Since the interview was at 11 am, I left the house at around 9:50 am, since I thought that it would take me at least an hour to reach Funan by bus. Before leaving I checked the bus info and I saw that the next bus that will take me to Funan will reach that bus stop at around 12 minutes, so I took my own sweet time and left the house. At the bus stop, when I checked the timings again, I saw that the next bus will arrive in 10 minutes (oh well :\). I had no choice but to wait for the next bus, while waiting, I was listening to some of my favourite Korean songs. 2 minutes later a bus with a different number arrived at the bus stop, without thinking, I just boarded and I went to ask the bus driver if the bus actually passes by the place which I needed to go. He replied with a 'yes' so I tapped my card and headed upstairs. Felt pretty anxious because I never taken that route via bus before, so I was hoping that the bus driver could drive faster so that I would reach the place on time.
To my surprise, I reached the place about 20 minutes early. I didn't feel that nervous, made my way up to the company, saw the familiar intern at the counter talking to another customer. I waved to her and sat down since she was still talking to the customer. After the customer left, I asked where my former colleague was, then she replied that the colleague went back to the Philippines, my former manager also returned to the Philippines to be hospitalized because of some growth on his thyroid. The lady boss came out after a while since she needed to pass me some application form. While filling it in, I chatted with the intern about school stuff. Turns out she aced modules like programming and programmable logic control applications, while getting high credit for engineering math and a few other modules, pretty much smarter and more hardworking than me I guess? :) Minutes later the boss called me into his office to conduct the interview, me obviously didn't prepare anything to say, so I just followed him inside his office while feeling nervous.
The first question he asked me was that why I wanted to work in that company of his. So I replied that while working as a receptionist for my internship at his company, I saw that every time a customer collected back his / her laptop, there will always be a sense of relief on their faces as they know that now their laptops are repaired, they can use it as per normal once more. I wanted everyone if not most them to leave with their repaired laptops with the relieved look on their faces, which was the reason why I came back there to work. Another reason which I did not tell the boss was that the company that my dad wanted me to work at, had no more vacancies. The boss then told me about the working days, but in the end I told him that I wanted to work part time instead of the full 6 days. We then negotiated the pay and work days properly, shook hands and bade each other goodbye. My first working day will start next Wednesday, until then I will just enjoy whatever time I have before I start work :D
Bought Texas Chicken because I wanted to satisfy my cravings today and coincidentally the MRT station which I alighted while on the way home, had an outlet (:P) Here's a picture! :D (Looks delicious, doesn't it? :P)

Watched some anime while eating and stoned in my bed room listening to some music and ate dinner a few hours later.
*Update: It's currently 10 pm, and I guess I will play some games before I go to sleep*
