I went for the first round of the STB Scholarship Rounds yest at STB. It's this really cool place in town...behind Tanglin Mall there. There was a group of about 20 of us. Went alone, ending up knowing two girls there. Most of the ppl were from arts but I have not seen most of them before. It was quite interesting. Started off with a briefing abt STB, what it does blah blah blah. Then we were broken up into 3 groups and had to take part in 'games'.
The first activity was actually to prepare for a presentation at the end of the day. As usually, there would be a few guys who wayang and as usu I wasnt in the mood for any of it. My group had lots of guys...like 5 guys and 2 gals...the other grps had the oppo composition. Anyway, one of the girls didnt speak up at all cos the guys were dominating the show, cos there were ppl assessing all of us. Felt we did quite a lousy job cos at the end of the 20mins we still didn't really get anything concrete out.
The second activity was better cos I had quite a bit to chip in. It was called some "Man on the moon" thingy where we crashed on the moon n had to rank items to bring with us on a mission to get to mother ship or something. Anyway, I started the ball rolling and managed to persuade them to do certain things though some idiots still refused to use my method (which in my opinion was quite efficient!) oh well...then after tt we had to play this game where we had to form into circles and then using our fingers (pretend your hand is a gun position) to lower a hulla-hoop without our fingers losing contact with the hoop. Its not as easy as you think cos the hoop tends to go up unless everyone relaxes.
Then was the deadly presentation. My group was the last and I was the last speaker. Was quite nervous n guess what...the earlier guys took too much time that I only had 30 sec+ to speak and I was cut off b4 I could even make my 2nd point. Sigh.
Then we had one-on-one interviews. I was the last in my group. Sigh. You know my problem?? I can't lie. And the assessor was good. He could tell that I still couldnt "let go" of social work. So he told me to consider carefully first cos they only want ppl who can commit 100% and asked me to email them if I want to be considered for the scholarship.
I don't think I will.
*My Day Today*
I woke up, did some readings and embarked on my 4 page essay. I expected to take 2-3hrs but ended up spending more than 6hrs on it. Sigh. And its a piece of crap. You know how you know after you write it? Sometimes you feel confident (may be misplaced though ;) sometimes you know you are just writing it for the sake of handing it up. I hate it but I cant help it. arg!
Things got much better when I went to Bridget's place for Confirmation meeting. She made wonderful PIZZA for all of us...had cupcakes, fruits (I didnt touch it) and English tea!! haha wonderful! man...journey is ending soon...till then there's so much to do! arg!
