MARA essay

            Lets I introduce myself. My name is Muhammad Adham Bin Azlan Hadi Tan and just finished my school lesson at Sekolah Sains Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah Pekan. Praise to Allah because I got a likely good result. Sincerely, I was not expecting with my result that I got as I did not get as many A+s during I was having monthly examinations at school. I kept working hard till the public examination of Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) came. I do my best and gratefully, I got what I wanted. 

            During school time, I am an active student. Even though I have involved with many activities, I still can maintain my momentum in studies. I always become the top student in my previous school although I had to fight with lots of excellent students there. When I was in form four, I was being selected by the school to attend Science, Engineering and Innovation Competition for national level. I had represented my school for this kind of competition in these two years time. I had invented three gadgets which was Cigarette’s Smoke Detector, Bio-coagulant from Hibiscus and Biodegradable Plastic. Gratefully, I got bronze award for the first year and silver award for the next year. I also realized that I am a creative person as I managed to invent or build up the three gadgets successfully. Besides, I had represented my school in Handball competition for district level. Thus, I am not just good in academic but also excel in co-curriculum.  

            Moreover, I managed to handle many programs inside and outside school. First, I was being sent by the school to primary school all over Pekan, Pahang Darul Makmur. I got a task to give some moral values and knowledge to the students. In fact, they were enjoyed with the activities that I had done. Inside the school, I had handled an event with my housemates and these brushed up my confident, time management and leadership skill. As a result, I became a more discipline man and, be sure, I can work in an organization. In addition, it had improved my communication skill as I had to discuss with the administrators, teachers and school’s staffs about the programs.

            Achieving my ambition to be a doctor, I had involved a program, Budding Docs, which was cooperation between my school with International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM). I was very impressed and excited because I saw a cadaver by my naked eyes for the fist time. I had a chance to see and learn the part of organs of human in reality. Other than that, I also had given permission to see moving sperms under a microscope at the fertility centre. I deeply thanks to the school, especially biology’s teacher by doing this program.

            Proceeding to planning studies, I want to further my tertiary study in Ireland, of course. I already do some research about the university in Ireland and I found that lots of Malaysian’s students that was studying medicine over there. Furthermore, there are many Malay’s people that staying there and this makes me released to stay in other country with different culture and society. I am not telling that I cannot stay in United Kingdom or other than that, but I actually admired to study in Ireland since I was studying in lower secondary school. This hope made me to work hard till I deserve to grab the chance study in Ireland through this scholarship (MARA). Before I get there, for sure, I will follow up the program- International Baccalaureate at Kolej Mara Banting for two years. Then, I hoping that I will do my degree in Ireland. As I come back to Malaysia, I will not end my study with only degree instead I will further to get master and PhD. I choose MARA not JPA or any other scholarships because now they are not sponsoring students to do medicine study in overseas. I desire to keep a dream to study in oversea because I want to open my mind on how other society’s life. I want to learn good thing from them and vice versa. At this time of generation, we, Malaysian people especially me has to grab this chance wisely as it is the way how we want to enhance our country. MARA does not give free loans in return convertible loans as the way to burn up the excellent students’ enthusiasm to maintain our excellence.

            Why I am choosing to study medicine course? An answer comes out will definitely because I want to be a doctor. Yes I am. I love to be a doctor because I want to fulfill my noblest intention to assist patients that needed help. Moreover, medicine is one of the most critical courses in Malaysia. People are saying that this study is tough and needs a lot of sacrifices. If not me to take up this challenge, who else? As I read up newspaper recently, it mentioned that ratio of doctors to patients in Malaysia is 1:905. This problem obviously makes the services neither at hospitals nor clinics to become slow motion. Patients need to wait hours of time for their turn and it will bother our country economics. People have to off a day to see doctors whereas it only takes five to ten minutes for medical check up. To be clear, I actually want to be a surgeon that specialized on circulatory system of human. I want to master on that because heart disease is the most dangerous disease that bring people to death. Heart diseases will lead to various kind of other diseases such as hypertension, stoke, heart’s cancer, diabetes and even blood cancer. If I take heart as my major study, I definitely can learn not only heart but also lungs, hormones, blood, muscles and nerves. After I finish my degree, I ready to be sent by government to anywhere as long I can reach my aims to help and give a new lease to the patients.   

~just for reference~

MARA interview

hahaha...especially to those just receive their SPM's result...u'll definitely want to know about how the scholarship's interview going on~MARA,JPA,PETRONAS...n so on...

i'm here want to share with u how MARA's interview,

for me~2011 SPM candidate...i went for that on the year 2012...for this year, it was grouping...WOW! before the day i went for the interview, my feeling was in the good mood and I feel afraid. I had read some of the statement at the SBP'94 group on FB. They shared some tips, like..

• do some research about the background of MARA
• practice your English
• get along with the questions like your experience,etc

i'm not really remembered . That day, my sister(NORASYIKIN) brought me to the interview. I eally appreciate on what she had sacrificed to me. URM! Likely 9.15 a.m., I arrived at the Kolej Poly-Tech MARA Bangi. It just located a stone throw away from my sis office...HAHA! ~be there earlier~ 

Okay. Let me tell you from the beginning I entered the building till I went out. Of course, you will meet with security guard as you entered the gate. You will probably ask, "Erm, assalamualaikum, tumpang tayaer,,,interview kat mane yer". Something like that. They absolutely will help you but only the parking part was the only truth they told. After my SIS parked her car, we did not knew where we should go. After 10 minutes walked I thought, we got the place. 

For the information letter I got, it mentioned that the interview will start on 10 o'clock and you have to be there 30 minutes earlier. What the HELL is, the registration session started 9.30 a.m. sharply.~macm la org mlyu nie tpt sgt mase,,,koya jer lbh~ HAHA!

Forget about it, after register, you have to be friend with your group members absolutely. Don't be so arrogant and smile all the time. My group members were Asyraf, Hareez, Daniel, Ashraf, Wani, Alia and Maizurah. Nice to meet them. They are really friendly and talkative. Then, we were being called to panel 9 room. Scared. By the time, my sweat drenched my whole body. So stressed. 

The interview session went on...As I entered the room, I saw two women and a man were sitting on the chairs. HAHA! they were the interviewers. I wanted to laugh as I saw one of the women interviewer was looked like my teacher~CIKGU ZAIMARWATI. hihihihihi. That interviewer started to open her mouth and asked us to get the task papers on the table. Then, she read the task word by word. So serious. 

The task is,

you as a doctor, you have to choose either the 20 years old patient or the 60 years old one. When I listening     

on what she was reading, I'm not understand what she want sebenaryer. Then, we divided on to two group. Each  group for each patient. I was in the group that doing for 60 years old patient. Okay. The patient was a businessmen and had contributed a lot to society and country while the 20 years old patient was an outstanding college student.We started to discuss. But, my teammates were not serious and keep laughing all  the time.

See that both pictures. Which one you want to give the treatment first. After a long time debating between A and B, we concluded that we want to help both of the patients. For that, you have to us to be the doctors to achieved what the WHO wanted, doctors to patients ratio, 1:400. HAHA! the interviewer laughed for that conclusion. By the time for individually, SHE asked me about the PAYMENT. WHAT! and she was laughing to me. So am I. HUHUHUHU! What I had said, all the things that nonsense. Haiya. 

Okay. That was my experience. How about you! Actually, Mara interview was not same all of the year. You have to prepare all. For the previous year, the task was~ you have to build a bridge using spagethi stick. Nad for the last three years, it was an individually interview. 

In the nut shell, be smart and do not feel to excited. Just relax and face it calmly. Don't be to emotional during the interview session. 

I WISH YOU PEOPLE THAT WISHING  MARA SCHOLARSHIP, YOU HAVE TO GET WELL IN YOUR SPM EXAMINATION AND DO UR BEST OR THE INTERVIEW!

GOOD LUCK!

~hoping that you will pray for me to get the scholarship for me to further my studies in Ireland~

exhausted night

waiting for 5 month if not mistaken, my second sister was safely married to one guy. family of the guy were staying in a hotel which I had worked at there for 2 month-Centrepoint Hotel. the name of the guy is Zul Fadli.people keep calling him JOEY. He had a big family. Aroung 50++ people that came to my house on the night before the wedding day. That night, we ate a very delicious cuisine which is "ikan talapia bakar", pumpkin and salted fish. 

ikan talapia bakar~sedaphinggamenjilatjari

gulai lemak labu

are u know that the food that being served are not enough for them. They said "Wow, how delicious this food, may I get more." That time, all people were in the doubt mood. What we want to do-something like that. HAHAHA. The matter that made laugh that my cousin said that " ikan talapia is the most popular fish in Pahang. In this case I definitely not eye to eye with  my cousin bcos the most expensive fish in Pahang is ikan patin~my friend's name crossed in my head~.

nevertheless, I realy enjoy and appreciate that moment as the ceremony was done for me~Majlis Kesyukuran for my flying colour result in SPM~.
