Soalan Menguji Lojik: PTD

Sebentar tadi saya berpeluang menghadiri peperiksaan untuk Pegawai Tadbir dan Diplomatik. Alhamdulillah, dapat juga pengalaman mencuba untuk menyertai sebaahagian dari kerajaan. Sekadar mencuba, tidak begitu serius. Jika dapat, apa salahnya.

Sememangnya soalan yang diajukan amat mencabar. Untuk bahagian A, kepada sesiapa yang tidak mengikuti langsung perkembangan isu semasa yang berkaitan kerajaan sememangnya tidak dapat menjawab banyak soalan sebentar tadi. Alhamdulillah, kebetulan saya telah melalui pelbagai situasi yang menyebabkan saya perlu datang ke Putrajaya, jadi rezeki untuk dapat beberapa maklumat dan memberikan saya idea untuk menjawab soalan.

Lain pula untuk bahagian B. Bahagian yang khas untuk menguji lojik dan matematik. Soalan matematik tidaklah sesusah mana. Cuma tidak dibenarkan mengguna Kalkulator yang menjadi masalah. Tetapi, soalan lojiknya pada saya amat susah. Memang sungguh dasyat juga soalan menguji lojik. Maknanya, saya ni sukar untuk berfikir secara lojik tambahan pula bila soalan itu kelihatan mengarut. Hahaha. Malang, soalan tidak dibenarkan dibawa keluar. Jika ada, sudah tentu saya ingin berkongsi beberapa soalan yang pelik. Dan juga meminta untuk pembaca turut serta memberikan jawapan masing-masing. Semoga saya mempunyai keupayaan untuk berfikir secara lojik walaupun melalui situasi yang mengarut.

Disini sengaja ingin berkongsi satu soalan lojik yang telah diajukan. Soalan ini berbunyi lebih kurang begini;

"Di dalam EPL, Liverpool menduduki kedudukan teratas liga manakala Arsenal menduduki tempat ke lima. Manakala Manchester City berada di tengah antara kedua pasukan tadi. Jika Everton mempunyai sedikit mata berbanding Manchester City dan Chelsea mempunyai lebih mata dari Everton, siapakah yang menduduki tempat kedua?"

Memandangkan soalan itu dalam bentuk objektif, jadi saya perlulah menjawab Chelsea sebagai jawapan. Jika soalan ini subjektif, sudah tentu saya menjawab "Soalan ini tidak lojik, dimanakah Manchester United? Soalan menguji lojik ini tidak lojik sama sekali kerana Manchester United kalau bukan tempat kedua, mesti juara punya!!!"

LOL.

Found The Answer

Before graduated from my studies, I've always search for an  answer for this question; Where is the place which is good for us to start our career? Site (mostly contractors) or Office (engineering consultants)?

Of course, different peoples with different answers.

i)     Contractors
One reason is; it is suitable for unmarried person to work at site because they can travel and work far away from home. Working at site also expose us with actual site condition that will greatly improve the understanding of engineering works.

ii)    Consultants
Most people will suggest to work at consultant. Where the design starts here and then continued with construction letter. Plus, it is good for those who want to pursue for Professional Engineer (PE) title. This will enable them to qualify for the examination much early compared with those who starts working at site.


But, I just found the satisfying answer just now. After my Project Manager knows that I already tendered my resignation. The answer is "Work at site for 6 months at least, or 1 year at most. Don't work at site for too long. Then quickly enter consultancy firm. That is ideal. Why? Just take at most 1 year to look at the actual condition. Get the feel of construction site. And later you can actually design and take consideration based on site condition. But why don't stay there (site) too long? Because if you are too late to enter the consultants firm, they might not want to hire you as your salary level is already high but in actual you don't have any experience on design. Plus, enter the bungalow construction site. There you will learn so many things from earthwork to the finishing works."

p/s: the irony is, I got the answer from the person which caused me to resign. Hahaha.

Untitled 2

Well, the continuation of previous entry...

I did not sent it though. Well, maybe I believe it is alright already. Seems it's cool down a bit. I'm pretty happy but not totally though. Some other issue in my personal life quite disturbing my feelings and emotion. I can't do nothing. I just do what I can and being patient all the time. But, keeping things inside your heart and your mind alone is also not a good thing to be done.

Never mind, the letter, the tender resignation letter earlier, I've made a new one. Since I believe no one is answering or even hearing my voice now. I think it's good for now. But yet, I still working with wholeheartedly. I'm sincere to learn but I believe this is not a suitable place to learn.

Okay, job hunting is begin again. Hopefully found a real place to learn where challenges are suit with me, package with good and kind superior and reasonable salary. I hope so. There is almost impossible to find a place where there are no problems at all. But I hope I can get a place that I can bear the burden, can face and solve the problems and make me more mature. Amin, Ya Rabbal 'Alamin.

p/s: pray for me, will ya? Thanks in advance.
