Bangun seawal pagi, bersiap dan terus ke rumah Kak Dah untuk mintak autographnya. Dah settle semua² document tu terus ke ASTRO membaca artikel² screenshots (my last review la kononnya), mungkin ada yg boleh digunapakai waktu temuduga nnt.

Topik² yang telah diricky² antaranya landslide, MRR2, bird flu, indonesian bombings, fuel price and also budget 2005.

Jam 10am menantikan ketibaan WHA 8349 untuk menghantar ke MPTI. Rasanya kering bibir ni terkumat kamit mengaplikasikan petua Kak Dah bagi pagi tadi. Berdebor² dada ni rasa nak pecah pun ada. Rasa nak patah balik pun ada. Tapi terasa rugi pulak kalau tak teruskan, hayun jugaklah langkah ni ke bilik keramat tu.

Mana ntah kucampakkan IC semalam, tak dijumpa² jugak. Atlast bila Puan Guru tu suruh keluarkan IC ORIGINAL, (arghh sudah!) terpaksalah meminta maaf kerana tertinggal IC dan mohon kebenaran untuk guna License sahaja. Nasib dia bagi, tapi tak tahulah brp markah aku yg dah kena potong kat situ.

In overall, interview session tadi consists of:

1. Essay test (30mins - Choose 1)

a) Women should learn basic lesson of self-defense skills. Do u agree? OR
b) How to promote local fruit.

2. Explaination on personal interest, skills, teaching experience, activities with community or
culture events. (30mins but its not a test, just basic introduction about myself).

3. Interview session (20mins more or less)

* Current job, description current job.
* Quantity female teachers more than male teachers. What is your opinion.
* Why male teacher not interested in teaching.
* Do u see any difference in English Syllabus now?
* What do u think cybercafe now becoming a gaming centre?
* If you were a teacher, how do u advise yr students regarding the cybercafe?

After the session, panel wish good luck. Inoverall rasanya tak berapa susah sangat soalan² yg diajukan. Cuma bimbang jawapan yg diberi merepek². Ada kawan² yg sekali tadi pun kata, sumtimes u have to press on yr luck. Bila dia cakap mcm tu, aduh sakitnya perut ni. Aduh apa ni, sebelum masuk bilik tu risau, dah keluar pun risau. Yg perlu dibuat sekarang hanyalah himpunan doa je kot. Lain² terserah pdNYA.

Atlast apa yg diricky² tak keluar satu pun. Sumhow tak rugi apa pun. Still its a general knowledge. Terima kasih mak, sudi susah payah hantar linda tadi. Harap² ada rezeki kita.

Sepagian menaip module Matematik Diskrit untuk kocik. Rasa lenguh lengan, tapi berbaloi ada juga budi kutaburkan untuknya time² yang runcing ni.
