We skipped class the whole day to do our research and prepare our resume for the interview(lesson learned from Stage 2). We left school at 12 p.m. and arrived at the towers at 1 p.m. And again we we're early. I'd scribble some stuff with the supplied stationary and we went to perform zuhur prayers while Faris(MRSM Langkawi) watched our bags. And we came back to see that everyone is already there. I miss them somehow. I mean, we've known each other during Stage 2 and it's like a reunion or something. No need for introduction :D 6 from KYS, 1 from MRSM and the rest is SBP-ians. Wow, there was like 19 of us from the 86 in Stage 2.
Stage 3 is basically an interview with Khazanah's Director, Mr. Azman. It's a seven minutes interview with three questions. We were given some time to think about it. Fortunately, this time I'm on top of the list because of my name -.- I managed to get the story of only one guy and then it was my turn.
- Talk about yourself.
- Choose one current issue and how it EFFECTS YOU.
- Why you deserve this scholarship.
The rest was history. I went back to the waiting room to continue chatting with the rest of us. We played a lot of crazy things while waiting each other turns. Even when Afar was done we still stayed back because the teachers were having their hi-tea that day. So, imagine what 17 year old teens who don't go out much with a big board exam coming just around the corner did in a small corporate building waiting for an interview for their future? We partied. Surprisingly. Even when there's only stationary and a lazer pen. I mean, Dzul(KYS) brought his junior's laptop and even played a game of rugby on it. Like he knew there's nothing to do. We wiped the refreshment table clean(I think) and wished everyone good luck when it's their turn. And goodbye was hard again. All in all, it was a day to remember. Despite of who would qualify to the next round.
And that was as far as I went for Khazanah. I didn't get chosen to the last round. Afar did though and we're so proud of her. Out of 19, 7 was chosen. 3 girls and 4 boys. The last stage is an interview with the Board of Directors. They met Tan Sri Azman, the Managing Director of Khazanah Bhd. Quite casual, I heard. Hopefully, they'll all succeed.
Everything happens for a reason.
