it is defitnitely a tiring and long trip as UTP is located at tronoh,perak...
i had to go from kuala lipis.. pahang.. tired la....><
but.. this is a realy good oportunity for me to get a scholarship to further my studies, to realise my dream of becoming a mechanical engineer..
so.. it was worth... i decided to grip this chance.. for the sake of myself.. ^^
actually.. it also gives me a really new experience,
and provide me chances to make more friends..
well.. this year, the educamp, which is important in selecting the students who deserve the sponsorship by petronas only lasted for 2 days for each batch..
i am in the first batch... 15th-16th april..
it is pretty lucky to b shortlisted in the educamp.. as they told us tht out of 10000 candidates who applied for it, petronas only choose 2000 to go for the educamp...
however, the chance of getting this scholarship is small, as they only choose 550 students..
in fact, all the students who attend the educamp were all the best among the best...
so, the competition was quite hard... i had to work really hard in order to achive it..
on the first day, we had our registration and all the opening ceromonies stuffs...
there were also talks and speeches..
but there were no camp activities like ice breaking, and group activities, sports activities...
however, we had a campus tour, we just hav a visit to the mechanical engineering falcuty area a short while... the first day was just a leissure one... nothing special...
we live in the old hostel of utp... still quite ok la.. can sleep through the whole night..
i was grateful and happy to meet a friendly roomate...
he was a guy who came from malacca... great to meet him.. we all get along.. as soon as we met each other.. his name - JUDE... wow.. he is english educated.. so.. really good in english.. haha..
but, he was humble.. thts y we get along easily..
the other students was very nice too...
i met with a lot of malays students and they were friendly too.. however.. there were too many students, we dont even have the time to noe each other one by one... just smile and talked a bit..
dude.. there were 400++ of us.. quite a big number.
well...... the most CRITICAL and DECISIVE day came on the second day.. ><
the second day is the most important day, so, i focused on it..
it was the day when we undergoes tests and INTERVIEW..
i carried out test like IQ test in the morning..
it was not that stressful..
but in the afternoon, i was being interviewed..
it surely is a stressfull one... i could even feel my heart beats and my hands were cold..
fortunately, i could give myself enough confidence.. i managed to try my best..
wow.. there are two part in the interview..
first part - one to two interview, where i had to face 2 interviewers
second part - group discussion...
we were given the topic - "education policy'
these lasted for 2 hours... so long orh?? hehe..
yea yea yea...^^ it all went on well.. everything was excellent and as good as i expected..
i manage to deliver my best during the interview and was so happy tht i could do tht..
yeah... it was all ended in the end.. then, i went bck to my hostel...
i packed all my things...
i didnt even have the opportunity to bid farewell to my roomate... pity..T_T
because he still not finish his "mission'.. i mean the whole interview..
well... i then went back home.... home.. home...^^
so tired untill i sleep in just a few minutes on the car...
finally, i really wana say that- UTP is defitnitely an ideal place for engineering... it is a fabulous university..... big, nice, good facilities, excellent surroundings... it is a whole pakage.. i like it..
hm...in fact, this is really a whole new experience for me in my life..
learning how to interact with friends is one of the things tht i learnt from educamp..
it was a quite memorable 1, although it was very rushing...
and.. i had give all my best in the interview..
i have no regret... i just have to hope for the best...
