For Future Doctors in Malaysia: General Misconception of being a doctor (Copy and Pasted)

2011-05-16T15:36:00.004+08:00

November 11, 2010 by Pagalavan Letchumana

1) Guaranteed Job and Good salary/can make money

Many parents still believe that being a doctor guarantee their children’s future. Well, it may be so before but not in another 5-10 years time. You can read about these issues in my MMA articles column. 20 years ago we only had 3 medical schools producing about 400 doctors a year but now we have almost 30 medical schools in the country (the highest per capita population in the world). Last year alone, almost 4000 new doctors started housemanship in Ministry of Health (MOH). The number will further increase in coming years when all the medical schools start to produce their graduates. I believe it will reach a figure of 6000/year by 2015.

This is where issues arise. Even now, the MOH is struggling to place these doctors in various hospitals in the country. We have almost 30-40 houseofficers in each department now not knowing what to do every day. Their training is compromised and they are being released after that without proper training with license to kill! I may sound negative but this is the reality. Even district hospitals are being used to train houseofficers now, starting 2010. As you would have read in the papers recently of parents complaining that their child has been transferred to East Malaysia after completing housemanship, it is a known fact that the shortage of doctors at this point of time is in East Malaysia. As our MOH Director General had said, most doctors will be sent to Sabah and Sarawak from this year on wards.

What’s going to happen in the next few years? Again, my prediction is, there will be surplus of doctors by 2015. There will more bodies than post in MOH by 2015. Doctors most likely will need to queue up to be posted in government service. You will be sent to rural and East Malaysia to serve. Any appeal will not be entertained. If you think this would not happen, please look at the nurses! 5 years ago, the government began to approve numerous nursing colleges due to shortage of nurses. Now, we have surplus of nurses without any jobs. I know of nurses who are currently working in petrol stations! BTW, the MOH is currently considering introducing common entry exams for all medical graduates. Only those who pass this exam will be given housemanship post. This will happen soon.

Furthermore there may be a pay cut for doctors when all the post are filled. One of the allowance known as critical allowance of RM 750 will be removed once all the posts are filled. Critical allowance is never a fixed allowance and is usually reviewed every 3 years. As you know, the pharmacist’s critical allowance is going to be removed if not already.

I had one budding doctor who said that the reason she wanted to do medicine is because it is the only field where you have a guaranteed job and a starting salary of RM 6000. Well, I have talked about guaranteed job issue above but she is definitely wrong in stating that the starting salary. The starting salary of HO has gone up over the last 5 years; no doubt about it (please read my MMA article). However, the starting salary of HO currently is about RM 3500 to about RM4000 after including the on-call allowance. Remember, your salary only increases about RM 70/year. You will only reach a salary of RM 6000 after 7 years of service as a medical officer, when you are promoted to U48 according to current promotional prospect in civil service introduced end of last year! BTW, other than the difference of critical allowance, a doctor’s salary is only RM 200 more than a pharmacist in civil service!

2) Medical degree recognition

If I can’t work in Malaysia, I can go to Singapore or Australia to work, right?

Again, another misconception. Many do not know that medicine is a very peculiar field and cannot be compared to any other profession. In order for you to work in another country, your degree needs to be recognised by the Medical Council of the other country. If it is not recognised, you would not be able to work there. For your information, only UKM and UM degrees are recognised in Singapore.

Almost all medical degrees from Malaysia are NOT recognised elsewhere.Malaysia Boleh mah! Only Monash University Malaysia’s medical degree is recognised by Australian Medical Council and thus you would be able to work in Australia/New Zealand. Some of the private medical colleges do twinning programmes with external universities from Ireland/UK/India etc. These may be recognised depending on which degree and where you graduate from.

3) Housemanship & Compulsory service

I have mentioned a little about housemanship above. As you know the housemanship has been extended to 2 years since 2008. Even though it is good for your own training but it does prolong your future postgraduate training. After Housemanship you have to undergo another 2 years of compulsory service before you decide to resign for private practise or pursue your postgraduate degree. It is during this compulsory service that you will be posted to anywhere in the country.

Furthermore, housemanship is not an easy posting. Even though the numbers of HOs have increased tremendously over the last 2 years, it is still a very exhausting job. Many have had a mental breakdown during housemanship. I just heard of a houseman who is on psychiatric MC for the last 2 months! It seems she thought that being a doctor is just like sitting in a clinic and seeing cold cases (probably she thought she can become a GP immediately!)

4) Hard work and post graduate training

20-30 years ago, being an MBBS holder itself is good enough. You can easily open a clinic and become a GP and well respected by the community. But things are changing. Even GP practise is a speciality by itself in many countries (Master in Family Medicine/FRACGP etc). Malaysia is also moving towards that. Many patients are demanding and would prefer to see a specialist directly nowadays.

Thus it is important that when you join medicine undergraduate degree, please be prepared to continue your education for another 10 years after graduation! In order for you to complete your postgraduate education, it will easily take another 10 years, assuming you pass all your exams in one try! So, don’t assume your education is only 5 years! MBBS do not mean anything now, in fact it is only considered as a diploma!

Getting into postgraduate training is also becoming increasing difficult. The number of places for Master’s programme is very much limited in local universities. The demand is greater than supply and of course don’ forget the quota system as well! Other than MRCP (UK) – internal medicine, MRCPCH (UK) – paediatric and MRCOG - Obstetric, you have to depend on local master’s programme for your speciality. Thus, you have a very limited option. With such a big number of doctors coming into the market now, I can assure you that getting a place for post graduate education is going to be a major problem in 2-3 years time! Be prepared.

For Future Doctors: Housemanship, Medical Officer and Postgraduate Training (Part 2)

In this Part 2, I will write more about what to expect after finishing your 2 years Housemanship posting in Ministry of Health.

1) Compulsory Service

I am sure everyone knows about the compulsory service for doctors in government service. According to Medical Act 1970, a medical graduate has to undergo compulsory service with the government for at least 4 years. This includes the Housemanship which is now 2 years. This means that you need to serve the government for another 2 years before you decide to leave the service.

2) District/Rural postings

As I have said in my first part, after completion of your housemanship, you will likely be transferred to rural clinics or district hospitals. With the recent influx of large number of doctors, almost everyone will be transferred to rural areas, mainly Sabah and Sarawak. You can see this from various letters posted in almost every newspaper recently, embarrassingly by parents of “so-called” grown up doctors!

From my experience, district posting is a wonderful experience. Working alone without anyone to consult immediately, gives you a lot of experience. Remember, other than X-rays and some simple blood test, you don’t have anything else in these hospitals. Usually there will be about 3-5 Medical Officers (MO) in each district hospitals. When you are “on-call”, you are all alone and need to manage the A&E department as well as all the wards including obstetrics cases. It is really scary at times, especially if you are working in district hospitals which are far away from the nearest General Hospital. If you are preparing to sit for any exams then this is the time to do your revision as the workload is generally lower than in general hospitals.

The same goes for those who are posted to health clinics (Klinik Kesihatan). These clinics are usually situated in rural and semirural areas. Most of the time there will be 1-2 MOs in each clinic. The major bulk of patients that you see in these clinics are antenatal and outpatient cases. There will also be a lot of administrative work to do in these clinics including school visits, running various health campaigns and public health talks. In cases of any outbreaks, you will be called to assist in containing the outbreak. Basically you are the primary healthcare providers. Many doctors do not like the administrative work that they are supposed to do, and the meetings that you need to attend!

Even though it is a good experience to do rural/district postings, please do not stay long in these clinics/hospitals if you intend to do postgraduate studies. A maximum of 1 year should be adequate. The reason I say so is because you will lose the momentum to further your studies after some time of good life in these centres. Since the workload is lower, you will get carried away with relax life compared to your housemanship training.

This rural/district postings are usually given extra points when you apply for your Master’s programme even though it does not guarantee a place. At the same time you can use your free time to prepare for your exams like MRCP Part 1, MRCOG Part 1 etc etc. After passing your Part 1, you can request to be transferred to the General Hospital for continuation of your training. Again, this may become a problem in the future as the number of post may be limited and it may be increasingly difficult to get a place in bigger hospitals.

I think people who grumble about going to rural and district postings should just give-up medicine. If you choose medicine to help and treat sick people, then these postings is where you really see the real life of people. You will learn a lot about their social life and the struggle they go through daily which you do not see when you work in general hospitals. You will also realise that people here appreciate you better than urban people. I would advise each and every doctor to do rural/semirural and district postings for at least a year after completing your housemanship.

Next: Postgraduate training…………………

For Future Doctors: Housemanship, Medical Officer and Postgraduate Training (Part 3)

Let’s look at the postgraduate training in Malaysia. I have written about housemanship, district/rural postings and problems of oversupply of doctors in the near future. The issue of oversupply of doctors by 2015 will lead to another very big issue: postgraduate training. Many of the budding doctors and medical students are not aware that the postgraduate training in Malaysia has many limitations and problems. At this point of time, most postgraduate trainings are dependent on Master’s programme conducted by the local universities. Once upon a time, we were totally dependent on UK-based exams and training but unfortunately we lost it along the way. Currently, only MRCP (UK) – Internal Medicine, MRCPCH (UK) – Paediatric and MRCOG (UK) can be done in Malaysia. FRCS (for surgeons) used to be available to Malaysians but not anymore. None of our hospitals are recognised as a training centre for FRCS, which is now known as MRCS. Thus, for any surgical field in Malaysia, you will need to do Master’s programme!

MRCP (UK) – Internal Medicine

Membership of the Royal College of Physicians (UK) is a well-known exam all over the whole. It has a very strong reputation as an entry exam for speciality training in UK as well as in other parts of the world. It is conducted regularly, usually 3 times a year in various countries. Malaysia is one of the centres for the MRCP exams, all 3 parts.

MRCP Part 1 can be taken about a year after your graduation. It is a theory paper. After passing your Part 1, you need to clear your Part 2 (written paper) and Part 3 (clinical) within 7 years. It is usually coordinated by University of Malaya, where the exams are usually held. Just for your info, the passing rate for MRCP (UK) is always around 45-50% worldwide! You need to have a proposer to sit for these exams, who can verify that you have undergone sufficient training to sit for the exam. If you fail miserably, your proposer will be notified.

Since MRCP (UK) is not a specialist exam in the UK, the Ministry of Health, Malaysia only recognises and gazette’s you as a specialist after undergoing further training of 18 months post MRCP (UK). You will need to submit a log book and recommendation by your HOD before being gazetted. This rule applies for all other overseas degrees which include MRCPCH and MRCOG. You need to undergo this gazettement process in order for you to be recognised as a Physician by the National Specialist Register (NSR).

MRCPCH (UK)

MRCPCH is similar to MRCP (UK) but meant for those who wants to become a Paediatrician. It‘s examination structure is similar to MRCP (UK).

MRCOG (UK)

MRCOG has 2 parts but the second part has both written and clinical component. However, you need to undergo training in O&G department for at least 4 years before being allowed to sit for Part 2 exams. One of the major issues in sitting for MRCOG is the fact that there are not many MRCOG holders in MOH to sign as a proposer for you!

Master’s programme

Now, this is where a big problem is going to appear soon. For all other fields, you are totally dependent on Master’s programme. This includes all surgical fields. Master’s programme is a fixed 4 year programme.

In order for you to be eligible to apply for the Master’s programme, you should have completed at least 3 years of service with good SKT marks of at least 85% and above, recommendation from Head of Department and confirmed in service. You also need to attend an exam or an interview before being selected for certain disciplines.

The major problem that I foresee in the future will be the number of places that are being offered. As of this year, the total number of places available is only 600, all disciplines included. Imagine, with 6000 new doctors coming into the market every year from now onwards, only 10% is going to get into the Master’s programme annually. Furthermore, you must understand that the selection process is never transparent, the typical Malaysian scenario as well as the quota system! Most of it is done by the Universities.

The government is planning to increase the number to 800 next year but the situation is rather critical in the Universities as there are not many Senior Professors to supervise the programme. I must say that the standard of Master’s graduates have dropped significantly over the last 5-10 years. We have Master’s graduates who can’t do surgery but have passed the exams! I just hope that the Master’s programme do not become another “specialists mill” like our undergraduate medical schools!

There are 2 types of Master’s programme, the open and closed system. In the closed system, you will do the entire 4 years within the university, like in UKM Hospital, UH and USM Hospital. The open system may have various programmes, like 2 years in MOH hospitals and another 2 years in the Universities etc. You may even do the entire 4 years in MOH hospitals for some of the fields.

After completing your Master’s programme, you need to undergo another 6 months of gazettement process before being recognised as a specialist. Furthermore, you will be bonded for 5-7 years for receiving scholarship during the programme, which is compulsory!

Subspecialty training

With the advancement in medical field, every discipline now has subspecialty training. As such, everyone will try to do certain subspecialty after gazettment as a specialist by MOH. Generally, the subspecialist training is about 3 years except for certain field like Cardiothoracic and Urology which may take 4 years. Again, whether you get a place or not depends on availability of post and demand for that particular field. For example, the waiting time for Gastroenterology training can even go as far as 1-2 years.

Recently, to overcome this major problem, MOH has taken another step backwards. You can only apply for subspecialty training 1 year after you have been gazetted as a specialist. For MRCP holders, this means 2 and half years after passing MRCP (UK)!

Usually, the subspecialty training is divided into 2 parts, the first part (the first 2 years) will be done locally and the 2nd part (remaining 1 year) will be done overseas. The MOH will provide a fully paid scholarship for overseas training of 1 year but you will be bonded for 3 years. If you have received undergraduate scholarship and Master’s scholarship, you will be bonded a total of 20 years in service!!

Singapore

One good advantage that we have is Singapore. Unfortunately, only UKM and UM undergraduate degrees are recognised in Singapore. Our Master’s degrees are NOT recognised elsewhere. Thus, we would not be able to work in Singapore with any other medical degrees or even with our Master’s degree.

However, Singapore does recognise MRCP, MRCPCH, MRCOG and MRCS. Thus, if you have any of these degrees, it supersedes the undergraduate degree and you should be able to get a job in Singapore. Singapore is also a recognised centre for MRCS Part 3 training, which you can’t do in Malaysia. So, if you have MRCS Part 1 & 2, you can go to Singapore to finish your MRCS training and sit for the Part 3.

I must say that Singapore’s postgraduate training is more structured and organised with their BST (Basic Specialist Training) and AST (Advanced Specialist Training) programmes. I have written about this in my MMA article “Back from the Future: From 1st world to 3rd world”.

For all of you out there; budding doctors, medical students, houseofficers and medical officers; the future is very bleak for the medical field in Malaysia. The oversupply of doctors will get to you sooner or later. My advice to those who insist on doing medicine for passion is to choose an undergraduate course that is recognised internationally. Then, pursue a postgraduate degree that is also recognised internationally. If not, you will end up with a lot of frustration in the future. Jobless doctors in the future will be a reality!

A New Start

2011-03-25T17:26:00.006+08:00

Its been one and a half year since I last updated my blog. So I will briefly update about my current life to fill up the missing "spaces".

First of all, I'm kinda happy that I've completed my MUFY studies and got into the Monash University that I was aiming for since I started this foundation program. MUFY has been light and easy and time passes so fast that it ended before I could realize it. So far, its been pleasurable studying in Monash despite having a tight and packed life as I learn new stuff everyday and got inspired every now and then. I'm glad I've made a right decision to choose MBBS although I deviate a little before that as this is in fact what I'm longing for all this while.

The orientation week ( about 4 weeks ago >.<) have been an unforgettable experience to me. Located within a totally unfamiliar group, I found myself being weird and awkward. Introducing myself and knowing each other seem to be the "culture" of transition week until I got fed up with my own name. Later, with various of activities going on, our team start to know each other better and foster strong bonding between us (in fact we won 2 prizes during the transition camp xD) . I was impressed on how a bunch of total strangers could come so close together in merely 3 days 2 night period and become a team for the rest of the semester. Experience with the lecturers and our student guides are great too. They are being helpful in exposing us to the real world of medicine, the life long learning process.

The following weeks are filled with lectures, tutorial and discussions. Indulging myself in this tiring yet fun learning experience, there is some interesting events that I would like to highlight to share with all my blog readers ( if there are still some left >.<):

i) "The Super Size Me" movie. We actually watched this movie in our lecture theater during one of our tutorial session. The movie is about a perfectly fit young man self experimenting on himself by eating McDonald 3 meals a day continuously for a month. The effect is fascinating as we see the man's health dropped drastically over the period of time as well as increase in weight. The movie even showed us the surgical process they did on an obese man to remove the fat around his intestine and it is the grossest thing I've ever seen. So stop or reduce eating fast food as it really devastate our health. At least for me I will :p

ii)The Clinical Contact Visit. We were brought to one of the polyclinic in KL to observe how the doctors work and also to understand further the structure and facilities of the clinic. I expected the trip to be formal and reflective but what's surprising is that I actually witness a scene whereas the doctor that I'm observing was quarreling with her patients over the patient's health problems. She even refuse to talk to the patient after the quarrel. Personally, I think that it might due to her heavy workload and high work stress that overtime she loss her patience and temper or even her passion over her medical career. It makes me realize that certain doctors might lose their passion and dedication over time under the bad working conditions and certainly I hope that those "certain doctors" wouldn't be me one day.

iii) An Inspiring Talk by people with disability. Organized by our sociology lecturer, Dr Phua, we are honored to be given the chance to meet with these peoples in person and see things from their perspectives. It impress me a lot when I knew that one of those guest was disabled in the age of 20 when that's the peak of life for most of us and she accepted it with strong will and continue to live. Another guest which is born with William's Syndrome also gave me an insightful view of how talented a person can be despite of their learning disabilities as I see his hand dancing aross the keyboard followed by the sweet melody. It even impress me further when I know from his mother after the session that he learn by remembering the sound of the key on the keyboard and he could replay the song that he listen before without even knowing the notes. Pretty impressive for me ( who couldn't even play a single instrument properly >.<). It also reminds me of how determine and tough a person could be solely to continue to live. Its a shame that of us who is regarded as "normal" grumbles or even gave up life over tiny little matters whereas they never give up even tough they are continuously facing injustice, discomfort and difficulties in life. So, appreciate our life and always think of how fortunate we are. Don't take our body and mind for granted.

AFTER Petronas Educamp aka AduhCamp....

2009-04-15T14:01:00.052+08:00

DAY 1
7.30 a.m
my parent and I reached ABM (Abdullah Badawi's Mansion??)

haha...no la, it's Akademi Binaan Malaysia...

we then proceed to block C as instructed by the ABM security guard...

after a long and boring queue, I managed to check in at the temporarily counter set up by the Petronas officer's and moved to my "hotel" room at around 8 .45 a.m.

oops not this one...

is this one ...

In the room, I came to know two boys from St.Joseph, Cyril and Jonathan which were going to be my roommates for this camp...

after knowing each other and settling down our "luggage", we tidied up the bed which were previously dusty and dirty to make it comfortable for us to sleep and rest...

Cyril and Jonathan refuse to use the pillow provided as its is so dirty & smelly

8.45 a.m.
I accompanied Cyril and Jonathan to the canteen hall to have some food as somebody told us that breakfast was provided there, at first I expected the food to be something delicious like...

but what I found serving there was nasi lemak, packed in polystyrene box ...
haiz... luckily I had my breakfast (kolo mee XD) before I came so I didn't ate those nasi lemak...

9.30 a.m.
We went to the auditorium for the open ceremony of the camp which started at around 10 am...
The damn boring-and-long open ceremony lasted for about 2 hours...

first was the opening speech by the invited guest from Petronas company(forget the name as I was so sleepy in the air-conditioned room and didn't really pay attention) followed by two briefing about the Petronas sponsorship and UTP ( University Teknologi Petronas aka U TIPU)...

12.00 p.m.
We were given a short break to have our lunch and also say bye bye to our parents before the next event start...
started to feel hungry...
I rushed to the dining hall to have my lunch...
hoping that this time they will serve me something delicious to fill up my empty stomach...
BUT to my despite, they gave me curry chicken served in polystyrene box again...
swt... =.=

12.45 p.m.
after having the "delicious" lunch, we went back to the auditorium for another briefing about the Educamp schedule and the test & interview that we gonna face,

The test schedule for Educamp 2009:

12th April
Personality Test - 8.00 - 8.45 p.m.
Sc and Mx Test - 9.00- 10.00 p.m.

13th April(candidates will be divided into two session to sit for the test and interview)

Session 1 (Group A and B)
Interview - morning
English Placement Test (EPT aka English Pro-ness Test) and Critical Reasoning Test (CRT) - afternoon

Session 2 (Group C and D)
EPT and CTR - morning
Interview- afternoon

1.30 p.m.
we were dismissed to our own hostel to have a tea break and some rest before having the ice breaking activities at 3.00 p.m.
swt... as what I expected already... it's spicy stuff again.... mihun goreng pedas.... zzz

so one of my Sabah friend ( just know them a few hours ago but I forgot their names paiseh =x) came and asked me:

Friend: eh sarawak produce chilli one ah??
Me: err... no why you say so?? we do produce pepper...
Friend: then why every meal they serve here is spicy??
Me:....

after "enjoying" the spicy food, we went back to our hostel to have some rest as we were all kinda tried already after sitting in the hall for a few hours and listening to the boring brief....

so Cyril and Jonathan slept on their bed so soundly that they didn't realize that someone was taking their sleeping photograph silently while pretending to sleep...

*snoring*

*grinning*

3.30 p.m.
after preparing ourselves... we went back to the auditorium for the next event...

The Ice Breaking Event....

so we were divided into 5 groups... each group (consist of 24 members) was lead by a facilitator to a room to carry out the activities....

each of us were then given a piece of A4 paper and were instructed to draw our self portrait on that piece of paper...

Am I good at drawing?? =x

but after we finished drawing....

the facilitator collected our drawing and arranged them randomly... we're asked to select one of them but not our own one....

next we gonna try to figure out to whom our drawing belong to and ask some personal info about them...
their name, nicks, previous school, hobby , favourite food and dream occupation....

luckily I got a girl's portrait with a long hair...
yea easy one for me...
as there were only four girls in the room...
two Malay girl wearing tudung...
one Chinese with short hair and another with long hair....
obvious right??

so the session went on when every one had found their portrait's owner and gather their info...
then we're asked to introduce our partner to the rest of the members...
so cut the part short...

it was interesting as the QnA part makes a lot of fun.....
finished with this part, we then moved on to group activities...

each of us were given a motorcycle diagram with the parts labeled and functions given and each of us were require to choose one of the part which we feel that it's the most important part...

so I chose the brake....
and here goes the war of motorcycle as we gonna come out with the decision that which is the most important part in the motorcycle...

at first our leader who had chosen the wheel claimed that his part is the most important as a motorcycle can't move without a wheel...

but he was debated back as the "fuel tank" girl claimed that a motorcycle also can't moved without a fuel tank....

then "tyre" who was a friend of the "wheel" claimed that it still CAN be moved as bicycle also does not requires fuel to move...

and then the "carburetor" claims that he is important also as he is the place that the fuel mix with the air for combustion of engine...

KNN how can I lose?
so the "brake" boy stands out for his right and asked them that how do they suppose to stop their bike if it doesn't have a brake...
you wanna long piak ah?

so they debated me back that they could use their legs instead...

Nah! This is the result for acting clever and use your leg to stop your bike!


then it's the "seat" turn....
she said that the seat is crucial as we can't ride a bike without it...
I think she should take a look at these pictures...

do you think they need one?? =x

haha... so at the end of the discussion...
we finally came out with the decision that the kick-starter is the most important part as you couldn't "kick-start" your bike without it....
we thought it's the end of it but the facilitator suddenly told us that we have to chose another part that is the least important...

so I proposed that the "seat" is the least important and should be eliminated...
however some of them thinks that the "speedometer" is the least important as we could use our sixth-sense to feel the speed...
after some discussion, we finally decided that every part in the bike is the important...
so we told the facilitator so, but she told us that we MUST choose the least important part to be eliminated...
so having no choice and living in a country of democracy... we decided to use our goverment's method, "vote-selection" and finally the winner is "speedometer" who get elliminated... (I actually support that guy...sad T.T)

but the most annoying part is, at the of the session, the facilitator told us that actually we shouldn't eliminate anyone in our team...
KNN... I thought you are the one telling us to do so and keep forcing us to make the decision...
@$@#%#@%@#$%!

5.00 p.m.
so after we had "ice-breaked" ourselve, we were given time to had our dinner again before the exam starts at night...

WTF?? this time I was totally angry as they served me spicy food again...
so I decided to take a snap and let you all look at what I actually have there...

grr.. curry chicken rice again...

nah.. See the curry packed in the plastic??
swt do you think this is environmental friendly??
I know Petronas produces plastic but you don't have to be lidat lar...zzz
and please...
next time please serve me WHITE rice.... I don't want berwarna-warni one!
oops I forgot... no more NEXT time....

after dinner I went back to my hostel to take a bath...
when I notice this on my hostel wall...

lol, WTF? do you dare live at this f*cking place?

and underneath it I see this...

lol... speechless....
so we rest again in our room when Cyril suddenly called me while pointing on the wall...
he say he noticed something interesting...

lol, did you noticed it? the two switch is actually linked?? I wonder how do they supply electricity to the user?? or it's just a trick done by Petronas to test our observation?? hmm... *wondering*

7.30 p.m.
going to the auditorium to sit for the two exam... nothing much to say here...

the first part is personality test which requires me to arrange my interest according to the statements from the "most like me" to " the least like me"

than its the Sc & Mx test, however as I am offered accounting course, I only sit for the Mx test...

overall the Mx test is under SPM syllabus so there's nothing hard...
it's just that most of us had totally forgotten what we learn in secondary school as we already pressed the "delete" button after SPM so some of them didn't did it well...

10.15 p.m.
finished the exam and when back to bed...take another bath as we had been sweating through out the exam although we had it in the air-conditioned auditorium....

ohw ya... forget to introduce the toilet of our "hotel"

here is it... TA LA

place that I wash my face and brush my teeth

the toilet's main core, looks as smelly as it is with the spoil flush and the "gold"

the showering place... my special spot

the new skill I learned there... to hang your cloth without hangers xD

so after bathing, everyone went to bed and sleep as we were all extremely tired after sitting for the exam using our brain that had been left rusted for the past three month...

DAY 2
6.30 a.m.
I woke up as I 'm going to had my interview at 8.00 a.m.
the air is so cool and nice to sleep because of the heavy downpour last night, actually I still feel sleepy but the d*mn alarm forced  me to wake myself up...

do after preparing myself I went to have my breakfast again...

as usual again... ah get use to it liaw la... nasi goreng masak pedas...

not as spicy as the previous one... but still have chillies on it

8.00 a.m.
session A were called up to the interview room... while we (session B) remain waiting...

whereby session C and D were asked to go to the exam room for EPT and CRT...

so I just wait there for about one hour looking around while chatting with some of my friends there...

9.00 a.m.
we were called to the preparing room...

after waiting for about 30 minutes, we were given the case study of this session: "Advertisement"

in a group of four, each of us were given a different topic regarding the case study and require to prepare a 10 minutes script in half an hour...
so all of us focused ourselves on our part and scribble out our script in the A4 paper provided...

after that,we were brought to the waiting room where individual interview will be carried out...

as the lucky sequence number 3, I waited patiently outside the room while watching my group mate when into the interview room...

the two of them took about 10 minutes to present their task...

when it's my turn, I go to the interview room, knocked the door, say good morning and sit down when the interviewer asked me to do so
(yea I finally did it, actually feeling pretty sad as I fail to do so during my JPA interview T.T)

after self-introduction, I just blah blah blah presenting my part, and the interviewers just staring at me like concentrating on my speech,

about 10 minutes of presenting (kinda exhausting), I finished my part safely,
no M16, no shooting question on me...
@ @

Then, we were called into the room again for group interview,
we're required to come out with a conclusion regarding the best way to solve the problem,

so after 20 minutes of group discussion, I summarizes all the points given by my group mate and present a long summarized conclusion to the panel...

we were dismissed after this and all of us were feeling satisfied for our performance...

so that's the end of my interview for Petronas Sponsorship, simple, short and nothing much to say xD

11.30 a.m.
having lunch again, ah... really don't feel like eating it that time but what to do?? am I going to go for the examination in empty stomach??
swt... nevermind la last one already, just eat it and I will get myself some good stuff to eat once I go back home later...

yea... kolo mee!

rest again after lunch, sleeping... Zzz... Zzz... Zzz

2.00 p.m.
the tests begin!

1st is EPT, so JunWei the English Noobie was afraid as he thought the question might be hard and can't be understood by him...

phew... luckily it's just some grammar question that require us to choose the correct form of word to fill in the space in a paragraph... just testing your English understanding actually...

followed by part one of CRT (the hardest one... sigh)

In the test,we were required to read passages and then determine whether the statements given is true, flase or unknown... seems easy right??

but the problem is, you are required to answer 60 question in 30 minutes....

imagine you gonna read about 12 passages and then answer the 60 questions in just 30 minutes...
let me do some calcuation for you:

if u take about 2 minutes to read a passage, you will probably spent 12x 2 = 24 minutes on reading...

which means... you got....
6 minutes / 60 to answer each question or 6 seconds per question...

ohw ya forgot to calculate the time taken to read the question, a fast one probably take 5 seconds to read it I guess, so its one question per second...

can anyone tell me how on earth you could probably think rasionally in one seconds??

*Ting* TIMES UP before you could answer me...

the answer is NO...

but luckily for this part of Crazy Reasoning Test... I think I'm the luckiest guy in the world...
as the question sheet I got is filled with ANSWERS...

oh ya forgot to tell you they actually use the recycled question which they had used last year, they will ask you not to write anything on it but somehow some candidates get too nervous and forget about it,
so the lucky me with the help of the unknown previous-Educamper's answers manage to finish it on time!
haha... don't be jealous la... I know I'm lucky haha

haha continue on the part 2 of CRT test, its diagramatic question,
but most probably if you are smart enough you will be able to notice the tricks in some of the questions,

basically you will be given 5 diagram and ask you to guess the 6th one

example:

1st diagram is a square
2nd is a triangle
3rd is a circle
4th is a rectangle
5th is a square again
so 6th.. OF COURSE TRIANGLE LA

some of the answer will be shown in the 2nd diagram...

so be smart and fast as you have only 20 minutes to answer 40 of the questions which gets tougher as you do
(similar to the ASEAN scholarship test I sat before just that the ASEAN one is harder than this and they don't give tips in their question >.<)

after the exam, everyone of us feel relieved as its all over, but we are required to fill in the feed back form before we went home.... so I put average for most of the things in the camp but a bad for the food there (actually I wanna put terrible for it but there is no such column there for me to do so =.=) asking about my opinion about the most interesting thing in the camp, I put a "-" for it as that time I can't think of anything to fill in but somehow I was unlucky as one of the facilitator walk past me and SAW it... so he started the conversation with me:

Facilatator: wa, you don't find anything interesting in this camp??
Me: It's just mainly test and interview...
Facilatator: *stunted* yea very honest.. I like it...
Me:*in my heart* LoL he likes me??

5.00 p.m.

HOME...ROWR!!!

so in summary, basically the camp is kinda fun but just the food served is terrible...
here's what I've learn from the camp:

Before you wanna join a camp or any event organized by Malaysia government, PLEASE learn to eat curry, nasi lemak and other spicy food as I guaranteed they will serve that to you most probably
Don't try to out shine yourself in any event that you are participating like telling people your academic results or asking others' results as they might think that you are bossy ( some of my friends do tell me bad words about other campers during the camp)
try to make more friends during any events as it help to make the event interesting even tough it is actually boring and dull...

haha.. thanks to everyone I met in the camp for helping me through out the camp and also in making it interesting and fun....
thanks to Cyril, Jonathan, and Jason too(the only Highians besides me) for accompanying me these two days...
Good luck to all those who attended this camp in securing the Petronas Sponsorship...

***sorry for the late posting as I faced some problem signing in my blog for the last few days >.<***

BEFORE Petronas Educamp aka AduhCamp....

2009-04-10T19:04:00.011+08:00

It was Tuesday afternoon when I was chionging my Atlantika online level...
suddenly, the phone rang and my mum picked up the phone...
then she called me to answer the phone and said it's my call from an unknown company...

lolz...
at first I thought it might be a crank call to cheat my money...
I thought they might tell me :" Tahniah, anda telah memenangi sebuah ASTRO yang percuma dalam cabutan bertuah kami... blah blah etc "
(cant blame me la, Malaysia so much such cheating cases, through SMS or telephone, how I know.... the week before that I just received such call ma....I thought it is supposed to be checked online =.=)

Caller: hello, is this Mr Liew Jun Wei?
Me: err... yes I am..

Caller: we are calling from Petronas Sdn Bhd, informing that you are selected to attend the... err... err... err... (swt, she forget the name I think... I waited for about 15 sec while hearing her " err... err... err..") oh sorry... the interview....
Me: the interview?? (swt.. not Educamp meh?)

Caller: ya, if you are interested, you are require to come to.... *sound getting softer and softer* at 12 April before 8 am for registration...
Me: har??? (swt talk louder la, I can't hear clearly la... plus my mum was watching her taiwan drama near me... swt 3xx episod still haven till the end lol...)

Caller: ya, at akademi xxxxxx malaysia (swt the important part she didn't pronouced properly and all I hear is the mumbling sound )... near santubong there...
Me: okok.... err... the details I can check online right?? (feeling desperated and decided to check myself online haha.. more simple)

Caller: ya, you can check it online now... if got any question, you can call us at 0x-xxxxxx
Me: ok thanks, bye....

so quickly after hanging up the phone, I logged into http://spmonline.petronas.com.my/
but the site asked me to check from time to time to see whether I was shortlisted to EduCamp or not...
What the *censored*??? I thought she just told me that I can check the details online NOW
!@$@!$@%@#$%@$%

feeling cheated, I started to confirm with my friend to see whether they have receive such call or not...
asked Shuyi, Kai Xian, Pei Fong, Terence, etc ( forgot xD)
but all I get from them is almost the same :"har?? can check liaw har?? how check??"
swt... how come I'm the only one know about it? =.=

luckily, the next day the site is FINALLY ready for checking...
so I informed all my friends to check their application..
OMG, all of them get rejected....
I'm the only one shortlisted for the camp under accounting course...
WTF, so that means that I 'm going to SOLO next sunday
@ @ tiam lor...

but to my relief, my old primary schoolmate YuFul l tell me that Kok Liang is also going...
Phew... at least got a companion,
but my nightmare haven ended,

as I started searching recom.org for details, I came across this post: Educamp 2009

OMG I thought it was an simple interview camp... but it seems that it wasn't...
besides personal interview, we'll still be having written test,group interview, critical thinking test, and the WORST, debating and English Proficiency Test...

WALAO so many test... siao ah...
it seems that it doesn't fit to be called an EduCamp....
should call it AduhCamp...
haha...

so now I'm preparing to attend the AduhCamp..
certifying my documents, packing my stuff and blah blah blah...

so to others who are shortlisted to the camp also...
wish you all good luck and "enjoy" yourself at AduhCamp...

P.S: I heard that those who are attending are going to live in a hotel room...
erm... can anyone explain to me what is the meaning of "camp"??
aren't we supposed to build a tent and sleep there??
haha... better go ask Zee Ang aka PyPy
=)

2009-04-02T16:22:00.026+08:00

well haha...sharing some of my experience during JPA interview...

before interview... taken 11.00 am 2nd april 2009

I arrived at Pustaka Negeri at 12 pm... I met Kelvin and Kok Liang who had just finished their interview at the hall entrance once I arrived there. so I started chatting with Kelvin :

Me: hi! just finished interview?
Kelvin: hi! yea... just finish... yours is also today?

Me: yea.. start at 2 oclock....
Kelvin: haha.. you are too early liaw la....

Me: (swt... I also know... it's only 12...) haha.. my mum say she is not familiar with the route here so we come here earlier... so how's your interview?
Kelvin: you better prepare in Bm cause if you got panel 2 later... one of the interviewer will suddenly say " SETERUSNYA ADALAH DALAM BAHASA MALAYSIA.."

Me: lol... than how was yours??? (OMG.... BM... sigh... luckily got do some preparation... but don't know my Bm will be fluent enough or not)
Kelvin: haha.. good luck to you then... see ya....
Me: bye...

than I started wandering around at pustaka...
nothing to do cause arrived there too early haha..
luckily a moment later...
I met a guy dressed similiar to me.... means I finally got a companion haha....
he's a student from Batu Lintang applying for engineering course...
while talking to Willian (the Batu Lintang student)... I found that many of them started to arrive...
saw Whung Xiang and June...
and then something funny happened haha...

Me: eh Whung Xiang.. didn't know that your interview are today... why your sister didn't tell me??
Whung Xiang: I know you same day as me leh.. one of my friend told me...

(suddenly a group of scout approach us, taking an I.C with them)
Scout: erm.. is that yours?
Whung Xiang: yea, it's mine.. thanks a lot....

Me: walao you so careless... luckily they found it and return it to you... if not later you tiam lo...
Whung xiang: yealo yealo... so lucky haha

Me: haha (laughed at him)

A moment later....
a girl approaches me....
The Girl: er... I think this is yours ( handed me an I.C.)
Me: lol.. thank you...
Wiliam: see JunWei.. you drop your I.C also... (laughing)
Me: .... ( speechless)

Lesson learned: DO NOT laugh at other people as the same thing might happen on yourself...

haha so at around 2 pm... the urus setia started to call us to register ourself....
so I signed my name at the list...
lol then they straight ask me to take the name tag and go to one side....
OMG.. suddenly realised that I'm the 1st batch interviewed by panel 2 for the session...

so five of us (the only one I know in there is Whung Xiang >.<) followed the urus setia to a room... sort out the documents needed to give them and went to the room where panel 2 interview was held... when into the room.. the 3 interviewer were already inside.... well everything was not going as I planned to do.... This is what actually I planned to do after reading from A Big Thread On JPA Scholarship (My experience and tips) at recom.org:

1) Knock the door and ask before I go in
2) Shake hand with the interviewer
3) ask for permission before I sit down

but when we entered the hall.... none of the others same batch as me did any of the things mentioned above...
they just go in straight and sit down....
Lol.. what can I do??? do I have to be the odd one to do these stuff???
so finally I just go in and said good afternoon before I sat beside Whung Xiang ( well.. thats all I can do to show my politeness)

Luckily... the interviewer are also the nice one... they didn't take out their M16 and shoot at us for this..
They just smile at us and said :" Dun be nervous... I know you are all bright students... we just want to know more about you all..."
haha... that really calm me down a lot lol... haha they are not as strict as I think...

After that... its our self introduction part... so everyone started to blah blah blah about themself....
when its my turn... I tried as hard as possible to "introduce" myself to them haha...

Me: good afternoon sir and madam.. I am Liew Jun Wei... I come from Smk Kuching High... blah blah blah....
Interviewer: so do you play games?? ( er... does it related to my self intro?? I have no idea why they ask me this... haha)
Me: well.. yes... chess online haha...
(simply mention one to them... can't expect me to tell them : " yes I played DotA.... First blood.. HolyShit!!!" lidat ma.... if I did this, I'm sure they will kick me out ASAP..)
Interviewer: *laughed* (entertained by my answer I guess haha)

then we came to the general issue part... We were asked if we had the chance... what would we like to change on our school life...

after brainstorming for 2 minutes.. the interviewer asked us to answer according to our sequence...

so the 3 girl before me talked about how they wished that they can participate more active in sports and co curriculum activities.. one of them even mentioned that she will work hard to achieve better result as she only get 9a's and 2 b3 in her spm (lol... are you trying to tell the interviewer that you are lazy before?? haha)

lol... next is my turn... well actually I am quite satisfied with my school life... What should I change?? Zzz

so I began to answer them with my imagination...

Me: well.. actually I am quite satisfied with my school life... as you see I did quite well academically and also in my curriculum... BUT if you really wanted to me change my school life... I guess I would like to be more active in sports (copycat xD) ... as you see the only sport I take part is international chess.. and its not really a sport (lol WTF am I saying?)... I would like to play badminton maybe.... next I think I would like to reduce my time on playing computer games... *they laughed* (lol am I too honest or I said the wrong thing?) ... but I always try to control myself from playing games during examination period.. that's why I manage to get 12 a1s in my spm and I was quite happy with it... ( lol.. seems out of topic... but they don't really seems to care at all and smiled at me haha)

well.. later.. as what I've expected as Kelvin already reminded me... the Indian interviewer said to us :" SETERUSNYA ADALAH DALAM BAHASA MALAYSIA.."

then he started to ask us do we agree that corruption occur because of the power and responsibility given to someone...

well another five minutes of brainstorming... the interviewer asked us who would like to start 1st... so I raised my hand... and be the 1st one to start talking....

Me: saya tidak setuju dengan kenyataan ini.. pada pendapat saya.. walaupun kuasa yang diberikan kepada seseorang membuka peluang kepada seseorang untuk menerima rasuah.... namum sebab utama mereka menerima rasuah adalah kerana sifat mereka sendiri yang tamak... blah blah blah...

then... the girls started to talk about their opinion... all of them agreed with the topic... which make there are two side in the room: the boys (me n Whung xiang) disagree with the idea while the girls agreed with it...

but what I found funny is... maybe one of the girl did not listen to the instruction clearly... she answered it in English lol (what a funny one... can't she realised that I am using Bm to answer it previously... why she still use english to answer?? haha as what chinese saying goes : " 女人心海底针..." )

after that, the interviewer look at the clock in front them and said:" well... seems like we still have some time... so I will ask some general questions..."

Interviewer: "so if we offer you the course, but in local university, will you accept it?"
Me: "err... yes" ( of course yes la... who will be so dumb to say no to them... to show that you are choosy?)
Interviewer:" if we gave you the course oversea... but not the same country as what you applied... will you accept it?"
Me:"yes.." (what to do?? of course say yes lo... zzz)
Interviewer:"so if we offered you other course, will you accept it?"
Me:" depends... if it's the course I am interested in.. I will definitely accept it..."

well... after this... our interview ended... I went home after saying : " thank you," to the interviewers....

well... what I draw from my experience here is... the interview is not as tough as I expected... the interviewers are kind and even crack jokes with us....

before I forget.. Thanks to Whung Xiang for accompanying me during the interview.. I feel lucky as we are grouped together... at least I will not feel so stress as I have a friend to share the tense with me haha....

well.. good luck to those who are attending the interview tommorrow...
stay calm and don't be nervous...
=)

2009-04-01T09:37:00.009+08:00

JPA interview test @ @

2009-03-29T18:59:00.010+08:00

wahaha today I finally completed the JPA interview test....

as I mention recently you will needed to answer 2 sections in the test....

a total of about 527 question.... in 2 hour and 15 mins ( WTF?!!! Siao ar.... you might be thinking of this right?)

but once you open the test...

you will say :"Cheh!Lame..."

it is just some yes or no question... you might probably spent at most about 10 seconds for each question....

but dunno why I still got friends asking me that how to do the test... isit hard?? etc.... =.= ( dont tell me you dunno how to answer yes or no oh.... even a 3 year old baby can already do that lar)

section A is just mainly asking about your personality...

etc : kamu suka berbincang tentang sex ( who will admit it?? Zzz... of course NO la...)
kamu menghadapi masalah dalam percintaan.... (do you??@ .@)
kamu seorang yang diminati ramai.... (say YES if you face is thick enough =p)

blah blah blah....

section B is just a career test to test that whether you really interested in the course u choose or not...
its easy la...
just answer according to your interest enough ( I m sure everyone applied the course they are interested in right?? if not why you apply for it Zzz)

haha so go and do your test before it is too late...

dont do it on 6th April oh... cause I m sure all those who are "scare" to do the test will do it at the last minute and if you answer it that time you will sure say :"LAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG....."

than you will sure start cursing:" !@#!@$!@#%$@%$^$#^"

than you will see this "MASA SUDAH TAMAT DAN ANDA GAGAL MEMJAWAB SOALAN-SOALAN DALAM MASA YANG DITETAPKAN"

too bad it is just some easy yes or no questions and you cant even finish answering them...

I did it in just 45 mins for both section... what's so hard haha
=)

I had been so foolish, falling in love with someone I knew so close. Perhaps my haste was spurred on by some unseen force, or my own refusal to live without someone else in my life. Maybe I hurried because I knew I did not have much time until I was forced to live with so much regret. Perhaps I was still too immature for something like a relationship, still too naïve. I should have known better, someone as perfect as her did not exist. There was no such thing as love, only pain, and the barbs it left to grow on the soul.
Maybe, that’s what love is. Not finding the perfect person, but loving the imperfect for who they are. And that is why it is so hard to find...
