Getting nervous

Hmm... time really kills... start to feel bit of nervous d... never felt this in presentation... now the nervousness is building up... gosh... awake or sleeping, whole mind keep viva-ing... argh...


First day of viva is over... see-ing others responses... some looks happy with it... some cool... some seems had a bad time ... some eased through... wonders how's mine gonna be? How's my 15 minutes gonna pass? What will Dr. Nik gonna ask? Is there any major mistake in my thesis... Will Dr. Azwani be in the room? Why is he so annoying in my mind... keeping thinking of him... cant get him out...>.<

Viva... viva... viva... When will it be my turn? Wondering am I prepare for the show. I really need a great boost... My slides numbers quite bothering me... haha... What to do, that's all I have... How well do I understand my thesis? I really don't know actually... I did what I suppose to do... Currently waiting the time to come for me to spark or dim wherever it take...so be it... It's gotta be a long way to go... 

practice makes perfect?

Days of Interviews

Hmmm... I was missing from the world of blogging for almost 2 months I assume... busy? or lost my passion for blogging? haha... maybe lack of idea or lack of passion plus sorts of busy recently...

After a long wait, finally I was called up for 2 interviews... Gotten so excited with it... Which both are located at Klang... I was firstly called up by Topglove sdn bhd and that's already an excitement which me myself couldn't describe it in words... Then followed by a call from Mewah Oils Group. Then, there started a small conflict in myself, which should I choose? Argh... what ever, just head for the interviews first and see how's the result.

Thanks to my rm edmund for lending his car for my 1st interview... Topglove here I come... For a person like me which who doesn't drive much on da highway and don't even know the way to Klang. Ya of course! Google map is my best friend~ haha... Sadly, I didn't make a details notes on the route which lastly cause me a wrong turning... erm... I was definitely on the right track till somewhere near Subang then I went direct to Subang airport =.= Me myself was shocked when I arrive at the airport. Oh swt... Lastly I did arrive at the factory after some searching...hehe


3.10pm was my check-in time at the guard house for an interview scheduled at 4.00pm. As what I was told by my rm, I was given some forms and some "test" to be done. Wow, I would say those "test" are not so easy as I thought but I couldn't say it's tough either just it took me really some times to finish up all the questions. 4.30pm I settled my test (I forget what time the paper was passed to me) Then there goes a long wait again...

I was called to walk up to the meeting room for the interview... Hmmm... nervous? haha, quite a bit. My 2 interviewers was Lim and Goh (if I did not mistaken), from their looks I think that they are seniors of me by around 2-4 years. I was questioned quite lots of questions on my study my koku, my FYP... erm, 1 thing which plays in my mind till now, they keep asking me not to be nervous. That moment when they was telling, did I felt nervous? If from my own point of view, I was quite calm at that moment... haha since I can have a good talk with them, I am actually enjoying it. Finally, a hand shake after the interview... hehe, their hands are freezing cold I noticed...^^

phew 6pm, my interview ends? when I was about to walk out from the factory... I was called by Lim, I thk for a second interview by the manager or someone more senior... He said the person was in meeting and it's about to end soon and for my case which I doesn't need to come back for a second interview if the interview is done today. Ok, I don't have any comments on that since I was free... waited till around 6.30pm before I was called by Mr. Peon. Hmm... yeap he really looks very calm and very senior to me... At first I still able to answer his questions with sort of confidence but the more question thrown out by him the more dizzy I get... Wow, I would say I really doesn't know how to answer... Why are you applying topglove, we are not doing oil? What you know about glove? How is your course related to glove? (I don't think much related either) ya the hardest 1... I am studying oleochemistry but he said that you are not studying chemistry... I was stunned... I can say that, that was the time I really felt nervous...haha 

Hmm... anyway I find that the manager was quite a fun person to talk with... hehe... the intonation he uses was cute I would say... His cold arrow was really a tough 1...From the interview experience, I have quite a good impression to the factory. ohya, I love the cute guard too...haha... He is so friendly...


My next destination, Mewah Oils Sdn Bhd. Even though both company are located in Klang but both are not at the same place. I need to re-google the map, and this time I am a bit more clever I took down all highway code with me and all the exit code. I was well prepared for the driving this time. Thanks to my buddy Ron for his car too ^^ 

This time I really have no problem with the route taken. I went straight into Pulau Indah west port in around 1 hour time. No swt...haha I arrived there quite early around 12.30+ and actually I planned to take some lunch perhaps before I go for my interview at 2.30pm. I drove around the island and damn... I see only factories all left and right... and the roads starting to go @.@... I decided to drive back to the Mewah oils. Park the car then the alarm rang =.= swt... Ron mention about that d...Ok... I did my best to silent the alarm then I tried to start the engine...gosh... It don't start... then I decided to go for the interview 1st and come back to it later...

Mr. Marcus Loi was my interviewer... Hmm... by the look he looks older than me by more than 4 years... Very soft spoken person. Erm... I was asked on what I know bout oils refinery... Swt, I thought will not be asked... yeap I barely still can remember some of it... ask about soap production (wonder why I go mention bout it =.=) then we talk my activities during my uni life... how the activity carried out and what's the impact of it, how does those activities helps in building character. Ask bout Prof. Ambar? hmm... From his expression I think he knew prof. haha...

And that's all for the interview session... let's get back to the worst part of my interview... It's nothing related to interview by the way. The car... @.@... I tried to hit the battery as was told so... at 1st I uses the umbrella holder as recommended by Ron... and ended up my whole hand get blue black and the alarm doesn't went off... then I think of spannar! I open the back bot and get a spannar and hit slightly and yeap the alarm went off! hurray! but the car still cant be started...OMG... then I touch the battery...the alarm sounds again... and I try to make it silent again...yeap I did it... but this time is @%%%^&%%$*!!!!! I left the car key in the car and after alarm went off the car auto lock! 

I was lucky my handphone was with me that moment... cause I left my files in the car already. I called up Ron and Edmund for rescue... Thanks alot to both my buddy who willing to rush down to help me... Sorry for bringing so much trouble to you guys... I stand below the sun for around 2 hours and get dehydrated =.= I learned a great lesson, never leave your car keys in the car when you get out of it...

It was the experience I had during my internship interview... I hope this memory will stay forever in my mind or at least there is still reference here ^^ hahaha~ yeah! all da best to myself...
