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!!
