STTDG scholarship interview with the "carrot gang"

First learned about ST Tiew Dental Group when they set up a booth during MMMC Faculty of Dentistry 's First Student Scientific conference & Dental Quiz. They mentioned to us about a scholarship they offer to subsidise local dental students from UM, AIMST, MMMC, etc. So I made an enquiry through email and they kindly sent me the application form. Shared this news with a few friends and we applied together.

Soon after the application, the Group invited us to their headquarters in Kota Kemuning, Shah Alam for an interview on 19th July. We booked a hotel for the night before and Chris drove us (Weichi, Phyllis, Amanda and I) down for an Interview+Leisure trip. Hee. Tried burger lab for the first time and we loved it. Hee. Orange Hotel, which we stayed, was nice, clean and comfortable and cheap as well. :)

Went for the interview the next day, the session started with a briefing on the history of the dental group, career opportunities they provide, professional courses and some of the key terms of the scholarship. All sounded quite attractive. We were served refreshments, and divided into 3 in a group, then called for the interview one group at a time. The atmosphere during the interview wasn't stressful. They were very friendly and patient with us.

Went Ikea to try the famous meatballs, and were much satisfied. Haha. Supposed to return to Malacca after that, but Estee invited us to stay for the night (so sweet of her), and brought us around Subang for more good food :D Couldn't decide on what to eat as we weren't hungry, so we had some korean snacks and Snowflake for desserts. All to our delight :D

The next day we had a warm breakfast in her house, enjoying the cookies by her mum and coffee by her dad (so blessed right :D) bid goodbye to the family and their dogs, had chilli pan mee for lunch (recommended by estee) and went back to Malacca.

A month later, all of us received a call from STTDG on the success of our application and invited for an agreement signing session at their HQ. :D Just returned from my KK trip the night before, so KJ sent me there after our breakfast. Originally asked estee to send me to the train station after the session, but was so lucky to meet HK and Laylay there, and they brought me to TBS to get a bus home. So saved her from the trouble. Hehe. Only Estee and I were able to attend on that day, the others went on a later date. Anyway, a big thank you to ST Tiew DG :)
