Well,the day had come.The day I sat for my assessment test at Malaysia Flying Academy(MFA).As I'm from Kuala Lumpur,I went to Malacca a day earlier.Drove there and checked in the Equatorial Hotel.Took a little nap then hit the swimming pool!Well,then I went to Jongker Walk for dinner.The place is happening thou.Later at night I started revising for the test.
Well,for me the notes given were very simple.I thought it won't be that challenging during the test.People kept telling me not to worry about the test as it should be easy.Well,I wanted to be extra careful so I simplified the notes given to me.I wrote pocket sized notes.It helped a lot.I kept on reading and writing till midnight.Then I hit the sacks.
My alarm rang around 6 a.m.As usual I was lazy to get up but I had to do it!hahaha. Anyways,I took my shower,head on to the breakfast buffet.I literally wasted the buffet.It was a all-you-can-eat thing but I just had a plate of noodles and chicken.Oh GOD!I wished I had more time.Then I took off with the car to MFA.The journey didn't take long.As I reached there,my heart was beating fast.Nervous!Then I marched into the gates of hell.Hahahaha.Just kidding.Then I meet some guys who were supposed to take the test too.We were introducing our selves to one another.
After the introducing formalities we headed to the Admin Office.On the way we saw cadets walking around with their uniforms.We were like"WOW!!".That's so cool!We can't wait much longer!Hahaha.Well,I got to admit that the cadets look smart.MFA's new buildings were nice!Makes the spirit of learning better.As we went to the Admin Office which was at the Old Building that time,we meet Ms.Airin.Then we went to the meeting room to settle the documentations and etc.
The formalities were all done and it's back to serious business.Time for the test.I had 3 hours for 3 papers.One of the instructors there briefed us about the test.It was physics first,followed by Mathematics and lastly English.As I opened the paper,I got excited.I could actually do the papers!It was easy lol!But for some guys they were scratching their heads off.Well,they must have left Physics and Mathematics for a long time.Don't give up guys!I did 3 papers in 1 and a half hours.So,then I exited the classroom and headed back to town for lunch and checked out from my hotel.
By 2 p.m.,I was back at MFA for the results and my interview.Well,I had to wait for 2 long hours for my interview.My thoughts were wondering what's going to be asked and the most important of all what were my test results.Finally after 2 hours I got called in.I was the last one to be interviewed.Went into the room with an innocent look.Introduced myself and then they bombarded me with questions."WHY YOU WANT TO BE A PILOT?""HOW DOES AN AIRPLANE FLY?"WHY NOT OTHER PROFESSIONS?"ARE YOU WILLING TO SCARIFIES FOR 18 MONTHS ? AND BLA BLA BLA.Well,I think I gave them a good show.They were impressed with me.The questions I got seemed easier compared to some of the other guys.
Then after that I went to see Ms.Airin about my test results.Guess what?I scored 100% for English and 95% for both Mathematics and Physics.Then,I was a bit heart broken as Ms.Airin said that the February intake is full.Lalalalala.The next possible intake was April.Without thinking twice I gave the cheque of RM65k.I didn't want to loose the spot!After that I drove back to Kuala Lumpur with a happy face!Yahoo!!!

ReplyDeletecongrats... mind to share your experience in the interview session?
well,it's a very simple interview.They'll ask questions like:
ReplyDeleteWhy do you want to be a pilot?
Why not other professions?
How does an airplane flies?
Who's going to sponsor you?
Then they'll ask you to read an article and they'll ask you to explain to them.And many more questions.They are very sporting indeed if you give them a good show.
I could get 100% for all.
