Not sure if I am handling things correctly, not even sure why and how I have gotten into this. I am really afraid I would unknowingly offend someone in the process. However, I strongly believe things will turn out great eventually =) Victoria, here I come!

Boeing visit. We are always over charged, and there are no significant benefits to join FIUTS as compared to OTOT. I enjoyed the trip though, just that it was not credited to FIUTS but Boeing. I thought the entire tour was well planned out, and the script for everything was tremendous. Add in a short plump guide who led by example and brisk walked 0.3 miles, frustrating activities somehow lost that impact. Great job done.

Postponed BarCap phone interview.

Jiren: "Hi, before we start the interview I would like to inform that my current location is at Seattle, Washington. I am on an exchange for 6 months, and am wondering if there are any complications to the procedures."
Interviewer: "Oh, ok. I won't want to waste your time, let me check with HR."
End of first phone call. Haha.

10 minutes later...
Intervierwer: "Hi, can I speak to Zheng Xiang please?"
Jiren: "Erm I am Jiren, I suppose Zheng Xiang is the next person on the list?"
Interviewer: "Oh... anyway I have checked with HR and bla bla"
Chit-chat continues...
Interviewer: "By the way, how did you know about this internship application? Did you attend our campus recruitment at NUS?"
Jiren: "Hmm, I am from NTU..."
Quite interesting. Obviously, I asked about work-life balance again ha. 30 minutes on roaming, thanks Pa.

Schools good. Clearing assignments comfortably, but not exceptionally outstanding in my opinion. Students here are interesting, and there is this Cole from my Accounting class who is especially so.

Lecturer: "Any questions?"
Cole raises hand. Lecturer asks for the question.
Cole: "Do British like to wear red?" (The lecturer is a British and was wearing red)
The lecturer answered and asked for further questions. Cole responded again.
Cole: "How many children do you have?" (Or something along that line, I cannot remember)
Lecturer: "Ok Cole, do you have any questions related to Accounting?"
Cole: "No."

It so happened that I crashed another Accounting tutorial and Cole is there.
TA: "Any questions?"
Cole raises hand.
TA: "Cole, is your question related to Accouting?"
Cole: "No."
Apparently the TA anticipated well.

"Avoid expectations to avoid disappointments" - something that I have told myself 1 year ago, but yet to master =( I am just feeling emo again haha.

It was 1am. Who says Seattle is cold at night?

I remembered I wanted to become a pilot 5 years ago. But I failed the interview =(

100% natural. Style.

According to the Wise one, putting your hand on full-marks scripts while sleeping will boost your chances. This is in addition to having neatly stacked notes, books and clothes while you rest the tired mind.
