two weeks awae from breathing the first lungful of indian air.
woo. i've finally got my future 11 wks figured out,
finally being pointed in the right direction,
at least 2 wks of directions are being provided
how has things turned out in this way?
life sure has some surprises hidden in the corner of somewhere.
1. firstly, my motive - to check out the world, to have fun, to be outta spore since we'll be working anyway, might as well work outside spore (working in local soil doesn realli appeal yea), treat it as a holiday as the attachment is onli 11 wks. did i mention that the fees where quite reasonable compared to those of france, negocia, nice or germany? a whopping 11k compared to a mere 2k? lol, i'll still be paid there. haha! rumoured to be 7500 rupees
2. followed the structure, sent the resume and wrote up a write up for "why should i be chosen for oipp". testing our crapping skills eh? everyone's just wanna have hell lotta fun right. the worst case would be those nerds thinking of a better resume having overseas attachment in it. lucky it was only 300 words. for those who dunno about wat i wrote, i simply imagined a limitless future. with setting up business ar, dun see myself in the country in future ar, too much crap, either an idiot or....
3. the interview. i even corrected my judge's view. heres how it went.
he asked "if u were to go to india, where would u wanna go?"
i said "dehli or bombay"(cos its the only freeking place i know about india, other den the pratas and coconut tree dances) i followed it up with stuffs like more modern- more spore like.
heres the main part
he asked "wouldnt u rather set up ur resturant in poorer or less modern cities as there is huge competition with established brands and reknowned companies?"
answered"i think thats a lack of confidence, if i were to make it out in a big city, im sure i can do it well, or even better in the rural areas"
other judges started to chip in about the analogy of big fish in small river and small fish in big sea.
4. tts it. one moment of daringness or foolishness, im in. i wonder how they judged too. jus an interview, not much about independence, attitute, character, so on.....
5. after months of waiting, i finally got details. im going to chennai, together with jia rui. both of us being attached to taj coromandel hotel. its a five star hotel eh. but we have individual projects for us to do. btw, mine is "costing based model on banquet in terms of profitability" woo. wats tt. haha
6. im leaving on the 30th, farewell my beloved friends. for some, i cant wait for good bye, but for those close to the soul, its cya.
