20/1/07 - AIESEC Memeber Committee Elections -

Congrats to all my AIESEC frennies who'd gotten elected into the National Member Committee, and kudos to the Various elected Presidents of the 3 unis. After a long day of nominations and elections and tons of speeches and the ritualistic wet sabotage of the successful elects, i would say the rightful talent will ascend their places and are all geared for an upcoming new term in May. I have no doubt they'd fare well in their positions in the 07/08 term. Gambatte!

Vicious eager seniors.. Helpless junior elects..

Mayas is gloating at Imran...

...and gets his retribution. Haa!

Visayon (front in white) is soaked as well!

AIESEC NUS... we missed the rest who cldn't come..

16/1/07 - AIESEC in NUS Overseas Internship Info Talk

After 2-3 mths of preparation, and especially in the last week leading up to the event, the SNRD team and me worked our butts off to pull off this important event. Getting approval, vetting and printing of posters and brochures, Invitating speakers, Endless coordination, Rounding up support, Sleepless nights... I breathed and lived AIESEC for 2 straight weeks, and i think i spoke very little to non-AIESEC people, that it felt surreal suddenly when i was talking bout non-aiesecy stuff u know..

The big day came, and i rem being obviously fidgety for our event that day. If that wasnt the case, my head would roll.. Hahh! Remembered being jittery half an hour before the event and i saw NOBODY 'cept for Phoebe & Aaron. And then all of a sudden, as if tinklebell juz sprinkled some magic powder over LT 18, all my EBs and AIESEC members appeared, all dressed up for the occasion - formal code, which i insisted. So cool, so cool. And in the next 5-10 minutes, LT 18 was filled to the brim.

Timing was so crucial. Imagine running a live show, but without the cameras. Lights dim, show begins.

Aaron lured the crowd with his $10 magic, absolutely stunning. Phoebe picked up the batton with fiery passion. Then, handphones became walkie-talkies. Numerous people were my spies and timekeepers as we tried to pace the time correctly for our vip to enter - Joan Tay, the Director of Career Svc NUS Biz Sch. An impactful speech she came to give, then graciously left right afterwards. Then an amusing entertaining by sharing by our senior Yamini. ANd finally the brave souls who stood at the frontline of the firing Q&A session.
