Since my
proposal was on industrial development, I equipped myself with the historical
and latest figure of our country’s GDP and relevant aspects of industrial
development in Malaysia.
I went in
with another candidate, who planned to further her study at the local
university. In front of us were three panels with different background and
expertise, and the questions were…. quite provocative. The only female panel
keep asking on who will take care of my child, whether I will attend the class
should one of my sons fell sick, how my husband will keep up with four kids and
why can’t I just study at the local university. I also tried hard to justify
why and how my undergraduate degrees in architecture (yup, two degrees) could
help in my Master in industrial development. There's a will, there's a way.
Two of them
really pushed me to pursue my Master at local university because I have four
kids (or they were just provoking)
while one was very keen of me going abroad – yes, you, Dr. Fuad!. They
said they will give me conditional approval – I have to get accepted to an
outstanding university – or else just pursue my study in Malaysia. I don’t know
whether it is a yes or a no, but I started working hard on my statement of
purpose afterwards.
