Beyond a place named Toronto.

Hye.

I was just came back from Toronto. haha.

Not too far, just in Perak.

Actually it's Tronoh but the senior there rather call it as Toronto.

Don't ask me why. I have no idea.

Maybe because of the name, it's pretty close right.

There i am attending EduQuest Camp organized by Petronas.

Yeah, it was pretty tough to see many excellently brilliant student gather there.

Many of them are SBPians as i used to see some of them before.

There are 11 person from Sc Johore.

Really joyful moment to see many of my friends after a long time. haha.

We camped there for two days.

The first day, we we're tested on Math and Science which include add math, physics, and chemistry.

Really tough question! Expecially Physics.

I still remember the first question, it's about speed of light.

1) it is given that the speed of light in glass block is 2 x 10^8 m/s. A glass block with a thickness of 9.8 cm were exposed to light. What is the time taken for light to pass through the glass block?

Yeah, it sound like that. I left the first three question which is physics. After i had answer all question, then i came back to the first three question. Alhamdulillah, after a short while i manage to answer the first question. I'm pretty confident with my answer.

It is the 2nd and 3rd question that i'm not feel much confident. But, who cares.

I do my best.

The 2nd day, we proceed to much challenging and daunting task.

Yezza.. The interview and IQ test.

The IQ test wasn't hard but the time were just ticking fast.

40 question for 20 minutes and 60 question for 30 minutes.

Not many people can complete the test confidently in that time.

I wonder if there is someone outthere.

The interview was interesting.

It's not like jpa or mara.

Like jpa the marks of interview is just 5%.

So they do it lightly without much fact question.

It more on the course you'll take, the loyalty, your behaviour, your background and etc. something more like that.

But it is much differ from Petronas interview.

There, they are looking for people who are well - rounded.

People who can talk fluently, give idea creatively, work in team steadily and make decision confidently.

But it is much interesting. and it is fully in english, not like jpa interview.

There we were divided into groups and my group task is about global warming issue.

Each group member were given a different recommendation of government policy for you to study and for you to present in group discussion later on.

My recommendation is..

The government policy is to give education to public so they will realize the real situation and help industry to achieve the standard level gases emission.

Yeah, it was't too hard and i can expand a lot of idea from it.

Before proceed to the grouping session we are needed to present what we gonna talk to the interviewer.

And i talk to the interviewers what i gonna present later.

I start my point with the proverb Pen is Mightier than Sword.

Just to show the importance of education.

Then i just give some example about primary education that may be implemented in Malaysia.

i just give them the fact about Science Nature subject that is being progressed in USA.

At the end of the individual interview session, the officer said, "sharpen your point a little more and it will be the best".

Later on we went to the grouping session.

Here we were needed to make a conclusion on our issues.

We have to find the best recommendation among us.

Alhamdulillah, my point was selected and all members agree that education is the best way to overcome this issue.

Then, it's over and everyone went home.

But my friends and i sleep there for another night to have a stroll around utp.

Before going home, we hang out in KL just for few hours.

Few hours just enough to relax my mind~
