Post Conference Symptom!

UNLEASH Asia Pacific 2011.


My first ever experience of being a Congress Committee Vice President for Communications for an international conference.


The journey begins when I applied and accepted the challenge to be a common committee to help out the conference. My learning point begun when I was being pushed into a VP position. In fact, I have never been a VP in my previous AIESEC term 2010/2011. And so I am already.


Having going through the challenges. Just to name a few ever since I started my CC VP Comm for UNLEASH, during that time, just fits into my packed schedule perfectly well into my internship period. That alone sacrificed my extra time to sleep later than before (like 2:00 am regularly) including to take away my weekends when I'm suppose to have a good time with my friends and family and my own. Just sounds terrible right?


Being in Comm, it really takes me to a whole new level. Planning and executing tasks alone were really a kick-ass. Let's sum up what I produced thus far. Creating awesome posters, designing websites, making name tags, creating banner, produce application forms, engage supplier and make T-Shirt designs, come out with a cool logo, producing certifications and hyping up the promotion of the conference virtually throughout Asia Pacific continents.


Looking back. It's really a "Wow" for me. I could never even imagine that I have done all these. And of course, I seek for help along the way. And yeah, I survived and it's really satisfying to see how far the steps that I have took.


After UNLEASH.... The post conference symptoms are beginning to haunt me. And yeah, not the scary one but the memorable experience I have gone though. My Congress Committee team were not strong in the beginning. Everyone doesn't even know how to start including me. 


In the conference itself, what really makes it meaningful would be my days spent with my team. We have gone through hell and we really enjoyed it all... Two CCs from UKM and one from UTP. Although we never met, but when we do, it just felt like we are long lost friends. Although it's just 5 days of meeting up and having to enjoy the conference while working together were really the enjoyable moment that I will never forget. We laughed more than we could, and we work out as great as it should be.


It's really awesome! And all that's even better to stay in a 4-Star Grand BlueWaves Hotel for 6 consecutive days. Although we don't sleep much, around 3-4 hours a day, but we utilize the rooms! It's awesomely big and the breakfast, lunch and dinner were heaven! The gym was awesome and the swimming pool (although I didn't get to swim) was wow.


Another AIESEC experience that I have crafted in my heart.


It just put a smile on my face to think back during the conference days~ =)

Couldn't Connect The Dots

A chill run down my spine when I'm writing this.

Dumbstruck. Shocked. Speechless. Disturbing.

The words that can describe my feeling now and also when I enter my room after two days back in KL.

First of all, first thing that struck my mind is that someone broke into my room. A thief perhaps. But that seemingly impossible.

Here's what to described. Perhaps you can help me connect the dots.

First impression when I entered my room. The dustbin was overturned. One of the plastic was torn and the chicken bones supposingly to be inside went missing. (human don't take and eat bones right?)

Nothing around my bed are being messed with. My money is there, my bed remain untouched, and everything seems perfectly fine. Till I went into the bathroom. (i stayed in a single attach bathroom bdw~) It's messy inside. The shampoo and hand washer dropped into the sink. It seems the sink are dirtied. And what's worse. The mirror came out halfway, one of the screw are plugged off leaving it slanted in a way.

What's in my room is there's a ceiling square hole on top which is not concealed. And there's a quite a big space of window wide open in the bathroom. And I left the toilet door open when I leave the room.

So here's the questions that keep circling in my mind.

What kinda thing came into my room. Take off some chicken bones, mess with the sink and dirtied it and torn the mirror apart. The mirror is perfectly tightened, which only strong forces can pull a screw off!

The last thing that crosses my mind are two things. One could be a bird that flew in from the window. But I crossed that out as I couldn't figure the mirror case. Two would be the paranormal going on in my room. And yes. I am writing this now in my room.

I just couldn't connect the dots. Can you?

Nightmares! My room for goodness sake and I'm staying alone! 

This is scary... If it happens to you. What would you do?

I am trying to forget what happened but it's just disturbing when the dots doesn't connect. 

Hopefully I can sleep well tonight.

A Bliss Of Redang Beach

Strong breezy wind shaking away the coconut trees~ Lying on the wooden chair, flipping away on the current book I'm reading~ Having both legs stretched out and putting it a cross~ While sipping my favorite Vanilla Coke away~ And enjoying the sound of the waves in the alternate moment. It's a bliss! 

Bluish Crystal Clear Sea with White Pristine Sands
The picture above just shows how beautiful Redang Island is in Malaysia~ Blue sea and white pristine sands~ A perfect stroll in the evening definitely makes my perfect day!


That of course doesn't sum up my 3 days trip there~ Again~ Too many things to say... So these few key points sums it up~


Things I Did!
1. Snorkelling
2. Building Sandcastles
3. Lying and enjoying my book!
4. Having awesome time with my family
5. Camera Shooting


Things I Enjoyed!
1. Live Fireworks Sparks for Malaysia Independence Day
2. Live Band with awesome songs
3. Open Beach Disco!
4. Face to Face with Sea Colourful Fishes!
5. Strolling on the beach in the evening


Things I Regretted And Missed!
1. I'm tanned
2. I can't took pics of the fishes
3. I didn't get to see baby sharks and sea turtles (due to season)
4. Didn't apply much SUNBLOCKs. LOL!


It's really satisfying and a great place to visit for a trip. Especially a relaxing one~ It's pretty sad actually when I went snorkeling and found out that some coral reefs area are bleaching and dying away~ Am not sure when will these beautiful scenes and beaches will last~ Hopefully for the years to come... The conservation of such places are for us to treasure.


I think the remains of a week of holiday for me would be awesome! A little time given to treasure the moments are sometimes better than what was given more left to waste. Wah~ A quote!


It really rings true when only with the scarcity of resources then we learn to treasure it well~


UTM! Here I don't wanna come! Ahhhh~ >.<

So like "this book fell from the sky"

Bye Bye Monday Blues

It's been awhile~ It's been ages~ (yeah i know)


Not that I have no time. Just the bad days ain't over but cannot resist myself from blogging!


Really been busy nowadays~ AIESEC work continues (not as much as before), Internship Extended (crazy workload passed) and Part Time (random business my Aunt introduce me to)


This working experience really gives me a turning point and plus the awareness I get from my Aunt.


And it's a wake up call~


Like "Hey! Do you think you are earning well? To spend every penny with every penny earned?"


Crazy question. And yes. Am trying to be ignorant for a second to not worry about my future financial part. But it's very disturbing indeed.


Life is beautiful. Indeed... Until the reality surfaces when your vision of your life comes to you. And it did. To me eventually~


It is the time to do something now for a better future financial support instead of relying on my parents. This won't continue forever. Saving is not the solution. 


And spending every penny with every one penny earned is a disaster. 


Money-minded these few days~ Maybe because I am paid so low by my boss (blame him, blame him) >,<


And so happy that this shall be my final week of working! Bye bye Monday Blues! I am gonna start my holidays! 2 weeks! I believe it's more than enough if I treasure it well!


Thank you boss! You have been my ever first and best colleague! Don't miss me cuz I won't miss you~ LOLz~ 


I shall be putting a big smiling face tomorrow~ To show how happy I am. 


Shall sleep early for a wonderful day tomorrow~ ^^
