October That Got Stolen

Huh… it’s been a month since I blog about anything. Time flies just like that. I've drown myself into the river of literature review. All for the sake of my dissertation which can lead to a peaceful 3 months part time without any academic constraint early next year.  

For what I've remembered, I manage to go out for lunch and sometimes dinner with my friends. And then most of the time, I’ll be eating, sleeping, typing, assignment-ing and jogging. Haha.. I seldom went back to my hometown le. Cause travelling takes up a lot of my precious time. And then I’m less productive over there. I slack a lot. A lot means, I don’t do homework and just roll on bed all day. I can wake up at 2 pm and sleep at 2 am. Play for 12 hours sleep non-stop 12 hrs. Sometimes take afternoon nap also. This is me in hometown because it’s too comfortable.

Back then in Taylor hostel here, I’m super-duper productive. I woke at 6.30 am then go for jogging 30 minutes. Hopefully can do it every day. Haha.. Waking up early in the morning before the sun comes out is a beautiful+ touching moment with chilly morning breeze. Watching sunrise, the first sun-ray that hit your face would melt your heart too. Doll up and happily go uni after breakkie. Very relaxing as I woke up early. Not like usual. Wake up exactly an hour earlier or less before class and run to classroom. After class, I go home and take a refreshing shower. I really really very love evening. More in love when it rains. In Chinese it’s called “huang hun”. My feeling is very peaceful during evening accompanied with some snacks and a cup of beverage in living room. I’ll avoid taking nap during evening. Because I don’t want miss the moment when the whole bright world became colorful and turn into a dark one. Then, I start to work on my homework. After that, I do lit review. For some time, I call it a day. Around 10 pm, I wish to rest already. So tomorrow I am all ready for my morning jog and a brand new healthy+ happy day. I've got a quote remind me of, it doesn't matter how many hours you sleep. It matters with the quality of sleep and the next morning, I’m all anticipated to run.

As this semester assignment is not tough and I got off day every Wednesday, I try my very best to make good use of free time. I really fight against time. I got up early and try to finish all work. And then, I enjoy the remaining time through my favorite activities, watching drama. In October, I've only watch 3 dramas. First time being so stingy with myself on dramas. After being so mean to myself, my greatest achievement is, I got 60% done for my part 1. Really need to nail it down for the remaining 40%. When the work is being drag, I get trauma to open the file. I've taken the first step, so the remaining is easier. And good news is my skin sensitivity is reducing. I am taking really good care of it. Recovery is slow but I've got no choice because I want a perfect one.

Do you know that, 20 years old moving to 30 years old is like an invisible years. If you don’t achieve during these years, you probably are going to miss a lot. I don’t want to take the burden when I’m at my 3o’s. I fight and fight and fight more during these young age is better than sorry in the later. At the same time, I know how to live in the present. I don’t want to miss some moment that should be spent together due to workaholic.

 I allow you to ponder a little after these articles.

And now, my one week holiday is finishing. I kinda miss staying in Taylor there. It’s more peaceful and quite place that suit my personality. Other than the living cost is a little high in KL, I kinda like staying over there. I’m living my life. The way I want without disruption. It’ funny when I got 3 houses to stay, and I prefer the one without anyone being all alone. I didn't like staying with my family as well as staying with hubby boy thou I miss all of them. L Next, I’ll be working on balancing my diet. To have healthy lifestyle, balanced diet and sw33t reams as shield and weapons for war.

I've got pictures for you guys but i wanna remain as a wordy blogger. voila... au revoir~  

My AIESEC

Hello, how are you..?
How long has it been since I last joined a club/ society..?
I couldn't remember. Whenever there is a chance or opportunity, I say to myself, next time. Maybe when situation get better, I've got more free time then I'll join. This is how I hypnotized myself for the past 3 years in university.

Once I am in university, I did not thought of joining any extra-curricular activities. There are not important. I asked senior and it's not necessary so I tend to give way. Slowly, I became professional introvert and anti-social. Just like an otaku (nerd). I know I am friendly and out-going but the thing I am doing right now is not in line with myself. I see my friends join student council, dancing, this and that. They are all happy creating university memories. Meanwhile, me on the other hand, feeling something is missing in me. I've got fear and barrier/ limitation that I created by myself even up to now. My excuses are always, no transport, later go home late night, I've got assignment to rush, my dissertation, neglect my bf, none of my friend joining, maybe cannot go back hometown on weekend and the list goes on non-stop. See, there are 99% of feedback telling me not to do. But deep down inside me, there is this burning hot 1% supporting me to do. All those 99% excuses are not from me actually. There are situation/ circumstances created by others thinking they are actually for the sake of me. The answer is no. Those 99% is other people priority. Not mine also. So, I decided to speak up for myself. Now, is all about me me me and me. My time, my life, my choice. Assignment/ dissertation/ examination? Have they ever stop haunting us..? They have been chewing up my 13 years and I need to stop giving them a damn.

I want to claim back the 2 years of university life that I sold off. The people that I did not get to meet, the fun I did not get to enjoy, the chances which I gave up on. Now, I want back that life. Actually, I want to help myself to be less introvert (one of my weaknesses) and learn to socialize. I keep saying meet new people and learn from them. How can I do it.

After browsing for the club/societies available in my uni,  I decided I want to join AIESEC. You may ask why AIESEC. Simply because it is something that suit my attitude and personality. It's something I like. I believe I can get abundance new experience and opportunity to go for an exchange. Yayy.. Go oversea.

First round, it was an online assessment. I think that was the last few day of assignment submission/ exam. I reach home at 1 am. I saw someone post it on Facebook. I click in and start dilemma-ing. Should I, or should I not. huh... I asked my bestie, Mei Kee. Well, you can get to know a lot things and meet new friends. But we've got enough of these kind of activities thing during our high school. Yeah.. I agreed with what she said as we are the one going through all those battle in high school together. Our extra-curricular activities scored 90 and above out of hundreds.

Then, I have a chat with hubby boy. Because he is someone important too, I need to seek his opinion. Not to the extend whatever he say I do. I just want to know his response is a yay or nay. He say, I don't mind if you join. Is a good thing also. Just manage your time properly. No rejection from two of my closest human. Hence, I fill in the super long questionnaire till 3 am in the morning. The next day, I still got class. I'm quite excited yet scared. Well, weather chosen or not I don't mind. As I already make my first move. At least, I TRIED!

After my study break, I went for an interview session from 4 pm to 6 pm.  I attended the interview. I thought it was just for few minutes and I could leave. No. The interview lasted till 6 pm sharp. They started of with ice-breaking and then introduction of AIESEC. Most of us are not confident about what is AIESEC actually. Next is individual interview. I've go a cute question. He is someone bold and his family members are all bold. How do I sell a comb to him? Could you think of any answer..? Haha.. The next day is my final management accounting paper. Worst is, I did not study anything yet. Oh...my... And that doesn't mean I will get selected also. Out of 100 students, they will be selecting 30 students only. One thing is, I am happy. I know exam is important. Everyone at AIESEC is student too. They have studies, so do I. When they can and I can handle too.

One phrase I learn from Jia En. Instead of think out of the box, why not take 3 steps backwards and see a clearer picture of everything. Sometimes, we do not need to be complicated and always out of the box. All we need is to be able to see not only the surface but also deep inside.

That end my trial story. Do you think I've been selected to be an AIESECer..?

Thank you for taking part in the interview. We are sorry to let you wait and let you scroll for so long (yea.. the mail was long and I keep scrolling downwards). Last word was, congratulations. You have been selected.

Whootss... Imma happy kid. And I am proud to be a member of this leading organization. It is something I want and I got in. Out of many student out there, I've been selected. It's not easy yet not that hard to join. Shall I rephrase it to nothing is impossible and difficult. All you need is passion. The rest, you can leave it to God.

I remember I told Mr.Patrick (an experienced lecturer) I want to join AIESEC. And he say, go for it. It's an international platform. I just say for fun and now I really manage to realize it. It is also one of my resolution to join this NGO organization. Well, I manage to fulfill one of my target again. Happy....

On 17th August 2013, there was an Induction Day for new member. Back then, I was having semester break.  I don't mind waking up early to take the 6.30am KTM from Seremban back to uni. Some say I am crazy. Yea.. When it is something I like, I give all my might to do it.

I was late by 30 minutes. By the time I step into the lecture theater, I could feel the positive momentum that attract me to be there. From that moment on wards, I know why I am an AIESECer.
