Putting up a strong front

well, it's hard for me to say it out loud this time, but it is a fact....I failed my driving test again mipo....so how? retake again lah....that seems to be the only way out. I felt really embarassed.. among my friends i'm the only lucky one to have the chance to retake my deiving test...up till now, everyone passed their tests one time round...phew...and me?? going around and gladly tell everyone i failed....wahaha...

I seldom do so badly in all the tests i took..except that i had failed my BM during primary 5.But this one was....terrible!! How i wished that i'd passed the first time, though it was just a small mistake that caused me to fail. This time was worse...after two weeks of not driving, i guessed i'd lost touch with my skills....the car didn't seem to move although i stepped on the accelerator and released the clutch...so what did i do? Step harder on the accelerator!!! wahaha.. what a joke....coming to think of it...i guess i should release more clutch right?? i'm not sure...so, everytime i stopped, i was struck by this dilemna....the car won't move, and when it does, it went vroom...speeding forwards...it wasn't like this before....and i don't know why...the d-moment came when i reached a junction and was supposed to stop. When i was ready to go, released the clutch and step on the accelerator...still the car won't move...this time, the engine died on me.... the examiner was getting impatient... i know...since the car move forward a little bit, over the spot where we were supposed to stop, the verdct: i failed....wahaha...

we swapped seats and he drove me back to Berjaya....at that time, i felt: what a disgrace!!! but i know that i can't just give up...!! i don't feel like telling anyone about this... the last time i went around telling everybody, but this time, i just felt...sad, dismay....despair....haiz...

That's the sad part of my story...i shan't elaborate on it....afraid that it might draw tears in my eyes... they are swollen enough already....due to days of insufficient sleep

Ok....today, i went for the JPA scholarship interview...

2nd aunty drove me there. Together we went with mumy and aunty Mary. When we reached Kluang, we stopped by aunty Moi Chai's house. Then together, the 4 of us went for lunch at Prime City hotel...wow!! the lunch was fantastic!! Mine was chicken chop with rice + a glass of orange juice, and guess what, it only costs RM7.90!! hahha...Thank You aunty Moi Chai for the lunch!!!!

Next, we headed for INTAN, where the interview was held. Registered and submitted the photocopied documents. i was placed at Panel 3, guess what?? i was the first on the 2pm list of Panel3 wahahah...mambo number 1!! We went into the interview room in groups of 5. My group consists of 4 chinese and 1 indian. So, we were greeted by 3 interviewers. We sat according to our numbers but only after we were asked to sit lah, i don't want to be rude. haha..

First, we were asked to introduce ourselves....of course, me was the first to start...so, i started off with my name, from JB, came from SMKST, my family members and my hobby....nervous??maybe not!! wahahha...

After the brief self introduction in Malay, we were asked to discuss a given topic in English. The topisc given was How to reduce dengue cases? so, the 5 of us gathered around and had a 2 minutes discussion. After that we were asked one by one to present our idea. .... blah blah blah.. Next, we were given another topic, but this time we need to present it in Malay....The topic was How to overcome the shortage of Specialis Doctors in our country?? in Malay lah of course.... but i just translate it. So, again we were given 2 minutes to discuss. After that, present. I did not take note how long did the interview last...after saying thank you and leaving our signatures, we went back to the waiting hall to get back our files.

Next, went back home...it's a long journey..plus the wheather was so hot too!!....hahaha but i'm quite satisfied with my performance today....haha..at least much much better than what happened yesterday....i feel much better now....

Whether i get this scholarship or not does not matter much to me, i'd known in the first place that it's quite hard to get this scholarship as the places available are limited especially courses like medicine...but it's the experience that i valued the most...at least, this time i wasn't as nervous as the time i went for the Taylor's Principle Awards interview.

ok, that's it for now....tommorrow's April fool!!...

Nitez n god bless
