Hye! Sorry for a quite long abandon....
There so much thing happened few weeks back and yes, those things made me burst out.
Let share my stories with a good news first.
6th November 2oo9
Sunday - just a normal day
When I was sitting comfortably watching TV, there was a incoming call on my phone. The number was very unfamiliar but then I answered it. Guess who? It was from Kementerian Pelajaran Malaysia(KPM) calling to inform me that my application for Temuduga KPLI Januari 2010 Sesi Rayuan has been approved and I am needed to print out all the documents needed at the KPM website. What a news! A week before the school session end, there was KPLI interview result released. Me? yeah, Im failed to get myself on the interview stage. But, I really dont know they have appeal session for the interview. Im speechless for a moment but then I ran to my father to inform the news. He was smiling widely. Yes, it means a hope.... the interview will be held on 1oth December 2oo9.
Interview letter10.12.2009
Thursday - the interview day
Upon arrival - 9.30 a.m
Adik accompanied me and we had arrived an hour early. Its better early than late right? 15 minutes before 10.00 o'clock, I force Adik to help me memorizing those 6 thrust of Education Development Master Plan (PIPP), Malaysian Standard Teacher (SGM) and its criteria. Not forgotten, the teacher's day theme for this year and all related information about education issues. There were nine candidate all together for my session. The course applied was different from each other.But most of them applied for B.M and Pemulihan course. Me? English subject. Grrr.... Im not really expert in language...Neither English nor B.Melayu. But I'll try my best for every things...
By 10.30, one of the interviewer came out from the interview room as to submit Surat Akuan Perjanjian to us. It was Surat Perjanjian untuk rela mengajar di Sabah dan Sarawak sekiranya dapat. Fuh! There's no such thing during the previous interview I've attended. After done submitting the form,the interviewer asked us to collated all the documents needed in order just like written on the sheet given to us. Firstly, I am very grateful since all the documents needed were set. But then, I was very suprised when I read the statement :
BORANG MAKLUMAT DIRI BESERTA GAMBAR BERUKURAN PASSPORT
????? I never thought of the passport picture.Gosh! then I re-read my borang maklumat diri. Bad! There's a column provided for passport picture!!! Damn! Oh Damn ! My temperature was getting high. Aduiii ! Then, some friends suggested to me : ' Check in your purse. Mesti ade kot passport pic and check juge in your handbag' . ------- Checked ! there was no passport picture in those bag. Then, one of them told me :' Better ask your Adik to snap pic thru her phone and go find a kedai gambar nearest' . Ok, that's idea was brilliant~! I reached the phone and dial her number fast. But the worst was,Kredit x cukup !!! hadddddduiiii !!! Since my hubby uses maxis, so it will be sufficient for me to text him and ask him to call my sister to call me back.
On that time, adik was at her friend's house.,Dini. It took 45 minutes to get back at my interview place, Maktab Perguruan Pengkalan Chepa. So, by hook or by crook, she needs to be there before the interview session end. Lucky, she managed to come before the interview started. She gave me her passport picture since our face are look alike but then I asked each of candidates whether the picture got my look. Hampeh ! the answers were BIG NO.
So, Adik snap my picture and drove to the nearest Mall, Pantai Timur Pengkalan Chepa to get the pictures in passport size. Mean while, me and all candidates were in the interview room for the first session,group discussion. Dah kauteem baeek dengan one of the guys (two guys only among nine candidates) yang akan jadi leader and will pass up to me. The guy is Faezah Mamat friend at Jabatan Kementerian Putrajaya. What a small world! Things flowed just liked expected. Alhamdulillah.
nervous smile o_O
Done the first session, the second session which was Personal interview will be held right after that. We out from the room,wait untill the bell rang. Once the bell ring,its means first candidate should be in the room for personal interview. Guess who was the first? - ME - I was quite mad when none of them didnt want to write their name as a first candidate on the name list given.They kept on pass up the sheet to each other. It was just waste! Hmmm.... then I decided let me be the first, so that I can get home early, have my sleep early,eat early and forget all abot this early.
Thank God, adik arrived on time. I enter the room with glue and a passport size picture. I did apologize for my silly mistakes and stick the picture on the borang maklumat diri right in front of him. There you go. - the interview started :-
1. They asked me about SGM (Malaysian Standard Teacher) and Alhamdulillah, I have ideas to answer the questions.
2. They asked how to make students love to read ? and again, Alhamdulillah,Allah s.w.t gave me ideas to elaborate it.(eventhought some of the ideas were not good enough to say)
3. They asked me to stand up and sing a song ~ any song I know as to demonstrate to them how to make students attract on what I am teaching to them. They pretended to be students and I as a teacher. Dammmn !!! They had kidding me off! I did what they said, and the song ? they picked the song to me :- Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. At the end? They gelak besar on me. Bad!!!
Lastly, I asked them whether I need to sit for written test or not. The answer given was so annoying " hahaha..Thanks Siti for remind me on that part. Now you take the group dissucssion question and write the solution we had disscussed just now in English" .... "you can do it outside"
OMG !!! Teruk betul rasanya kena ! I did the essay. On my first submission, the essay was rejected. Too short ( eventhough one page) - they said. So i wrote it again and make my handwriting bigger.hahaha... enough for two pages,i re-submit to them. They said " x nak sambung lagi ke?" huh! I said " saya x lunch lagi Sir, Saya Lapar" . once again, they tibai gelak on me. Ah! read my lips : WHATEVER.
Last but not least, I salam2 with the other candidate and heading to the nearest Marry Brown for lunch.
THE INTERVIEW SESSION WAS KILLING ME !!!
