Bristol Interview

Sorry , people . I still haven't collected enough pictures for the post on my birthday surprise . Wait for a little longer ya ..... Meanwhile , I went for the Bristol interview last Thursday . This is what happened ......

Reached Bukit Nanas Station from college - Starting to rain - Scared later the water-soluble gel on my hair dissolve - Run to Renaissance Hotel - Sweating like crazy - Image all gone - Went to register - Realised I forgot to photostat my SPM cert - went to the hotel office to do it - Charged me RM1 for 2 pieces of pathetic papers - Sam Tong - Registered successfully - Waiting for interview - Very sien - Play hand phone games - Friends sent good luck messages in between - Replied them and thanked them - Wait some more - And some more - Almost felt asleep - Suddenly my turn to interview - GG .......

Here are some interesting things they asked ( Please note that there are 2 interviewers - one watched while the other asked . And their British accent was very strong .... Imagine how much I struggled to process what they asked and act as though I can understand their accent very well ..... ) :

" You mentioned about the discovery of microorganisms and the development of related antibiotics and drugs being one of the major breakthroughs in the Health care sector . Can you name me a disease which was once a threat to us but is totally eradicated today ? "
' Stupid me go and talk about microbiology ... my weakest part .... '
( Act natural )
" Well .... I think one of them is Tuberculosis .... we used to be in fear all the time because of this disease but now we don't hear about it at all ..... "
( Whew ..... that was close .......)
" Very interesting example you gave . I was expecting small pox , or even hepatitis .... "
( The other woman interviewer interrupted ... )
" But recently there was a TB outbreak in India . Do you know why TB is still haunting us despite the variety of antibiotics available ? "
( Crap .... never read newspaper ..... die la ,,,,,,, blog some more but never update myself .... she could have asked me about ANTM or something like that but ....... haih ...... )
" Erhem ! "( Think too long d )
" Err ... well .... I think it's because the hygiene standard in India is not as good as ours ? "
" Interesting , but unfortunately not so .... It was the resistance development in TB bacteria. "
( Ouch .... that's it .... How could I forget about this ? Gone d ....... )

So , in a nutshell , my chances of getting into Bristol is -1 . Those who study S3 will know that there is such thing as negative probability ..... Good luck to me .
