Despite the odds, I am feeling beyond blessed to be the one chosen. Yes, God opened the door! He will make it straight I believe. Faith instead of doubts. Because faith is all we need. :)
Till then!

Mini Shell Recruitment Day (Shell Malaysia MSRD)
Hello everyone.
Feeling so relieved as the interview is finally over. During the interview some of the interviewers were a little bit surprised that the format of the interview for the SRD is available on blogs online. However, this will not reveal everything worry not. It will definitely show the format/timeline of the SRD I experienced.
So we were called to be at Menara Shell by 6.45 am. The program was set to be until 12pm. Miss Doria and Miss Siti greeted us before 7 and they told us to register, First we were registered into visitor IDs. We have to go through safety protocols. After everything was cleared we were invited into a meeting room. 6 of us. I was the only girl.
The first person I met while waiting was Nicco. He's a Sabahan born in Labuan. Currently in his first year at UniTEN studying Electrical Engineering.
Then Hafiz came, he was Philip's schoolmate - SMK Melawati if i'm not mistaken. He is currently on break I think, applying for Geo Science in Colorado/Nebraska, USA.
Samuel Soh is a first year student at Imperial College, London studying Mechanical Engineering.
Roland Adrian, undergoing his ADP hoping to transfer to the States to study Mechanical Engineering.
Last but not least, Thafiq from UTP (Universiti Technology Petronas) first year first semester. Afterwards there was another session but we didn't get enough time together to get to know them.
Anyway when we were assembled in the meeting room we were instructed to read a 9 page case study. We had 45 minutes to read through. We were a team of 6 interns going off-shore. 6 things were taken into consideration and we were give a huge sum so we had to hold a meeting to agree on how to allocate our finance.
We had a little break while waiting for the other interviewers to arrive. Meanwhile we had breakfast prepared. Manage to talk to one of the panel - Mr. Harriah, He was very open about his experience. But anyways, back to the meeting. We all introduced ourselves and then the "meeting" started, It only lasted for 25 minutes. It was generally just a discussion.
Next for my schedule, I was assigned for the individual case study presentation. We were given a few options of increasing production, saving cost etc and we were asked to present it to the "Project Manager" for 15 minutes. We had 45 minutes to prepare/read up.
I got into the room Mr. Harriah was in and after my "Analysis" was done he really hit me with though questions that made me think. This was during the 10 minute Q&A session. But I managed in the end.
Later on I was given 45 minutes to write on a piece of paper to ask a question that I would ask in an actual meeting if I were to execute the plan above (referring to the analysis I just presented). The paper was divided into 3 parts: Questions, Explanation, Rationale (I THINK). Not very sure already.
Finally, the last stage was the personal interview. I got two very nice interviewers. They asked me:
Quite an experience I must say. All the best future applicants!

Shell Scholarship Malaysia 2014
Hello everyone, since other blogs have been so much help to me I will update mine too. Just a little something to help applicants for future shell scholarship applications. (International application)
The whole process can be found on the shell website here.
On the 16th of April i received an invitation for the online assessment. Due to some complications I was not listed for the phone interview, or it got postponed i wasn't sure. But a few months after April I found out that they were postponing the scholarship interviews till after Raya. I received the telephone interview on 15/07/2014. She scheduled for an interview the next day.
The telephone interview:
The format this year defers from previous years. More personal and slightly simpler, dare I say? First she asked for my biggest achievements. Then she asked about the challenges I faced while attaining the achievement above. Next was the biggest change I've experienced and how I've handled it. Then there was the motivation. What motivates me in life? Finally she asked about my career goals - why do I want to work in the oil and gas industry?
Here's a recap:
Hoping for things to fall into place. Been so busy with work. Yes I am actually working and it can be quite intense at times but I love the environment so I can say I am no longer lazing around! Heres to trusting God! I got accepted into 1/3 Universities today. Still waiting for two more, but I am already overjoyed!
