Interview with a Quantity Surveyor.

So yesterday my group and I headed into KL, in order to meet up with a quantity surveyor that we've set up an interview session with. It was for an assignment. OF COURSE.



Why else would I be wearing my college shirt and walk around KL, during my mid-semester break summore. Oh, I love my college shirt (coz you'd never truly understand UGLY shirts until you've seen and wore SEMASHUR's outing shirts. Uh huh), but its not something I'd prefer to be wearing... unless I really have to.

I reached campus around noon, where I proceeded with playing three rounds of Monopoly Deal with three other groupmates. Honestly, we were not fully prepared for the interview, but WTF IDK why all of us were like 'Blah whateverrrr'.

Whatever whatever lah kau. Markah sikit jangan nak complain ye Wowo. Dahla archisculpture kau tu paling-paling pun kau dapat C. HMF.

Okay back to the interview: I followed behind a friend's car... and it felt refreshing. LOL. Just because I hadn't been following another car's a** for some time. I'm quite easy to please, as you can see. Following a car also boleh make me giddy. 


The two people who has grown accustomed to my driving. LOL. They compare my driving to roller coasters. I'm still trying to figure out whether thats a bad thing, or a good thing. Something tells me that its bad, but HEY I happen to loveeeee roller coasters. 


Shermayn.


Pei Zhen.


Yours truly. Driving more cautiously every day. SERIOUS. 

I mean, I can't expect to be so lucky all the freakin' time. One of these days, I will receive consequences for my langsi-ness. So, yea. Not taking a chance.

Oh BTW, I didn't take the photos WHILST driving. We had to stop so that the men in the other car could figure out the way. 

So it took us almost an hour to find the place. We even went around in circle around the same place for about... three times. But luckily we found it just in time for our appointment.



The interview (BAD camera placement, I KNOW):



A tour of the office:




Psychos.


The man in charge. He was actually responsible for the bills of quantities of Dataran Lang in Langkawi Island.


Being diligent by asking inane questions.



IDK how we acquired the time to snap around silly photos (in a workplace) like this. -____-


Old shirt.


New shirt.



Playing around summore. -____-


Iqwan. Fellow 20 year old. HUZZAH!


Being a brat.



This looks more like a band photo than anything else. WHY ON EARTH was I leaning like that. WTF suka hati je OK.


OK nah. Something a bit more formal. I guess.

In summary, our interview went great. We predicted it to end in an hour (I wanted it to end in less than that -- LOL -- coz another group's interview lasted a mere 30 minutes), but I think we spent about two hours in that office, instead. 

And the funny thing is, I think we didn't even get to ask the man more than ten questions or so. His answers to each of the question we asked was... needless to say; Long and very detailed.

Which usually would've make for a boring interview session, but he was indeed very nice and very cool. He made jokes, we laughed. He asked if we had girlfriends / boyfriends; None of us do. I think. He asked me whether I had a boyfriend, and I said no.

It then resulted in this tiny moment of awkwardness where a 50+ year old man doesn't believe that I don't have a boyfriend, and asked me why, and I don't even know WHY myself, which was why I went ahead and said:

"I'm very picky."

Not even a lie, honestly. I am. 

The downside of it all was when my sister's Canon S95 died halfway throughout the interview, which I predicted. -____- But whatever. We got about an hour of footage, to make a 7-minute video. So I'm pretty sure we're good.

Proof that we're all oh-so-very oblivious and well, a bit ignorant is when we realized the submission date is next Tuesday. NOT Friday. LOL WTF OK. Thank god we checked, coz if not we were planning to edit the videos and finish the 10 page report on Tuesday. WTF WTF we could've failed the whole assignment. 

Which is why I'm going to spend (what looks like) my WHOLE Sunday in campus tomorrow. HURRAH. Can't even tell you how enthused I am right about now. WEEE. Am being sarcastic, obviously.


-------------------

On a completely different note: I came across a few photos of Mister (was bored, so I basically went over every possible person's Facebook photo albums), and well. As much as I'd like to say that I don't have an ounce of feeling for him anymore: I actually do.

Albeit VERY LITTLE and... pretty insignificant, but the feeling is still there. He was never my boyfriend, but I was more emotionally involved with him than I ever was with my one and only ex. We didn't do much. Didn't even say much. Didn't even see each other that often.

But I did like him like him. Quite a lot. Which is why I came up with the conclusion that, no matter what, he'd always occupy that tiny little space in my mind and heart. UNTIL I find a person to replace him altogether.

So far; I've no luck. But I am in contact with one or two men, whom are able to (so far) hold my interest. But thats the thing about all the other guys that came after Mister: No one was really ever capable to keep me interested. At one point their text messages and their calls just bore me. And even worse: annoy me.

But I believe that the right person WILL eventually come along. 

And plus, Mister found his. (I'm more than glad he did, HONEST. I'm not one to wish something bad to happen to another's relationship) So... its only fair if I find mine. 



BTW, just so you know, if you're a beginner in the field of video editing, don't be so confident and start off with using Final Cut Pro:


Coz Final Cut Pro's a b*tch.
