My favourite song


Viva La Vida

I used to rule~~ the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep~~ alone
Sweep the streets I used to owned~~

I used to roll~~~ the dice
Feel the fear in the enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd~~ would sing
Now the old king is dead, long live the king

One minute I held~~ the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my cas~~tle stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman cavalry choirs singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missiona~~ries in a foreign field

For some reasons I can't explain
Once you go there was never
Never an ho~~nest word
That was when I ruled the world

It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't belive what I'd become

Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Who would ever want to be king


I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing ...

***repeat same lyrics till the end***

A-Level Scholarship Interview


Last Saturday, I didn't go to school, instead, I went to Sunway College for an interview. Well, it was an A-Level Scholarship interview, I woke up at 8 o'clock and my dad's driver came to fetch me at about 9 o'clock. It was a saturday morning, not many vehicles were travelling along the highway, therefore, I managed to reach Sunway College at half past nine.

When I stepped out of my Dad's CR-V, I saw plenty of participants waiting in the "lobby". I went to the reception and registered, then, the receptionist handed me a blue bag printed with the words "Sunway University College". Later on, I saw some of my ex-school mates who were also participants of the interview. I also met my friend Jin Teng in the canteen.

At 10 o'clock sharp, we were brought to an auditorium. More than a hundred people including interview participants, parents and employees of Sunway College could be seen in the auditorium. Some were chit-chatting with one another, others were having some light refreshments provided by Sunway College. Jin Teng and I were given some pre-interview forms by the employees, we filled them up and handed them in. Then, we sat down and waited for our names to be called by the announcer.

Jin Teng's name was called first, she was then led by a Sunway College employee to the interview room. About 20 minutes later, my name was also called. A male employee brought me to a room beside the auditorium. I had waited for another 20 minutes before I was informed to enter the room to begin my interview. The moment I stood up from the chair, I told myself to relax and stay calm in my mind. I knocked softly on the door, twisted the door knob and entered the room.

Before me stood a middle-age chinese lady, I greeted her and then I sat down. I tried my best to stay calm. Relax, just be yourself, I said to myself. The interviewer asked me to introduce myself to her. After that, she also asked me some other questions about my family, my ambition and so on. I answered all of her questions without much problems. In the end of the interview, she gave me some positive comments and praised me for speaking good English despite the fact that I am a Chinese school student.

After the interview, I went back to the auditorium and chatted with Jin Teng for a while. At about 12 o'clock noon, my dad's driver came to pick me up and then I returned home.
