How I ruined my interview - part 3

Session : Problem Solving

Place    : Room 5

Time     : 3.00pm - 5.00pm

After we finished the Pengucapan Awam Session, we had to wait for 15 minutes before we go to the next session. Actually, we have to wait for the earlier group to finish their part. 

So, as we enter the room, there already 2 panels sit in fronts with a moderator who will facilitate the session. Those guys who is the facilitator already give us a direction how to do this session. There no right or wrong answers. The things that we need is how creative our thinkings and there must be a strong reasons behind our perception. Perghh..that time i feel a little bit challenging as the way we thinking on how to solve the matter will be the crucial time and i think we should think differently in a logic ways (or as rasional as i can). 

For the first session, we need to design an aeroplane that can fly as far as it can go. (Haha, this task i think familiar with everyone. As the result based on group decision, we discuss the design even we know the result already.Haha, this how we try to impress the panels by doing a group discussion before we going to decide the design that represent our group. 

Finally, everybody in our group make a shape of sphere (almost) just like the u.f.o (unidentified flying object) as that the ways the 'aeroplane' can go farther. Me is exceptional. Even i`m agree with group decision earlier, i try not solely follow the instruction. Perhaps, there a trick that lies within the instruction that will trap us back at the end. So, i decide to do a design that look  alike  a plane. So, at the end our group has diverse design of plane. Haha. after we were given 10minutes to discuss and design. The facilitator told us to fly our own plane. haha. Nah, my plane were the worst one as it only 'fly' just about 1.5 metre compared to others. Ok, the sphere airplane were the farthest plane during that task. Its ok as the result were based on group and not individuals.

Then, we were given the task about the moves of stick. If you remember the matches`s stick movement trick, you will survive this task easily. Thank to God, as many of us contribute the ideas to get the result. At this moment, it very important for you to take part, SHOW your contribution during the discussion. In my group, there such like an agreement as everyone tolerated by giving everyone to speak out and telling the ideas. So, everbody will get the points by the panels. Either high or low the marks given depends on how creative and structured the ideas that you give. Haha. Ok, that my own perceptions on how the panels judged us. For this stick-move task, you will be given a few trick that you have to solve. So, be prepared.

Lastly,the task that require us to make a tower that hold the Malaysian flag- Jalur Gemilang. we were given a few stick, a rope and the flag. There one condition that we have to follow:- we cannot touch the stick to make it stand with flag on it. Okeh, for this task we failed to think differently as we take this task in conventional ways. For the time given, we devide into 2 group that make the tower`bases or platform and another group try to tied the flag to the stick. Okeh, 20 minutes to make the bases and tower, 5 minutes to try it, and another 5 minutes to present it to the judges and facilitator. Walaaaaa! we make it! the tower stand for 5 minutes, the judges satisfies, the fasilitator smiled, we also smile in full satisfaction, from ear to ear. Hihihi..

Okeh, we fullfill the requirement but the facilitator tell us the other method that we can use. Nahh, we just stared deeply into him, questioned him back, tell him that the method he just proposed actually break the condition that he actually stated earlier. Haha. you trapped! He just smile and pretend that there no wrong answer in stead of different ideas. Nah, the session going smoothly and here, we already know. we had a chemistry in our group. Hehe. now we know we strong in group, comforting each others, supporting everyone and we dare for challenges!

Next: orang putih-to-be session. Public Speaking Session!! walaweh...
