ask me questions on a reading passage, I realised that the woman was feeling sleepy...her eyelids seemed so heavy that she kept closing her eyes and trying to be as awake as possible at the same time!!

Half an hour later the man announced the words that I wanted to hear: 'This is the end of the interview.' Hehe... I was so happy when the lady said that it's nice talking to me~ =P
