BNM Interview (26/4/2010) (8.30am - 5.00pm)

I think most of my friends knew that I have attended BNM interview 2 days ago. Due to over-tiredness that overwhelming me for these two days, only now I posted up my brief experiences on that particular day. Oh, wow, I did enjoy myself on that particular day and I was really glad to know my group members. Coincidently, i was at the same group as Jia Rong, a friend that i knew from Cheryl days before the interview day. My Purple Group consist of 9 members, which were Jia Rong, Huey Yuin, Sze Yun, Wai Yee, Niniey Daud, Shahir, Afif Asyraf, Hanis Suhaila and me.

Every single one of them was great and awesome, and definitely I can't put too much hope on this prestigious BNM Scholarship Award. But hey, I was considered as damn lucky to be selected as one of the 150 shortlisted candidates, out of 10,000 applicants! Whether I am able to secure the scholarship or not, it's not that important but the most important thing is, the experiences gained for the interview sessions. Most of them were very friendly, especially Jia Rong, Huey Yuin, Sze Yun, Niniey and Shahir. Really glad to meet them on that day. Oh, we were provided the breakfast (crispy roti-canai and a cup of teh-tarik), lunch (chicken rice and a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice... Yummy~), and high tea (coffee, tea and fruits). Lots of my group members fell in love with the cafeteria inside the BNM's building. Oh well, glassy windows and everything were posh at the cafeteria. Nice~ LOL.... =D

I would post more about my interview experiences later after the interview sessions ended this week, since everything about the interview were confidential. No one should let the cat out of the bag, and every question asked should be kept as secret. Keep in touch everyone~ Stay tuned~ =)

2 Weeks Experiences in The New Class! =)

Listening to: The more I seek You - Kari Jobe It's been two weeks since I joined the new class! Most, if not all, of my new classmates are quite friendly to me, gratefully! Thank God for that! Within the first few days I've recognised and remembered most of my classmates' names! =p Okay to be frank, I was trying to memorise. That's why I could remember their names fast, and blend into their group easily? =) How? Facebook does the trick! Adding someone into your friend list in Facebook will definitely improve your ability to remember names. Well it works for me, at least! =p Okay why am I keep writing posts about PE1? I don't know, just want to share my thoughts with everyone, how I spend my time in the new class and so on. During break time I tend to hang out with a group of new friends, and a large portion of them were from Catholic High School, PJ. Haha I was supposed to go there, but I didn't. My younger sister did, anyway. Most of them tend ...

Advices and information from Senior Recommer, Smilehoe! ^_^

Here is the reply of Smilehoe, a senior Recommer to me due to my dilemma at my previous post, and I think it is worthwhile for me to post it up here to be shared with everyone due to its great and effective information to me. He's an actuarial student in UM(University of Malaya) and here it goes:  Hi Nicholasng925, First of all, I think that the effort you put in considering and researching on actuarial science is impressive. I didn't know as much as you do while I was at your place. I'm not an engineering student so my advice would be lopsided, do take it at face value and make your own judgement.   We will talk about a few scenarios, Case 1,  No A-levels, I think alternatives are pretty limited. Form 6, A-levels or other Pre-U courses at more affordable institutions. You can again aim towards Act.Sc. while doing those courses. Case 2, A-levels or other Pre-U, but no scholarship for overseas degree As you have mentioned, NTU and NUS are good alternative...

The Greatest Rejection Ever!!! T_T

Upon rejected by a dozen of scholarships institutions, I was highly hoping at the very common scholarship that everyone would most likely to apply for - JPA. Obviously, there was a stiff competition among the excellent students nationwide, since JPA is only capable of offering 1500 places to those students for overseas program. Probably there are tonnes of excellent students this batch who scored lots of A+, but instead of 2000 places offered for the previous years, JPA reduced the number to 1500. Due to economics recession maybe, and we as the students, are the major victims. Lots of my friends who actually scored way better than me failed to get the scholarships, including me of course. Also, the introduction of A+ to the students end of last year shocked and intimidated almost every SPM'09 student, cause they were not given enough time to prepare adequately to score A+, which technically means above 90% marks. Personally, I was really down and depressed over the rejection of J...
