After SPM 3: PSD interview

During the day of interview , I went to the place of interview at INTAN Sungai Petani,Kedah , which took around a hour to reach from my house. I entered the interview room with full confidence. However the full confidence seems to be useless. The interview was assessed via psychology test and face to face interview.

Well psychology test seems to be fair to all those candidates , but not for interview. The interview was in form of 6 person per group discussing a given current issue using both Malay and English language. Oh my god, I was so unlucky of being grouped with 5 other English fluent students , looks like it is not a good day for me.

I still remember my topic: Children nowadays like to play computer games. They cannot perform well in their studies. What do u think? Whether u support or oppose?

I did another mistake, I prepared my point in English first , but suddenly the interviewers requested for discussion in Malay. But I had no much problem for it.

The Malay language discussion ended well , all of us were equally competitive but the difference come when English language was used.

Most of time during the English discussion I support the statements , but it looks like all other 5 candidates did played computer games and they chose to oppose my points. Furthermore all of their English commands were great and far better than me. I was just like being "attacked" and "bombarded" by them. And my pronounciation was not well and lack of fluency , giving me further disadvantage of counter-attack or defending myself.

Then I ended up with knowing that it was extremely little chance form me to be offered.

And that is because I did not improve my speaking skills well.

I regret for it.

And a months later , as what I had predicted , I was rejected by PSD. My dream to Australia had gone.

But I had to proceed to my further studies. However there were still options : local MOE matriculation and STPM a.k.a Malaysia High School Certificate.

Now I need to choose between one of them , because both options were cheaper and affordable.

What would be my option...........May 2007.................
