ARCHITOURS INTERVIEW

Hello everybody! I'm back for a quick update about what's going on in my life. Asher forced me to update, so yeah here I am doing so at his request...or else I would never have bothered updating in here at all until the semester break comes around.

Anyway, I have been busy with my project and submissions, and also presentations and tests. Being in polytechnic isn't all about fun and games, really - there are periods whereby you need to get down to serious business that will affect your GPA aka your future! So far everything has been going along fine, albeit some discrepancies here and there. 

Oh yes, did I mention that I signed up for being a docent as part of Architours? Well, let me tell you more about it! Every year, Singapore holds an annual architectural event called Archifest, and part of the event is having tours to selected places in Singapore. This is also known as Architours! This year, I received an email from one of my lecturers who happened to forward an email from NUS TAS (The Architectural Society). The email stated that it was searching for docents to help out with the event, and an interview would be held for anyone who was interested. As I've always wanted to try out new things, I thought that perhaps joining this event could broaden my knowledge about local architecture, and also how to communicate well with different types of people. So yes, I signed up for the interview along with some other schoolmates and students from other institutions, and attended it last Saturday! It was a group interview, o h m y g o s h. I nearly died from nervousness while answering questions from TAS! However, it went pretty well too. The interviewers were warm and friendly, and the questions that they asked were manageable. We took turns answering the questions, so it didn't feel much like a competition to see who answered first at all. It felt like a heart to heart conversation session ( no kidding!). You might think that 20mins for an interview is a long time,but truth be told, it's not! With all that's going on during the interview, time passes by really quickly. 

Well, I really hope that I could be part of the prestigious group of docents to take part in Archifest 2015! If I do get selected, it would be one of my happiest moments in my life! Not only do I get to help out, I also gain experience doing this kind of stuff and learn new things along the way! :)

To end off, here's a note to Asher: I hope you're satisfied with this blog post. I tried to make it as long as possible for you to read okayyy, so don't complain! Haha <3 *virtual hugs* P.S to anyone who's reading my blog, thank you for your support I do appreciate your tolerance level of putting up with my nonsense huehue xo
