Interview PTD

Finally, penantian n teka-teki mengenai tarikh interview PTD berakhir~

Yesterday, check website SPA. Dah display tarikh interview.

To be a bit shocked, my date wuz so early. Rather than others on 3th,5th,6th March etc..yg laen sume ade 1 month to go so thay hav extra time to prepare~

Mine?

Well, this is the details;

Date: 24th Feb 09 (Tuesday)
Venue: SPA Interview Hall, Putrajaya

Erm awal kan?Few days je ni~ Pheww~~

Tarikh ni mmg first day of PTD interview week that take course within that week and another week (early of March).

Tapi aku redha and tawakal je.

Awal pun awal la. Nev mind~

Janji nak prepare btol2 spy dpt hadapi intrvw ini dgn sukses~ Aminn~

N 1 thing is, this date falls on my dad birthday! =)

Ystrday kat umah pun he said, "Mudahan2 sempena hari jadi ayah, boleh bawa rezeki and luck utk Angah".

So touchy but happy to hear that. Thanx Ayah~ Syg Ayah~

This is the last stage I have to overcome after I done with 2 earlier stage - the exam and PAC - mcm cite kat my last entry.

Doa for me, k peeps?Thnxalot~

Pasni makin bz la aku nampaknye..

Nak wat yg terbaik.

Ganbatte Honey~~

Thanks God.. Against this greatest pleasure and good fortune~

Alhamdulillah.

Aku check kt website SPA semalam. Check for the PTD (PAC) result.

N thank God, I passed the assessment.

I felt the mix-up feeling.

Happy + tak sangka + proud + terharu

Alhamdulillah, syukur sangat2.

Rase nak menangis pon iye. Flash back, few days (weeks instead) before the real PAC I am so messed up.

Fikiran serabut. Hati tak tenang. Banyak benda kena pike. Banyak bende kne wat. Kne settle.

1 day before PAC lak, aku sakit. Tak sihat.

Time tu rase nak nangis je sebab tak prepare ape lagi pun, padahal sok nye aku ade pertarungan sgt penting - the PTD Assessment Centre (PAC) - 11 December 2008 (Thursday).

1 nyte before tu pn cube nak tido awal, x boleh sebab fikiran tak tenang n bercelaru.

Nak bace newspaper knon2nye nk get track the new issues for me to prepare myself for the PAC. Tapi tak masuk sangat pndlm kepala otak. Sebab tengah pening pale + tak sehat.

Otak+ badan penat sgt, tapi mata tak boleh lelap. Dan ntah pukul brape baru aku dpt lelapkan mata.

Akibatnya, esoknye aku bgn dlm keadaan tak ckup tido. Tapi kuatkan hati n semangat. Semangat untuk menghadapi PAC hari tu melebihi segala-galanya. Nekad untuk wat yang terbaik.

N after abeskan assessment 1 ari tu, aku hnya mampu menarik lafas lega sebab aku yakin da lakukan yg terbaik. Aku hnya mampu berdoa n bertawakal utk hari2 seterusnya.

Mlm after aku abeskan PAC tu, something happened kt dlm umah aku. Melibatkan satu family. N peristiwa tu mmg tak dapat aku lupakan sampai bile2. Hanya Tuhan je yang Maha Mengetahui segalanya.

Esoknye (Jumaat) aku jatuh sakit. Sebab berhari-hari da aku force myself to the limit. Setelah berhari-hari bertarung dengan akal n fikiran dengan bebrapa hal yg datang n menyesakkan kotak fikiran. N setelah aku paksa diri aku kerja teruk2. Setelah aku tahan diri aku, force diri aku untuk bertahan sampai la abeskan battle PAC.

Natijahnya, aku jatuh sakit. Demam. Tambah dengan sakit2 badan after melalui fitness test PAC yg aku ley cakap agak 'mendera' gak. Hari tu aku terpaksa ambik MC untuk rehatkan diri yg tengah 'kesakitan' ni n nak settlekn 'something' yg sgt urgent.

Oh ya. Boley bace entri aku psl PAC yg dah aku lalui di sini.

Dan Alhamdulillah, hari ni aku mampu tersenyum puas, bangga, gembira dan penuh kesyukuran.

Aku da lulus PAC hari tu, even i'v b'n thru all those hard days.

God, thanks the pleasure, thanks for the fortune, thanks for fulfill my Doa.

Tapi aku taknak overjoy. Taknak happy sgt. Taknak riak.

Ade 1 stage lagi kene lalui, stage paling tough that is Interview.

The interview will b around this coming Feb. Perhaps so. This is as b'n mentioned by 1 senior PTD officer who give briefing in our last PAC @ Intengah.

Always expect the unexpected.

Aku nk wat preparation awal. Walaupunsgt2 bz skrg ni.

Kje melambak-lambak. Saba je la.

Aku akan berusaha wat yg terbaik untuk interview yg akn dtg.

Promise myself.

Thanks to all PTD seniors who always give some guidance a bit. Thanks for the precious advice n tips.

Thanks to Mama n Ayah who always pray for my success n wisdom.

Thanks to all my frens who always support me n pray the best for me.

Gudluck Azra.

You can do it.

PTD Assessment Center (PAC) - The Experience

11 December 2008 (sorry i am quite some days lett out writing this in my blog) - Well this event happened pn 11th Dec 2008 ok!

Hari ini merupakan hari penting bagi aku. Iaitu the PTD Assessment Centre (PAC), penilaian tahap kedua utk memasuki jawatan PTD dlm kerajaab after exam on 23th August aritu..

Alhamdulliah aku da lulus exam PTD - 23 Ogos yg lepas.

So hari ini adalah PAC - penilaian kedua. Registration supposd to 8am - 9.30am. Tapi aku sampai awal lebih kurang 7.30am.

Erm semangat pn ade, ngantuk pn ade sebab mlm td aku tak dapat tdo. AKu klau nak menghadapi hari penting memang susah nak tido. Lagi satu problem aku klau badan da terlampau penat pn susah nak tido. Semalamnya (Wednesday) aku penat giler menguruskan satu hal penting. N sampai ke mlm otak aku still ligat berfikir beberapa mlsh yg dtg sejak akhir-akhir ni. Tapi mls nak pike byk2 mlm td, baek pike hal esok, tapi aku nak study paper pn (knonnya nak study current issue prepare to public speaking and so on, ni xtvt yg dorang spot la akn dibuat time PAC) tak boley masuk, otak da penat, tapi mata tak bley lelap. Nape la? Aku tak ingat pukul bape last2 aku tertido n pagi td aku bangun awal giler dlm 630am siap-siap nak ke PJ for the PAC.

Ok back to the story, sampai je kat INTAN WILAYAH TENGAH (INTENGAH), PJ hati aku berdebar-debar, semangat ade, excited ade, mcm perasaan ade. Tengok da beberapa org da smpai awal gk cam aku. Sempat borak2 n berkenalan dengan candidate laen.

Kul 8 pagi - start registration - tag aku No.69 - actually sume candidate akan ditagkan dengan nombor masing. Dan fasi/evaluator akan panggil kami dengan no. kami saje bukan name.

After regstrtn, ade sesi fotografi ikut no. giliran. After that taklimat pasal post PTD. N SPA juga telah announce satu berita baru lagi mengejutkan, iaitu PTD intake starting 2009 onwards adalah dilantik secara kontrak selama lebih kurang 2-3 tahun, dlm after tempoh itu perlu melalui beberapa requirement cm Psikology Test, head of department recommendation, 2nd PAC n ujian lain before diserapkan ke jawatan PTD tetap. Pendek cite tempoh kontrak itu same dgn probation period or tempoh percubaan mcm yg ade kt most agency / company. Bayangkan la baper banyak stages yg perlu ditempuhi before betol2 layak jadi PTD yg btol2 PTD. N format baru ini adalah arahan dr KSN kite sebab maybe ade aduan kate PTD sebelum-sebelum tidak berkualiti n tak layak n whatsoever la, pastu senang-senang naik pangkat.

Meaning here, format pengambilan PTD telah diubah 100% to more complicated+strict+transparent. perhh, susah kan?

Apepn we just accept la ape yg dorg dah plan utk kite. Maybe they all buat ni after high consideration+ good rationality. Wallahualam..

Nway aku nak share the story of being in the PAC. Mase tgh line up for registarion, terjumpa my old-skool-fren, Melle or her real name Farah Malissa. Serously for years never met up with each other. She's still she is. I have some short conversation bile ade gap sebab die tak same grup ngan aku in all the activities.

Well the actvties for this new format PAC divided into 3;

1) Intellectual Group Discussion - English Talk - we'r give a topic n to discuss this topic - time ni aku teringat cam group discussion dlm MUET - ala2 camtu la, the difference is this discussion is within quite numbers of discusser - up to 10 people

2) Debat Ala Parlimen - Fasi bagi satu topic yg ade contradiction - then ade 2 group, 1 group as pencadang, the other as pembangkang.

3) Physical Test -

First - TARIAEROBIK- i big group diberi 2 songs, then kene pike step for the tariearobic n hence to perform it. Part ni mmg enjoy tapi kene make sure group to syncronize n sepakat dalamsetap gerak tari.

2nd - Ade 5 fitness test yg perlu dibuat dengan kiraan yg banyak. Time ni ramai collapse, pengsan, n surrender. Alhamdulillah aku dapat wat samapai abes. tapi after actvty je mmemag saket la otot peha n betis aku. Naseb baek aku da jogging n training few days before PAC, kalau tak lagi pancit or even injured. N seb bek aku sport people, tau la kaedah2 yg btol utk wat physica fitness tu spy tak injured.

Pengalaman: Mmg manis n tak dapat dilupakan. Tapi sebab PAC kali ni da bertukar jadi 1 ari je, yg tak best nye x dapat la nak knal ngn rmai cndidate n yg dpt knal pn x lame la..

Komen:

1) Ape yg aku dpt katakan aku da lakukan yg terbaik, pasni doa je banyak2.

2) Ikutkan task n aktiviti die simple je tapi yg buatkan PAC kali ni tough ialah calon-calonnye terdiri dari org2 yg hebat, dan masing berusaha nak expose diri, masing cube nak jadi paling bagus.

PAC kali ni mmg beri seribu satu kenangan buat aku. Semoga aku berjaya dlm PAC ni.

Result kuar bulan depan. Cuak la jugak. Huhu~ ;p

I Pass The ExaM!! Alhamdulillah..

On Monday, Nov 4th 2008 I clicking on my PC keyboard.I simply wondering whether the PTD's exam were out. Entering my IC no. and pressing enter button, I was amazed with the word displayed on the screen. I pass the exam!! I am speechless for couples of minutes. Unbelievable bcz to pass this exam is not that easy! Lotza people used to passed the exam after several times repeating the exam. Thank God! Alhamdullillah for ur bless and chance to me. I asked severals of fren who I know had taken the same exam on 23 August 2008 as well as me. All failed. Miracle! Why me? I just so thankful to Allah and congratulate myself for being blessed for this. Congrat Azra!

Bdw, here's the first terminal. It is a long journey to go. I still have another 2 milestone before I can really been declared as PTD.
1) After this those who pass the exam has to go for assessment centre for 3 days. There, they will assess us based on several criteria.

2) N' those who passed the assessment centre will be called for interview. If you pass this interview, then u are the real selected PTD.

Well, I really2 happy for my exam triumph. But I confess to feel nervous for the next assessment. Who would it be? N.. I'm in dilemma afterwards bcz I look my life upfront after this in 3 ways (this is wut I wish + look + plan for):

1) Further my Master (this is my really ambition..kill me babe!)
2) The PTD
3) Stay at where I am - (I love my job now becz the environment, frenz, flexibility, and trust of people towards what I am doing..)

Whateva it is, I'l try my best for this PTD assessment. Gudluck Azra!

Families N' Buddies..Pray for Me!!N Allah please show the the right path to go.
