hanoi - day 6

update : I AM GOING TO TAIWAN!! decided d!!

Today was LC meeting for AIESEC Hanoi.. really cool meeting the AIESECers.. the meeting was held in the new part of town.. so its interesting to see it.. but la.. i dun like dat area.. its dusty, full of sky scrapers and just too city-ish for my liking..

Random facts that i have realised :

1. Vietnam gals are damn slim!! i have not seen a single plump gal in my whole 6 days here. The fattest? Me! ( i am a thousand million percent serious - no plump person.. not even one.. and a million times more jealous..ish ish)
2. Ppl think that i am Vietnamese.. so if i dun open my mouth and smile demurely , i can cheat ppl into thinking i am from Vietnam.. sin chao :P
3. The traffic here is seriously crazy.. all the things ppl have said? there is no exaggeration.. its true.. its crazy!
4. When you smile to someone in Vietnam ( someone in this context means a random person you dunno) they smile BACK!!! eh so long d din have this feeling la.. in kl sometimes ( and very rarely) ppl smile back at you.. In singapore ?? they look at you like you are crazy.. even the auntie that you are buying food from.. I love vietnam :P
5. ALL vietnamese gals can cook:P ( ok mebbe a lil of an exaggeration) And they cook well i think!
6. The vietnamese gals i have met?? Love their brother a lot.. its like their brother is like their son more than their brother.. i mean i love mine but not like they do .. bagus bagus
7. The food here costs nearly the same like Malaysia, KL.. so its not TAT cheap after all..
8. I know got more wan.. i had tons in my head when i was on my way home on the bike.. ish ish mana pergi my random tots????

I am super undecided bout a lot of stuff now.. y? cos of money.. aihz itu babi air tickets to taiwan meningkat in price.. should i still go??? mebbe i should skip it and go another time?
danang trip and halong bay trip coming - its gonna make me super broke..
macam mana macam mana???

money pig help!! safe me from this!

Hanoi - day 5

Today is a Saturday.. meaning its a weekend!!
So today the plan was to visit bat trang ceramic village.. Yen ( super pretty aiesecer from aiesec hanoi ) picked me up to meet with alvin and tien ( aiesecer from aiesec ftu hanoi)..
So after picking up some snacks ( and french bread for me- YUMMY!!) we walked to the luong bien bus stop to board da bus.. amazingly on the bus, we meet a group of chinese students studying in Vietnam ( ooo did i mention Yen and Tien could speak in Mandarin??).. They were surprised that our group could speak in mandarin ( I super felt like a banana today in VIETNAM!! wat da hell.. lai carmen lai carmen.. mmg takleh buat apa- apa dah..) Anyhoo.. the group of chinese students were really cool and we visited bat trang village together :)

We tried our hands at some pottery which i had zero talent in .. the thingy that i was trying to make either went flat ( y do i need a flat thingy for?? cannot even put ash la..) or had the shape of the the thing dat comes out of us when we defecate.. really interesting experience.. but to a certain extent , narrowed down my future career prospects.. ahaha i guess i cannot make my millions out of pottery eh to fund my sia 1st class flight ticketS :P Den we went shopping ( my uber favourite part) .. my mum must be wondering .. apa lagi dia beli budak nie.. ahahha i got 2 teasets for 80000 dong ( dats less den 10 ringgit per set), some necklaces and keychains for 10000 dong each(RM 2.40) for souvenirs.. really cheap like celaka la.. super happy with my purchases.. happy :) sense of success and achievement sia. ahahha.. i think i am done with souvenirs for now.. so ppl thats what u are getting..ahaha

Random thoughts : the scenery on the way to the village from the bus was breathtaking.. memang cantik celaka babi.. seriously there were lakes, and paddy fields, and ducks swimming in the pond.. houses were interesting cos they come in all shapes and designs.. sometimes i think hanoi is like a patchwork .. everything is different.. eventhough the houses are in the same row.. they are so different from each other.. you will NEVER run out of things to see in hanoi..

So after we return to town from Bat Trang, we bid goodbye to our newfound Chinese frens and walked to Hoan Kiem Lake for FOOD!! i saw some corn by a street hawker and couldnt resist.. in the process all four of us stopped to have some traditional( i think) Vietnamese drinks. me and alvin and yen had this lotus seed drink with cincau and white gummy sago with the coconut in it( i like !! a lot).. Tien had some drink dat tasted like ginger ale with lime.. also nice.. Den we proceeded to have dinner.. Dinner was good- it was some kinda noodle( the one i had with Trang dat day for breakfast) but the soup is different.. a lil sourish a lil spicy.. but SEDAP :0

After dinner we wanted to walk at the night market( again i know:P) however we saw the water puppet place.. and we managed to convince each other that its high time we went for the must- see-if-you-visit-hanoi famous water puppet..ahahha damn kiasu la us.. takut tak sempat watch before we leave hanoi..( me and alvin that is)- mati mati wanna watch today.. but i tell you there is a reason why its a must see!! cos its really really awesome.. no shit man.. its music was beautiful, story line interesting and funny , puppets were really nicely made and hallo its on water ok.. mana nak cari?? u tell me.. ppl actually in the water performing for u to see.. very colourful performance.. both me and alvin were entranced.. it was truly magical i tell u..
(random thoughts again : i realised that i have NOT seen the wayang kulit before.. in fact nak tengok kat mana pun i tak tau.. paiseh sia)

So after the water puppet show.. we went along the night market.. and we ate. ahahah .. we had passion fruit sugar cane drink ( i know i know.. passion fruit flavoured fresh sugar cane .. interesitng rite!!) and we also had fried sosej .. Alvin den spotted this random drink. its really interesting .. Let me describe it for you.. it was gooey like glue, and some part of it is white like milk.. ( i think my description can make u cringe in fear) but it was really really really really good!! ( or at least we liked it a lot! ) it had all kinds of jelly and corn and red beans in it.. really gummy and jelly-ish. and its topped by gooey (really sticky sticky wan lo) milk(?)(i am guessing cos its whitish).. but the effect? sedap!! yen said she will bring me around hanoi to try various versions of this dessert and i cannot wait! i guess i like my goo ~~ ooo den yen and tien (eh it rhymes) treated me and alvin to some awesome dessert - caramel pudding(cold , smooth and have some coffee taste- argh heavenly) and get this.. yogurt black lo mai( itu pulut hitam tong sui tau?den they added yogurt :P)
ok dat was the end of my gastronomic experience today..

Tomorrow - LC HANOI MEETING!! got training wei.. damn exciting.. and i cannot wait to see everyone from AIESEC LC HANOI!!

oo i kena bangun at 7 tomorrow.. nites

hanoi - day 4

Today - din really do much in the morning. played some computer games with minh, chill, sleep,la la la

At nite ? we had PHO!!! its a must if you are in vietnam.. its like a staple food or sumthing.. and the one trang brought me to try was really really nice.. argh da soup was fantatatatatatastic ! den we went to the weekend night market near hoan kiem lake.. there were performances there , really huge event to celebrate 499 days to hanoi's 1000 birthday :) and also to celebrate children's day.. so two different stages with two different set of performers!! interesting ho..

We stopped by to have this mixed fruit desert with milk at a street stall.. it was really really different.. its really mixed fruit i tell you.. got avocado, mata kuching, watermelon, pear, mango, nangka and much more la..

Den came my all time favourite !! shopping .. ahahah nite market bargain hunting.. i got my dear galfrens their souvenirs.. its super nice i would say.. and not TOO ex.. okla .. oso got this small statue of a vietnam gal in the traditional conical hat and au chai( ok i am pretty sure i got the spelling wrong.. but its the one where the top looks like long cheong sam and pants that looks like skirts :)) not too ex too dat one.. and 2 purses made of silk.. one for my cousin sis germane ( eh u reading this ho :P) and one for me.. nt too mahal too.. ahhaah..

Met with some friends of Trang.. They had frens from korea with them.. and they are going to halong bay!! ah i found my kakis to go halong bay!! tak sabar menanti

And tomorrow i am going to bat trang - ceramic village just outside of Hanoi.. its gonna be sweet!! nice nice

oh i have also 80% decided to go for envision conference in taiwan!! da moment my tickets are booked (soon) its hello taiwan for me too~~

AHHHH!!!!

hanoi - day 3

Today started quite late again i would say.. around 11? ahahha.. me and trang were chatting into the wee hours of the nite the day before :)

So, Trang suggested that we have STREET FOOD for breakfast!! omg omg !! my eyes opened wide and my heart started beating! of cos i wanted street food.. so we went on foot for food!! ( oh my that sounds poetic).. we had some kinda noodles which was eaten with some kinda vege and meat and pickled garlics and lime.. nice :) den we walked around.. me who cannot resist shopping went into some clothing shops.. too bad its a tit too expensive for my liking.. so i have decided to continue my shopping spree in kl.. ahhaha .. oo i had a manicure. so my nails now looks super nice :) 40000 dong.. a lil pricey i think. but nice and once in a lifetime thing?ahhaa

den we visited trang's grandmother.. she is 82 and still looking strong.. she is like the epitome of the vietnamese lady. Dignified, ladylike, graceful.. she was smiling all the time.. she was surprised that i came to Hanoi alone.. i wanted to take a picture with her but she refused cos she said she wasn't feeling well.. no worries i will have another chance.. i will be here for another 6 weeks :) somehow, i really enjoyed visiting Trang's grandmother.. oo did i mentioned dat she used to work with HO CHI MINH!! career woman of the olden days la.. She reminded me of my maternal grandmother who i din not have the good fortune to be with for too long.. She held my hand and asked me to enjoy my trip in Vietnam.. i wanted to hug her.. somehow she evoked this sense of longing for grandparental love.. too bad my grandparents are all in a better world..

After that, we continued our quest for food.. or rather I continued it.. Trang was basically accomodating my whims and craving.. ahahha.. so da next thing we had was FROZEN YOGURT.. sedap gila babi seriously.. so so so so so so so so nice and cheap.. 3000 dong per cup.. less than a ringgit ok.. and i had this caramel pudding too.. also 3000 dong per serving.. ah.. blissfully heavenly good! Den we had this drink, made of beans.. Trang had the one with black beans while i had the one with green beans.. i prefered Trang's cos it had this sago-ish thingy with coconut inside.. NICE~ however, i was a lil surprised at the price.. it was 20000 dong for the two cups.. Trand said its normally around 3000-8000 dong.. i guess the lady figured out tat i was a foreigner.. takpa takpa.. i have just contributed to the vietnam cottage industy.. Den i had the french bread that i was craving for.. 10000 dong.. sedap la.. seriously.. but da bread a LIL keras.. i was expecting it to be a little softer.. nemind i will try something else another time.. Next i had a second serving of frozen yogurt!!ahahha

oo trang also brought me to the only cinema in hanoi that plays movie in their original languange.. it was in a shopping centre.. so of course i went there with high intentions to shop.. guess wat?? i nearly pengsan-ed when i saw the prices!! sangat teramat mahal! aihz..

Tonight, there was a gathering of both AIESEC in hanoi and AIESEC in FTU to welcome .. well us. me and alvin.. really really cool!!
I love AIESECers! they are so energetic and positive and its the same everywhere!!we had dinner together and it was NICE.. first we had this popiah thingy..it was basically rice sheets (macam chee cheong fun) wrapped around beef and some herbs..very very nice.. dip it in the sauce( a little lime, young papaya, and fish sauce) and ur makaning sumthing that brings you closer to heaven.. next was this bbq-ed goose .. nice but a lil oily.. it came with this shrimp sauce.. apparently there is a way to check whether the sauce is fresh.. u add lime and see whether the sauce lightens in colour.. ahahha and u ony know that when u are with locals :) Den came my favourite!! DEEP FRIED SWEET CORN!!!!! AHHHHHH !! heavenly sedap!! damn damn damn damn damn damn damn damn damn damn nice!! the corn was sweet and crispy.. i suka.. sideline story, the aiesecers from vietnam decided to have a competition with the angmos to eat the corn with chopsticks.. super funny la i tell u.. da punishment? the two losers had to kiss each other and THEY DID!! ahahaha gossip gossip :) da last dish was the famous 'pho' in a different way of cooking according to trang.. nice with lots of veggie.. den we motorbiked our way to a cafe beside westlake( my favourite lake ever) to chill and have a drink(lipton tea for me.. hahaha)

Den i spent the rest of the night playing games and learning how to play chess from my host's brother Minh.. This lil guy is funny , obedient, helpful and sunny.. its been a long time since i saw a kid i liked.. and Minh? i really like.. i have a date to play hangman with him tomorrow :)

Tat concludes day 3 :) work work..

hanoi - day 2

So i dah tidur one night kat sini dah.. officially half org hanoi d :) ahaha..
And so today started rather late for me.. i tidur like a babi until around 11 plus in the morning.( which is 12 pm in Malaysia and Singapore).. and guess wat?? my host's younger brother Minh( 11 years old) made me my breakfast! so sweet and a lil paiseh on my part honestly.. ( jonny boy are u reading this??)

And so yada yada yada( err nothing interesting.. sleep, online, stoning ), den Trang decided to bring me around hanoi part 2..
she first brought me to the Ho Chi Minh mausoleum.. i tell u, the landscaping there is damn damn damn damn one thousand million times cantik la!! damn nice! went around the museum( though not for long cos it was closing).. i would say that every element of ho chi minh's life was documented really nicely to the T. they even have the baju he wore to disguise himself and the house he was born in.. Really a must go if you are a history buff.. or just love beautiful scenery.. cos the mausoleum?? damn cantik la.. dari atas ke bawah, tepi ke belakang, you see will see many a place that you would love to photograph.. me who super love to take pics of myself took tons of pics without myself in it.. that should explain how awesome it is!

Next, Trang brought me to West Lake.. I swear I would kill to be able to live at that neighbourhood.. da villas and houses there damn cantik.. and the wind.. wooooosh super nice the wind.. and the view~~ Enough said.. i actually kinda prefer west lake to hoan kiam lake .. its really huge.. you can see ppl fishing and just chilling beside the lake.. talking bout fishing.. i saw first time in my life a person actually catching a fish!! so exciting sia! and also you can go kayaking or pedalling there!! I nak pergi! this time tak sempat sure got next time..
Trang was also kind enough to bring me see a lake full of lotus :) not bloomed yet.. but still nice!
Ah Hanoi is really picturesque.. everywhere u go sure feel like taking photos to capture the beauty of it!

oo i had this kebab bread thingy which i have been craving since i nampak-ed it on my first day.. its good but they had the skin of the babi in it.. so din really like it dat much.. i wanna makan itu french bread my mentor told me about.. and go for full body massage .. and SHOP!! ( saw more shops today.. needless to say i am uber tempted!)

tomorrow tomorrow.. buat apa ya?
pergi gathering for aiesecers in hanoi!! tak sabar menanti! and can see fellow malaysian alvin too.. boleh merendahkan nilai homesickness i nie.. ( yes i am homesick.. a little..intsy teeny bit)

PS PS :i know i know i did ambik pictures.. i will upload them soon.. real soon..

omg hanoi!!!

And so today marks the beautiful first day of my ceedership in Hanoi.. The plane flight was terrible judging from its not adjustable seats and really crampy leg space.. but i guess that is what you get when you travel budget.. I VOW to go for SIA first class next time when i travel.. so money making machine WILL materialise.. ( ok i am running very very far away from the main topic.. HANOI!!)

And so I was picked up by a fellow AIESECer Linh at the airport..(she is the classic vietnamese beauty, soft spoken , beautiful long hair, slim ( super JEALOUS LA!!), nice smile, perfect wife material :)) And we took a bus to town.. Mana tau celaka half way the bus broke down.. So we decided to walk .. and by walking i mean walking with all my luggage .. Just imagine yah KLites and Singaporean-lites, walking with my trolley luggage AGAINST traffic on a road FULL of motorcyclist flying around in the middle of the road.. yah that is wat i did just now.. TAKUT SIA!! but i put on a cool face and just followed Linh.. she was my guiding star.. ahhaha.. and i am proud to say WE MADE IT!! woooooosh.. bangga celaka babi la!

And den my awesome host picked us up from a junction.. I had my first motorbike ride in ages today! it was really really cool.. but i will have to admit, i did close my eyes banyak kali during the ride.. Trang was a whiz on the road, super super good but i guess i am not used to it yet.. ahhaha( Random : here they drive on the left side.. some cars at least.. first time nampak sia.. ahhaa)

Trang's house??? super uber cantik gila babi!! seriously, its on the 22nd floor overlooking Hanoi city, can see lakes can see the red river can see banyak banyak stuff.. really nice view~ and da decor?? macam hotel sia.. or at the very least macam itu show house.. NICE!!
Trang made lunch and it was really nice.. home cooked meal ok..i damn freaking lucky la.. and den i kong (tidur like a babi for 4 hours).

Just now, Trang brought me on her motor to Hoan Kiem lake.. at night the place was really cool.. the wind was blowing away.. (wind in the hair effect sia) Walked around the lake while Trang showed me certain historical and worth looking 'stuff'( for the lack of better words) Really cool! and of course i saw MANY potential shops to SHOP!! ( you knew the S word was gonna come up sooner of later rite??) And den we had Vietnamese ICE-CREAM that according to Trang is the most traditionally made ice-cream and supposedly the best in Hanoi.. it was yummylicious of course.. Trang said that Vietnamese that leaves the country will always relate the ice-cream to home. That is like how Malaysians relate our maggie goreng , roti canai or char kueh teow to home.. mmm writing bout this is making me hungry..

Anyway that concludes my awesome first day. Yes i did take pics and no I cannot put it up here.. Y?? cos itu celaka babi lappie of mine is not cooperating at all.. slaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap its face la.. ish i want to go online using my lappie!!! babi celaka sial la ..
Anyhoo.. i nak tidur dah.. according to hanoi time its 11.39 pm .. means its 12.39 am in malaysia and singapore.. plus the horrible seats in air asia and the tak tidurness the nights before .. and adding on the walk when the bus broke down.. i am exhausted.. nites tidur la..

fun fun fun..

And so mei mei ngan su yun came to kl to shop. The S word totally a hundred million percent explains the 3 words in the title. enough said..

however contradictory to my nature ( super pro shopper), the fun did not solely come from the shopping.. it came from spending time with them!! i damn rindu them la.. nasib baik when i was in singapore i sempat catch up with shi yah.. and balik kl catch up with mei mei and su yun.. i am satisfied for now .. ahahha

and so in less than 30 hours, i will be boarding the flight to Hanoi.. My feelings ? 80% excited, 5% apprehensive. 15% malas to pack ( ish i hate to pack and i think within this year , i have packed more times that i have in my past 20 years!!)

ok pack pack..

PS : according to mummy dearest, my skin has improved after the mafanness.. however i kinda feel like begging to differ.. y? I HAVE A HUGE PIMPLE ON MY CHIN!! sakit sial ( ok mebbe cos i keep on touchin it..) pack pack

foooooooooish... relief.. for the time being at least

so so so so.. today is D day! DREADED day for you!!
Or mebbe i should call it R day.. RESULTS day..

again damn babi celaka sial, super kan cheong la.. but less than the first time i would say( i wasn't hyperventilating this time!!)

Anyhoo, due to the magic of streamyx dat is going rather smoothly tonite, my results popped out unexpectedly without no preparation emotionally on my side.. however at first glance it was ok.. foooooooooooooish can breathe d..

And guess wat? my electives super pull me up la this time.. and my micro i guess..

Anyway , i feel satisfied with this times results.. i guess its stay tune for next sem??

eee .. second year d!! takut sia!!

i surprised ppl today..

So.. my mum has been complaining that my skin has worsen a thousand million times since i started my academic year in NTU. And she has been complaining A LOT!

I guess it is rather bad as she has been urging me to go for facials EVERY single time i am in KL.. And so today I went for one... Apparently its SUPER SUPER weird to have only cleanser on my 'face' routine.. The eyes of the gals attending to my poor face basically popped out when i told them i only wash my face and nothing else.. And they started nagging me on how important it is to take care of our skin and lalalala.....

AIYO SO MAFAN LA!!!

i told my mum i wanna age gracefully, she told me to grow up!! ahahha..
And so we went to the pharmacy and got me the whole 'mafan' set of skincare..
Y can't i have eggshell smooth skin like some of the lucky gals out there?? Then maybe i can save all the 'mafanness' and just shop?? ok random..

Lets just see how long i will stick to the mafan regime..
I guess i better if i want to look my age and not 10 million years older :(
I am super sure the old old ancient ppl dun have all these mumbo jumbo stuff to use on their face rite?? Y now?? (according to marketing 101 and economics 101, because there is a market for it :( Aiyo women lets just all age gracefully and save the mafanness!!)

carmen the warrior princess

i am back in KL!!!! awesome kl!

The amount of bags i brought back by bus ?? FOUR!!( two super duper elephantish sized ones)

Lugging it through custom was damn sweat inducing la..

But i MADE it!!

I shall now call myself CARMEN THE WARRIOR PRINCESS!!

0r CARMEN the WRESTLING STAR!

ok random -.-

end of transition and planning

FUH!!!

7 days of back to back transition and planning has definitely taken a toll on my mental capability.. i was stoning towards the end of the day everyday.. however i would conclude this really intense 2 weeks with one word.. AWESOME!!

I took back a lot from the sessions! cannot wait to implement all that i have learned to my life in general and of cos when my term as VP Comms officially starts. The learning curve was super steep i would say.. exponentially so..I KNOW that this one year is going to change my life especially the way i do things. I want to be more efficient and bring out my potential!

For now, its fashion show at vivo later .. and den lepak with my fellow malaysians in ntu tomorrow.. den sunday.. HOME!!!!!

AIESEC week :P

WARNING : Heavy AIESEC talk ahead.. and some really inspiring stuff i learned :)

This week has really been a full fledged AIESEC week :P
It has been a really intense and long week! but it has still not ended..
there are still 3 days to go for national transition and planning and 2 more days for LC planning..

LC TRANSITION

So last saturday and sunday was the LC transition. It was TRULY intense i tell you.. no joke.. but it was fun too :P and an awesome learning experience.. we went back to the basics about the AIESEC way, understanding and internalizing the information. Then we discussed the various strategies taken to achieve what we envision. That of course includes the AIESEC 2010 and the 'god' created Balance Scorecard!! kepala pusing pusing a bit.. but really it was cool learning about all these stuff and seeing the relevance to what we are doing.
My favourite quote from that session :
' Act don't react!'
I am generally a person who reacts.. probably stems from the fact that i am Malaysian.. i need to improve on my 'act' so that i do not only 'react' all the time.. hence according to rachel and yun zhou.. planning is bloody important.. AND tracking !!


Session with AP director Li Zhen
On wednesday there was a session with Li Zhen, AP director from AIESEC International which was really really cool where he shared with us how to relate our operations to the AIESEC way.It was eye opening to see how every function has a clear relation to the AIESEC way. I would say its all back to basics..
The quote i got out of this session " Promise what we can deliver, Deliver what we promise" This is truly important to allow the setting of the right expectations, and for us to fulfill the expectations! That is demonstrating integrity for you!
Randomness melanda when we decided to bring Li Zhen to the science centre. (we -> the EB team minus the guys and Zhou Qin)

What we did?
-camwhore
-enjoyed science
- got dizzy in the amphitheatre with sea monsters
-enjoyed science again
- took some 'masculine' pictures for Yun Zhou

PS : LOVE THE EB TEAM LA!!

Departmental transition

Next up was transition with Rachel my awesome awesome AWESOME boss!!
It was really concised and gave me a clearer picture of my role as VP comms for my term.
Discussed on various matters that i have always wanted to know more about. Rachel is awesome! love my boss sia!
Then we had duck rice which was really good.. seriously(coming from me who NEVER say anything good about the food in singapore, it is really good!!)
And my awesome boss accompanied me to get the 'guy' watch that i have always wanted!(ok not ALWAYS la.. only since my penang trip.. lalala)

AIESEC Youth Symposium

The AYS was held on Friday (yesterday) with really good speakers. They basically spoke about the trends observed of the Gen Y (us youth) and also about the current economic crisis and how we as youth can work our way through it and even 'capitalize' on it..
My take backs from the event?
I shall put it down in quotes, but seriously i definitely got more than just the quotes..it was thought provoking..
' Be passionate about what you are doing!'
'Look for opportunities in every difficulty'
'The only constant thing in life is change'
'The importance of networking'
'Develop good values'
'Work well with ppl you don't like'

Mentoring/coffee session with my mentor Imran
I really enjoyed this session with my mentor! I am normally rather sceptical about motivational stuff cos i feel that they are too far away from me and a little too idealistic sometimes. But Imran managed to make the things he said sound so logical and doable enabling me to relate it to myself and what i do. He gave me some sales tips too for my ceedership in Hanoi.. Really cool:P
My take backs in quotes
'Motion creates emorion'
'Emotion is also affected by your focus. change your focus, you change your emotion'

First day of national planning
Totally reinforced my knowledge in performance management.. ahaha this time i was really paying attention.. (yun zhou better be proud of me man).. got to know the EBs from NUS and some from SMU.. and got this from mayas
'Focus on developing others, and our learning will come in the process'
'Take responsibility in own learning and be proactive'
'Love your job(inspire yourseld) and make others love theirs(inspire others)'

And that is what i have been up to this 2 weeks.. intense rite??? ahha but loving every second of it:P LOVE WHAT I AM DOING LA!!

random stuff

I miss them !!Ahaha i think they know who they are :P

Owh my CEED in Hanoi is confirmed .. my flight is on the 26th!!

Transition is really intense! but a learning experience you will never get elsewhere..

Wan Xin awesome internship in Cameroon!! HUGS!!
