my very first interview, albeit an informal one…at MUIS…how’s the feeling??
hmm….very much nervous and throughout the journey to muis, my mind was reeling with all the possible questions and how i may answer it. serious heartnerving.

my appointment was at 12.50 and i reached the place right on the dot. inquired at the reception. n i was asked to go to the 4th floor. weii, takder lift la seh.

the interview went well, i hope so. there’s two persons from th education unit who interviewed me, and they were friendly enough, asking on my educational background and my expectations. i hoped i answered well. i forgot to be nervous actually! and the whole meeting lasted only 15 minutes! they will call me this friday for the outcome. that’s another scary thought.

haha yea! my results are out! the feeling was actually more laidback, i kind of felt like whatever the results are, it’s done and i’m done with it. so despite getting a pass for the arabic subjects, which i had expected it, (i never dreamt of getting As if it’s arabic), am more receptive of it.
so yes people, i have completed my undergraduate studies! ALHAMDULILLAH!

and good people, being in the dean’s list does not change anything, it does mean that you are smart somehow, but it doesn’t mean those who doesn’t get it, are not in the smart list. and rushing or studying for the sake of that list only, will mean you’re doing it for name, not for the sake of the knowledge itself. and not being in it does not mean you didn’t try hard enough. i’ve known people who tried very hard and they don’t usually got good grades, but that does not mean they are failures, it just means they will value hardwork more than those who get into it without much study. what’s most important is the gift of learning. treasure that. not the cert that says you’re in the list.

i was just imagining some friends who had tried hard, though not getting much, is it fair to say they are not doing good enough? is it fair to label them? is it fair to judge them by the grades they get? or by their personality? i’ve heard various stories of people getting As in their studies, but doesn’t have much in communication skills, and lack of attitude.

it’s the reason why i never liked to compare ‘intelligence’ with others. i believe everyone has their own special way of studying and everyone is smart enough to me. who are we to judge? so what if we got As? does that make us better then them? how do we know if their hardwork are lesser than us? fikir2kan lah.
