passing by.
Konbanwa.
There hasn't been that much since I last posted. Okay, maybe some but none that are worth posting here. I might as well just talk about my oral or interview or whatever they call it now for the scholarship.
Mine was at 11.30am if I'm not mistaken and I was in group B. My interview took place on the 6th floor but I had to wait on the 5th floor. Whilst waiting, I made conversation with the other interviewees. Of course, I was nervous, worried, so talking to the others took my mind off of things for a while. I can't remember everything in detail but this was how it roughly went...
*went to the 6th floor, took of my shoes, knocked and opened the door*
Me: "Assalamualaikum." 'Basar jua biliknya ani. Di hujung lagi interviewernya ani'
Interviewer: "Waalaikumsalam. Bah silakan masuk."
*looked around the room, there were so many seats I couldn't figure out which one to sit in*
Me: "Uhmm. Duduk di mana ah?"
Interviewer: "Ni di sini." *pointing the seat that was at her right*
*sat down, senyum2 arah interviewer*
Interviewer: "Saya akan betanya dayang beberapa soalan bla bla bla..." *explained about how the interview is going to go*
Me: *nodded and smiled*
Interviewer: "Bahasa Melayu O'Level berapa dayang dapat?"
Me: *wide smile* "Hehehehe C6 saja."
Interviewer: *smiles and laughed a little*
Interviewer: "Sila baca fahaman/petikan yang ke..." (can't remember what number, it was about the tourism industry)
Interviewer: *asked questions based on the passage given, asked synonyms of some words from the passage, got stuck with this but the interviewer didn't mind that much and helped*
Okay, I think it's best if I just summarise of what the interviewer asked since there were so many questions and I couldn't quite remember how the conversation actually went.
Some of the questions that I could remember was how can we improve the tourism industry in Brunei, why has the number of tourists increased over the years, how do we act and treat the tourists, how do we promote the country during the tourists' stay and what other sources that we can use, besides tourism and oil&gas, to boost the country's economy(?). She also asked to list out a few tourist places and hotels.
Based on MIB, she asked how do we show our MIB-ism to the tourists, in what ways do we use MIB in our country in terms of the economy and how we maintain our MIB when we go overseas in the future.
Interviewer: "Dayang pandai baca jawi?"
Me: "Pandai."
Interviewer: "Bah baca petikan yang disediakan."
Me: *reads the passage*
Interviewer: "Bah atu saja."
Me: *bangang*
*30 seconds later...*
Me: "Eh? Atu saja?"
Interviewer: " Awu atu saja."
Then I asked a few questions about the scholarship and UCAS.
Me: "Terima kasih ah. Assalamualaikum."
Interviewer: "Bah. Waalaikumsalam."
*got out of the room, went down with a huge smile on my face*
Basically, the interviewer went quite well. I admit that I was sort of lucky as I wasn't asked about the ministers' names and all. Alhamdulillah~ All that's left to do is just wait for the next call.
ARASHI! I just felt typing that, hahahaha! Their new PV Mada Minu Sekai e came out a few weeks ago. There has also been numerous leaks of their new songs from their upcoming album Beautiful World from Arashi's radio shows. I've listened to a few but I'd rather wait until the official has been released. Throughout the post you'll see some screencaps from the PV. Hope you like it! Because I certainly do... :D
Until then...
Oyasuminasai.
Assalamualaikum.
