# Sprung... a leak
Tuesday
Historical day. Let's get the basics out of the way. Got up, went for interview, went to church, went to school, had dinner, tuition, came home to blog about it. Here we go.
Okay, the highlight of the day, the SPRING SG interview. If any of you from Spring Singapore is reading this - HI! Hope u had a nice day at work =)
Woke up at 7.40 after Jean convinced me waking at 7am for an 11am interview is madness. Haha. So i woke up later, took a shower, re-ironed my pants, did my QT and then prepared to leave. It was abt 9am. Reached the bus stop at 9.10, and 14 was already here. Yay. No need to wait.
Got up, sat down, listen to All of the Above till about hostel there, then started reading up my Spring SG notes. Yes ppl, i made notes. I know that Philip Yeo is the Chairman while Mr Loh Khum Yean is the CEO and his deputy is Mr Png Cheong Boon. I found out it has 5 branches and 4 strategic thrusts. But do you care? I guess not. Haha. But still, the stuff they do are quite cool. ETDF, CCI, MDP, BrandPact. Yup, without Spring, its like, building a house without machinery. U can do it, but it'll be much easier with their help.
Yeah, lets just say i was super early for the interview. Yup, met Maria on level 20, she took my certs, gave me back my Orange folder, and i sat down. There wa this guy opposite me. Just smiled, but he looked super tense. Didn't get to speak to him and he went for the interview.
Actually, there was an air of disappointment when ireached level 20, i instantly knew it wasn't the final round and there would still be a need for Round 4. But oh well. Read Enterprise Today while waiting. Prayed. And finally my turn came.
The HR Exec was a very nice lady, then she gave me a quick briefing on what was gonna happen in the room, and it was Mr Tan from Corporate Development and a lady from Enterprise Capabilities i think. The interview was rather smooth although i didn't throw all my knowledge of Spring at them.Yeah, should have done that. Sighs...
Then the usual ending question came.. Do you have any questions for us?
I asked about the departments in Spring, if i get to choose... bla bla bla.. then i asked about accomodation. And here's when the leak sprung itself.
HR Exec : We will certainly provide the accomodation for our scholars
Me : Oh, so you'll be paying for my hall fees if i accept NUS
HR Exec : Well, we will definitely fund our scholars' accomodation because they need it when they are overseas
Me : Oh, okay, so firefly is ONLY giving out overseas scholarships
HR Exec : Yes..... *and here i stop listening and start thinking.. oh crap.. i am screwed*
Yup. found out that firefly only wants to give out overseas scholarships. And i don;t have an overseas place to be sent to. So yeah, God, if You want me to take up a plain ASEAN in NUS, i will i guess. But if u give me the Spring Scholarship, i know its You cuz it will take a miracle to get me both a scholarship and a place overseas to read Engineering.
Yup. That's how the thing went. A quick 20 minute interview. Then bussed back to home. Slept. Sorry Jayne, my hp was going crazy today. JoJo smsed me and i finally got 8 msgs straight away after restarting my phone. Helped Jayne out and towards the end, she had to leave for driving. All the best!! Finished it up and went home.
*Cue College Anthem - Jazz Version (which is my ringtone btw)*
Yumei called and i get to go and get the cable. She was doing make up PE. Reached school and saw her and Sek. Sek was doing the most cool make up PE I've ever heard. Shoot 100 balls. And Sek being the *cute* haha Sek she is chose 100 3 point shots. I reached at 57. And stayed around till 100. It was super funny lar with Yumei helping Sek with the balls. Yumei is also a B.. I.. M... B... She's a Bimbo.. B.. I... m...?... She's a Bimbo! Hahaha! *knocks her own head with the ball* Haha! Twice! Haha! So funny!! And then Sek also laughed, then can't concentrate and shot a few ass-balls (according to Yumei) Haha! Ok, she meant air-balls. Then after about an hour (they were ther for an hour already) we left while Sek still wanted to stick around shooting more balls. So cool ryte, 100 shots for make up PE.
Then as i left, saw the PE teachers opposite. Anyone want to guess what they were doing. I doubt any of u can guess it right. Seriously, even I didn't believe it.
Ate my dinner, on the way out, met Aprine, Amanda and Ying Huan, topped up EZLink and then went for tuition. Then came home. Yup. Hi. Im still on the school laptop. I bet that's illegal when u were retrenched like more than a week ago? I guess TJ jz rocks!
