The first step

January's coming near.. December's ending...
One month will go... and another will come..

DECEMBER 2008

Just when i thought that there wouldn't be anymore changes during the year. I made a change.
A change of heart. A change of plans. A change of direction.

The plans i set my mind to a few months ago seem irrelevant. While I was standing in front of the plenary in MyLDS 2008, I looked around and thought.. All this seem so amazing.. it seems so wonderful and so close to my dear heart. This organization all of us are in.

I decided to run for the National Committee.. The AIESEC Malaysia Member Committee 2009/2010. I felt a pang of guilt when those thoughts crossed my mind at first. I was so certain of my plans at first. Everybody thought that I would be sticking to it and I have no intention of doing otherwise. Then the time came, I don't know what gotten into me, (maybe the hours time persuading people to run for MC during MyLDS) I decided to run. But to run for elections I have to have a new plan!! After thinking really hard, I decided that going for my internship in January would be the best way possible. So I scrambled high and low, make use of whatever network that I have and found a place in Puchong. Well I wouldn't say it's the best thing that could happen to me but considering I was desperate I took it up anyway.

Then I submitted my application, but not after I spent time thinking over and over and over again. The times spent talking to Lia especially, she listened to me over and over again.

"Should I run for elections?" Should I? or should I not?

I submitted my application. So no turning back. Looking at the candidates. Well I was excited!! I felt like I was sky diving without any parachute!! Zooming down towards mother earth!! I'm glad that Boey decided to run at the last second :) What an amazing team it will be next year.

It's gonna be a tough ride. A tough journey ahead. I'm confident, but at this point of time I'm too confident. And that's a bad thing. I won't be preparing my speech just yet. But i hope i will. I plan to make an impact. Either by making a fool out of myself or the other way around I don't give a damn. I will make an impact. and that's a promise ;)

Another chapter

Broken

I broke a lot of things lately..

Maybe its better off this way..

though i yearn for it not to..

Year 3 :)

It was slightly more than 3 years ago that we became an item. I didn't know why i said yes in the first place Lia because i hardly even know you that time but looking at how things are right now i have no regrets at all. The times we've spent, the moments together, light happy moments, miserable draggy moments, it doesn't really matter even if we go through bad times together because at the end of the day we always cherish our times together and that is what matters the most to me hun. Happy third year anniversary Lil Lia. We spent our 1st in NLDS, our 2nd in MNC, and our 3rd... well it was kinda like in the break between MNC during Raya Haji. Days become only figures. Figures that adds on in time. And those figures become testament to my loyalty towards you. Love you lia!! *hugs*

From NLDS to MyLDS

It started 2 years ago in USM.. I was a chief delegate for LCUM.. I was also a first year student in a local Universiti. Coming from a missionary school with a class so full of other races i wasn't my true self when i went into Universiti. It transformed me into becoming a reserved person. Someone totally not me.

Then i found AIESEC. I saw ruben one day at the RD stall and i thought hey why not join it. It's not like i have anything better to do anyway :) and so i did. But still, i have no idea what it truly is about. I didn't even know that AIESEC offers Xchange at first. I joined because i had nothing better to do and because Lia was there as well heheh

I wasn't that active for awhile. Attended a few episodes and that's it. Of course then i joined Xcapade in PD. It brought me closer to AIESEC in a way and i joined a project right after called Window to the World(WTTW). The same goes to this project. I wanted to be involved but at the same time i didn't find that passion.. that thing that strives me to doing more.. and so i did my part for the sake of doing it. While in the midst of the project, an oppurtunity came by in the form of NLDS 2006.

In December 2006, i was selected to become the chief delegate for LCUM. I remembered one day when i was actually still contemplating whether or not to attend NLDS 06 when suddenly i got a phone call from Terence (LCP 06/07). He congratulated me saying that i was chosen as a chief delegate. I was speechless. I have no idea what i got myself into and at the same time i felt responsible. I mean.. Somebody actually noticed you and gave you this oppurtunity to be a chief delegate. Who cares what it was back then, its a 'chief' of something!! Being a CD was an eye opener. I did not notice it at first but throughout NLDS i realised a change in me. A change that i never saw coming. A change that made me who i am right here today.

Recently i just came back from MyLDS08 in UPM. My 3rd NLDS. I went as an LCP. Totally different experiences. But none less fulfilling. I had choices to make, decisions that would affect the whole AIESEC Malaysia community. I am in charge of AIESEC in UM. But at the same time i need to earn each n everyone of their respect. Because without them i would not be here. Life gives you oppurtunities all the time. I found mine in the form of AIESEC. Thank you for that. And may this conference be not my last. Nor may this experience be not my best. Because i believe the best has yet to come ;)

That thing called life

Arghhh stress!! Last week was crazy!! Had a full 4 days of AIESEC Experience!! :p Went to the MCs office on tuesday to review the Compendium and the following 3 days i was with the Presidents n MCs for TCM2! Heck it aws tiring but it was definitely worth the time spent :)

As soon as i got back my mom told me to pack up coz the whole family's going balik kampung and it just slipped my mind!! I packed and left the next morning to Melaka first for little tini's cukur rambut ceremony :) my cousin's baby growing edy heheh

Next head to Batu Pahat and for the whole 2 days i was there i was stuffed with food, food n a lot of food!! Simplicity at its best :) Now i'm back!! With pre-MyLDS only a day away and i havent really prepared my stuff yet!!

Yikes!! Now i wish for more AIESEC time to prepare my AIESEC stuff!! And heck Legislation clashes with RAYA HAJI!! WTH!!!
