Interview for Scholars

I believe it should be a short short and concise post. Thus, I will only briefly explain on what it is all about.

I do know only few scholars, so not much info are available.

JPA
-You get to register to SPA before they call you for interview. If you pass the iv, you will get the offer

Petronas-iv notification and whole process might be within 6 months after finishing study
-You will be registered by Petronas officers for job application, unlike non-scholars job application.
-After that, you have to sit for a few stages of interview.
-If you manage to pass all iv and group assessment, then you will be getting the offer
-Otherwise, you either have to pay 20% of your sponsorship value or you don't have to pay one.

BNM-iv notification and whole process might be within 3-4 months after finishing study
-Same as petronas, except for the few stages of iv and 20% payback thingy

SC/Khazanah
-you will likely be called upon once you graduate.
-for khazanah, you have to wait longer as they need time to sort which companies you will be assigned to.

Others
-will be updated from time to time

It's May. A teacher worthy to note down.

As the title above, it is the 5th month of the year. So, I need to reflect on what I had achieved so far. The thing is there is not much to stuff to talk about as I do not have much interesting things happened lately.

Let me just say about my teacher who has helped before I turned who I am today. For this reason, I would just focus on one teacher because I myself could not write down every single teacher who had taught and helped me in the past 25 years of my life. Maybe, I will write it down in another post someday in the future.

It was not a difficult subject, yet it was very unpredictable as to what kind of grade you will get in your SPM. For mine, it was A-. The single subject in my SPM which comes with an A-. I could not care less about the result because it was all history and there is nothing that I can amend currently.

The teacher who taught me this subject, on the other hand, was a very caring person. She would represent herself as a motherly figure who would make sure that her children would get the best education as possible. Yes, she was Mrs Neoh Swee Ho. She taught me English For Science and Technology or in short, EST. 

She did not make the subject appear to be a very difficult one, instead she would make the subject as easy as she could because you know, EST is unpredictable in the sense of what sorts of questions that would be asked in the exam. She made us thinking about the technology that had happened in our world and she mentioned a lot of things about the terms which were not originally in English, rather it was derived from old Nordic language or Latin or even Greek language.

One particular word that I could remember to this day was "reservoir". Sometimes, we take English for granted as we do not attempt ourselves to acknowledge how a word should be pronounced and spelt. But, Mrs Neoh showed us the right way of pronouncing the word. She would even clarify to us where the word originated and in which century it was from. Being a 17-year-old at that time, I was totally astounded by her as she would know every single thing that happened either in Malaysia or overseas.

She was even called as "the walking encyclopedia teacher" because she had a lot of knowledge in most of the stuffs that she would tell to us in every class that she attended, For me, if not because of her, I would not be wholehearted enough to discover every single book and articles on various things that caught my attention and interest.

For this very reason, I wish I could meet her again to say how much that she had helped me. And who knows, maybe I could be a teacher in the future with that kind of characters.
