Life in AIESEC (Part 1)

Five minutes ago, I was browsing through my folders of pictures and I noticed that I've taken so much pictures. Pictures of my journey in AIESEC. I first heard about this organization was from my cousin brother. He was an alumnus of AIESEC in UKM long long time ago. Then I heard about"AIESEC" again from my good friend, Kitti. She told me that in UM, there's this cool organization and she asked me to find out if they have in UKM. Few days later, as I was walking alone to Bangunan Pusanika, suddenly there was this guy came to me and gave me a piece of paper. I dropped it inside my bag without reading it. Few hours later, as soon as I reached home, I saw my cousin brother again and he ask me if I've join AIESEC and then I realised that I actually saw that name somewhere before..but where? Well, it was the small piece of paper that the guy gave to me..it was a recruitment flyer...

Without knowing much about AIESEC, I went straight to the AIESEC room the next day to sign up as member. I went into the AIESEC room, each and everyone of them speaks English and I thought it must be some kind of English or drama club. Then I saw some posters of some countries and an article about some exchange program. I've always wanted to go on a student exchange program since high school. Since then, I slowly get involved in AIESEC. I attended the "general training" a few times and suddenly on this one fine night, I was selected as the "square dance mistress" by the members of AIESEC UKM and I was like..WHAT'S THAT? And then the seniors told me that I have to choreograph a 3 minutes dance..there you go..my first responsibility given in AIESEC..At that point of time, I found the organization very interesting. Probably because I have nothing else better to do in university :) I got to meet a lot of people from different faculty. Through AIESEC, I got to know a few people whom are now my very good friends today..namely Aw Yong, Thivina, Schvonne, Jian Hong, Ariff, Yoke Yen..and of course it will be more along the way..

After NLDS, I was very lucky. I was given an opportunity by a senior of mine, Yoke Yen (now my teammate) to be the Publicity & Communications Director of EYLN 2005. It was a great experience to be working with her, jian hong, pei ping, ee leen..list goes on. EYLN has offered me great learning experiences. I get to meet and work with people from the General Electric. I've learnt so much from these people. Yoke Yen, thank you for believing in me. That's my 1st year in AIESEC (tearing now). Great friendship were born. Great experiences I had. One great year that I'll never forget.

To the Neverlanders,

Thank you for the good time. The pillow talk. The photo shoot in my room (*wink). The cooking sessions. The make-up sessions. The gossip sessions. Remember before I reach home, we always guess if "Maharani" is sleeping in the room? Remember we tried to wake "Maharani" up with the chicken rice? Gosh..so much of sweet memories I had with you guys...I miss those days..

"Friendship is ike a violin; the music may stop now and then, but the strings will last forever."
