A completely different nuance of interview of what I had earlier on mid june. Although I've prepare all the above answers, and yet it's blown away when you face interviewer.
I'm having 30 minutes or so on that room answering most of them about my research proposal There are 4 of them, 2 Indonesian, one of them is my lecture that give me a recommendation to enter this scholarship. Before entering that room, I was praying that he'll be nice to me, but he is the expert of my contrastive research, so definitely he'll ask unexpected question.
The other Indonesian is from other famous university, she ask why I did not continue to proceed to doctoral since I've already had master degree and yet my research is linear with the previous one. But in the end she also said that, the research I wrote was not enough, and should make it deeper. (And yet my knowledge about research is not deeper enough to be a doctoral researcher I guess). Being a master candidate in Japan, is enough for me right now.
One of the Japanese is a new atase pendidikan in Indonesia, He ask a quite easily question, such as do intend to bring your family etc...
The other one just ask one question, she asked, what is the connection between my research and for me as a lecturer, what are the benefit of it.
Although I have prepare to presented my research, yet I did not have a single chance.
Now, let's hope that I would be able to pass first screening.
* satu lagi (cari alasan yang tepat, alasan keluarga akan dibawa untuk pergi ke jepang)
