Did I just put it as I am considering to go to the interview.
Well...I think NOT.
I've just found their post and read their website.
I am highly DISQUALIFIED le.
Read this:

The selection criteria for the ALW Short-list of Potential Trainers ensures that only the highest calibre applicants move on to the next level of selection process. Candidates must demonstrate:

• Formal teaching qualifications and at least 3 years teaching experience or 5-7 years teaching experience with students 10-17 years of age.

• Evidence of a practical interest and involvement in the arts – drama, singing, painting and visual arts etc.

• Detailed resumes with appropriately qualified referees and evidence of their success and effectiveness as classroom teachers..

• Evidence of knowledge in the areas of educational, developmental and/or cognitive psychology and NLP (desirable but not compulsory).

And please read on~

But this is only the beginning. Short-listed applicants are then put through a rigorous ALW training and assessment process which has been described as leading to: ‘a rediscovery of the joy of learning and a renewed enthusiasm for the craft of teaching.'

This training includes:
• Introductory group workshops, designed to promote and assess the potential trainers' creativity, spontaneity, flexibility of thinking, interpersonal abilities, sense of humour, presence, story-telling techniques and mastery of the use of
educational metaphors, interactive learning style, confidence, passion for teaching, spirituality and, of course their teaching methodology and craft.

• A detailed background check and verification of academic qualifications and references.
• Training in ALW Techniques, Philosophy,
Games, Metaphors and Activities.

• Extensive class-room observation of Senior Trainers.

• Training in ALW Methodology, Training Style, Story-Telling and Presentation Skills.

• Full Accreditation Assessment.

All ALW trainers are seasoned education professionals who have made it through a demanding and exhaustive ten-step selection and training process. All applicants for the position of ALW trainer must be qualified and experienced teachers, but ALW offers positions to less than five percent of all those who apply. This means that you, as the parent of a prospective ALW student, can be assured that they are being trained in the latest ‘cutting-edge' techniques by the best of the best.

I take it as a compliment that they called me!
Now it's not really the case of I'm turning away from the challenge coz I SWORE I did tot of turning up afterall.If not I wouldn't be bother to check up those,right?

But I am not gonna pit myself up the impossibles.I am definitely not that experience yet,and by turning up would be a waste of time for both parties.And further rejections and failures would only make my confidence level dip to sea level.

Well...Lucky I DID check it up.
Am not gonna embarass myself,ya know.
It takes ,if not experiences and the right qualifications, a sparkling personality to fool their eyes and bring it to the next step.

Me..I know it better than anyone else that I am only good at acting when I am prepared.
I blinded the eyes of the seasoned trainer--Mr Barry Tan of Planet Fitness and some other interviewers coz I am prepared.
But..hold it,I am not prepared this time round.

And really,I will not try to be someone who I am NOT obviously.
Sure I am be happy and confident but I am never da bomb,y'see.
Some pple are born to be the stars.
Some are the mere twinkle,like me.
Some are the black skies.

Feels better now~=)
I am so gonna not to pick unknown numbers tml.

Did I hear someone calling me a loser?Or it's just my own voice beneath?
Oh well...If this makes me happy then I am a HAPPY loser,get it nuts?
If I were to trade my happiness for the sake of not being a loser,then I wouldn't quit my job.
Although the after feeling of a scalawag is rather horrible but I am slowly gonna pick myself up.

So with this it brings me back to my solitary journey to Orchard Rd today.
Notice how many times I said "solitary journey"
Hey i like that,how about the name of my blog url den?
-------------------------------------------------------

So I changed to my low bottom blue jeans,with that brown spaghetti top.Put on my big loops(ok not very big la),my dangling braclet.A lil trial with that eyeliner and mascara(not too useful le) and a lil brush.Sets my hair and carry my big red tote bag.
Looks pretty a-ok with 3 checks at the mirror. ^_~
Ta da~I'm off!

It is a slow and long journey to Orchard due to the jam.
Rec a msg from Jason telling me to take care and he's off to work.

Stopped by a young guy who looks really cute.I mean one look can tell that he is just some maybe just graduated from high school?Cute eyes but looks like he needs some help with his pimple face.
But I still think he is really cute.One kinda boyish boy boy that a mum would be delight to see her gal bringing home.
I thought he is asking for a change or something else.
Who knows he is just a model scouter. =
Well..at least he looked so honestly cute so I didnt really had the heart to reject him.
Everyone's making a earning,you see.Maybe all it takes is my number that would get him some commision.;)
Create Talents..an agency at PArkmall.
Hmm..I wonder are all the agencies there coz I remembered some time back,I got approached by one called International Models I,also located there.

So I carried on with my way to the library,wondering why the crowd on a Monday.
There I was stopped by a pretty(and yes..pretty big eye gal.) malay gal.

(-__-!!Jus rec a rather horrible MMS from jason.wat.....-_____-!!Suddenly my world dims...*Go cry*)

I sincerely tot she is asking for directions(again) coz she really look like so.
Who knows she is just another one.I should feel flattered but I wondered how can they,the pretty faces scouters,overlooked my bad skin and dark eye rings that concealor failed to cover?
When I asked what company she is from,she mumbled some words of which I can only make up "Loreal".
She just appeared to be a lil nervous,I have no idea why and how so.Coz it's like I should be the one who is nervous when a pretty gal is talking to me.
I gave the no and I left.
Since I am using Starhub now,I let it serves as an entertainment for callers like them.Heh.

I thought it couldn't be BHI(the lousy agency that is ALWAYS on the search,who even use TCS logo when they did the intro for me)Duh..But it turns up it is!I entertained that Kelly a lil and hang the phone.
If she thinks I am gonna turn up tml,she's nuts!

Went to the library and borrowed some books.
2 chinese novels,one read some donkey time back.
One magazine on health.
One manga.Well..it just so happened to appear right infront of me.
And one eng novel.
Oh yea..And one cooking book on Chinese foods. ;p


I walked ard Taka B1 for a while.
Was looking for my snowman.
This year,my xmas icon is Snowman~~^^

I set my eyes on this mini snowman wreath.
Looks cute!!!

After paying for it,I went to B2 and got the Japanese pancake to fill my stomach a lil.
Grabbed a bottle of Ice Mountain before I left for Watsons.

I accompained Yng did it last time.But still I am at a loss of what to buy and get ready.
It would be alot simpler than her time,but I just bought a few things and it costs! =<

Passed by Charles and Keith.
Made a close shave in slashing my cards there.
Argh..battle of the mind.
Dun laugh,Jason.It is the same when u see jerseys and arsenal related stuff.

My final stop is a S-E-C-R-E-T~^_*

Ok..running outta words to blog.
-_-
So ended a day.
