Program Pemerhatian dan Penilaian Calon Penerima Biasiswa Yayasan Tunku Abdul Rahman 2015

I must say that i am glad that i was picked for this programme at Puteri Park Hotel, KL. The first day i wasn't really nervous, knowing i'll be there for 3 days and 2 nights. I was feeling neutral, and a little anticipation along the way. I was prepared, to give it my best shot, to get this scholarship, and to reduce my parents' income burden.

First day when i arrived, we had 3 papers to do. They gave us a test, which covered many aspects and areas, we have history, politics, geography, science, common sense question, ... and so on. Many were scratching heads, i did my best, and as more and more people left the hall for break, i left too. Just fingers crossed i did well.

I initiated a conversation with a girl name Carrie. And she introduced me to Evelyn. We soon became friends and had lunch together, and participate in programmes together. First night was everything about introduction, introducing yourself, and memorizing each other's name. In just one night, i was in touch with 60-70+ names.

Everyone there has leadership traits, everyone did well. It felt like i am learning more than giving my all. It's just like i'm covered in awe blanket, i was amazed every single time i was there.

Not forgetting to mention, my roommate Utih and Sharifah.

We assigned ourselves into groups that night, and i was in a group with bunch of sporting people. We had 3 races in our group, Chinese, Malay and Indian. We were to come up with a sketch that night, it's okay if you want to go to bed earlier, or just stay up late to think about the sketch. We stayed up late until 2am, brainstorming about what to present the next day during talent time. My group is awesome, as they came up with many different ideas and lastly we had our sketch draft done. We even practiced it out.

The programme push yourself to the limit. They had many different activities that require brain power and my brain cells definitely pushed itself to the brink that 3 days. We were working with minds, and also teamwork. Our bonds grew stronger as time passes, and we learnt how to become better.

This is an activity, where many people were in the boat, politician, doctor, homosexual, robber, ex-army,....etc etc. Who should you give up? 

We stick with teamwork. We wanted to save everybody. But little did we know, in the end, someone really has to die. 

There were times when the debate heated up real serious and many ideas and theories were slammed in my face.

We were also told to build boat using newspaper and tape and strings, we came up with this. It may look simple, but it's sturdy and requires lots of effort in stabilizing 10 people in it. 

We had debate as well. Everyone is just pure genius and good. They are competitive and knowledgeable.

My comments?

I truly did not regret participating in the programme. 

I had learnt so much in 3 days that everything in my 19 years of life can never replace. 

I've met so many friends in a day that i am impressed with my ability to communicate with other people. 

My eyes were opened to the many new traditions that i was exposed with that UTAR can never provide me with. 

I met so many great people and experience so many great things that i feel like a better person now.
