My AIESEC Journey does not stop here- EGM [29/1/2011]

22/1/2011- The day I witness the election process of Vice president Member Committee of AIESEC Malaysia in Taylor's College. Apart from the super duper big gigantic grand college, I witnessed 2 of my own team member running as a candidate. Both of them have not much experience but they took up the courage to stand in front of the whole plenary, delivering their speech and strategies, with hope to bring AIESEC Malaysia to greater height.

Seeing them so passionate, what about me? With only 5 months left for my term, I have to start planning for the future. Am I going to end this term and that's it?

 Local Committee AIESEC in UKM

My very first department's team member =)

Finance & Administration Department from MC, UPM, UTM and UKM.

I finally decided to run for Executive Board 2011/2012 and I just went through what Member Committee candidates went through on last EGM 29/1/2011. Today, thinking back, I still couldn't believe I actually went through the whole scary shit process. 

I delivered speech in front of the plenary. I answered questions from externals and from the plenary. I was freaking nervous. My hands were trembling so hard. At times, I felt that moment was a dream. If I were doing this few years back, I'll cry the shit out in front of the stage. But I knew what I want. At the same time, I never expected so much. I'll give my best, experiencing the process and let the result worrying for the later purpose.

I remember delivering my closing speech. I didn't prepare for my closing speech, seriously. What am I going to say in 5 minutes? This is what I said (roughly);

"Do you guys know I was once labelled as nerd? Just because of my results, people call me nerd. I wan damn pissed. I want to prove them wrong. I joined AIESEC. I get busy with AIESEC and still maintain my results. I developed far far far far better than my friends/coursemates and I still maintain my results. I proved them wrong.


Whatever the results later, I don't care that much. Because I know, if I flunk here, I'll have more opportunities awaits me in AIESEC. This is just the beginning, not the end."


I gained all the plenary's confidence that day. Having water poured over me that day, signifying I had passed Vote of Confidence (VOC) is something I couldn't express my feelings for. I've made it through the first stage, which I never think of being able to do before. I did it. And I knew nothing is impossible........

Thank you everyone.
