It has been a long time since i blogged...
so many thing happened ...i went to MUNSYI test which was a qualifying exam for USM....
and well i got called for an interview for TESL although it's just primary school teacher...well i was quite nervous when i went to the interviews....
i saw many people...smart looking and well behaved so i assumed that most of them were better than me in English so i just sit around at the corner and watching people
(an activity i used to do when i was in a foreign place...),examining them,try to figure out as many thing as i could that i can use to strike a conversation but in the end i decide to be myself...
whenever i was at someplace foreign,i just keep my cool and shut up although i can strike a conversation if i want to...it's just that having a father that was too friendly kinda give me the impression that it was not such a good thing to do...just let the others do the talking unless it's necessary because to me listening to others give us an advantage...
and then we were called...got 30 minutes to finish up the INSAK test...kinda like MUNSYI...it was a logical question and it took me only 10 minutes to finish...i waited for the test to end as my stomach growls a bit...oops...havent feed the puppy i thought ...hehehehe
afterwords we were given a 10 minute break which was finish in silence as i was in the beginning..then it was time for the group interview....my assumption was wrong...not to be proud but all of the other men was not very comfortable to speak in english like me(thanks to four month babysitting my niece and nephew,im used to speak in english)
i tried as hard as i could to contribute for the group and myself...and it worked...yay...thanks to Md.Fikri,an ex-matriculation student who volunteered himself to be the head of discussion although i was the one doing most of the supporting part...when we're finished, all of the men comes to me and thank me for my support in the discussion and just like that we all became familiar with one another...
what a good feeling...contributing to others...and then it is time for me to have my individual interview as i was the no 1 in the name list...i was asked for many things which i can answer with mixed language occasionally such as "penganggur" because i kept remembering one of those guys word for penggangur which was "grape seeder" which makes me forgot that penganggur is in fact unemployed....LOL...
i was also asked about current issue and to my dismay , why oh why did i talk about the red shirt workers in thailand...i was going to talk about soccer actually....and when one of the interviewer comment that my view was weak that most of the english teacher nowadays are women so i want to change that presumption..my true nature was unleashed for a minute...i was debating with him and in the end he loss to me...take that for provoking me...lol
although i am very tired mentally and also a bit hungry, but i think all well ends well...he and she was smiling at me when i was finished..wah....hope i can get the job
