I forgot my I/C and screwed up my interview

Today started off fine.....studied a bit for my SPA mock for Chemistry in the train but ended up falling asleep with Beiying.....we were like two fools sleeping in the train so early in the morning.....
Anyway....I ended school at 2.50 and was about to go down to MOE for the interview with Sharon, Petrina and John when I realised that I had forgotten to bring my I/C.....it was stated on the paper that no student pass was allowed....only our I/Cs.....so I started to panic like mad....and we had to reach the place at like 3.45.......then I called my mum to see if my dad could bring down my i/c and at the same time fetch us there but well...he had already gone out....so my mum told me to take a cab home and she would wait for me downstairs with my i/c and cab fare......
Yeah.....so Sharon came along with me while John waited for Petrina as she had to do something first.....
In the cab I was panicking and so worried that we would be late.....and both of us were also like discussing what we should say during the interview......
So the poor cab driver had go all the way to my home and then to MOE Building.....hehe.....
So anyway we reached the place on time.....then the lady there asked us to surrender EITHER OUR I/Cs OR STUDENT PASS in exchange for the visitors pass.......I was like so stunned......and speechless.....to think I actually rushed home to get my i/c when actually student pass was allowed ....I was so pissed.....and the cab fare wasn't cheap....imagine from school to my home then to MOE Building....do the Maths and u will noe....
It was so infuriating.....but wells.....couldn't do anything about it........
Anyway....Sharon panicked while in the waiting room which was like almost flooded with Saints......but we laughed quite a bit.....coz John was so funny....
After John came out from his interviewed.....he was complaining he screwed it up and talked lots of crap about stem cells.........this didn't help.......
So when it was my turn....

The Interviewer: So what do u know about IMCB??????

Me: uh.....it stands for Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology. (like duh....but I had no idea what to say at all)

The Interviewer: (laughing) I also know that....I even know that it was founded in xxxx ( I fogot what year he said..haha)....ur friend just now told me that. So I mean....what do u know about the focus of IMCB?????

Me: Oh....they focus on Apoptosis, Cell structure and Function and Infectious Diseases....etc.... (I just memorised those few in the cab...phew!!!!!)

The Interviewer: So what do you know about Apoptosis??????

Me: Oh...its the self-destroyal of the cells.....(Sharon just told me that in the cab too!!!!...hehe)

The Interviewer: Do you think that is a natural process????? Why do you think the cells would want to do that????? I have no Biology background you know?????....Maybe you could tell me more about it....

Me: (stunned....yet again....I know nuts about it) uh....yeah....I suppose its a natural process and I think it occurs for the benefit of the entire human body system.

So that was how I screwed up my interview.....sigh...I don't expect to be selected anyway.........
And yeah......John says if he gets selected he would treat us to Marche or sth........haha.....

After the interview Sharon and I went to Tiong Bahru to grab a quick bite as we were famished........before coming home........
