White HOPE: MARA INTERVIEW

music: suara baby Danish yang excited tngop tv. =)
mood: lambattttt..... hehehe

Assalamualaikum... Sorry dear readers, actually this post dah agakk lama tapi lupa nak publish.. huhu~ So, let it begins.. Okay camni, kira mcam sharing experience laa yer..

Agak cliche, after SPM results, website JPA/MARA mula dibuka,, for those yg qualified, uolls can apply for the scholarship either to pursue overseas or dlm negara.. Both are okay laa, but whether JPA or MARA, you guys have to pick just one! As for me to choose MARA, I have my own reasons..

REASONS (why I chose MARA)
1. Most of my family members yg dkat2, pick mara nyer scholars. So, it is easy for me to ask for their opinions, MARA's treatment and so on.
2. Medicine. It is a tough competition. Rmai spm-leavers seek for medic. I just feel that MARA provides more places for this 'favourite' course. X tahu nape pkir camtu. hehehe
3. Rmai cakap, competition to secure a place for mara ada more chances. Because we compete among the bumiputera only. Yes, it is. Tapi klu uolls dah mmg outstanding, why afraid of healthy-competition, rite? I mean, kat ane2 pon, kene bersaing kan? So, be competitive k!

After dah ntar application for MARA, pencoret ader laa gak survey scholars len, tapi amat laa sikit companies, private sectors yg offer for medic. I am so down. Spatutnya kiter patot cri back-ups kan? Yer laa, xleh nak craving for MARA only! Tpi pencoret decided to not apply for any other scholars. Sbb pencoret dah tekad nak amik medic, so, xkira susah ke senang ke, tu laa yang terbaek! Klu x dapat overseas yg MARA pon, I xkesah buat local! Bgows gak tawww! =) Be positive!

Slepas sbulan mnunggu, finally, MARA panggil for the interview. Before the big day, pencoret ader laa research sket psal the interview session. Suppose to be an individual-interview (len ngat ngn JPA yg grouping). So, I asked my seniors, families sumer psal soklan2 yg maybe ditanya. (Just to keep my mind ready)

But when the interview weeks for mara started, rumours spread yg taun ni akan jadik grouping nyer interviu. So, I just like... errrrr.... The reasons why taun ni the procedure changed because the applicants for mara scholar has increased! Lbeyh bnyak yg minta MARA apart from JPA. So, tak cukup masa n tenaga nak buat individual.. (Meaning=again, competition is tougher)

Interview Session
1. My group consist of 8 members. Sumer apply for medic, overseas. Meeting great people. =)
2. As we sat on the chairs, the interviewers gave us the task which was to build a bridge out of the raw spaggetties. The given time was 15 minutes (correct me if I'm wrong,, lupe sudaahh)
3. Mser buat bridge tu laa, kami dinilai. Wloupon xder mende mnape nak ckap, force yourself to speak! haha~ Pencoret hari tu pon, cooperate ngan groupmates jer. Make myself comfortable as it was a simple conversation! And dont forget to smile all day long... haha~ So that the 'nervousness' tu x nmpak sangat.
4. Outcome= Our bridge amat laa x cantekk. haha~ But it is a firm and strong bridge. As it can tampung the loads which is the scissors and tin sardin.
5. Then, we were asked to sit again and every persons were given 1 minute each to answer 1 question about the bridge. Macam penggulungan a.k.a moral of the task.
6. Yang ni crucial gak taw. Pencoret just jawab jerr the quest. Btol salah len kira, asalkan, tak nampak kalut, blurr and konfiden ngan diri. My quest= If you are given a chance to redo the task, what would you change?
7. Peringatan! The interviewers seem sangat laa annoying. Dorang wat muka cam xnak dengar jer aper yg kter cakap..haishhh~
8. Then, it was done! hahaha~ see, xder tnyer mnape pon psal medic! x tahu laa what criteria they are seeking for... uhh.

Aper-aper pon pencoret dpat apa yg pencoret nak! THE EXPERIENCES.. Alhamdulillah, sumer nya b'jlan lancar. And I already did the best. Prayer should always be with us no matter where we are.
