YPPB Interview

I guess this may be really really toooooooo late to tell you all but hey, i got the interview for Yayasan Peneraju Pendidikan Bumiputera. Unfortunately, on the date i was expected to attend the interview, i was still on my vacation at Mount Bromo. Luckily, the email came to me one week before i took off. You dont know how i really felt about wanting to have the experience to be interviewed. I even told my mom if i can cancel my ticket to Bromo just for this interview. There was another alternative. The bravest of all. I managed to call person in charge and tried to ask for a post-pone date.

At first a guy picked up and i had mentioned about not being able to be there for the interview because im out of the country for few days and the day i came back was on the date that i was being interviewed. So, im not sure if could make it in time. He replied that he could try to find a way to change my date and even told me to email my reason.Therefore, i waited a whole day for the respond after sending the email. For that, i didnt gave up. The next day, i called the person in charge again and this time, the call was connected to else where when i asked for the interviewer who were sponsoring me. 

This time, it was a lady. She sounded a little bit serious. I said the same thing as i was asked the day before and she was saying she would be giving me a chance the day after the date i should have been interviewed but i would be taking other people slot. She even mentioned that it was not my cup of tea for this interview than it's really up to Allah to give the chance to me or not :') I only said thank you very much for your chance lady.

This time, going to Shah Alam was restless.  We manage to sleep over my mom's friend house near the place i was going to be interview. I prepared neither read anything read any article about what CAT ACCA, or the course i was about to take. I do have something I knew about the course but it was not much like some boys or girls who came for the interview (maybe) We arrived in Shah Alam at night. It was a lil hard for me to sleep early because when we reached my mother's friend house, she had a lot of things to talk about with my mom. Thus, she also invited us for a midnight movie "Beauty and and the Beast" which was a top on the movie list that time but sadly, i had to pass it this time because the next day i have to wake up early and really put my guts on the line. lol. okay it's not even funny.

The very next day, we left the house around 7. i didnt breakfast much but i bought some snack a nasi lemak ayam on a bus stop (which i forgot to bring :( and end up throwing it) After facing a "really" jammed road and a hectic traffic lights, we were in INTEC Education College again. hoho. It was not in the faculty music anymore. This time we were in a mini hall which is going to be 'our' class soon. I entered the hall alone. There were already full of students like me sitting with their parents. I dunno why my mom dont want to sit with me and listen a little or at least know what course im taking but.. haih maybe she was not interest. There was a very long line which end at the back of the room. well, huh i didnt know anybody here but i know some of them already have friends because they just signed up for the sponsorship together except me :) When I was thinking about my future, i never thought of friends. because it's me who's taking the risk. 

As you can see in the schedule above that there were briefing from MyPAC and IPAC who were in charge on successing this programme. A little more I got to know about what i'm talking. This was the only ongoing scholarship that caught me in the circle. So, I wont give it up since even my parents were supporting me. We were told that it's a fast track and the scholarship is something that can change into a debt if we failed any of the paper and many more yada yada which was important for me not for you :> I wasn't thinking about any of these except that i went through the interview.

After the briefing, the morning session for the interview started after a short break. Anyone who wanted to have a little breakfast is given enough time to eat and proceed. 

Since I was a candidate who asked to be interviewed a day late, I was put as a last candidate  which i didnt expect that -.- So, I waited a lot and i didnt even know what to do or search about what to read so I'm not going to be clueless and the interviewer asks me anything.  I believe that most of the people who came for the interview were from good school or what we call some top school like MRSM or SBP or Tun Kursiah or KYS. They brought with them a handful file and fully-refilled papers with their achievement of the past years before they end their school years. Since I got a lot of time, I didnt really roam around but i just go to some places i know then suddenly, I ended up lending someone my shoes. What!? Yeah i did :) it was a girl. She was in the morning session. Her attire was alright except that she was wearing sandal. So, since that time wasnt even knowing that i was the last candidate for the day, I lend her my flat black shoes. Luckily, I met her back and so I asked her how did it go. She only answered that the interviewer only ask to be in a conversation with them. I hope it's true :3

 During the break for praying time and lunch time, i spent my time eating my first lunch with some kind of a sausage bread. It taste really great! haha but i forgot the name. It was near what we called "Crow Cafe" because it's a confirm that a crow will eat your food if you left it on the table. After that, I prayed zohor in the musallah in the the faculty of music since that's the only place know since the assessment before. After putting my hopes to Allah and let everything happen on His power, I rushed back to the mini hall and waited for the next session which was my session.

Finally, it was time to gather in another room to prepare ourselves to be called. I was a pink baju kurung and an instant blue scarf with some blinky blinky accessories on top of my head. I don't know how i look but anyways, it was the best of all. I sat next to some great students ( yes i have a lowwwww self-esteem as always) On my left, a girl who kept on looking herself on the mirror and also fixing her lipstick while on the right of me, she just too normal and not showing any shaky feeling. The wholeeeee time of waiting for the last session, I kept on reading al Fatihah and putting my heart while reading something to calm me down. 

"Nur Irdina binti Mohd Safawi, room 3" and there you go................................................

AFTER ALMOST THREE MONTH WITHOUT ANY UPDATE, I even gave up with it. Moreover, the sponsorship also send a second interview session on another date and mentioned, if we had attend the first time, we don't need to attend for this one. get it? So, I thought maybe the result for the first session was already out and my chances was burned :( but then this one came. 

I got in! Alhamdulillah!
