PTD Assessment Centre (PAC)

Just got back from Kluang last night.. 3 awesome days at INTAN Kluang..

The assessment started on the 15th but I started my journey to Johor a day before.. I went to Akis' house in Muar.. Actually, that was my 1st long journey trip alone.. ;B I'm such a loser.. I haven't been out of Selangor that much (except for going back to Kelantan to my parents' hometown).. I'm a daily school product, I did my Matrix n my degree in Bangi, so Selangor is where I've been living all my life..

Went to Kluang with Akis.. Akis' dad drove the car. Her dad (a PTD as well) is very friendly and funny ;) Arrived there at 10.. Registered ourselves at Dewan Jemerlang.. (Why is it Jemerlang instead of Cemerlang, I have no idea) Everyone's wearing a number..All the participants were known by their numbers..I was participant number 99 and Akis was number 100.. Nice number isn't it? Anyway, the chalet rooms are unexpectedly beautiful.. Similar to a 4* hotel room.. Unfortunately, I got the old building's room. not bad though.. Fully air-cond, complete with my own bathroom, telly, iron, ironing board, electric kettle, fridge etc etc..

For 3 days, I felt like I'm in a reality show.. I think, most of us were trying so hard to be someone else, some may be faking.. Anyway, can't blame them, for we had to show the best in order to compete against each other..

We had 7 activities in 3 days.. Decision making, problem solving, public speaking in Malay and English, parliamentary debate.. and 2.4km run. I managed to get below 18mins for the run.. Yippee..!! For each activity, we were sorted out in a different group, so we won't be meeting the same person.. At the end of the day, we got to know almost everyone in the assessment..

Actually, on Saturday, Sis Yanti broke the news. I got the offer for Food Tech Officer under the Ministry of Health.. Alhamdulillah.. I'm so thrilled till I felt like I no longer want to be in Kluang.. But the secretariat advised me to stay and enjoy the weekend there. And so I did.

I finished the whole assessment with lesser burden on my shoulder because I care less about getting a spot as PTD. Unable to proceed to the next stage won't be too stress anymore..

The management people booked the ticket for everyone who's going back to KL by bus.. I think the bus was booked just for us.. Quite a lot of us come from KL other than Johorean.. Talking about husband's candidate, I didn't manage to get any.. *Laugh*

But I enjoyed looking at the good looking ones *Wink* (There's this guy look like Anuar Zain!!! and this chatty guy at the back row whom couldn't stop talking. Nasib muka jambu) I haven't been in any serious relationship for quite a long, long, long, long time.. I even forget how it feels like... ;)

Overall, it is a good experience.. Something I won't forget in my whole life..

Right Akis? Wish you all the best on your next journey to become a PTD, Akis!!!
