Interview for dummies

Kali terakhir menjalani temuduga ialah lima tahun yang lalu, segerombolan pelajar KMPP mengembara ke ibu kota, untuk temuduga ke Ireland. Balik tu sampai demam-demam. Esok ada interview, setelah sekian lamanya. So malam ni kena prepare untuk jawapan-jawapan yang biasa.

1.       What do you see yourself in 10 years time?

I see myself as a woman with a complete family, living with my husband and 2-3 children. As for my career, I should have been a senior doctor in a field that I am interested in, probably a registrar, but hopefully as a consultant.  

2.       Future career plan?

As for now, I am interested to further studies in ophthalmology but I think it is unfair for me to decide now, as I haven’t really get the full exposure in other specialties. I am also interested in endocrinology and geriatrics. Perhaps I will make up my mind when I do housemanship. [merepek habis…]

3.       What do you think of one Malaysia?

Well, I think it is a good concept, every leader should come out with an idea or vision, in this case I believe that our prime minister is trying his best to please the Malaysian and gain the trust from us. [a tricky one, I dare not to go on further …]

4.       Chikugunya?

Chikungunya fever, is a viral illness that is spread by the bite of infected mosquitoes. The disease resembles dengue fever, and is characterized by severe, sometimes persistent, joint pain (arthritis), as well as fever and rash. It is rarely life-threatening. Nevertheless widespread occurrence of diseases causes substantial morbidity and economic loss. Treatment is supportive and symptomatic, patient is expected to recover but covalescence can be as long as 1 year. No vaccine. Prevention is important. Caused by female Aedes!!Most cases reported in Sarawak. Penyakit Chikungunya ini pertama kali ditemui semasa wabak demam di Selatan Tanzania pada tahun 1952. Ia kemudiannya merebak ke Asia, India, Eropah dan Amerika.

Nama 'Chikungunya' berasal dari bahasa Kimakonde, yang bermaksud 'keadaan membongkok' yang disebabkan oleh sakit sendi yang teramat sangat bagi pengidap demam Chikungunya.
