I'm here to reflect over today's interview at the British Council.
7 people were shortlisted out of (godknowshowmany who applied) ... and I was one of them. Not only that, I was the first on the 'fortunate' list of people to be interviewed.
7 people were interviewers, including the chairman of the British Council and some distinguished individuals who all looked equally intimidating.
The interview was declared a 'round table exercise', and I shall quote the chairman: " With objectives to allow us to explore your personality and to allow for an informal discussion."
The questions were anything but easy. They were like missiles, launched one after the other, without giving me time to recover from each injury.
Last thoughts: if I do get this scholarship, I would be the happiest person alive. I will firstly thank the following individuals who have willingly become my referees: Mdm Tan Ju Eng, Dr. Wong Bee Eng, Prof. Mohd Quayum, A. Prof Rosli Talif, A. Prof. Hj. Idris Abdol and Prof. Sheik.... Secondly, I would like to thank the university for the support, my parents, my boyfriend, and my loving friends....
If I do not get the scholarship... I would still be happy, but of course not as happy as if I were to succeed... nonetheless, the experience of the interview itself was worth ever sweat and pain...
Oh well... good luck to myself...
