there are actually a few passages. so you might not necessarily get what sherrie had read. a good way to practice would be to read articles out aloud from the straits times. :)

Once in my 2nd round's group, there was a bigger-sized lady who couldn't find a kebaya top that she could fit in. So what the recruiters did was to get her to wear her own top underneath the kebaya, which was only able to be zipped less than halfway up.
oh dear..zipped halfway..hmmm..and did the girl get throught the next round?

Abercrombie is right! The union guys will appear in the midst of your lessons and have a talk with u, which can be rather entertaining.

okayy
my height is 159cm.
but I fear that if they measure my height as 157, HOW!?
seems liek they always measure shorter than our usual height...

if they measure below 158cm, we can't even go for the interview right?

Oh my.. I hope her hips are not too wide.. else it'll be difficult to get past btw the seats and carts.

I'm really not ready! I don't want to go there feeling I have 0% chance. :?

Hmm... Four years ago, I shared the same feeling as you too. They invited me for an interview. When I was there, I had 0% confidence. Then, I simply turn my back and returned home without even trying the interview.
