Finally....holiday....

Hooray~~~holiday is finally here.

I sound like never had one before....hahaha.....this show that i am really suffering in form 6.

Anyway, i am going to take a break from all of this suffering. No more lessons, no more hot weather....

Tomorrow morning i will be leaving for Genting at 7.30a.m. I just have to admit that the time is kind of early. I need to get up more early compared to normal schooling days. However, all of this is worth it. I just can't wait to get cooler. Hope that this camp will not be an ordinary camp that i used to go. Bon voyage!!!

By the way, i watched Angels and Demons today. It was really a good movie. It was very exciting and interesting.

Where are my hopes???

Now my dreams are totally crush...no direction, no help, no, nothing.

Just when all of us think that as long we stay in school, there won't be a reason for them to chase us out of our school. However, everything just doesn't seems to go on that smoothly.

One teacher came in during MUET just before i was about to fall asleep.

Teacher: Semua murid bukan digalak tetapi dipaksa untuk pindah sekolah.
Me: =o=...

Teacher: Sila isi borang ini.
Me: ...

Oh man....that was really really really bad news!

The Worst New Ever In School

This was one of the worst news i ever heard.

Today, i went to school so happily, my mood was like "YIPPEE"! However, after hearing this news from our GPK ( Guru Penolong Kanan), my mood immediately changed to "OH NO"!

This was what she said,

GPK: Pihak sekelah telah menerima arahan tentang para pelajar 6.2B diminta untuk tukar sekolah.
Me: What?!

GPK: Oleh itu, tingkatan 6.2B akan ditutup.
Me: DITUTUP????? OH COME ON~~~

GPK: Semua murid lelaki diminta untuk tukar ke SMK Munshi Sulaiman manakala perempuan diminta untuk pindah ke TIGS.
Me: PINDAH? TIGS? ARE U JOKING? PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO GET OUT AND YOU WANT US TO GO IN??

GPK: Sebabnya, sekolah-sekolah tersebut punya pelajar agak kurang.
Me: SO? NOTHING TO DO WITH US WHAT???

GPK: SMK Dato' Bentara Luar hanya akan ada sebuah kelas sains.
Me: SATU???

GPK: 6.2B akan digabung dengan 6.1B.
Me: GABUNG??? SO MANY PEOPLE IN ONE CLASS???

Oh right....that was bad~~~

Everybody was talking about that issue for a few minutes until my form teacher came in. She told us that we really need to fight, in order to stay. We carried on with our lesson.

THE SCHOOL HAS NO RIGHTS TO CHASE US OUT OF THE SCHOOL. WHAT KIND OF SCHOOL IS THIS? DIDN'T EVEN CARE ABOUT US STUDENTS...

My new shoes~~~

Just came back~~~

Finally, brought my walking shoes. I still remember that my old shoes spoiled last year when i was in
Mersing. Only until today i went to brought a new pair. Quite satisfy with it, looks great and fits my foot comfortably. Hope that i would take good care of it. But i think it will be quite hard for me to keep it clean and new, after i begin to wear it, as i am a very lazy person. I just can't imagine that i would need to wipe my shoe every time. Every time after wearing it. I think I'll only do it for the first few times, definitely less than 10 times, maybe not more than 5 times. The lady boss says that they could keep their shoes sparkly clean and new for at least half year without washing it. Anyway, i am glad that at least i brought my shoe before i went for my holidays, or else i think i might suffer after a long distance of walk.

This is my shoe taken from different angle...

Just updated~~~

I just updated my music for my blog.....

These are the two of the songs that i love, sung by Kris Allen during the competition. He did a great job on the arrangement for both songs.

Ain't no sunshine sung during the finale and heartless sung during the final 3.

Enjoy~~~

What should i do?

I'm really lost....

Time indeed flies. I felt that a minute ago, i was still enjoying my holidays but now i just felt that everything around me makes me so nervous and worried.

Sometimes i really wonder did i really make the right choice for not appealing matrix. Because i am told that i really stand a good chances of getting the offer to get in. If i were to compare it with form 6 it is definitely much relaxing, easy and a higher possibility to get into local university. Of course, i also know the pro and cons of both education direction. But it is really hard.

After starting studying form 6, i wonder should i stay put to my ambition or should i just change it. Dentistry or pharmacy are two difficult course to study. It is hard to get into those disciplines in university. I start to have all sort of questions in my brain. I just don't know what i should do? Study hard? Of course i should. Anyway, i am just so stress out by all of these form 6 studies. How i wish that i don't need to take that Pengajian Am paper. I don't mind studying those difficult and confusing chemistry, biology and of course, add maths. I really had no idea how am i going to get 4 flats with that Pengajian Am as one of the subject. My BM was really not up to that standard, having an A2 in SPM was already a blessing. But i really don't dare to think what will happen if i failed to get 4 flats. High expectations normally leads to bigger disappointment. I had already failed once in my SPM and i don't wish to repeat it to face my biggest fear. If i don't need to take that Pengajian Am paper i would definitely take up physic, as it will provide me with more options in future. But it is so hard for me.

I just don't know what is holding me back.

All i could do now is to pray hard for everything.

About the result of American Idol 2009


Yeah~~~Kris Allen was the winner for this year American Idol.

Although everybody thinks that Adam Lambert would win but who knows that the winner would be Kris. Kris was indeed the dark horse from the beginning of the show said by Kara. However i think that he got what it takes to win and the result proves that i am right.

I think that the reason Kris won is because of his talents and also his personality. I think his singing techniques may be not as good as Adam but his talents such as playing the guitar and piano has definitely won lots of people's attentions. But for me, i think that his singing style was way better than Adam's as i don't really like Adam's way of singing. Obviously, both of their singing style and skills were different from each other. Kris' singing style was not that much of screaming compared to Adam's and that's the part i hated the most about Adam. But maybe to other people that was heavenly music but for me it is definitely not but a torture to heard him scream like mad. Of course there maybe other reasons why Kris won. But i don't think i would want to mention it here....haha...maybe scare that i would kena report by Adam's fans. It is not that i would like to criticize him but it is due to my own personal principals that i think there are other reasons why he shouldn't win. Anyway lets just drop that topic.

Talking about yesterday's result show, i just can't believe it, that i finish watching till the end as i still have to attend school tomorrow. Nevertheless, i still managed to wake up on time this morning. The whole show was GREAT!!! Of course it is not because that Kris won as i had already knew the result in the afternoon. The whole show was full of surprises, Kara actually buka her dress at the end of her singing. WOW...that's was hot. Hope that she doesn't regret after doing so on national television. Then, there was also a couple of insane people going on stage to get some rewards. Such as the most outstanding male and female. I really wonder why on earth would there be such a person who really want to be famous by doing all sorts of embarrassing things on national television. Not to forget the part i hated the most, which is, Adam singing with those freaks, name Kiss or Kris or something like that. Please pardon me for calling them freaks. Because if you were in my shoes you will also think in that way. Not to mention that song, the costume, the action (sticking out of the tongue and the spanking the guitar on the floor). Oh man....it was a *speechless* performance as i had no better words to describe it. The Adam singing part was overall not bad but i have totally no idea why would they invite those freaks to the show. Maybe they are quite famous bah....just that their music are not the categories of music i would ever listen in my whole lifetime. Not to forget the Jason Mraz performance, it was great. But i think that the vocal part of those two contestant and his voice doesn't really harmonize. But when the other contestant comes in, the whole song was quite perfect. The show was really entertaining and interesting...

I think that the theme of song choice during the final four was kind of unfair as it really gives Adam and Alison the advantage. They were the rock type while Kris and Danny was on the sentimental side. However, American still vote for their favorite.

I think Kris himself also doesn't expect that he will win the competition, but i truly believe that his first album will be a really cool album.

Teacher's Day~~~2009

I can't believe it, i actually attended our school's Teacher's day celebration. Because since form 3 onwards i never attended any of these events as i think that they were boring and indeed they are.

Duh~~~i almost fall asleep today in school. I really regretted for going to school this morning. The event started off with a speech given by our new penolong kanan and then followed by our "beloved" headmaster. I have no idea how long they took to speak. After that, they started giving out some prizes to the teachers but i have totally no clue what were those prizes for as i was using my headphone to listen some music just to kill my time. The weather was overall okay. We sat outside the hall for the session before our recess. We changed our place to the side of the hall after the recess. Two of my friends Sook Xian and Pei Wern carried some chairs out for us. It was impressive that two girls could actually carry a stack of chairs.

We continue to waste our time by sending those paliah ring tones from one phone to another. We also took a couple of paliah pictures. That our habit~~~



This is our Lee Mei Xuen....tada....first she was a scandal and then she became Mona Lisa...



This is Miss Karis trying to be the next scandal...LOL~~~

I still remember that one of our teacher sung the song "I'm Yours" by Jason Mraz. The singing was quite okay but the guitar playing of those people really need some improvement as i recommend them to use acoustic guitar to do the accompaniment rather than electric guitar. After that, we went home.

I just wonder why is the Internet speed today so slow?! Is it due to the rain?

What happen YESTERDAY~~~

Let me recall~~~
Just bear with me because i am really sleepy now and can't really think and type that well...LOL~~

I know i am LAME...

Yesterday was Saturday~~~
I woke up in the morning having no feeling of a Saturday morning. I also don't know the definition for the feeling i should have on Saturday morning.

Whatever...after that i do the usual thing before going out for breakfast. I suddenly realize something, my brother aka "DEH LEK" was missing. I was told by my mom that he went to church after my mom saw the note that he left on her door the previous night (he normally does that when he can't tell my mom in person). She said that my brother ask us to fetch him at 9.30 am and that was about the time so we went out.

I thought we could fetch him the moment we reached as we were already quite late but they were still practicing. So its my show time which is driving lesson in church part 2. I have no idea how long that lesson took place. But yesterday morning there were a function in church so there were quite a number of cars around and it makes me nervous. The feeling was kind of scary for people like me whom are lack of reality driving skill to drive in that situation. After that, we went to have our breakfast, i think the time was about 10 plus in the morning.

After returning from the market, i spent my time in front of the computer screen, just like now. In the afternoon, at about 4.30pm Sern Wang called me, telling me that i am his backup for tomorrow ( which is today morning). He told me to go for practice at 5.00pm....seriously i am not in the mood to go out, so i ask him the songs and he told me that i know all of them. This even gave me the reason not to go for practice. Because i was about going to bath at that moment as the weather was really unable to tahan for a few more seconds.

Lets move on to the night session~~~
The Bible study and Matthew's farewell...
I went for the Bible study (bs). It was quite a quiet session compared to the previous sessions. Maybe everybody is tired as it is the beginning of examination week. I can truly understand that kind of feeling. It is the combination of stress and tiredness plus the feeling of giving up or even just wanna to burst in tears or maybe just wanna shout and scream. It depends lah...but the feeling of running away or taking a break from all of these studies will definitely be there. I think i slided track quite a lot.

After the bs, i though of going home but mana tau Kai Ling asked me to join the yumcha session with Matthew. I told her i don't want because it will be kind of awkward for being a "SPOTLIGHT" there. But later i was told that Sern Wang will be going too. Eventually, the whole bs member joined in.

This is Matthew and the roti tissue~~~

This is Gabriel attacking the roti tissue~~My brother also there but due to lightning problem can't see him...

The roti tissue that collapses...borken into two...i think Kai Ling did it....

We went home at about 11 plus...by the way, we walk from Esther house to 808 corner for the yumcha for Matthew's farewell.

Goodbye Matthew, see ya soon....

Walao stress......

I really never felt like this before. This stress thing is worst than the period i am taking my SPM. DUH~~~really suffering lah. I just seem to stress like never before. Believe me this stress is really worst than SPM period. Maybe i am more confident in taking that SPM than studying form 6. Sern Wang actually congrats me for that. This was out conversation in MSN.

Sern Wang: Congrats, praise the Lord!
Melvina: Wat? ( i was wondering why Hui Yee would say so, because he used Hui Yee's MSN)

Sern Wang : Sern Wang here.
Melvina: Wats there to be happy about?

Sern Wang: Because God answered my prayer.
Melvina: LOL!!! ( which means He didn't answer mine lor...T_T)
The End

These were some main point lah...the others i can't remember.

Haih~~~
Just started schooling for less than a week, i already started pontenging for 2 days. Wakakaka~~~XD~~Eh this wasn't my fault okay, because it was really boring lah and the weather was super hot and humid. The place which is the school hall was like sauna. The toilet in my school was worst than those days. Most of the doors were spoiled and all the toilets can't flush! It was really smelly and dirty and yucky. Furthermore, my illness came back which is headache. The doctor says i am going to take antibiotics for a week, then i am going to take a long term medication to control my allergic. Oh.....NO!!!!

I really can't imagine how am i going to survive in that school. How am i going to score an A for my PA paper? Really stress lah~~~God please give the scholarship would You? Because my friend who gets 8A1, 1A2 and 1B3 also got the scholarship.

First day in Form 6...GIVE ME A BREAK!!!

Boring and stupid were the words i could describe my experience on the first day of form 6 in brief. Really very boring lah...i felt so stupid.

I really don't like form 6 as it brings me back to my school again. Is not that i hate my school but after 5 years of studying in that school makes me sick of that school. I mean that with those stupid regulation and rules going on, i think i might not be able to stand it anymore. I just cant imagine how will i spend my days which is a year and a half in that freaking school...oh man...it will be torturing...

Therefore i think i really need to pray hard for my appeal. Hope that God's will is giving me the scholarship. Because i don't want to study till 4.00 pm. I don't want to attend those useless ECA on Saturday. I don't want to have Malay food for my recess. I don't want to study Pengajian Am. I don't to learn with Malays because it is a waste of time. I don't want to wear the " Penguin" school uniform. I don't to be control by those crappy school regulations.I don't want to see there is a probability of getting a B on my STPM result slip. I DON'T WANT!!!

I wonder how many times must i cry over this thing. I am so stress out by this problem. Really feel like going to our Youth camp now and run away from the reality for a while. Just give me a break~~~

Peer Pressure

This was our topic yesterday in YF.
This is
the thing and the problem faced by teenagers now a days. As all of us can see, everybody goes to school, everybody got friends of your age just sitting next beside you and is influencing you everyday, until you don't even notice it or maybe you are the one who is causing this pressure to your friends. From what i have been noticing after these years of studying, i must say that this is the factor that is causing trouble to our society.

What are some peer pressure we faced?
Examples are:
  • Studies ( exam results, project grades)
  • Popularity
  • Branded things
  • BGR
  • Appearance
  • Language
  • Action ( vandalism, gangsterism, cheating...etc.)
  • Fashion
  • Smoking/Drugs
  • Illegal racing ( mat rempit )
  • Self-abusing ( cutting their wrist or tattooing )
  • Cliques
This are just some simple examples that we can see in daily life and some living examples, maybe just the person sitting next to you or even yourself. So it is necessary to handle this problem in a right way.

I wonder why would our peers causing pressure to us? Actually is ourselves that causes this pressure to rise. This is my point of view. Did we ever asked ourselves why we would not want to lose out to our friends? In other words, why is this " Kiasuness" our nature? As Malaysians always say that Singaporeans very "Kiasu". But actually this is just human nature. Every student would want to be the top student in their school if they could. Every employer would want to be the best and stand out from the rest. Every mother would give their children tuition if they think is necessary. So i would conclude that everybody in this world is "Kiasu".

From the talk today, Sern Wang which happens to be our adviser cum speaker of the day categorize peer pressure into two category. The spoken and the unspoken.


Spoken:
  1. Rejection
  2. Put down
  3. Reason
Unspoken:
  1. The look
  2. The example
There are some videos based on peer pressure acted by our members spontaneously.

Put down



Reason



The Look



The Example



Why should we bother the way that people think of us? I admit i am one of those people. That's why i am facing peer pressure too. For the first category which is the rejection i don't have the video because i forgotten to video.So it is very important for us to choose the right friends in school and daily life. For God has said in 1 corinthians 15:33-34.
  • Do not be deceived: " Evil company corrupts good habits." Awake to righteousness, and do not sin; for some do not have the knowledge of God. I speak this to your shame.

Because God does not forsake anybody.

Do not be deceived: " Evil company corrupts good habits." Awake to righteousness, and do not sin; for some do not have the knowledge of God. I speak this to your shame.

Hui Yee and Ee Hsin's birthday...

Actually this was supposed to be posted on yesterday but due to tiredness i wasn't able to type...so i post it today.

Yesterday was my friend Hui Yee and our youth advisor Ee Hsin's birthday. What a coincidence that their birthday fall on the same date. So it also save us some trouble to just celebrate their
birthday once...hehe~~which is also killing two birds at once...erm...maybe i shouldn't compare them as birds, but anyway it just a saying, so it doesn't matter lah...

We pretend to went to Esther house as usual for our bible study without telling Hui Yee and her sister. After me and my brother arrived, they had already arrived and Gabriel and Ling Ching was already there doing Add Maths. So we waited for Kai Ling who is our bible study advisor to arrive
. Only after Kai Ling arrived then Hui Yee and her sister knew we wasn't going to have bible study but going to Ee Hsin's house to celebrate their birthday. So the seven of us squeeze into Kai Ling's car which is a MYVI....can u imagine that...six of them stack themselves at the back and i was the one relaxing in the front....haha~~~XD!

After we had arrived at Ee Hsin's house, we waited outside while Kai Ling phone Ee Hsin's sister. After that, Kai Ling went to fetch Amanda and Evonne who is staying near by while we were still waiting outside the house. After a few minutes, Kai Ling came back and went into the house to get some matches as she forgotten to bring the lighter with her (as usual). After we had lighten up the candles on the cake, we went into the house and we sang a birthday song to Ee Hsin and then once again to Hui Yee. Then, we w
ent into the house.

The first thing i feel was cooling....because her house is fully air conditioned. So much better than my house.






<<<This was the cake which consist of 80% chocolate, 10% of cake and 10% cream and hazelnut.







This was our birthday day girls yesterday night....





<<<Es Hsin

















<<<Hui Yee
























After they had make their wishes and cut the cake, we prayed for them....


After that, we enjoyed the cake....but the cake was kind of too sweet for me, so i keep drinking water.

This was Kai Ling serving the cake.























We also play a game which i don't know what it should be called....maybe like " Your Strong Point Game" or maybe it should be call the " Who has the thickest Skin Of All"...DUH~~~BTW...it was introduced by Kai Ling. The game starts with everybody having 4 coins in their hands. It supposed to be four 20 cents coins but due to the shortage of 20 cents coins, we just play with whatever kinds of coins we got. We even got Hong Kong's 2 dollar coin.
























We need to say o
ne strong points of our own in other to discard a coin and if any other people also share the strong point as you, they also can discard a coin. The first person to finish will be the winner and we will see whoever still own the most coins will be the loser where he or she will be punished to eat that sweet cake. It sounds great huh...but i tell you when you are so sick of eating that cake you would think that it wasn't that good.

These are some pictures during the game and the cake in the middle was our punishment.
















This is one of the decoration on the cake....

We went home at about 10.30pm...

Summary of my life in PLKN for the past one month!

Where should i start? i have totally no clue...it happens within a month and everything changes and occurs so fast...in just a blink and wink of my eyes..

Lets start on the first day, i woke up very early. Because i need to get my things packed, in others words, i actually pack my stuff last minute. =p i skip church tat morning and set off to ayer keroh where my campsite is...i went there by my own transport in which my parents fetched me there. i reached there at about 12 to 1pm. Not very sure because we were very panicked as we though we are lost..wahahaha...so foolish...i checked in there and had my medical report handed up, in which i discovered i did not place my photo on it.

We were then taken to our own respective dorm or i would call it a chalet. Because only a few of us staying in a room or chalet! i was so happy, because there was only chinese and no malays or indian in my room. I am not being raciest but it is really difficult to live with other races as their culture, language and living style were different from us. But later on we were told that we might change rooms. In fact, this becomes my first worry! After that, we went to the logistic to get our clothes and shoes! It was really heavy! We were then asked to go down to the hall to hear a talk from our commander or officer...actually i don't really remember, by the way, the food was overall OK?! Once u get use to it. The bathrooms and toilet was also quite well furnished. That was my first impression on the PLKN campsite in Ayer Keroh, Melaka.

We had a boring and tough week. That was my first week! I really wanted to go home on the third day! Because the dobi which is the person who help us to wash all our clothes provided by the camp is still not here yet! I was really mad and sad! Because i need to wash the clothes all by myself! For someone who do not do any hand washing of clothes at home to wash so many clothes in a day is really a tortured to them! I feel like crying for the very first time when i am away home and mom! Because i also went for many other camps and trips, But i must admit that this is the toughest living camp i ever been to. As i finally realise that how important my mom and advance electronics things is to me! So to those whom are reading this whether you are going to go for PLKN or not you better cherish your mom and the things you are having now before you go!

But after a week, everything was quite ok. In other words, everything seems to turn better than before! Just like what i said to the others, once you get used to it everything will turn good! But a lots of people whom never left their house for a long time outside staying by themselves or with other strangers they still want to go back home! i heard from my friends that a lot of them cried! I admit that for the first time i called back home using the public phone i also cried very badly...[*those who know me in person and you are now reading this please don't tell the others about this*(thanks)]...i cried because i really miss my mom and i regretted i took her for granted when i was at home!

We started most of our activities on the second week! Such as marching training and some other programmes. I can't remember them now because my diary is not with me now, if you want to know more you may come to me in person provided that u know me in reality or you can wait until i finish my PLKN in March, by then i will post my daily diary in the camp on this blog in order to to let you have a clearer picture of what we are having and doing in the camp. Of course some of the things varies in different campsite. Such as the place we sleep, bathrooms and some other facilities! But i can guarantee that the food we are having will be the same everyday!But the taste maybe different! Because different cook mah~~ But i promise that everyday you will get to eat rice, veggie, fruits, chicken or fish or beef and other side dishes. During Saturday and sunday will mostly be free time for the whole day especially sunday. For christian in our camp, they bring us to church every sunday. For buddish, they bring them to tokong during saturday. For hindus, they would also bring them to kuil at Friday evening. But the days depends on the camp you are in.

This is my overall timetable:

  • 0500-0620 Wake up
  • 0620-0630 Line up to go down for morning assembly( PE )
  • 0630-0645 Morning assembly
  • 0645-0730 Morning exercise
  • 0730-0800 Breakfast
  • 0800-0815 Layout kit
  • 0815-0830 Getting ready for class( class uniform )
  • 0830-0900 Wast time outside class (buat bodoh)
  • 0900-1030 Character Building Class
  • 1030-1100 Tea Break
  • 1100-1230 Character Building Class
  • 1230-1330 Lunch
  • 1330-1420 Sleep and get ready for physical activities
  • 1420-1430 Line up in order to reach there in groups *stupid*
  • 1430-1630 Physical activities
  • 1630-1700 Tea Break
  • 1700-1730 Getting ready for riadah
  • 1730-1830 Riadah
  • 1830-2045 Dinner and bath
  • 2100-2230 Briefing session for the next day/ religious class
  • 2245-2300 Roll call
  • 2300 Sleep

The religious class was so boring, until my friend went to join the buddish class...sob~~


JPA's interview experiences in Kluang, intan college!!!

Hmm...~~~it was a wonderful experience indeed!

First of all, i really need to say that this is God's blessing that gave me this chance for this interview!!!

My interview was yesterday, which is 31st of March 2009, at 8 in the morning. The location was Intan college in Kluang.

I woke up at about 6.10 am. I left my house at about 6.45 am. After sending my brother to school, me and my driver who is also my father set off our journey at about 7 am. I really thought that I'll be definitely be late for that interview, but because of the grace of God i manage to reach there just on time and i actually found out that one of the car tyre paunched while we were travelling. My father left me there at the entrance and when up to find the parking lot. I went into the hall and check for my name on the list of names place right next to the door! Just as i had expected our names were arranged according to our birth dates, i saw an Indian guy's name right below me was actually born on the same date as me. After that, i went to the lady whom was in charge to sign my name and to hand up the documents they asked for. My room was panel 2 and my number on the list was 12. As for the attire, for guys, they don't have much choice, normally will be shirt, slacks and a tie will do. As for girls, you can wear baju kurung or office wear but please take note that your skirt must be longer than your knees. There was also girls that wear those air stewardess kind of dress. As for this year, the arrangement of the certs were according to the sequences on the paper printed out, because from past year experiences, some of them were different.

I waited for about 2 hours i guess to get my turn for the interview. There were another 4 people went in with me to the interview room. Which consists of 3 Chinese, 1 Indian and a Malay. Shock? Surprised? Me too. Ya, there were more Chinese than Malay in my group. Maybe it is just according to the sequences on the list. My number was 2. Which means that i would be the second one to speak.

There were three man sitting there! 2 Malay and 1 Indian...which means no Chinese. Anyway it doesn't matters to me! First, we were asked to introduce ourselves. The first girl was so bold enough to ask the interviewers whether she could answer in English where i think they wanted her to answer it in Malay. But i benefits from that too, because the interviewer also questioned me in English and i even confirmed with them whether they really want me to give my introduction in English. After that, when they carried on with the next guy they used Malay. That is why i said it by God's grace!!! Then, they continued to ask us what courses we are applying for. The other 2 Chinese wanted pharmacy, the Indian and Malay were going for medical and as for me of course is dentistry! I think after that they straight away proceed to the group discussion part.

The first question was in English. The tittle is about when we are on our way to the airport, we saw an accident occurred between an motorcyclist and a car. The victim is lying in the middle of the road and he is still bleeding. What will you do? Wow...what a long and lame question! It really puts me to the test men. Because I'm not good in descriptive essays. However, i was still the first to take the initiative to speak. We still managed to gather a few points. I even asked the interviewer to adjust the temperature of the air-con before we started the discussion. As it was really freezing cold inside the room.

The second question was in Malay. The tittle was watching tv for long period of time will lower the creativity and the thinking of a child. Do you agree with that statement? Alright, that is more like it. So, we straight away carried out our discussion! For the whole session, the four of us keep talking but only a Chinese guy remain silent until the interviewer asked him to talk. I think he may not get the cut. Because it is important to voice out clearly and loudly as much as you could during that session without dominating the whole discussion. Actually they didn't ask us to give a presentation after the discussion, they only sit there and observe our discussion. But it may be different for each interview.

In the end, we ended with a few points. But this time i spoke up less as my Malay is weak, in other words i would say it is really teruk. After that, the interviewers continue with lots of question, in which i really can't remember them well. The wost thing is that, it is all in Malay! So, all i could do is answer them bit by bit carefully hopping that i didn't mix my Malay with English. Hence, I'm stuck most of the time. But i think i still managed to answer him and he is able to understand it. Please be reminded that do not mix up your language.

Most of the question were related in asking you the reason and why it is better to study overseas than local. It is lame and very useless. I think it is not fair. Because the whole session was almost 80% in Malay, while the other panel was the opposite. That was what i heard from my friends in panel 1. However, the whole thing was already over and i don't think that i should bother it anymore. It is all now up to those JPA people and God.

P/S:

  • Always sit up straight and talk loudly and clearly with sincerity.
  • If you have any problem eg: the room is too cold ( for my case), you didn't get the question clearly. Please raise your hand and ask them to repeat it.
  • Take the opportunity to speak during the group discussion.
  • Always respect the interviewers eg: greet them.
  • Think before you speak.
  • Don't get too nervous. As it is only an interview, try to relax and take the interviewers as your friend as it is a normal conversation and enjoy the whole interview!
  • Take notices of the language the interviewer used during questioning. If they mix it up, then it is better for you to ask them what language they want you to answer it in.
  • Just be prepare with some current issues in case they asked!
  • It is hard to predict what they will ask and it may also be different for every interviewer like what i said in the above!

All the best!

I just copy it from my frienster blog...

Second day of my driving lesson..LOL!!!

OMG!!! I would give myself a 70 marks gua for my performance today...hehe. Because the car engine only mati twice at the same time. Erm...which mean that my engine mati again straight after the first time.Because i let go of my clucth to fast on the first gear. LOL!!! But after that, it was smooth~~~

However, i would give my
instructor 50 marks. If you are asking why then I'll answer: because he is very lousy as he spent an hour to find his way to my house. DUIH~~~really teruk lah. Actually he already found my house but because he is so lack of patient so he wasted his time finding and my time waiting. Because when i was going outafter i saw him, he just make a u-turn and drive away. Like I've mention in my previous post, my lesson was supposed to start at 10.30 am, but the time he picked me up was already almost 11.30 am. However, he still teaches me for an hour at the big drain's( directly translation from hokkien ) driving learning place to turn around the compound for like umpteen times.

The moment we reached there, he switched place with me. Then, i start to drive.
Wasieh! He didn't teach me the things like what the driving school punya boss taught me yesterday. He just let me drive. In my heart i was thinking : " Okay~~i think i might drive into some tress or what in the next second". But out of my expectation, i didn't knock or bump into a thing. Fewh~~but i did almost dive into a tree while trying to make a turn at the corner.

The first few turns i make at the corner was not really steady, if
I'm going to drive on real road i think i will really bump into other peoples vehicle. As i cut across the opposite lane while turning. But after a few turns i think i could managed it quite well. As he said that he will teach me how to drive up the hill or the parking for the next lesson. Yeah man~~I'm really looking forward for the next lesson and i hope to pass all the driving test once as i won't have the time to retake it. Of course i also hope that the instructor will fetch me on time.

Nothing to do just to kill my time before going to sleep~~~

DUH~~~

This is one of my friends aka shindo's punya favorite word...is there such word?! No idea...LOL!!!

Drop that topic and i don't know what crap i should carry on. Maybe is due to my medicine gua...i think so?! Because the medicine i took just now will make me fall asleep. If you are asking what illness I'm having then I'll answer i am not very sure. Because that day, i went to pay the doctor and his clinic a visit after suffering for 3 weeks of headache. He told me i got an illness call
synesysthesis...hmm...it is the wrong spelling because i forgotten how to pronounce it already...Anyway it is cause by my nose problem as told by the doctor. I think the medicine is working now....because my vision is getting blur. Once again, if you are wondering why am i still typing instead of sleeping, I'll also tell you that i don't know. Maybe just don't feel like going to sleep now bah~~

Actually this is my third blog to be exact. Before this i had one blogspot, but i had forgotten my password for that blog. Then the second one is my friendster blog, but i abandoned it because i also abandoned my friendster for quite some time already, furthermore i can't edit the blog template for friendster so i rather used blogspot. So this will be my official blog for now
*temporary*. I also got another share blog with my friends as you can see there at MY LINK .


I hate my computer larhxxx.... because i couldn't type Chinese...and if you going to ask why? I'll say : it is a long story, so maybe you could ask me in person. I'm still learning how to edit the blog template so maybe i could do a better job next time. I also don't know how long will i keep updating my blog. Because I'm a kind of person who do things according to my mood. I mean things which are not important.


Alright it time for me to sleep as i really can't tahan the sleepiness and the tiredness which i don't think i have because I'm wasting my time almost everyday. But i think I'll have a more meaningful day by tomorrow as I'm going for driving lesson for an hour. Ya, just a meaningful hour of my day out of 24 hours.

So GOOD NIGHT!!!

First day of car learning lesson

This is an exciting day....Because today is my first car learning lesson day, which is also going to be my first post for my new blog....


Alright it goes like these...

I woke up at 9 plus this morning and waited for that uncle to fetch me from 10 until 10.50 am. Oh man, the time of waiting was really long until i almost cannot tahan. Because he (that uncle) was supposed to pick me up on 10.30 am but he actually took up more than 20 minutes to start the lesson in which was the time i wasted on waiting for him.

He took me to Taman Bukit Perdana 2 which is very near to the place where i am staying to learn some basic driving skills. The first thing was adjusting the car seat....which i think it is too close, but he thinks that it is quite okay(the distance between me and the steering). Next, i need to check the rear and both side window. Then, i need to check my signal lights and those buttons or whatever thingy( wiper and head lights) on the steering. Lastly, i put on my sit belt. Okay now i am all set to start driving. Yipee!!!

However, before i could start moving the car i need to know how to use the handbrakes and gear. I also need to know how to use the clutch, leg brake and the oil pedal. I was also asked to try the way to change the gear and the lifting of the handbrake for a few times. Now it comes to the best part---the driving part. I was so excited!!!

Actually i can't really remember all the steps clearly, so i'll just briefly describe. I stepped the clutch all the way down then i change my gear from neutral to 1st gear. After that , i place my foot on the oil pedal..
.remember i place only then i slowly release the clutch until the car starts moving. But before these i need to lower down the handbrake first. I think i was driving on the same route for about 5 times until he took me to another route. I also learned how to change gear where i need to release the oil pedal and step on the clutch again and changes my gear from 1st to 2ND and then releasing the clutch again slowly. If i need to make a stop at the junction i also need to step on the clutch first before steeping on the brake gradually. I ended my lesson at about 11.30 am and my right leg ankle part aches and i think that it has something to do with the distance of my seating.

It was really fun, i am looking forward to the nest lesson. In which i was
just informed by the driving school that i will have the lesson on tomorrow at the same time.
