I applied through NUS, its a pretty straightforward process. They usually require you to fill in application form and cover letter like how you would normally apply for an internship. Following, you will be shortlisted for an interview with the International Relations Office (IRO) to assess your suitability, pretty casual interview - they just want to know why you apply for this, how will it help you in your future career prospects, how is it fitting of your interests, how your existing skills can help the organisation. The staff who interviewed me was friendly, and also gave tips for us on how to improve your resume and interview.

Okay moving on, FCC got in touch with me shortly - it's pretty rush, i got interviewed in Nov and was set to fly in Dec. It was a skype interview on the Saturday morning, pretty fast too (around 15 mins). I asked her more questions than she asked me haha. At that point in time i was really concerned about my own safety, and from the interview i felt reassured. Haha, I have very mix feelings even till now! Sometimes i over-worry, about being alone, about the costs (its 150USD/week for accoms, including meals), and whether it'll all be worth it. Like u seriously wonder about why you're spending such a huge sum to teach english in a developing country. But then again, you can always earn back the money right? And it's not like i'm going to spend alot, this is my first time!

But this is what i do believe in:

There will definitely be alot of room for self-growth. It's gonna be my first time away from home alone, seems exciting haha. I look forward to meeting new people, learning about Cambodian culture in this 5 week stint. (Although the monetary issues always nagging at the back of my head, i'm swinging back and forth my decisions.) I want to prepare myself and find out what i wanna do in my life so this could possibly help me figure out? I hope LOL.

My parents doubted my ability at first so it really made me question myself if i can do it. It make me wanna conquer that doubt LOL. Where did the super passionate ame go!! That time when i was doing SOCIP, i felt so driven~ like never before. But i also burnt out towards the end. And people come and go and i realised i depended on them more than i thought. Life's like this haha. So it felt like i lost a part of me in that period. I guess this is a great chance for me to pick myself back up again!
