The MIT Interview and other things
Was interviewed today by Mr William Lau who is working with the DSTA (or was it the Ministry of Defence?) Anyway we had a good chat and he ask me things which I was familiar with. The main purpose of the interview was to help me to differentiate myself from all the other applicants who are presumed to have great academic qualifications (myself not included). So anyway it was a no stress interview. Expected those classic questions such as “What are your weaknesses?” but they never came. So, essentially, I did not prepare at all for this interview other than fooling around the MIT website and thinking through the question “Why do you want to go to MIT to study?”
I told him about Sunday’s marathon, my Prefect Experience, my YMCA Youth For Causes venture, and we veered of to politics and business (since I told him that the reason I wanted to go to MIT was to learn innovation at its very best as my goal was to establish a start-up that puts innovation at the forefront)
On my way back Zhong Liang invited me to go ‘makan’ the (Malaysian) Penang Char Kway Teow in near Aljunied MRT and after that we simply had a good time spending the whole afternoon at Sim Lim Square shopping for stuff. I bought a wireless router for my Malaysian house use (SGD 55) and also a game called Call of Duty plus its expansion United Offensive (SGD 57) to help me kill the boredom after the exams.
And I think tomorrow we will go ‘makan’ again at Botak Jones near Clementi. I heard the food is good there. =)
My last days in Singapore.
