"AIESEC provided me the platform to learn and discover on many different levels during my 6 weeks exchange in Dalian."

On the working front, AIESEC also offered me the opportunity to experience a global learning environment, as I worked with AIESEC members from Malaysia, Philippines, Indonesia, America, Vietnam, and last but certainly not least, CHINA!

Red Cross China first shared their HIV/AIDS knowledge with us before we went out on our first workshop at a primary school in Dalian. For the following weeks, we had workshops in the middle schools and universities too. =)

Presenting Malaysia's culture was also an experience gained while I worked on the Red Wings HIV/AIDS project there. I learnt and appreciated our country so much more when I did our nation's cultural presentation. Introducing Shanghai Expo to primary school students, learning about the Empower Your Green Dream Project as well as Indonesia's culture also made my internship experience more diverse.

On a personal level, I learnt to be more independent, to plan, to be more trusting, to adapt in unfamiliar situations and most importantly to learn everything with an open mind.

I learnt about the cultural aspects of China, such as daily manners, widely accepted traditions or Chinese hospitality. That was nothing short of eye-opening. Staying with a Chinese family gave me hands-on experience of such aspects. The Dalian AIESEC members were more than welcoming; they made my integration to China's environment a seamless and enjoyable one. =D

Watch Lawrence's Exchange in Dalian video!

" LIFE-ENRICHING would be the one word to sum up my awesome AIESEC exchange experience in Dalian! "

[Written by Yau Sze Ern]

Sabrina Lim, an AIESEC member from Malaysia, went to Cameroon, Africa for exchange. Why Africa? Let's find out. :D

The main reason for Sabrina to choose Africa is due to her wish to experience the feeling of cultural shock! For her, Africa is a country which is totally different from her home country - Malaysia, in many aspects. Moreover, Cameroon is also called the miniature of Africa. Hence, she can experience most of the African stuff there.

Before leaving Malaysia, she was very excited and nervous like other exchange participants. Lots of worries harbored deep inside her heart, at the same time wondering how she can cope with the new environment, She felt much anticipated towards her exchange in Cameroon and wished that she could be there as soon as possible. She wanted to proof that she can survive and blend well in their society. Not forget to mention that she wants to proof to the world that she is making the right decision of going exchange alone. According to Sabrina, she thought it is normal to worry about this and that before going for exchange, especially when she heard some not-so-positive rumors of that country and when she is going to leave her dearest family and friends. All these are the steps for Sabrina on stepping way out of her own comfort zone.

She was very shock when she stepped out of Yaounde airport. That was because she expects the weather in Africa will be freaking hot and dry, but out of her expectation, the weather was cold, with fog surrounding her. She really appreciates the local committee of AIESEC in Africa, who were there waiting for her at the airport. She also told us that the people there were very nice and extrovert, making her felt like as if she was at her home country. All her worries went off and started to enjoy her exchange journey.

Sabrina involved in a summer project, called SUMMER 11 in Cameroon. In this project, there were 7 divisions based on social issues, namely health issues, IT, English, entrepreneur, environmental, global village and community work. Being the leader of environmental issue, Sabrina worked with six other international interns in order to create the syllabus of education material, for adults, teenagers and kids. They taught them in very interactive way about green entrepreneur, cleaning, sanitation and water point rehabilitation. It was indeed a very meaningful project.

Language barrier is the most difficult challenge for Sabrina. In Cameroon, mother tongue of the local is French. Only few of them speak English. Most of the local people do not have the privilege to study at school since they were young, thus they were lack of exposure to English language. Moreover, people there usually communicate in their local dialect. Sometimes, even the European interns find it hard to understand their language.

"I have learnt to be flexible and spontaneous. As a foreigner, you have to change your preference,

because things do not always work the way you might do in your own country.

Be open-minded and embraced the differences of others."

The funniest thing that Sabrina experienced during her exchange there was 11 people squeezed inside an economy car. Impossible? Impossible NOT! Two at the driver seat, three at the passenger seat, 5 at the back and one at the boot of the car. Can you imagine Sabrina is one of them? I bet you will never get to experience that in Malaysia! XD

"I always dream to go oversea for vacation or exchange. Africa never came across my mind.
My exchange in Africa is amazing!
Each and every moment I spent in Africa were the few most treasured moment I had ever have in my life!"

Sabrina was very excited when she was waiting for her luggage at the airport back in Malaysia. She felt dense and empty, because for the past two months, everyday was a brand new day for her by doing things that she never done before. Besides, she experienced the bitter and sweet moments with all of her friends from other countries, they endured the sad moments together, cried and shared lots of happy memories together. Coming back to Malaysia, she still holds the responsibility of helping others. Sabrina told us that we should not help others for the sake of helping or completing projects, but instead, for the sake of caring.

"My exchange is more like a summer vacation. Every day is a new experience for me.

It is the best way to spent my summer holiday by going on a meaningful exchange,
helping the local people, working with people with diverse background and so on.
I love my exchange. It was the best decision that I have ever made!!"

[Written by Yau Sze Ern]

We had seen so many dramas and programmes made in Taiwan but people around us seldom take the initiative to visit the places that usually shown on TV. Hence, this pushes Hor Ling Hong to explore Taiwan further by involving in the AIESEC Global Community Development Programme (GCDP).

Frankly, she was attracted by the famous Bubble Tea and night markets there, So, she told herself that she wants to drink Bubble Tea every day through out her time there and it should be cheaper and tastier compare to those available in Malaysia.

Before leaving Malaysia, Ling Hong was very excited and nervous at the same time as she never ride an airplane alone. She had the thought that the airplane might fall into the sea or anything bad might happen to the plane. Thus, the four-hour flight was extremely long for her, compared with the bus journey from Penang to Kuala Lumpur, which took five-hour-time relatively. However, she calmed herself by imagining the Taiwanese AIESEC members that she will be meeting when she reached there, the response of the teachers and children in the schools to meet her as a new member and etc.

Ling Hong felt so relieved when she finally met with the team leader of her project. She tried all her best to get used to the traditional Chinese characters there. Even she knows Chinese, it is still hard for her to read the traditional Chinese characters sometimes. As she departed from the airport to the university, she was amazed by the traffic and the public transport in Taiwan. It was well-developed and very convenient to the people around.

She was involved in a project called "Bridge The Gap" in Taiwan. Her responsibility is to assist the English teacher to teach English in Nan He Elementary School. Mainly, she was responsible to aid and guide the children in pronouncing English in a proper way. Sometimes, the teacher also practiced English with her. Apart from teaching English, she played her role as an ambassador of her own country and introduced Malaysian culture to the locals there.

Over her 6-weeks exchange in Taiwan, she experienced several culture shocks. The most shocking experience - Ling Hong was required to have an English name in the school. She tried to explained that she had a Chinese name and would like to continue using it. However, they explained to her that it is a must to have an English name to speak English there. Furthermore, all the students there have their own English name as well. Thus, Ling Hong chose an English name - Sun since her coursemates had been calling her this name for quite some time). Of course, she did explained to them that this does not happen in Malaysia.

Ling Hong continued with her unforgettable moments there: "... the principal asked me to pretend that I do not know Mandarin at all, as this creates a better environment to encourage the children to speak English in the class. However, another problem arises, which the children do not understand what I was trying to deliver to them. As a result, I did not manage to keep the discipline in the class. Luckily there was an experienced teacher came and told me that I am allowed to use Mandarin to conduct bi-lingual teaching in some classes. This definitely helped me to resolve the challenge that I faced."

During Ling Hong's journey in Taiwan, she lived with three other girls in a convent as it is said to be safer than to livd in the school alone. Together, they had a lot of fun moements - took a lot of funny photos, composed a lot of crazy videos and did prank calls to other AIESEC members! Rather to say it's funny, she would say they are the CRAZY gang! Even their host told them they are the most playful and craziest Exchange Participants they had ever have there!" XD It was indeed a fun and priceless journey to them!

She could not believe that she could meet so many Exchange Participants with different nationalities throughout her programme in Taiwan. Those crazy moments to them were - whenever they were hesitating to do something, it had become their culture to say: "Just F*** DO IT!". It is a total different culture that she had been exposed to all these while.

“Sometimes things might not seem right for us,
but it’s the most suitable solution at the moment.”

The moment that she appreciated the most is the moment that they got to meet with all Exchange Participants from the same Local Committee in the Trainee’s House. They shared their funny stories in the school, their home country stories and many other interesting stories.

She considered herself very lucky as she could have the chance to know all these interesting and special people, although it was quite tiring to travel on every Saturday and Sunday, as the travelling time took up more than 6 hours to reach the destination. However, all these tiredness does not put an end to their friendship. They communicate with each other so much until they felt like as if they knew each other long time ago. The real and true friends that she met during her internship are the most valuable treasure for her.

[Written by Yau Sze Ern]

Yeo Kok Chuan, 22, a student from Universiti Sains Malaysia went to Ukraine for an exchange. He was involved in a project called, Children’s Path.

Want to know more about his story? Let’s find out. =)

Why Ukraine? According to Kok Chuan, “My aim was to go Europe for an exchange, especially modern European countries. However, I chose the project that I am more interested in, instead of choosing the country that I like. Hence, I found that the project offered in Uzhgorod, Ukraine was pretty interesting and suits me. Also, it provides food and accommodation for the interns. So, I made my choice to chose LC Uzhgorod Ukraine as my exchange country.”

Kok Chuan was extremely excited before going to Ukraine. Of course, he is NERVOUS!! That was his first time staying in European country alone for 6 weeks. Ukraine is less polluted as compared to Malaysia. However, he was so afraid that he could not adapt to the environment there. Thus, he did a lot of research before he leave Malaysia, like reading blogs and articles about that country, understanding the culture there, get to know Malaysia embassy number in Ukraine and etc. He was well-prepared for the exchange!

When Kok Chuan went to Ukraine, it was mid spring (May – July). The weather is heavenly nice and comfortable. The weather there is around 18 – 25 degree Celsius , which he never experience in Malaysia. He feels great there!

The aim of project Children’s Path, is to introduce culture to the people there and teach children English. So, he taught kindergarten children, orphans and even University students English. As he needs to educate the audience both Malaysian culture and English, he make the lesson fun and interesting! Kok Chuan wore Malaysian traditional costume, sang national anthem to children and did slide show presentation about Malaysia.

Everyday is a new challenge for Kok Chuan during his exchange, but he faced is with an open heart. First was the language barrier. According to him, it was very difficult to communicate with the people there as most Ukranians do not speak English. He did learn their language, so that he could at least greet or ask for help there. Their wording system is different. It was harder than Kok Chuan thought. Therefore, he utilizes body language in his communication.

Second, working in a team with different people with different background is not an easy task, as each person has their own opinion. Although there were only three interns in the team, working together and coming to a consensus was still a tough time to them.

Kok Chuan realised and learnt that patience is the most important skill to communicate with the kids. They are hyperactive, curious, energetic and cute of course. "Ukrainian kids are simply just so adorable and cute!! Green, blue and hazel eyes." Therefore, the interns need to be energetic and think of fun ways to attract the kids’ attention. Besides, they have to ensure that the kids understood what they taught. Thus, they did attractive presentations and gave them small gifts if the kids could answer their questions in class.

AIESEC Uzhgorod, Ukraine provided Kok Chuan with a host family. Kok Chuan feels weird to live in a stranger’s house provided with own keys, cooked for him and has his own room as well. It was more than what he had expected. He was living with a mother and her son. The son could speak English quite well, but not the mom. Thus, Kok Chuan communicate with his mom using body language. To him, it was very awkward as they did not get what he was trying to say or tell. Initially it is very hard for them to communicate, but the situation turned better until he equipped himself with a basic level of Ukrainian language. And he considered himself as a good leaner of language because he learnt the language faster than other interns.

Through out Kok Chuan’s exchange, he learnt how to communicate efficiently, be flexible and more open minded, listen to others, work in group, take care of others, to be more independent, love the people that love him, appreciate what they have and other people’s culture. Most importantly, learnt how to change yourself instead of changing others.

One of his unforgettable experience he had is with the orphans in a orphanage. Orphans can choose the skills they want to learn like handicrafts, English and many more, in that orphanage. Kok Chuan and other interns were responsible to teach them English and most of them showed the willingness and passion to learn. When he first reached there, they all came to him, hugged him, took his hands and walked along with them. The orphans did not smell pleasant because they did not care much about their hygiene. They are abandoned by their parents and this school only take them in until they reach the age 18. After that, they will need to find their own jobs outside. Each time they hold his hands, it just feel so cold, as they only wore very few pieces of clothes. What makes him felt so touched is that every time he went there, the orphans smile brightly and their innocent laughter filled the air.

His responsibility was to teach them English but he realised that being their friend is more important, as English can’t be learnt within a week or month. All these orphans need love. Kok Chuan was trying all his best to give his love to all these poor children.

He remembered one, it was a birthday session, where the owner of the orphanage gave presents to some orphans. The presents were sponsored by few Germans with a letter in each present. He was there helping, and the orphanage owner asked him to read out the content of the letter to an orphan. The letter was so touching and warm that he cried while reading it to the orphan. It was kinda embarrassed though, but it was truly meaningful to Kok Chuan. Unfortunately, the orphan beside him did not understand what he ws reading, because he could not understand English. Kok Chuan then realised that the orphans do not even know when is their birthday and the reason they received presents. The orphans keep requesting to get another present in the coming week. "We always celebrate our birthday with friends and family, get what we wished for, study in university, but for these orphans... we should always appreciate what we had and having now. Love the people around us! There is a nice quote saying: I don't have time to hate people because I am busy loving people that loved me."

Kok Chuan loves AIESEC Uzhgorod, Ukraine a lot! They gave him surprise upon his arrival in Uzhgorod. They did a prank on him. Kok Chuan called the AIESECers when he was going to reach Uzhgorod but they told him they were still sleeping. But the fact was, they were all waiting for him in the bus station waiting to give him a SURPRISE!!... They were hiding behind all the interns and jumped out suddenly to hugged Kok Chuan with a warmth and surprise reception.

Kok Chuan rate his exchange a 9.5 out of 10, as the love that had given by LC Uzhgorod to interns was more than enough.

“I had learnt and gained a lot.

But there is still a lot more for me to learn, of course.
I just experienced an unforgettable trip in my whole life.

I still love Malaysia as it’s my home country.

More patriotic I guess. Haha… ”

Gan Mei Ling, an AIESEC member from Universiti Sains Malaysia, made her choice to go exchange to Taiwan during her four-months semester break. The project she was involved in is “Talent of Youth”. Wondering why she chose Taiwan instead of other countries? That is because she always wanted to know more about Taiwan not just through TV or movie but with her own experience and get the chance to see everything with her own eyes. Other than that, getting the chance to experience their lifestyle and learn what Taiwanese believe in is also what Mei Ling wanted to gain.

Believe it or not? This is Mei Ling’s first time traveling aboard alone! She is very excited and looking forward for her exchange. Tons of questions kept popping out in her mind. “What kind of people will I met ? Am I going to adapt the new environment? etc* ” Mei Ling told us how she felt before going for the exchange, “It feels so insecure and wonder am I really going overseas? ” But, deep inside her heart she believes that she is able to go through this exchange successfully.

During Mei Ling’s exchange in Taiwan, her role is to assist the English teachers in their classes which consist of Standard 5 students. At the same time, she holds the role of an ambassador of her own country by sharing Malaysian culture during assembly and classes in that school too. Responses from the students were just surprisingly amazing, as they got really excited listening about the Malaysian culture that was being presented. Besides, she also got the chance to be involved as a facilitator in a Summer Camp which is organized for primary students.

On the other hand, she faced a few challenges too. For instance, communication. She was assigned to work hand in hand with another intern from Malaysia under the same school. Although both of them are from Malaysia, they have completely different thoughts and personalities. Thus, it's a challenge for her. Through this, she learnt that tolerance is the most essential thing in every friendship. In order to build a strong team, commitment and willingness to work together is very important.

In the period of 6 weeks in Taiwan, she had learnt to appreciate and value things that she had in her life. “Be happy and contented with our life, especially our family members who care and love us for who we are.”

Of course there are lots of funny stories to tell about her exchange. “The funniest thing that happened during my exchange was going to Seven-Eleven and calling tons of orders with friends until the shop keeper recognized us without mention any names or address to the deliver. We met lots of students over there. We even hang out with the students and the teachers. Not forgot to mention that we usually go karaoke with them.”

This is an awesome experience. She never imagine that she will be able to step out of Malaysia, but she just made it and brought a brand new experience for her own self. She had colored her life with a new chapter!

Mei Ling shared her exchange experience and told us that she really like her exchange experience a lot. She like the feeling of simplicity and heart-warming when she interact with the locals and get to understand what they understand about their own county, Malaysia and the world.

She felt sad that her exchange period in Taiwan is so short. Time passes so fast. Now she is addicted to the lifestyle there and want to go for an exchange again! However, during her exchange she did miss Malaysia so much and she feel so proud to be a Malaysian due to lots of reasons.

“The world changes every minute.
Nothing is impossible, nothing can't be done, problems comes with solutions all the time.
We just need to get a way to solve it our self, in the way to learn a lesson.
I love and appreciate my experience in Taiwan. ” ~ by Mei Ling

Exchange Stories Vol. 006

2011-09-15T05:46:00.000+08:00

Grace Alexander, from Universiti Sains Malaysia, made her choice to go for an exchange in Vietnam right after her exam finals. Knowing Vietnam is one of the countries in South-East Asia that has the most population living with HIV/AIDS, she decided to go there to educate the people on HIV/AIDS. Besides, she is also curious about the way of living of people in the third world country.

She was pumped up before stepping out of the country for an exchange. However, she was mentally ready for what she is going to face there - the environment, the people, the language, the weather,the food... everything that'll apparently give her a culture shock when she get there. Grace was extremely excited of getting herself ready to travel abroad ALONE for the first time and also nervous about the project that she is going to handle in Vietnam. "Two months is very long indeed" she said to herself, but she confidently continues, "the longer it is, the more experience I'll gain, the more chances and opportunities I'll get and the more people I'll be able to educate."

For the first two weeks in Vietnam, Grace felt so lost. Her 'mentally prepared' brain wasn't mentally prepared at all. It was so different than what she had imagined. But, thanks to her hosts, friends and herself for not giving up so easily, she quickly learnt and picked up whatever she could and need. To be honest, she was doing much better than she expected, and she felt blessed!

Grace was involved in a project called LIVING WITH HIV awareness campaign. They went to primary and secondary schools, universities and international schools to educate the students there on HIV/AIDS, using different types of syllabus prepared. Grace having fun time educating students in primary schools, as the workshops were conducted in story telling and a more interesting and simple way of explanation. For two months in Vietnam, the project team had educated around 28 schools and 3000 over students.

Apparently, the main attraction for the workshop is the condom demonstration, where students get superbly excited about them. Sometimes before workshops, they travel to respective schools to do some promotion about the workshop and that really involves hard work because they have to travel to and fro the school every time, but it never stops them from doing so. It turns out they saw and met lots of interesting things all the time. Other than workshops, they also went to the HIV/AIDS shelter homes for visitation. It was really heart breaking to see all of them there. Having to see so many people getting educated every week about HIV/AIDS made Grace even more glad and happier than ever!

Being in Vietnam for two months, Grace first ever challenge was the language barrier, as none of them speaks English except private university students, taxi drivers, certain street sellers and tourist attraction places. So, when Grace first got there, she have to communicate with the locals with sign language. Only after a few days she got to learnt a few important words of their language in order to 'survive'. After two weeks, she was able to order food and ask for directions!

The second challenging part was getting lost every time she needs to go somewhere other than the central of Vietnam. Travelling alone on the public bus with a hysterical map that make her eyes squint and head spin every time she look at it is hard! Adding to that, Saigon is overcrowded and full of motorbikes, so even by walking by the streets and crossing he roads was a challenge to her! The first time Grace crossed the roads in Saigon took her 15 minutes!!! Also, sitting on the local's motorbikes gives her a heart attack because it seems that in any second they will collide with the motorcyclist next to them. But all these gave her the touch of the real local daily living in Vietnam.

Challenges surrounded Grace in these two months eventually made her realised and learnt a lot of things, and she went through all of them step by step. She already knew the streets in Saigon pretty well, and she can even order food and ask for directions by herself. Now, she only need few seconds to cross the streets, and she even love riding on bikes!! More important, her knowledge on HIV/AIDS improved tremendously!

These 2 months time in Vietnam had taught her a lot and she found herself learning so much that she could not get to learn in her own country, Malaysia. And so, she started to appreciate everything when she was in Saigon. "I've learnt that the commitment that one gives to a project and teamwork are very essential." The whole project team that Grace involved worked really hard for what they are doing. Every time Grace see students listening and concentrating to what they said, she was moved and felt so glad, happy and relieved. She believed they have changed lives around Saigon and saved them too! She was even glad when many of them asked questions regarding HIV/AIDS.

"I've gained trust, when students actually confront us individually and shared their private stories about HIV/AIDS, believing in us that we're the answer to their questions all these years."

Through this exchange, Grace had learnt to grow and love. Understanding each kids and watching them fighting against the diseases had inspired her. She come to understand that most of the child born with HIV/AIDS only lives up to the age of 13 or 14. The only thing they wish and hope for is love and a chance in their life. Grace also learnt how to cherish every opportunities that she have.

Grace knew that she will be educating students when she applied for this exchange, but she actually did not imagine or expect that she actually learnt more than what she had expected. "It's the stay there that had inspired me to go forth for everything while I still can. It's the experience there that had lead me into a whole new dream." Grace wasn't really concern about HIV/AIDS in the beginning.

Time flies. Two months passed real fast and she felt reborn coming back to Malaysia. Grace had found her passion from this exchange. So she hope she could encourage more people to grab this opportunity to experience this priceless experience like she did.

"Thanks to AIESEC, I've believe I have achieved what I wanted and more.

I now have, as what I like to put it, a new vision towards the end of my path.

What I've learnt is to eye for every opportunity that is given to you.

When you come across any opportunity, just take it and worry about it later.

Let your heart lead the way.

Time does not resist us. It is us that resist time."

Always give your heart a chance to learn more. It's never wrong to be wrong. - Grace Alexander

Exchange Stories Vol. 005

2011-09-03T16:15:00.002+08:00

Lim Gene-Harn (Japheth), an architectural student from Universiti Sains Malaysia, went for exchange in Shanghai, China, in his first year of his university life.

He chooses Shanghai for a few advantages in his personal agenda, namely the world's largest expo - Shanghai Expo, and as well he believe in Shanghai being the most vibrant and culturally modern mixed urbanscape in the whole China, proven by being the economic center of whole China.

Before going to China, Gene-Harn was feeling challenged because of his mandarin language level, as he thought it could be a barrier for communication. At the same time, he was also feeling anxious, as it was the first time for him to step out of Malaysia and to travel alone in a foreign land. But he knows... that this experience will change him entirely by able to see things for himself abroad.

Reaching the land of China for the first time in his life, Gene-Harn felt "This is it!!". The moment he stepped out of the plane, his heart told him "I knew I was on a journey to experience and understand myself better because it was only me, myself", feeling like there was a total new chapter and new connections in his life, that he would need to transcend whatever he had learnt before and apply in the new environment.

Eight weeks in Shanghai, he was involved in a project called Green Power Now project, which has a learning partner from Greenovate. Together with 6 team mates, they were trained under Greenovate and educated more than 3000 students in higher secondary schools. They also helped the NGOs in any of its side activities, including MAGIC MADE Green in China project, which encourages the participants to come out with innovative designs from waste that is marketable. It was totally a brand new things to learnt.

Even though he was from Chinese education background, one of the challenges that he faced there is communication. That is because communication is always different everywhere because of culture. However, that is the funniest experience he had. Chinese words are often categorized into modern and traditional writings. Thus, for a modern Chinese educated person like him, he tend to treat all the words in Shanghai as it, so he misintepreted a few streets name, as the map does not have English translation then. So, he spent few hours walking blindly on the streets. However, he discovered more interesting parts of Shanghai.

According to Gene-Harn, "I have learnt independence and gained my passion on Environmental issue. It is indeed one of the most essential turning point of life I had. I learnt of cultural acceptance and a better understanding of myself and my country." When he was back in Malaysia, many friends of his noticed that he had some positive changes in him.

Going for an exchange was not what he could imagine before entering university, because he did now know there would be such wonderful opportunity and organization that provide such experience. Ending his exchange, he noticed there was always a force in him that pushes him forward in everything he does.

"My exchange experience is really indeed, an EXCHANGE experience. Such exchange does not only help me but others, because a lot of locals in China would know more about Malaysia and about cross cultural practices. This programme is essential for all parties. I would really encourage everyone to go for any exchange ASAP, as the earlier you realize more about your own and the world, the more you will feel the urge to do something!"

2011-02-20T00:25:00.002+08:00

B.U.D.A.Y.A is one of AIESEC USM projects that aims to bridge culture understanding across the globe. Sounds alien? It sounded really alien to me at first, because all these while I'm not exposed to issues like cultural understanding or social responsibilities (LOVE) LOL!

The project consist of cultural classes and global village involving exchange participants (EPs).

Cultural classes are conducted by exchange participants to introduce and teach their culture (clothing, cooking, festivals..etc) to youths in USM.

Global Village is a one day event where exchange participants from different country to display their identity to public. This event expose the public to different types of culture in one place, that is also why we use travelling to countries for free!

L.O.V.E.

2011-01-25T00:28:00.001+08:00

L.O.V.E also known as lifting others through volunteer engagement is one of LC USM project. It is also the first project I participate in. XD

L.O.V.E aims to to connect NGO with youth to champion social economic issues and thus to help creating a loving and caring community.

In another words, to introduce available NGOs to youth and to promote volunteerism among youths. Before I started to work on this project, I have no idea why is there a need to do so, don't people already know about NGOs already?

The answer is that, yes they do but very little. Most of us know the existence of NGOs but we do not know what they do and how we could contribute. So this project would convenient youths to find out more on NGOs and help them decide how they could and would love to contribute.

On the 25th of January 2011, L.O.V.E is held in DK Foyer in USM main campus. 16 NGOs were present to educate and promote volunteerism among youths.

(Before that, I have no idea there are this many, but infact there are many more; fighting in the background to create a better society)

They are now travelling around giving lesson to people on how to minimize household waste. They had done their part, have you? (Hmm.. Have I?)

Of course there are many more NGOs present on that day but I wouldn't want to bored you all by explaining every single one of them here XD.

MyLDS

2010-12-28T00:28:00.005+08:00

MyLDS stands for Malaysia Leadership Development Seminar and it's the most anticipated conference of the year!

The first 2 days were allocated for Pre- MyLDS, where we come up with cheers and learn our LC Square dance. At the same time some bonding within the LC itself. All kinds of games and simulation are being conducted.

LC Square Dance Practise

Some Japanese Man Force Motivation Song

On the third day, MyLDS officially started with the introduction of the facilitators team, the briefing of agenda and the division of the delegates into team. The agenda includes Entrepreneurship Simulation, talks by AIESEC partners, Discussion of global issues and last but not least fun games!

I was being elected as the leader of my team, and I'd learned or realize a few things myself. =) I'd always thought that leaders are just people who got lucky, but I was wrong. What I'd thought to be easy turn out not so easy.

We had this entrepreneurship Simulation where we're suppose to develop a product and sell it. At first we were doing quite well until at the end we were required to merge into a whole lot sum of people working on a task. Things got messy as the group got bigger, it got harder to handle.

Till then only I'd realize, I have much more to learn about leadership and people + task management. For this alone, I find it all worth it to cramp my schedule to make time for this conference =).

Entrepreneurship Simulation

The last event that I attended would be the global village, but it didn't end there.

I missed out the Christmas Party, Mock Malaysia Comittee Election and also the AMAN Night (One Night Stand, phewwit!!); All the good stuff =(

Global Village: Brazil (LC USM)

MyLDS is my first national conference and this conference alone, I'd met and work with more people then I had for the past few years =).

L.E.A.D

2010-09-25T00:31:00.000+08:00

L.E.A.D (Leadership, Exploration and Development) was my first ever AIESEC conference. It was a 3 days 2 night conference at Bantalay, 5 minutes walk from home. LOL!

INTRODUCTION NIGHT

The conference officially started with an introduction act by the facilitating team.

Ice Breaking

After that we were randomly sort into groups and given limited time to come up with cheers, roll calls, group name and group logo. We're suppose to come up with quite a number of roll calls, it really squeeze every creativity out of us. =.= But oh well, it really put all of us together as a team and work.

Presenting our Group

At night itself, we had sculling competition and Inspector Game! The two games I realize present in most conference. Back then it was the first time I heard of those games.

Sculling

(Eating Race- not normal food)

Inspector Game's really interesting! The facilitators will act out scenes following a murder. And we're suppose to solve the murder by linking the scen

es together. REAL COOL STUFF!

---End of Intro Night--

In LEAD we were further exposed to team work and self exploration which we often overlooked or didn't bother improving on. There were entrepreneur simulations, personality test (very interesting) and different slots of interactive classes where we were taught on different thing.

Signing up for classes the night before

One of the classes I remembered attending was How to be a good salesperson conducted by K.Y. There are few more which I don't remember. (ARGH!! Consequences of delaying a post for 9 months: It's 15/6/2011 today, but I modified the date post to organize my blog posts better)

The inevitable Square Dances

Sugar Cubes

How it works: Write encouragements or any note to anyone you feel like writing it to and put into their envelope. A good time to confess your love too, because they would never know who you are if you don't want them to know! ( Kidding hehe..)

We had this angel mortal mechanism, where the angel will take care of the mortal. It aims to bring warmth to the camp, as to everyone is far away from home (excluding me).

Me and My guardian angel

I couldn't find the photo of me and my mortal, Yoke Ying. XD

Hope to see you there too!
