JPA interview

Sorry for the long silence. Wow, it's been a really long time since I last updated this blog. Well, for a start, let me tell you what I've been through for the past few weeks.

After the SPM results were out on the 12th of March 09 (in which I am satisfied with my results; but still, I won't reveal what I got, LOL), I'd been busy filling up application forms online for every scholarship available. That included Sime Darby, PETRONAS, JPA, TNB, and UEM (I can't remember the rest). Yea, I didn't apply for those 'high-standard' scholarships eg. Yayasan Khazanah, BNM etc. because I'm not eligible. And after few weeks, scholarships' interviewee results were released. I got rejected by Sime Darby and TNB. Frankly speaking, I was not that frustrated because I am aware that the competitions are really tough. But hey, I got JPA and PETRONAS!

My JPA interview was on the 13th of March 09. As other normal applicants will do, I'd made some preparations for the interview. And the day came. My interview was held at the Putrajaya International Convention Centre (PICC). My parents took me to the PICC in the afternoon as my interview was scheduled at 2.45 pm. Man, the scenery, the building, is so beautiful, I tell ya. When we arrived, I went to the counter and signed my name on the namelist. I noticed that I would be interviewed in Panel 9 and that my name was the last in sequence. That means I was the last to be interviewed in my group (5 person per group). What was more surprising was that I was the ONLY Malay in my group. Read that, the ONLY!

Then, I went straight to Panel 9. There I met my groupmates. I can't recall their names. Sorry :p . Since we were the second group to be interviewed, we chatted outside the room, getting to know each other. Most importantly, each weaknesses. LOL. But, while standing. Haha. Yea, there were sofas but we just stood there. There was this one girl named Reynu (read Indian). She was so talkative. Yes, she was the one started the ice-breaking session. Other two were Chinese. Then, a Malay boy came to us and join us. Whew, thank God I had another Malay in my group. Oh yea, we were the noisiest there. Chatting, laughing.

Then it was our turn. I started to feel nervous again. As I stepped into the room, I saw two gentleman in black suits smiling at us. Seriously, I thought I would be seeing strict-looking faces. But it turned out otherwise. We took our seats. Then, we were asked to give a brief introduction about ourselves either in English or Malay, one by one. Yup, this was the time to brag about yourself. Haha.

Next, we were given a topic about 'Patriotism'. They gave us about 2 mins to think about the ideas of how to project our patriotism to Malaysia. And yes, no discussion allowed. We were required to present our points in Malay. Next came the second topic. This time was in English. A topic about 'Mat Rempit'. How to prevent this problem from aggravating. Then, that's it. The interview was over. Before we stepped out of the room, the interviewers wished us luck. Seriously, I tell ya, the interviewers were really friendly. And I had a very pleasing and smooth interview. It was like I wasn't being interviewed in the 'interview' format, but more like a regular chat. Now, I can only pray that I will get the scholarship.

14 Feb

I've just visited Kaklong Dina's blog. Yup, I love her blog because she always updates her blog. Not like me anyways.

Hahah,

And I got this latest news from her - Abg Firdaus got DISTINCTION for his SECOND CLASS EXAMS! Can you believe it? Wow, he must've worked real hard for this. Anyways, congratulations Abg Firdaus!



HATS OFF TO YOU! I hope my SPM results will be just like Abg Firdaus'. I hope I'll pass with flying colours.



Last Saturday I'd gone out with other Valourians, only those who reside in KL. Yea, we had a great time together.



As usual, as soon as I saw them [I was the first to arrive at the KLCC and had to wait for nearly half an hour!], I rushed to them, and just imagine. I couldn't stop myself from talking about Shah Rukh!



Only then we talked about each latest happenings in life.




There were eight of us that day. - Me, Farz, Saps, Nurina, Banks, Miza, Mira, and Hyatt.




Well, there were Shayla and Shera too, but they'd got to work. So, we decided to meet Shayla first before she got to work. Sharp at 1.15 pm, we sent her back to her workplace.



Then, we went for the movie 'Eden Lake'. In which it was a horrible and terrible movie, I tell ya! Well, this is my opinion only. From the poster, we thought it might be a horror, spooky ghost story but we were wrong. Totally wrong. It was horror
but in terms of, killing.



This movie was about a couple who had a vacation in the forest. They went to the Eden's Lake to have a picnic and slept there for a night. There they met a bunch of 12-year-old bad naughty kids who were supposedly having their own kind of 'vacation'. Then these kids disturbed the couple by stealing their belongings and even their car keys. The movie progressed by the kids trying to get back at the couple for messing around with them and they even had attempted to kill the couple. Seriously, I regretted so much for watching this movie.



I should've listened to myself. I should've rather watched 'Slumdog Millionaires' which is the movie of my taste. Bollywood movie, you see.



And yes, I'm not the only regretting it.



Then, we had our lunch with Shera who was on break at the time. After that, we went for a stroll outside the KLCC and finally went to Wangsa Maju to visit Syaf who was working at the JJ.



Pity her, as we were about to leave, her manager saw us and she was caught red-handed. She told everyone in MySpace she was lectured after that by that fierce woman who looked like a lioness. Haha, that was what she said.



Credits to Farz and Syaf for being the organisers for this.



And yes, we're also planning for the next outing, perhaps to - Genting!



Just wait guys. We will keep you informed of the latest news buzzing around.



Gotta go, I've got driving lesson tomorrow. Why does the instructor always comes early in the morning to pick me up? Urghhhh!
