One day in [U]niversiti [T]eknologi [P]etronas

Before I start this post, I linked the title to this song



Okay, not related at all..... because the only thing similar is the title.

In the previous blogpost-I Am A Lone Wolf, I thought I was all alone. Well, that isn't the case on Monday. A buddy of mine actually got the offer too. Hence, we became 'Duo-Wolves' XD

The 'journey' started at 7am. Reached UTP in about 45 minutes, which is 7.45am. There were already a long long queue for registration. Found my friend in the crowd, and I registered faster than he does...( Buddy Teong, don't hit me ~.~ ）

Then, the 'Majlis Perasmian' or Opening Ceremony started at around 8.30 am. It was delayed for a bit, since the registration took an hour......

UTP song
We 'sang' this song during the ceremony LOL. ( I thought it'd be National Anthem first?)

Then, let the speeches begin! After some major bla bla bla （ some were interesting though ), it's time to separate the groups. Teong and me were in Group C, Group A and B would go for interview first, while Group C and D would stay in the Chancellor Hall for ' career briefing' ( which I grouped it as another bla bla bla section , but the lecturers were really nice and good in speaking too.）

After the briefing, it's already 12pm. Had our lunch under tents they prepared. The foods were quite good and delicious compared with the one prepared for students in other places...

Then, Group C candidates got 'hold' in the holding room until 1.30pm. We got our case studies( AD PAYS) in Preparation Room.... So...time to get the brains running. In the room, we had to choose our group/ panel.
I thought they were going to separate us, placing us separately. To my surprise, they actually let us chose our partners etc. There was only one rule, each group must have 3 boys and 2 girls. So, some members of those groups that did not meet the requirements got to 'exchange' with other groups. My group was consisted of me, Teong, 1 Malay boy from Penang, and  2 girls from Teluk Intan , Perak. ( too bad I didn't take their Facebook =[  )

After the preparation time was over, we moved to another room ( they call is as another stage lol). We wait for the panel to call us for the interview.

We were supposed to do our individual interview first, followed  by the group interview. Our group is so special we did our interviews altogether XD This is a good thing though, since the more the merrier( lol what?) Nonono, we had more courage when there were more people by our sides. We got an 'ice-breaking' session too... I don't know if other groups have this session or not. We just went in there, and do the talking. We got 2 interviewers, and they were both very nice. Although we spoke like mad people... bad grammars and sentence structures everywhere, they still listened to use patiently ( although one of them looks like very tired in the end of the session.)

Another benefit is, our session is probably shorter compared to other group. They had to call the members one by one, and then discuss the same things all over again in group interview. Since we already knew each other's points during the individual interview, our group session... was very short, relatively. I didn't know how to do a conclusion...so I just conclude all our points and asked ' do you agree with bla bla bla ' . Since we already knew the points, all of them agree...without any objection XD The interviewers were just like 'Okay?'  and wanted to fall asleep already.

Thus, the interview was the only important event throughout the day. After that, all of us left the building and I headed straight to my home with my dad...( He drove me to there and waited for me . Thank you dad! )

I didn't really take much photos....but I'll see if I could find one. ( probably form the web or from my friends)
