Aim: To Get That Freaking Scholarship and Swept My A** Off M'sia

Result: Undefine (not looking good)

Moral of The Study:

It a sad tale of a Malaysia desperately wanted to get out of his country.

I've applied for this particular scholarship in April, two months prior. The good luck charm kisses when I received the letter from S'pore Ministry of Education in order to take 3 test to assess my ability. Test involved including Math, English and General Ability.

The math test in general is quite hard. It involves certain question which is out of our syllabus (yet) and of course some are purely head cracking. On the other hand, I found the english test quite mind opening. Its not hard, but education. The context coined depicts authors view on sexual equality which rarely were discuss within our nation. Question asked would challenge student in a very wide range. Should one excel, he or she must have decent vocabulary, textual sensitivity and ability to adhere what the question asked for (again, unlike our country who demands repetitive writing).

One more exciting test would be the general ability paper. For those who are still perplexed by the test, it actually means IQ test. The test is mainly on visual spatial and graphic sequencing which are my favourite and i do think i've done a decent job. However, corresponding to how i did in my math test, the chance of being granted such pretiguous scholarship would be negligible. But if it is so, i will also be delighted. There it goes, shall the better one wins (again and again, unlike our country).

The aforesaid pertain, why would a healthy, normal citizen aspires to get himself out of the country, the so called peaceful and harmonious country. It thus has digged in the functionality of a system. Punctual, prompt we craved for had indeed perfectly executed by the Singapore authority. The way they scrutinize the whole examination is worth praising for. Not only did they be able to achieve their goal with minimal delay, they have also set up a margin of loss to cover up any flawed time management. Which in contrast to our country, it is pure disastrous.
