THE LIFE & TIME OF THE FADZELS

HEY GUYS! I am excited about this post! Finally, after a few months of thinking out loud and thinking again with sweet chubby hubby, finally, we are going to do it for real this time!!!

I remember my final examination paper. It feels like it was just recently that I sat for my clinical psychology paper. It seems just yesterday that I was still a student learning psychology. That was two months ago. Today is nearing the end of March. Which means that it's SALARY DAY TOMORROW! If people ask me what I want, I think I can give a straightforward answer, assuming that I have the means to do. But, I NEED help. I need some input on my future since I feel that there is no 'light' in my future. Option A: Further my studies Get a masters degree and then probably a PhD. My passion lies in the field of forensic psychology. But there is no course here in Malaysia. So I will need to go overseas, I have already applied for Masters in Forensic Psychology at the University of Kent, Canterbury, UK. They reviewed my application and I have been invited for an interview. Before that I need to make sure that my degree is  BPS-accredited which means money in pounds 😭 I h...

It freaking sucks. You feel lonely. At first you felt like a caterpillar in your uni years and approaching the final semester you are a cocoon and finally a butterfly ready to spread its wings. But, imagine, you are the only butterfly among the caterpillars and now you wish that you'd rather be a caterpillar among all caterpillars. That's how i feel, metaphorically. The job market for psychology majors are really limited edition. There's not a lot of jobs that is specifically designed for psychology. I believe you count with own bare hands. And if there were any jobs, you need more qualifications because your first class honours degree is just a piece of paper. Then, there's the other case where people around don't know about psychology but they think they own about it. People believe what they want to believe. People rather turn to the interesting and sensational information rather than listen to you. Things like the EMOwave, (read everything about...

Finally, after 3.5 years I achieved what I sought out to achieve during my first year in IIUM. My mentor asked me what my goal in terms of GPA was and I said without thinking too much 4.00. He told me to be realistic and I told him that I will prove him wrong (paveolitely, I hope :D)  FYI: that lecturer became one of my favourite lecturer and mentor hokay... Anyway, back to why I am writing this post. Someone, an acquaintance asked me how I did it.. To be frank, I seriously do not know any answer to that. People think I have some sort of trade secret in the education department.  So i told hubby what this person requested for. And i said what do i say? He replied, don't say don't have anything... blah blah blah don't give him the crap that you don't have any tips. so i replied something I hope will help him.  But tonight, I am thinking really hard in terms of advising my juniors and future juniors in taking charge of your education in your own hands...

Disclaimer: Post ini untuk tujuan memberi info tentang interview SPA mengikut pengalaman saya. Boleh buat rujukan tapi perlu ingat temuduga berbeza-beza mengikut siapa yang menduga. 1. Interview is conducted in English (Alhamdulillah, ALLAH sgt mudahkan) 2. My interview lasts about 10-15 mins while others may vary from 30 mins and above. 3. The panel interviewers are SPA officer and the departmental officer, in my case, pegawai JPA. 4. The panelists were very warm, especially the SPA officer who is an Indian man. 5. The SPA officer asked the questions first: a) so you're married? b) where is your husband working now? c) do you think that when both of you are psychologists is it a good thing or bad thing? d) if you have a client u don't like, what will you do? e) what if there is a conflict of interest whereby you have to serve someone you know (relatives and friends)? 6. Then JPA officer tanya: a) Where did you do your internship? b) What is your projec...

Tak dinafikan setiap orang ada ujian sendiri.  Ujian yang berbeza-beza.  Malah ada juga yang diuji dengan kebaikan (banyak duit) & yang lain pula diuji dengan keburukan (sakit)   Apa yang aku nak cerita.. Biar diabadikan di sini. Sebab hati sangat sakit. Aku buntu dengan ujian sendiri, Siapa sangka seorang bapa boleh balas dendam dan buat macam ni pada anak sendiri? Jarang orang tahu kisah aku.. yang mungkin terbelit-belit. Orang nampak mcm ok tp hakikatnya semua yang berlaku sekarang tak ada satu pun yang okay... Aku ngaku yang aku memang tak kuat nak harungi ujian ni. Aku kena bayar RM110k kepada jabatan pendidikan/kerajaan (TIDAK DINAMAKAN).  Bayangkan kau kena bayar gantirugi RM110K. Atas sebab apa? Sebab perasan dendam seorang manusia.  Mana aku nak cari duit? Aku dibiayai kurang dari RM110k, malah kalau nak kira.. RM20K sahaja untuk dua tahun sepanjang aku belajar .  Sakit sangat hati. Do i deserve this? Am ...
