3 vs 1

Its been 2 days since I got back from my 1 week trip to Kuala Lumpur. I was supposed to go there for 4 days to visit my cousin but then I was informed that my interview with UM was on the 24th so I extended my stay there.

Some of you might know why I put the title of this post as "3 vs 1" . For those that don't, it basically means 3 Panels of Interviewers against me (1). I was not nervous at all for the interview as I had already prep for it a few days ago and did some of my research. As I entered the room,there were 3 SERIOUSLY different looking people sitting across the room ( Interviewers ) . One of them was a guy who was a lecturer there in his late 30s.The one sitting in the middle was also a lecturer(Malay) and I am pretty sure she is also a nurse there and the last panel was a Chinese Nurse. I was kinda happy that one of the interviewer was a Chinese cause I can freely speak in English cause at first I thought the session was going to be fully conducted in English but to my surprise  , the other 2 asked questions in Bahasa so I was kinda shock as I thought it was going to be fully in English but again thank goodness the last interviewer was there.

The first question kinda had me stuck . "What have you prepared for this interview?" Now if the question was in English I'd be able to answer it but then it was asked in Bahasa so I kinda froze for a while. I pulled myself together and started talking about a few research I have done about nursing. How it is in high demand in our country especially male nurses and also about the discriminations of nurse. There were also question of where I see myself in 5 years from now,my view on men judging male nurses,worst part of nursing and also the Million Dollar question of why I want to become a nurse.

Basically the interview went well ( I hope ) . Results are out in June . Hopefully I'll get into the programme since it has been my dream to work in that particular profession .
