On your mark..Get set..Mugging!
Sleeeepyyy! Started mugging in library since Thursday. Actually found it quite nice to take a stroll back to hall alone at night, after mugging hard in library. Listening to my mp3, enjoying the breeze (cos NTU's built on hills), gazing far to see lights from cosy HDB flats and industrial areas lighting up the night sky. There's always a time to enjoy solitude.
Seems like my energy has all been drained by my FYP. So tired everyday. Every morning, it'll be a struggle to pull myself away from bed. The feeling of "Aargh! Another day nearer to the exams...quick quick, go mugging!" It's time that I can't afford to lose now. It's going to be another few weekends in my lonely little room in hall.
Went for a recruitment talk by Schlumberger today. Sounds not too bad as a company to start off a career in mechanical engineering. But..they refuse to say what's the range of salary they're going to offer for fresh graduates. What's the secrecy man?! If I'm not going to know what my pay is gonna be like when I start work, why would I even apply? What if I waste my time going through rounds of interviews and in the end, the remunerations aren't up to my expectations, wouldn't I be wasting my time all this while? Well well... And to make things worse, they have to hold their 1st round of interview to the final round through the whole period of my exams!!! Their timing was perfect lah..start interview on 10th or 12th of April (when my first paper's on the 12th) and the final day's 5th May (my last day of exams is 4th May)! Well done Schlumberger! *Applause. They should go buy Toto/4D. Sure strike.* What a timing! Looks like I've gotta give this one a miss. *Can you imagine getting through all the interviews - if I can - but fail modules for this final semester? DISASTER!* They could seriously be more empathetic to our situation.
