Blended

Last wednesday, I was quite happy to find out I'm shortlisted for JPA interview on April Fool's Day. I mean, it's natural to be glad about it, right?

Then came the time I found out I'm rejected by Sime Darby. It's weird though. Sime Darby sent 2 emails to me regarding the period where the interviews will take place but I checked my status these few days on the website but I'm still rejected. So, why sending me the emails?

Then I found out I'm rejected by Tenaga.

Next, rejected by Khazanah.

Mixed feelings. Guess I can only prepare and do my best for the JPA interview.

Visits

Last Sunday, I went to pick my little sister from Sunday School. But I arrived too early, so I went in and and looked at the programmes while waiting. Uncle Peter saw me, walked to me and immediately ask how am I doing. Then came Aunt Suzy too. For the record, I've been in the Sunday School for merely 1 year, and they still got recognized me, although they forgot my name. =) But it had been 6 years ago plus I joined Saturday Night Service since March 2008. They still have a good memory.

Anyway, I have a document, needed to be certified by the principal but my principal's on a meeting at elsewhere this week. My interview will be on April Fool's Day. Hopefully I'm not going to get shot dead.

Shell Is Actually Open

Yes, to correct my previous post and also jump-over all the blames I will get if people follow and believe what I wrote.

From what I heard when I went to a talk on the night of 12 March, the speaker said the scholarship is not open for Spm 2008 candidates. I also read somewhere over the Internet that Shell scholarships are not open too.

But guess I'm wrong though. I wrote an e-mail to be 100% sure to shell and I got a reply that the scholarship is open for Spm 2008 candidates. It seems that I cannot really believe informations in Internet.

Shell 2009

Just a short information and maybe I'm among the slow ones to know about this.

Shell scholarships 2009 is not open for SPM 2008 candidates. The information is misleading though. But I read that the scholarship is not eligible for SPM 2008 candidates.

Good luck all!

SPM 2008

It must be a little crazy of me for playing badminton for straight two days. I played with my school friends yesterday and with the church youths and college group today. That really explained why I can't stretch my feet as far as I wanted today. But anyway, badminton is still my favourite sport but it is considered as the only sport I've been playing for this recent years.

Anyway, back to the topic. It still seemed like yesterday since I got my results. I got my results on last thursday and here you go for the picture.



It was last thursday that I lined up to get my results and the first thing I do right after I got the result slip is definitely to glimpse through the grades. I'm happy for the results though, although I got a 4B for chinese, which is something many had said to me:" You shouldn't had taken chinese.". Obviously, I'm not a straight As student now. I'm also a little disappointed for getting an 2A for physics.

All glory to God that He provided me wisdom, guidance and strength to study for that the many months last year. I can only say that my results were good by God's grace and mercy.

I thanked my parents too they bought me all the reference books I needed and always giving me all the supports, advices and encouragement that no words can really describe them. My parents also supported me by not having me to worry about doing the chores or anything. My father picked me to and fro the school for sitting the papers and my mother cooked me lunch before sitting the papers in the afternoon. My sisters were also very encouraging for me to do my best.

My school teachers really helped a lot in helping me to understand the syllabus and how to score well for the papers, every section except for Science. All science-streamed students in Kuching High School take science for additional subject and we were required to study that alone. The teachers for every subject excluded science subject really put in the effort to teach me to score, especially BM where I'm weak that I got B for BM for PMR, Moral, History and Physics.

I would like to also show my gratitude to my classmates, best friends where I would discuss with them whenever I faced a problem with the model questions I've done especially when the teacher was not around. I mean, they were so much of a help that they can provide me the best explanations for the theories and concepts.

And also to Daniel Chong, I truly thank you, who wished me good luck for exam and guiding me to study. And not to forget all the people who wished me good luck.

Uncle Mervyn was also very encouraging, who taught me to take fish oil to boost memorising power, especially for studying Biology and History, it helped a lot.

Anyway,for those who would like to know, for Kuching High, there were 33 straight As student which included 2 students who got 13A1s and 9 students who got 12A1s.

Driving Terror

It was very clear that I passed my driving test and got my p license on friday night , which I thought I can drive.

On saturday night, I drove to church but only half the journey until my father took over the driving. I wasn't really ready. I need my father to sit beside me to drive for some time. However, after a few drives, it seems better now. Driving on a steep slope and roundabouts are still hard now.

Anyway, there is only about less than 48 hours before spm results are announced.

The moment of truth is here, where the results of my hardworks will be revealed.

During Driving Test

It was three days ago that I have my driving test. My tutor only told me about the test on last monday, just the day before I have my test. The good thing is I don't have much time to be nervous.

That morning, I woke up at 6.40am. After having my breakfast and preparing, my tutor picked me up on 7.30am. I'm the first one he picked, which gave me more waiting to do to pick up another two for the test as well. By the time we reached the driving institution, it's 8.30 am.

My patience was tested. After registering for the test, I waited until around 11.30am for my turn. I got route A, which of course is a good thing.

Around 11.30am.

I walked to the car no.2 and entered the car after the candidate came out. The examiner, who wore a uniform with almost no difference to a policeman, went out for a while after saying:"Tunggu kejap ya.". I looked at the front mirror and the rear mirror. "Nicely adjusted, I don't need to do anything to it."I thought.

After a few minutes, the examiner came in and I started my route test. I changed to gear 1, releaseing the hand brake and started my route. Everything was fine as I drove through the long, straight road. The examiner seemed inpatient for me to drive at the speed of about 40km/h. "Tekanlah minyak. Sampai 60."He instructed me. (Was he hungry for lunch?)

As I drove back, he ticked every slot except for two slots, which he crossed. I said thank you and off I went to have my next test. It was so hot. I ran to the bus stop and took a look at the result sheet I got. What the! a cross for not checking on the wiper and another for not checking on the mirrors. I felt so unfair, since my tutor didn't told me about anything and the mirrors are already in the best angle.



While waiting for uphill test.

The wide compound view from the bus stop.


After another few sessions of waiting, I went for uphill, side parking and 3 point turning. Thanks God my uphill test was perfect.

At 2pm, the test ended and I passed all. Shortly today I will get my P license.

This time, I heard from many that SPM results will be out on March 12. 6 more days!

Finally, I'm now able to blog again. I just bought a new keyboard because the 8-years-old keyboard is too damaged to be used. So now I realise keyboards nowadays are soft ones, not the hard-pressing ones that irritates a lot.

Today, I spend the whole morning in the driving institution at Bintawa. My tutor told me I'm having driving test tomorrow. Wow, finally! I've been driving for about 14 or 15 hours. I'm just afraid if my engine's going to be dead for uphill.

Anyway, it will be only 9 days for ns campers to be back. I'm already rotting for almost 3 months and spm results are going to be out anytime. What is the main career I should go for? Are my choices the right one for me?
