Huan Jie taking me taking his picture.

Classmates waiting for class sessions

Yes, look at the guy on the right. Yes, he’s a student, a student going to the Biology Lab, and not Batu Ferringghi beach. Gosh, why is he on beach wear? Well, every Thursday is Disted-Stamford College CAX (Cambridge A-Levels 18 months) Science March Intake’s Beach Day! Woohoo, everyone on beach wear to school. Flowery pants and slippers.

Yan Xiong, one of the very cute guy in my class, but he's very quiet

Mission and Vision

Alright, beginning of experiment, this is how it looks like.

Beginning

Mix it

Look at it and start recording the time + observe

Peep on other people's thinggy

Start comparing

Finally, just boom down the lab and we’ll all meet each other once again on a fine day.

BOOM!

My personal Microscope

Slides that I've prepared

Onion Epidermis Cells, that's what I got when I look into the Microscope

This experiment is to test the degree of plasmolysis of the onion cells when you soak them in different concentration of sucrose solution, but sadly for me, I don’t know what happen, my onion cells all look exactly the same in every concentration, so I’ve got no results. What a bad day for me.

Same Cells under X40 magnification

The two previous picture was soaked in distilled water, and this, soaked in 0.5mol per dm cube concentration, is suppose to have slight plasmolysis, but, LOL, no difference. So no results for me, even my very pretty Biology Teacher can’t find anything to help me, she said, I didn’t give enough time for it to be soaked in the solution.

Darn, I don't see any plasmolysis

WTH, do u guys see any difference?

And so I become very Emo. Why I so useless neh? I’ve never done anything good in Biology Practical Class since, I observed my Cheek Cells. It’s like a curse, I never got anything right. And my AS is going to finish soon, if i go to exams like this, I’m totally gone.

Out of bad mood, I cut all the onion into small pieces

Hee, a smart guy who always did well in Practical, may be because he is precise? Compare the things he prepared and mine...

The best I could get, the degree of plasmolysis is so Not obvious

Then it’s time for culinary art. Onion + Iodine + Methyl Orange + Sunflower Oil + Stick + Alcohol + Fire = Great Onion Dish

Nice?

oh well. Actually my interview time was on 8am morning. But yesterday night, CC suddenly told me that our time had changed. So, i faster rushed to check out my time. Oh gosh! changed to 10am. Batus? nah, quite scary, don’t know which time suppose to go.

Course applied: Social Science

Venue: Bahagian Teknologi Pendidikan Negeri Pulau Pinang, Pokok Sena, Kepala Batas.

Panel: 3

Group: My group was a lil bit weird, there were 4 students in a group, 3 girls and 1 boy. 3 girls are chinese and the only boy is malay. Weird is it? 1 social science, that’s me, 2 accountancy and 1 engineering.

Time taken: around 40-45 mins

#1 Self introduction:

Introduced ourself in BM! oh my god, my BM sucks to the max. Can’t even speak proper BM. I had mixed a lot of English in the introduction, i know it’s a big big big mistake to do so, but what to do, i really don’t know how to speak proper BM. And i was super panic cause im the first one! Okay, back to the point, we can talk whatever we wants, talk about our family background, talk about co-cu activities, why choose this course? which country u want to go? and why?

#2 Discussion:

In english, luckily! so the question was: patriotism levels among youth in the country have declined, state your point of view. We were given 2 mins to jot down our own points.

#3

The panels asked, who wants to change their course? none of us say yes. So, move to another question, so the panel asked us, there are 1500 places for this year, now we are given an opportunity to promote ourself and talk about why we deserve the scholarship? We can choose to answer this question either in BM or English. yeah, for me of course English. lols. 3 Chinese were using English to answer this question just one, the only boy answered it by using BM.

That’s all, the interview finally ended. All 3 panels are nice and polite. They won’t shoot us and never shoot us. FYI, one panel is pengawai JPA, one is doctor and another one is someone who works for government as an architecture for 8 years. lols.

p/s: I know my english is not good at all, sucks. So, this whole long long article sure have lots of mistakes. I’m so sorry. All the best to all who went to the interview! and good luck!

i wore baju kurung to the interview. phing in pink! =)

wore specs to show that i’m a serious student, deserve to get the scholarship. lols.

i don’t have any leather shoes, so i wore my ballerina flats to the interview. Cute is it? =)

Drove all the way from Penang to Kepala Batas. Thanks to my awesome dad that taught me how to go there with phone call. wahhh.

Best thing to do when stuck into traffic jam- CAMWHOREEEE!

met up with dad after reached there. We went to breakfast before the interview. Had roti canai.

yeah? i’m the lucky no.1. =(

For penangties, I think you all would choose Kepala Batas. It’s not that easy to find so i would recommend you all to at least bring a GPS or go once before the day. Some of my friends and their parents had a hard time finding the place so guys, be prepare. Google Map first or at least asked someone who really know the place well.

Guys, please wear formal: long sleeve shirt (no T-shirt please), black slack pants (no jeans!), TIE (very important), belt and Kasut Batu (those shining and annoying sound shoes, ask from your father).

Girls, please wear Baju Kurung. It’s a very important factor.

THINGS TO BRING:

You all should have printed the surat temuduga from the internet when you know you are coming to interview. On the second page it was the checklist of things to bring, please follow and bring everything they stated. For bottom part, please photocopy and certify the things they said you need to photocopy. And PLEASE PHOTOCOPY BOTH YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER‘s DOCUMENT. I didn’t photocopy my mum’s one and they don’t accept my photocopy set of document. This is crap. LOL.

For the top part, arrange your document and certificate according to the list, put and arrange them in a clear holder. For example, first page, your surat, second page, your ic, third page, your birth certificate… and etc. They will flip through it to give you marks for cocuriculum part.

Other things that are not stated: Well, pen. You’ll need to jot down point when you’re inside for discussions.

Upon reaching the place, first walk around and search for the place where your name is on a board. Sign on the board, find which panel you are in, which is something like a room, then go to the door of the panel, there will be a big table with two secretary there. Sign again. Make sure you sign twice. Then wait.

You will all be divided into group according to where your name is. 5 person in a group normally. It will take around half to one hour for every group. So if your name is really behind, then go for a walk, have your breakfast or drinks if you’re hungry or thirsty, go to toilet and don’t be too nervous.

Well and for myself, I’m the 20th guy in Panel 1. So i actually waited at least 4 hours before my turn. There should be a lot of very good students over there. I met a lot of friends coming back from Singapore (they got Asean Scholarship but yet they still come to this interview), friends that are already in colleges, Top 1 and 2 in Penang Chinese Girl High School, and Ooi Hui Lynn, a girl from CGL who got National Scholarship. She’s one of the 30 lucky people. Why she’s here? Well, may be she wanted some experience? Anyway she’s quite pretty for someone who’s so brilliant, It’s so not fair… =(

Alright, so when it’s my turn, I leave my bag outside (you can bring nothing into the room except pen and a paper that they’re going to give you for your draft) and walk in alongside 4 people. Knock the door first, greet them. Walk to the chair, stand until they tell you so sit. Inside the room, the interviewers are all actually quite nice especially the Ketua. They try to let us relax. Actually the interview is not as stressed or as terrible as some would have thought. But one very important thing, PLEASE BRUSH UP YOUR SPEAKING IN BAHASA MALAYSIA or you’re gonna have a very hard time. (Like I Do)

May be I’m just not lucky but the interviewers asked me to speak in BM a lot. So, I think if you want to prepare, just prepare a very good introduction in BM for yourself, and tell them whether are you in a Pre-U course and which college are you in and they’re going to jot it down. Then followed by your aspiration, a little bit about your family, your cocuriculum activity (only the very good ones), some of your life philosophy (not too much please) and why do you choose the course. You are given only 2 minutes so please prepare well for this and try to impress them in just 2 minutes or they’re going to ask you to stop.

If you’re lucky enough, they’ll ask you which country you want to go. No, don’t be too excited, they’re not going to jot down which country and let you go there, they just want to know how well you speak and analyse. So find some country with good points. I said you’re lucky because at least you are handed another chance to speak and impress them again. Too bad I don’t get this chance.

After the introduction, they’ll give you time to do group discussion. It’s a general question about reasons, measures and effect. My topic is Global Warming on the effect of Nation’s Health and Social-Economics. You can discuss the points with those who are in the same group with you. It’ll be in English. So I think it’s quite easy for most of the people. Try to speak often in the group discussion and stand out among your group’s people, but try not to be too arrogant and kill other’s chance. Group discussion means you speak, let others speak, then you add-on again, let other speak, then you speak again.

And the final part, which is the hardest part for me, is a personal question. In personal question, they’ll ask a very general question: Adakah kemiskinan merupakan faktor utama yang menghalang kecemerlangan dalam akademik?

In this sessions, no discussions is allowed, you gotta brain storm for another 2 minutes and think of your own point. But the points are not very important because they’re not going to care or jot down what you said, but they just want to know HOW you speak, in BM. I think they’re looking for people with charisma, fluent speaker and confidence.

And for this part, they request us to speak in BM, and no bahasa pasar is allowed, only very standard BM. So I actually died on this part. I stopped a lot and some of my points are spoken in English, the interviewers gave me a weird and worried look, so basically I’m gone. So please, be prepared to use a lot of BM, unless you’re just lucky enough to evade interviewers who ask for BM answers.

So in overall, don’t be too nervous because the interviewers aren’t really that bad to shoot you. In fact sometimes they’re just nice enough to agree with your points and laugh together with you. Sometimes they will even share a joke with you. So just be calm, talk more, be GOOD IN SPEAKING BM and be confidence.

And it’s quite weird for me because they didn’t ask anything about my course as what most of the people expected. They only ask me which course I’m taking, but they didn’t ask why and what do I know about the course. So I think I’d advise you all not to memorise a whole essay of your course into the room, just read through and know about your course will do.

So good luck everyone. I don’t think I stand any chance for the scholarship anymore after the interview because I didn’t know that Dentistry actually crash with a lot of people who is taking medicine and we’re going into the same room. So for readers, Good Luck, just be calm and natural =)

Seriously on that day it was extremely crowded. The smoke were so thick and it irritate not only my eyes but my respiratory organs too. And to me it seems to resemble the features of apparitions. Besides that, I also put on earrings spontaneously on that day because there were a stall there. May be, just may be, it could bring me luck?

Inside Guan Yim Theng

On the right side of Guan Yim Theng once you walked in

Kind of the reception or counter, sells joss stick and lots of praying stuff

So crowded

Outside, the overview

People rushing here and there making prayers

The fire burns hot

The side door

And to those who do come to Guan Yim Theng for praying once in a while, should take note that there’s actually a few more statues over here, outside the temple and under the big tree on the left. There’s a small red hut. So do come and put your joss stick over here as a sign of respect if you have some joss stick left after putting them in all the pot in the temple.

The small red hut

So after praying, I went to Kepala Batas to search for the place for interview with Chien Chern, Cheong King and Ammerlynn. Then we went to KFC to have a feastful… tea time? Lol, it was suppose to be the lunch but we have it on 5.30pm, thanks to we don’t know what to eat over there.

Cheong took the picture

We reach Simon’s house on around 7pm. Manchester United V.S. Chelsea in a premier league match. We watched it with HD Astro Beyond. It was so clear and Manchester United has a bad game, they lost 2-1 to Chelsea. Congratulations Ancelotti.

Drogba on the left shoots the ball past Edwin Van Der Sar to give his team a 2-0 lead after he came on as a subtitutes

After the match, we played L4D on Simon’s Computer, played poker, I won RM1.40 xD

Then we went to Subaidah beside Island Plaza to have our supper before I go home.
