ACD As It Happens...

0005hrs: I went to bed after a short revision, hoping that I could get a good night's sleep

0215hrs: I woke up. I was like WTF? baru pukul 2?

0430hrs: I woke up again. Whoaa, this ACD thing really messed up my sleep! dammit!!

0550hrs: Woke up 30 mins earlier than I should. Went straight to the bathroom (typical pre-assessment/exams nervous breakdown routine). After the morning bath, went for another short revision (minus the TV!)

0810hrs: Arrived at office. Went straight to print out the self-assessment forms (which in the end are not used...crap..)

1030hrs: When to the 'supposed' assessment venue. Turned out to be a different room (2 rooms with similar names)...double dammit!

1055hrs: Arrived at the correct venue with 5 minutes to spare for extra oxygen to stimulate those brain neurons.

1100hrs: Let the humiliation and embarrassment attack begins! Two assessors were there, an SM of Exploration Division, and a maintenance manager. Judging by the words coming out of their mouth, they sure are experts in their field. I was there for like 2 1/2 hours, and there are plenty of emmmm, hmmmm, ahhhh...alamak I forgot moments. But it didnt turned out ALL bad! There are questions which I managed to answer (or rather respond and give input to). And the assessors are not really freaky, they have the tendency to guide me to the right answer to their questions. Let's not forget that there are finger foods and fruits served, and they were eating while asking me questions (I just don't have the appetite as they are having). Time really does fly slowly during that moment.

1320hrs: At last, I'm done! banyak jugak kena fire ngan assessor, soalan maut2. And in the end I was like, ahhh let's think about it later...What a relief, it feels like some really heavy burden has just been released from my shoulders, hahaha...But i heard that 2 1/2 hours was not so bad (or maybe it's because I can't answer a lot that the session was shorter). I was informed that there are sessions which lasted up to 4 hours (3 hour typically). And suddenly it came to me, 'Actually how well did I do just now eh?' Well, we'll see the results in a week's time, perhaps?

Till the next post...
