I want to Thank Her
My AIESEC journey has came to an end on 30 June 2013. One of my VPs asked me to rate my team experience, I rated my leadership experience as bad. He then further asked me if it was because of the mis-match of my vision and their characters, I nodded to him. I think the moment when I nodded my head, I knew I have failed terribly as I resorted to blaming others for not being able to catch up with my pace or expectations.
To best summarize my failure was, I failed to groom leaders out of them, nor to be able to inspire creative capacity to the level that I expect. Being a big fan of John C. Maxwell that advocates one of the golden leadership principles, that is a true leader creates more leaders, I was clouded by strong sense of guiltiness at that point of time.
It was until 3 months ago, I teamed up with her to start experimenting on frying lotus, because I convinced her into believing that lotus snack could be a relevant, healthy substitute of pop corns and everyday's snack. We did the process together, she was kind of merely following my orders, I felt weird too to instruct her. I done the studies, preparing the materials, much were covered, the only thing was to fry it, that's the part I was afraid of, so I let her to do it. So, when everything was done, I sat down and asked her about her feeling if she felt uncomfortable about the manner I conducted myself throughout the experimentation, she said to me that she did not feel the slightest offend, and she felt that I will be a good leader or an employer one day, because she equated a leader is a doer. Only by setting a good example, only can he convince and lead.
Thank you, mum. You believed me when I doubted myself. I knew the things that you don't mention doesn't mean I am good at it, I knew there are pretty much rooms for improvement.
I will never forget feedback given by my teammates in AIESEC during the last feedback session. I need to be a good listener and learn to trust people more.

做Deli-Deli，不苦
2013年10月10日（雨）
10月10日，听起来像10全10美，不料天不作美，下起了一场大雨。5.15pm了，我和另一位友人皱着眉头，在没办法的情况下冒着大雨从faculty一路跑回宿舍。因为5.30pm我就一定要出发去送外卖了，不然迟到不太妙。然而，一路上跑回来时，眼见校园里非常塞车，心想我肯定不要驾车了。
想了一会儿，我就打了一通电话给一位宿舍的朋友，赵轩。他很快就答应借我摩托，还叮咛我要小心驾驶，真是谢天谢地。
我很庆幸踏着摩托车，因为一路上越过了很多很多的车子，如果我刚才做错决定坚持驾车，我想我就得替自己的决定付出惨痛的代价了。在心里也不停地提醒自己“要小心驾驶”。
过了一会儿，我就抵达拿饭的地方。17包饭要装在摩托车的小篮子里，实在有点棘手。但也许我太习惯面对紧急危机的情况，我不慌不忙地把大包小包的饭盒挂在摩托车的把柄。虽然有点冒险，不过跟自己说“驾慢一点就OK了，sap sap 水”。在那里也遇到以前AIESEC的朋友，自己淋得像落汤鸡也不管他人的想法了。当我要离开老板娘的店铺时，余光看见Aunty也似乎很不放心的。我就驾得更steady，用身体语言说明自己ok，不必担心。
雨量也突然变大突然变小，一路上交通也很多。我也已经用了友人透露给我的最短的路线回到马大。
大雨天送外卖，苦得很甜。甜，是因为自己在用自己的青春做着有意义的事情，为人服务带来方便。苦，在于自己矛盾自己的做法好像为自己带来不必要的麻烦。自己也不是怕麻烦，只是在想我应该不会想要用同一种方式一直这样做下去吧？当初决定做外卖这种事时就已经可预料到会有雨天，生意（实在不太喜欢用这个词）不好，甚至失败。
我想我一定要再次在这个Deli-Deli里做出一些改变。所谓”穷则变，变则通，通则久。”
我要Deli-Deli会不再依靠宝利龙(Polystyrene)，走向环保。
我也在谈着增加新的一个Menu，就是鸡饭，为学生们带来更多选择。
水果，要加什么水果呢？我也还在慎重地想。
我希望有更多人知道Deli-Deli，并光顾它，因为说实话，我deal到的是最好的价格和品质，最好的哪里只拥有少过50人的食物呢？不能接受。所以一定要改变！
我要diversify Deli-Deli的生意模式，最终变成强大的marketing platform。到时，光顾我的顾客们可以得到free vouchers，我们也可为那些商家们提供廉价的广告平台，从此得到一些sponsorships。这样，Deli-Deli就达到了双赢的情况。
我憧憬Deli-Deli最终可以提供大学生们便宜又好吃的食物（大概是因为自己在槟城生活太久，被“便宜又好吃”的食物给宠坏了）。我们顾及学生们的健康，时间，金钱，团结及提倡环保。我有信心，在这个4个月里头，熬出一片天，而这片天是属于大家的。
一个要的人，万夫阻挡不了他的。虽然苦，但不怕苦。把吃苦，当作补。这句我喜欢，是陈礼祥学长个人座右铭，现在也是我的了。Justin Hao老师也曾说过，”怕苦的人，苦一辈子；不怕苦的人，苦半辈子。“ 我想，我需要在付出一点心思，人们最终能看得懂我的一片诚意。
谢谢Napoleon Low (庆杰)的扶持和付出，有他帮我扩展KK7的市场，实在谢谢他。

Music Showcase 2011
Music Showcase 2011 was held in Experimental Theater inside UM.
I never realize UM has such a place, it's quite spacious, but not as big as a stadium. I especially like the PA system over there.

I went there alone, with the sole intention of supporting my dear "sis" Carmen Leong =)
When I saw the programme pamphlet, I saw she was the choir conductor, I felt so proud of her =)
The whole experience was very memorable.
I went there alone and luckily found Ali, a friend of mine whom I met in AIESEC. Very happy to have him beside. Honestly speaking, I wish someone special sitting beside me enjoying this very sentimental moment. =P
Don't get me wrong, ok? Ali is a good companion =) Thank you for listening to my stupid jokes and laugh together like stupid too :P
Till the last show, the choir was performing some Christmas songs, and some people were pulled out to the stage. Under the spotlight, I recognized someone familiar, which I initially invited her but said she wouldn't go, mana tau bumped into her pula.
I rushed up to the stage and nudged her. Then, we continued singing Feliz Navidad. That was memorable, somehow exciting too.
Feliz Navidad
Feliz Navidad
Feliz Navidad
Prospero Año y Felicidad.

Good night, gonna resume serious things.

Encountered with BWW twice in a short 2 months
I met with the emcee who hosted a leadership and world open entrepreneurship talk today in law faculty canteen, UM.
We didn't meet directly but was through a woman Cafrey. She taken my name card by chance when AIESEC ran in-campus recruitment drive from 14th - 16th Nov 2011. I was very surprise she has high opinion on me even though we never met before. My first impression was that is this some fraud! I just couldn't accept praises from absolute strangers, and she did it so confidently. ~_~" Isn't this suspicious.
She called me on my phone on Monday and proposed a somewhat business partnership. That time I was in the hurry to attend PTUM Cultural Night, so I just excused myself. She wanted to see me on Thursday and was asking whether would I be free.
I was hesitant whether to meet a total stranger or not at that point of time. I glanced at my timetable a while and ponder. Yes, I am free on Thursday lunch hour. Owing to my curiosity and desire to explore new experience, eventually I agreed to meet her in the place she suggested-Law Faculty Cafeteria.
When I reached there, I couldn't identify she. After a few moment of searching, there was a woman sitting beside a guy who waved at me. Ah ha, that must be her. And yeah we shook hand upon our first meet, I behaved like as if negotiating over some multi-billions project HAHAHAHA.
The rest of the conversation, I would like to keep it personal. One thing I could tell you is that believe in Law of Attraction, it seems like chances happened in the way how and what people envision on his/her mind. The desire to be an entrepreneur is no longer a vague dream. But I am not that type of person who LIKE and ACCEPT new thing so easily. Similarly, once I choose to like it and accept it, there'll no turning back, it's either do or die matter.
Do you know, the world is so small a place. The guy sitting beside Cafrey is the emcee who hosted the leadership and World Free Entrepreneurship Day international event which I had attended in September this year. Mr. Yeap, is what I know about him thus far. Again, after listening to my introduction and my involvement in various types of activities in university, he was amazed and added that he was a MPMUM too, implying he's a UM grad. The rest of the conversation between him and I were amazing.
Despite what they have said, I am still pondering whether to take up the challenges.
Still have much things to do, got to resume my works first.
Pen off here first.

假期，是7天的星期一
我的假期
每一天都好像是星期一
除了和老朋友去看了两部电影【Immortal】&【Real Steel】
和回去Berapit探访我的干家庭之外
其余的时间
都花在了公事和功课上
一群没有责任感的project mates连累我不少
幸亏有一群马来队友很支持一下
帮上不少忙
我妈
说了同样那句话
“你就是总是不爱和厉害的人一起做事，总是……”
我笑着，
然后否认
我从来不觉得我的队友差的，尤其是华人的
算了
前些日子我申请了要帮AIESEC MC个大忙
同时也要boost my own learning experiences
但又再被拒绝了
这一次这位MC很好
有提供我feedbacks
她highlight的东西主要是三个：Stubborn leads to failure, tends to blame external factors和inflexibility
其实，
我最近是较火爆些。
老实说，
当我接到这样的comments时，第一个反应是“我没有你想象中那么烂”
我觉得
我也得承认
我是很固执
因此我才赢得那么多欣赏我的人
和非常棒的敌人
我是很矛盾的人
一边想当圣人没有脾气
一边又是要用脾气教训一些难搞的人……
再加上最近功课考试逼近
讲真
我来到那种很累了的地步
我唯一的安慰
就是我的团队，朋友和家人罢了
但还是得顶着一下
我一定尝试人生中最惨痛的失败和耻辱一次
我才能学到最多
而我知道最后一次我尝试这种失败的滋味是相当久的一段日子了
所以，
照理来讲
我的下一个“学习点”，“转折点”，即“失败”
应该很靠近了
而我知道这是一种我期待已久的“成长”
For GROWTH, I must embrace failure wholeheartedly.
Tomorrow going back to KL.
Let's the journey starts then...

Vow not to be a Disorganized person is not a SYOK SENDIRI issue anymore!
After reading an article titled
12 Tips for an Organized Desk
then spent a minute in reflection
I found out that I was very disorganized at my desk back in my hostel.
My mum doesn't need to ask me if my examination was around the corner,
she just needed to take a look at my desk.
the more disorganized my desk was, the more I've studied in the day while she's gone for work.
She knew. She smiled. And I was relieved that she's satisfied.

She knew. She smiled. And I was relieved that she's satisfied.
Sometimes, I purposely made my desk looked untidy with books stacking one another just to give a convincing sight to my mum that I read a lot.
If you were to take a glimpse at the height of the stacking books, you probably could be well reminded of the Mount. Everest.
If you were to take a glimpse at the height of the stacking books, you probably could be well reminded of the Mount. Everest.
This habit followed me to my University life.
The university books are thicker than anything else. Imagine you have to carry one of these books in your bag and walk around the university as if wandering around in the park. My sweats back then were never taste salty, I bet you know why.

That's part of the reasons I want to popularize the idea of eBook, eTest Papers, eNotes etc. Everything saved in a 1.5 inch pendrive. If I could achieve it, my juniors will treat me as a saviour wakaka. But the main point is not to be their savious lar.
I've been grown accustomed to disorganization despite despite learning so much organizational skills, isn't this irony? Haiz... Something gotta be done. Otherwise, I will be starting my new semester having little difference from previous two semesters. Time flies, didn't it?
I, LEE CHIA CHUN, hereby vowed to be an organized person from today onward & will adopt "Clear a 1 foot by 1 foot area" policy before I leave for the day.
Well, I am done with this. Sign off TIDILY with my little signature

15/07/2011 A Day that I don't want to be in facebook
That doesn't mean that I am always on facebook. It's just that something that I don't want it to happen all this while has happened. I have sensed that this will come, but deny it every time. I saw it in my dream, but I erased it every time. I am sorry that I have to write them in as vague as possible.
In time, we will meet and have to face each other. He would have bitter feelings toward me because of that weird coincidence that happened. It's a strange thing that you can become someone's enemy without even have any contact before. Perhaps he tried to say something to me. But I avoided him. Coz an angry man will not be rational in his speech.

Coz an angry man will not be rational in his speech.
Right now, my feelings are in a total blend.
I am anticipated for his coming, to know this person in a better sense.
... am afraid something bad would happen between us. His prejudice against me is the major obstacle in forming mutual trust and stable friendship.

... am disappointed about myself for being a loser. Firstly was because I couldn't do anything, for someone's decision did not stand me in good stead. Secondly, I didn't make myself clear enough.
... am intimidated coz he is intimidating. Hmmm... not the look la.
... helpless coz I duno how to handle such a situation.
... helpless coz I duno how to handle such a situation.
Hapless, despair moment.
I couldn't be honest as the way I usually was, because this time it's different.
I told myself countless time that I must be able to look beyond the circumstances at times. I must prove I can.
So, let bygone be bygone.
I must get rid of the selfish idea (partly because I am not good at being a selfish person) that I must win in this competition. And I shouldn't view it as a competition in the first place. In fact, I guess I nid to continuously losing. Haha.

My 1st day in a English Debate practice
1 word to describe my experience: Tiresome
Tired to keep pace with the lengthy and fast flowing words from the experienced speakers. Obviously, I have a long way to go and need a lot of efforts. For now, I don't dare to foresee any chances of success of speaking in front of Dr. Chandra, which is our debate coach. I would love to continue watching the debaters debate to the bitter end. They tried with passion, that's alone has impressed me a lot.
When coming back from the debate, I bumped into with several friends, they asked me where did I go...I just said I went for an activity, but unwilling to reveal what activity was that. U know I dun look like a debater, telling u the truth would only invite shame, which I think so... haha.
I am extremely tired. Good night guys.
