Fuhh..Lega!
The interview went well..I guess. At least, I am satisfied with the interview and I am relief.
Its devided into 3 section which are section 1- essay writing, section 2 - group interview and section 3 - individual interview. The section 1 was ok; 2 questions are given, choose 1 and elaborate. For section 2, a question is given and we need to discuss in a group. Its 5 of us and we got a topic of 'pengangguran di kalangan siswazah'. At first I tought all interviews will be done in english, I was surprised that this group interview is done in malay. Our luck, the discussion was ok. Hentam saja cakap.
This is the best part, section 3 which is individual interview. I was nervous while waiting because I thought at that time, I wasnt really prepared. Having a day off yesterday didnt help much as I was really tergolek dog at home. I was hoping that no fact question of all the falsafah pendidikan negara and all the issues related.
There were 2 interviewers, an old man and old woman. They started by asking me the meaning of my name. Then, they asked about my work and I elaborated. The crucial question was why did I apply for KPLI and whether is this my first time applying for KPLI. My answer is yes and I said, I really wanted to be a teacher since I was small and my interest towards english.
Him : why only apply now? If you really wanted to be a teacher, u should apply long time ago since after your spm.
Aku dah gabra time ni..relax..relax. Tu lah kencing lagi!
Me : After spm, I got matrix. I applied for TESL, I applied for all courses related to teaching and education but I didnt get. The same thing happened after my matrix, I applied again for all those courses but I didnt get any chance to jump into this field. Now only I got the chance to apply for KPLI and I am thankful I am called for the interview.
He wasnt satisfied, he keeps arguing with me until I fade up and my last word about this:
Me : I guess God listen to my prayers, after a long time longing for teaching job, He gave me this chance and here i am..
He finally senyap terus. ehehhe..lega aku.
He continued
Him : What is you favourite singer?
Me : Mariah Carey.
Him : Too standard for school children. Can you sing?
Me : Can..no problem.
Him : Do you know a song 'I have a dream' from westlife?
Me : Yes ..I know that song.
Him : Can you sing that song for me?
Me : I know the song but I hardly remember the lyric.
Him : I give you the lyric and you sing for me.
Me : Ok..no problem.
He really gave me the lyric, few lines only lah..not the whole song. Gila nak menyanyi the whole song, kalah westlife nanti. And I sang ok, and the other interviewer laughed at me. Bengong! Interview punya pasal..bersemangat aku nyanyi.
He asked another few questions. He was the one who 'poyo'ly asked a lot of questions while the other just keep quiet and sometimes smile and laughed at me.
All went well. No fact questions of issues related.
Updated my parent about the interview as they fetched me after the interview. Updated him too. They also laughed at me especially on the singing part.
I visited my mak tok this evening.
Mak tok : Im naik apa balik esok? (my family call me Im at home)
Me : Kapal terbang, mak tok.
Mak tok : Pukul berapa kapal terbang esok?
Me : 8.30 pagi.
Mak tok : Ha..tak pa. Esok pagi mak tok suruh bibik sorong mak tok duk kat luaq, mak tok babai Im. (My mak tok is paralysed due to her stroke last year, she cant walk anymore and dependent on the wheelchair and help of bibik to move around)
Me : La..nak buat apa. Mak tok nampak je flight tu, bukan nampak Im pun kat dalam tu.
I was like erkkk? biar betul mak tok aku ni. My mom said, my mak tok is started mcm nyanyok2 skit and she is excited semacam whenever she sees all her cucus balik kg and visit her.
Going back to kl tomorrow..
