Why did I joined MyLDS? Well, the one and only reason is to widen my network. Yes, I've been missing a lot of AIESEC gathering and I barely know anyone outside iGIP(my AIESEC department). I took up this Global Villager position in the chief delegate team, which I'm really regretted before pre pre MyLDS.
It took me a lot of time, doing preparations, meetings, this and that. And I'm actually frustrated with all these job especially during my finals. I couldn't believe why I commit into this in the first place!
I survived!
until pre pre MyLDS, I finally found my sense of belonging. Sad but true, after weeks of meetings and I only found my sense of belonging to the team? Time went by, from being uncomfortable with literary EVERYONE to being one of the team, making new friends and doing crazy things together.
I had a really bad experience during pre MyLDS. My dad called me that evening and ask for the car. SHIT, I need to use it dad, and I wont be home, not until 2am! After several calls, my father finally took the taxi instead of insisting me handing over the car to him. Yea, I wish I can pass the car to him, If I'm free enough to drive out of the campus to do so. Sorry dad and thanks for tolerating!
Well, I parked my car inside collage three, and when I'm about to leave, around 1am, the gate were closed! OMG! I broke into the guard house but I couldn't open the gate! SHIT! everyone was tired, my friends were all sleeping already! I just have to gave up! I went to my friend's room (Ching Hou), he said he will have an extra bed for me and woke him up for help. He clean the bed for me while I'm taking my bath. I was so touched! I woke him up in the middle of the night and yet, he is doing this for me! Thanks dude!
I'm forced to sleep without getting a proper shower and without having a bed sheet as I left my luggage in my home. Woke up around 5am and tried finally the gate was opened around 630am. rushed home to pickup my luggage and here I go again, back to the university! Oh, and my dad was late for his appointment because of fetching me. Sorry daddy!
The first few days were tough! I volunteered to be the team leader, yea, we have a lot more ppl in my team who are even more capable of taking up this role. when it comes to team challenge, when we were asked to form a mock local committee in our team, I tried to push the president position away as I know, some of my teammates can handle this well, again, we didn't come to a conclusion after a long period of discussion, I, again, this time were kind-of-forced to took up this position.
I was lost, I barely know the whole structure of AIESEC as I missed the info section, LLDS and a lot of AGs. SHIT! there were three stage of challenge, planning, execution and problem solving. And I don't have a clear picture of this whole thing! My friends from the other groups seems to be really busy with their local committee planning and stuff, and I'm always so free! We only had one midnight meeting which only last for 30 minutes, while my friends seems to be really busy with their midnight meetingsss! They are having midnight meeting with their own local committee every midnight!!
Well, it turns out to be something that we are proud of! after all three challenges were done, I find that we are actually efficient enough after all by not overdoing things! haha. all three challenges went pretty well, and we are happy with it! I have to say, my teammates were all very independent! They all are great and smart individuals which actually lessen my burden! Thank you guys! You guys are awesome!
Well, the gala night, it turn out to be a very disappointing night, MBS' prom night is even better then this! But something so meaningful happened that night. something bring us together, 24 of us, from 5 different places around Asia gathering in one same place, chilling and chatting. That night is what I'm looking for, that night is why I'm here!
one last highlight event of MyLDS is the closing plenary sharing section. I was the first one to walk up on the stage, took up the mike and TALK! I couldn't remember what I talked about, probably some crap, I didn't expect myself to do this in front of 700 people, without a script in my mind! our seniors keep on encouraging us to do this through out the conference, we were told that UUM is always quiet when it comes to sharing section, no one ever notice the existence of UUM in the national plenary, well today, I took the led, to be the first one to walk up and speak! this might be nothing to the others, but it means a lot to me, because I broke the silence when no one dares to talk!
Anyway, here goes my MyLDS!
