My AFS interviews experience...

Hi guys, i've just finished my AFS interview today which is in JPN Perak, Ipoh.
To be short, it wasn't really a big deal since i'm done taking only around 5-10mins.... Which totally differ from the time i took to get to the venue(6 hours+1hour of lost)DX.
I took an overnight bus from Kelantan to Ipoh from 12am till 6am, took a bath in the bus station and prayed Subuh there. Then i went straight off to the venue with my sister's friend, but we ended up getting lost instead.
And yea, i got a stomachache atm(not nervous, just that i haven't eaten anything since i reached Ipoh DX)

Alright, let's start from the beginning.

INTERVIEWERS

*enters after knocking the door

May i have a seat?

Ah yea, you may.

So, express yourself to us.

My name is <my name here>, i'm 15-years old. I came from Tanah Merah, Kelantan(they kinda looked amazed after i said Kelantan). I'm... a...well...kinda...hmm...(i dunno what to say atm, i think i got stuck for about 10secs b4 i continue babbling about myself)... Ah yes, i'm a person that prefers to not to blend with the community as i prefer to be alone. But i do join the community sometimes so that i could do something beneficial for the community.. And yea, i'm one of the Student Representative Body or in other words, "Badan Wakil Pelajar" in my college as the Communication Bureau.

Okay, tell me about 5 costumes of different  races in Malaysia

Well, we got Malay here in Malaysia with Baju Melayu for the men, and Baju Kumbang... Oh wait, Baju Kebaya for the girls.. Then we got Cheongsam for the Chinese woman..(and they asked me"chinese men also wears cheongsam ka?")... i don't know about that, sorry. We also have the Indian woman wearing Saree and the men with their Dhoti. Then we have the Sarawak races which is Kadazandusun wearing.... those feather thingy on their head... I dunno the name, sorry. And also, we got the Christian wearing casual clothes or you might be able to find sisters or nun around the church.

Tell me about your Co-curriculum achievement in your college.

I've attended the MRSM Se-Malaysia Jambori Pengakap... and others 

I see, so what are you applying anyway?

(Oh man, just why da hell do you ask this? it's totally in the form, didn't it??") I apply for JENESYS course, which is to Japan for two weeks.

Oh, so you apply for JENESYS? There will be intense competitions you know? And also Japan is not really safe right now, are you ready to absorb all of the radiation?

(duh, i know that already) yes, i'm ready to face the others. And for Japan, from what i've read from the news, the radiation is only in Fukushima and nearby region. It's fine in Tokyo or Saitama or others though.(Yea, like hell i'm gonna absorb those radiation)*laugh

So, normally in Japan, they will serve non-halal food such as pork and stuffs, if your host family offered you with them, how would you react?

Well, i'll just need to tell them that i can't as it's against my religion. I'll apologize even if they feel offended. I'll find any other things to eat, which is halal in Japan.   

So, if they ask you to get naked(WTF?) Would you do it since there are tradition in family that they bath together..Would you?

Ah, that? It is open bath or roten buro in Japanese(or so i heard)

So you knew it?

Well, yes.

What would you do then?

I'll truly apologize to them that i can't see other people's aurat nor showing my own to others. So, i'll kindly reject it.

What if they feel sad on your objection?

For that... I'll truly apologize to my host family because i really really can't do that. It's against my religion. So, i'll apologize a lot to them, until they feel sympathy for me(lol)

Okay... How would you promote Malaysia then?

Well, firstly i'll try to promote about our food, as people are easily tempted by food. Then i'll start sharing about our cultures in Malaysia which differ in race like our costumes, festival and etc. If i'm unsure about something, i could always surf for the information through wikipedia and stuffs to show to them.

Hmm... okay. I think that's all. You may take back your certificate and wait outside.

Thank you very much.

*i took my certificates folder and go out.  

Well, that's all i can remember... I did screwed up my intro though.. as i bit my tounge DX.

But managed to get stable back with my "laser-like" english speaking.

I dunno if it's good or not, but i think it's a nice impression, eventhough there's ain't really special about my interview.

I'm hoping that 50/50 that i'll pass, but i'm hoping for a PASS!

That's all i think.

Later, readers. Hope you find this useful somehow :3
