Petronas Interview Experince

Today, my blog post gonna be something unique which is a non-green one after all these environmental-related posts, I thought of giving em some break ;) So it's basically about my interview experience in Universiti Teknologi Petronas which is located in Tronoh, Perak. Previously,I didn't knew that such place existed! Anyways, it's a two-day experience with loads of test and interview as well. Well, the first day was slightly boring and  we had this opening ceremony of our Petronas EduQuest camp in the morning and briefings in the noon.The lunch was pretty good and we were got to go to our rooms. My roommate was an amiable, well-mannered Terengganu guy who studied in MRSM Pengkalan Chepa *name is kept confidential*

Then later at night, we had our first test, Maths n Science(MST) and we were tested on Physics, Chemistry, Add Maths and Modern Maths.It was kinda easy and thank God I remembered all the formula.That wrapped up day one as we had our supper and went to our rooms. My buddy,Yuvinraj was there too and we chatted at the cafeteria after the test.

 Day2- I woke up around 6am, took bath with the freaking cold water, get dressed up and went for my breakfast.Later on, I took the bus provided to my interview hall....oooppsss forgotten..the breakfast tasted really, really @$$#@#$! In the hall(more like a big room), we were grouped and given the case study on genetically modified food(GM Food)! I was like*what the heck going on here*...We had to present the topic individually and then followed by group discussion.It went on well and group members agreed to come up with a superb conclusion regarding the matter( the topic can be elaborated here but I'm just too lazy)...and that's it, so-called interview ENDED..D.O.T!

In the noon, I headed to the exam hall and had a few tests including English Placement Test,Critical Reasoning Test and Verbal Evaluation. CRT test was a little tricky and time provided was inadequate. Can you imagine answering 40 CRT questions in 20 minutes..And for those who are interested in what is CRT is all about, please kindly google.*lazy again for me to explain* :P The tests ended around 4.30pm and it's time to go HOME!!!

Advice: So for those who went for Petronas interview or will be going in the future, all the best, give it a shot and see how it all goes.The library was freaking awesome, huge,amazing...bla2 and sadly,I didn't have to chance to go it. That was how it all went although it wasn't in detail here.Adios =)

Nuclear still Unclear O.o

Hmmm... I am finally back to update my blog; not from any splendid vacation to Venice but just a short break*approximately 3 months* lazying at home! Gosh,I feel like I've just finished my SPM and it's April already!=.=! plus today is 1st April and luckily, I didn't get fooled by my buddies=)

So today,I am gonna talk about some happenings in the world especially about the recent 9.0-magnitude earthquake in Japan which left massive destruction and the nuclear crisis which made this a twin disaster.Till today, the cooling systems of the reactors are unable to function due to the temblor as the authorities have to use seawater to cool down the reactors to avoid meltdown which occurred in Chernobyl on 26 April 1986...meltdown occurs when the uranium rod gets too hot and melts besides explosions due to hydrogen build-ups...too much facts huh??

One of my friend told me that I could have aced EST after reading my blog...LOL

Speaking about LOL, do you guys know that the word LOL which is the abbreviation for laugh out loud is in dictionaries now..O.o..unbelievable..ok, that was for commercial part and coming back to our story, the million dollar question is that do we need nuclear energy in our country? Aha...From my point of view, one fine day, all the natural resources will deplete which include natural gas, coal and petroleum and what will we be using to generate electricity?Renewable energies such as solar which is the most potential one in Malaysia can only generate little energy and consumes large space to place solar panels..but we must use think out of the box approach to handle this situation... all buildings can start installing solar panels to maximise the energy production besides minimising carbon emission.

We can start having our nuclear plants as the technology advances to develop the reactors to be more stable, secured and safe...It is zero emission and the half life of uranium-238 is 4.6 billion years although radioactive wastes must be disposed in proper ways..but look at the bright side, technology will advance, whether we like it or not, and we must embrace this fact or be left behind; facing and dealing with the associated risks and should be part and parcel of our technology-dependent lives...

Hopefully, one day the matters about nuclear will be cleared eventhough I am being pessimistic about it:( never-ending drama! Looking forward to see one of these below in Malaysia soon:)

Going Green

Lately, green technology is gaining momentum in the world regardless of any sectors.Social activists, politicians,environmentalists, students and many parties are looking forward to a much green world and the transformation is currently taking place.

Hmm... Where should I start from? Have you pulled your car to the gas station lately and been shocked by the high price of gasoline? At times, you would have thought of trading your car to get better mileage. Perhaps, you are worried that you car is contributing to the greenhouse effect! The automobile industry have the proper technology to address these concerns.


Yes, exactly the hybrid electric vehicle(HEV)!Frankly speaking, I have only a rough idea of how this car works. Interested in learning more about hybrid cars, just google it. Talking about hybrid cars, Toyota Prius third generation is expected to top the market as it is claimed to be more powerful, has clever-high efficiently tricks , blablabla....etc... So being Eco-friendly, support hybrid cars:)


Penang government dropped a bombshell to all plastic bags manufacturing companies as starting 1st of January 2011, everyday is no 'Plastic Bag' Day! This drastic action is indeed a laudable move it is another initiative to achieve a green-themed state. I support this!!! Anyways, we should not be surprised by this action because there are several countries in the world which have implemented this before, Germany for instance!! Don't be upset or angry, instead be proud as we are on the right track to reduce carbon emission because plastic bags are NOT BIODEGRADABLE.


Have you guys heard of Effective Microbes(EM)?

This microbes are actually created by a Japanese scientist which is dubbed as a magical enzyme. Let me tell: We can use EM to clean river in a form of mudball, cleaning dishes in the form of solution and etc... The image below is the picture of mudball. Again, Penang goverment used mudballs to combat pollution in the Juru river and Pinang river>>>>

Overall, when we speak about going green, we have to practice green too. Mahatma Gandhi once quoted, be the change you want to see in the world... So practise the followings:

1. Say NO to open burning
2. Use water wisely
3. If possible, try collecting rain water
4. Reuse waste water from laundry
5. Switch off electrical appliances if not in use
6. Practise car-pooling

Guys, that's all I can possibly think right now :) Go GREEN
