It's my 10th day working today. I have roughly about 147 working days more to go. I'm afraid that it'll be like this. Being a trainee in a local engineering company. A small company with only 4 people including me working in the office. Sometimes you learn things. But sometimes learning seem so long and draggy. Since I've been working here I haven't actually started doing any work yet. Just maybe some design assignments using AutoCAD and visited to maufacturing plant. My company deals with manufacturing Aircond system for factories and clean room and all that stuff.So everyday I sit in the office 6days a week from every Monday to Saturday. From 8.30 in the morning to 5.30 in the evening except on Saturdays we work half a day. I 'work' and i 'work' and i 'work'. Well at least i pretend to work most of the time hahah.
I take things one thing at a time. This is only working as an intern. I dread going out into the real world. I wonder what it'll be like having a working life. Monotonous?? Well maybe.. Anything you repeatedly do can become monotonous no matter how fun it was doing it the first time. Well at least i get to think a lot of AIESEC while working. Push people... Get Xchange realizations... Achieve results :) We're tied with TUC at the top spot with 16 Realizations right now but TUC will be getting more realized by the end of January but fear not. By February we'll have another 4 realizations at least ;)
Believe it or not i miss classes. or rather i miss skipping classes! Coz i can't skip work!! :p

Member Committee 2009/2010 Elections
3rd January 2009,
Taylor's University College
8am-10pm ++
As I woke up that morning around 6am I took my shower and planned to go through my election speech. I took out the set of clothes i wanted to wear and tried to iron it but the damn iron wasnt working. So i chose the most uncrumpled shirt i can find and by then it was already 7.15am. We're meeting in UM at 7.30am. No time for speeches... I went with Lia and met up with the guys in UM.
The drive to TUC was just a normal drive. Something you would expect when you're attending any other AIESEC events. When we arrived and the moment I see so many people in their suits in TUC i felt the butterflies in my stomach. Swarms of them coming out from cocooning.
I was freaking hungry. I ate a slice of sandwich while walking up the stairs but it felt like chewing sand. Well wishes we're being exchanged. Warm hugs and firm handshakes extended. I was nervous as hell. I went in and waited.. carried out my usual crazy antics and that helped a bit :)
Cafrey went up first. I watched him go. He seem natural up there on stage doing his thing. Using his slides and powerpoint connecting with people. Then it was the VPs turn. I was 5th in the line of 10 people. Right in the middle. As we waited outside and see one by one people go, those butterflies we're turning into hornets waiting to sting. Then it was Serena's turn. I was next.
The door opened and ushering me was AC/DC's Rock N Roll Train. The people, the faces and the song. All other things seem oblivious. I jumped on stage. I did my thing. I came out. I felt those hornets took flight. Replaced by a vast emptiness called hunger.
The rest of the day things went on quite alright for me. The verdict came and I got the Vote of Confidence.
I've taken this few steps. Waiting for the next bigger leap to come.
Thank you AIESEC in Malaysia for believing and having faith in me :)
p.s I didn't cried guys =p

Out of the 10 MCVP candidates, 8 got the VOC.
Our sole MCP candidate, he got through as well ;)
