My Sweet Interview

On May 5, I have to attend for an interview, that promising an oversea study! Wow, that was a surprise !I’ve been dreaming walking through a foreign alley that muffled with endless falling snow before, and the chance to realize it had finally swayed !And for my chuckling part, I kept thinking a few words like, “This is it! I’m going to England!” .Yeah that should be funny. The interview wasn’t getting me nowhere yet, but I’ve already dare to dream a wish, in fact, a prank wish after all! ^^

For this entry, I’m going to share the whole experience of being at the spot.

It was a nourishing and covered with such a misty morning, I woke up, earlier than anyone else ever did. Even my pop was still snoring pleasantly, before I made some noises that annoyed him. The clock indicated 6 AM, but I’d already in a bathing suit, preparing for some shivering coldness of a pouring rain in the bathroom. I thought that I would shiver till the time I sat at the front of the interviewers, perhaps.

I’m shifting the story to the part where I was on my, taking off to the spot. It was very chaotic and stressful thing ever happened on my lovely morning, when I found myself was in the middle of getting late once the clock indicated 7.40 AM (the time that I need to BE rite there was 7.30 AM, and the location that I currently been at that time, was just 500 meters from the sport ), wasting my precious 10 minutes, sending both of my brother and sister to their schools, respectively.

I arrived estimately 7.45 AM. Boy, really glad to make it eventually. Once I got there, I glanced every single thing, just to find some sort of sight that could possibly help me finding the way to the interviewers’ room. I took couple of minutes, walking tremblingly to the spot. To my mostly surprise, I was the only male that stood outside the room, while the rest were the opposite gender of mine. Seeing such thing just made me curve a smile, a gleeful smile actually. Well, the probability might be on my site, wasn’t it? The damsels would have a hard time struggling to stand and fight against each other, just to win the right, and be announced as an oversea student as well, while in the other hand, I shouldn’t have to go that hard, cause I was the only male! To make everyone clear, please read the phrase below :

“THE GOVERNMENT TODAY HAS AN ENORMOUS DEMAND ON ARRANGING THE RATIO SYSTEM AMONG THE STUDENTS’ INTAKE TO THE HIGHER EDUCATION,THAT EMPHASIZING THE EQUALITY RANGE OF BOTH GENDER,SITTING IN A SAME CAMPUS.”

In the other word, if female student were leaking out from the box, they should be reduced in order to give the male students some spaces. Hence, I was so lucky to be the only standing male, grabbing the chance to pass the interview, rather than those dames. Distraughtly, the cheering emoticon had to stop at once, soon after I recognized a person that apparently the same species as mine! Darn it! The situation left me no option except to compete with that guy. He looked very confident with himself. The coat, the postures, the glittering shoes, the smile…! Gosh! He approached me, lifting the right hand of his, emerging a sight of a friendly manner. An offer for a shake hand of course. Why should I refuse it anyway? Somehow, he spoke for no word after all. What a strange boy. After a short while, he left, and as a replacement, another gloomy-faced-male came to the view. We both sat at a row of provided seats, and wait for the calling name, while the damsels annoyingly kept the conversation to the maximum possible volume. Urrgghh..!

There were four different tests that we need to get through, before being accepted to the course.

FIRST TEST : Group Conversation ( must be fully in English )

SECOND TEST : Individual Interview ( eye-to-eye meeting, conversation must be in English)

THIRD TEST : Objective Paper Test (135 Questions within 30 minutes)

FOURTH TEST : Essay Writing (writing in about 120 words, within 30 minutes)

Wasn’t it sounds a little bizarre for you guys? Ohh… I forgot to extract some explanation at the first place. Actually, it was the TESL interview that I attended on that day. The TESL stands for Teaching English as a Second Language, which means, I’m going to be a teacher, an English teacher precisely, that will be transferred to the oversea, for a further higher education, fully supported by the federal government of Malaysia. We were asked to speak in English, and never emanating any language other than English. That was surely a pretty tough thing to do at the mean time. How could I suppose to speak in a language that I rarely use in my daily life?

Once they’d call my name, I stood up, walking briskly into the room. Here we go!

Nothing unusual happened in the first, third and fourth test, but something more groovy were about to erupt in the second one. Yeah, the eye-to-eye test. As an initial, they asked me to describe myself. I just spoke clearly (actually had already memorized some necessary texts),but in a sudden, I just somehow lost my words, I had nothing to say anymore! In order not to get myself trembling to death, I added up some confidential matters, including the existence of this blog! Yeah, I told them that I’m a blogger! Surprisingly, in such a jiffy of time, they were very interested with this blog thingy! They asked me numerous thing about this, Syadan’s Lair. The situation gave me an expectation of opportunities to elaborate more about the details, and they seemed to understand each of my word through their obvious nodding.

Well, that’s the story. I was to obsessed with the outcome. Never thought of something like this before. Thanks to God for giving me an opportunity to crack some ideas for this blog. Hopefully, I’ll be accepted and will have a chance to make my way to England! Wish me luck, people! ^^
