Bejing welcomes you !!!

I am in Beijing now, the life is really fun and nice.
How fun is it?
a.People here are friendly. It makes me feel warm.First day when I reach Hangzhou, Charlie and Mungyu who are from LC in Hangzhou pick me up. They expose me a lot about the LC reality in China and also the China culture. I met many people during my journey to Beijing.Toshiba Manager, people like Tian Tian from Zhe Jiang, Hai Zhe from Hangzhou,and his gf Qin Yan from Shanghai. They are really nice to me.And I had wait for like few hours in KFC at Hangzhou railway station for my train, I just spoke to random people for random issues. They are kind of surpise that a girl who is brave to come to China for her AIESEC journey.

b. My MC apartment is cool. We have a penthouse as our place to stay. You can get washing machine, filter, TV,and everything. But the toilet is a bit problem for me, no worries , that can be cleaned.

c. My teammates are cool people. so far , I met Houston, Alex Fat and his gf, Joachim, Mino, Steph, and Mitesh. Houston had receipt me from the train station, he is kinda of cute with his welcome notes. Alex Fat is just random as Houston, but he is smart and kinda of funny. Joachim is a guy who share the similar culture background as me , as he is a Singaporean.He is also a christian. Mino is so homiez person, both of us enjoy to stay in the appartment, and she helps me a lot in cooking. Step invited me to party, I met some Hongkies, Trainees ( now working permanent in Beijing) . We had a fun time. And Mitesh looks so young, He will be my another teacher to teach me how to cook.

Next Mon , will be my official working day. I am excited about that. To everyone in Malaysia, I am pretty well in China. Here is really cool. please visit me if you are gonna to come here. Hugs for everyone. ;)

My update!!!

Wow, getting excited . Wed , is my day to leave to Beijing. First , Houston edi asked LC Hangzhou to pick me up from the air port. Perhaps , my team mate little Nemo, who call herself Fish , will be there to welcome me. I have to take 12hours train from Hangzhou to reach Beijing. Kinda of worry whether Houston can stay awake to pick me up in the early of morning on Labour day.

Labour Day is holiday for China. Hehe , perhaps I only start to work on Fri. *sweat*, but now I have to start my work, from transition to planning. Kinda a lot of work to do ,but i guess i will like it. China is the number country now in AIESEC , for my coming team , our vision is to from good to great. I guess this vision is copied from Jim Collins's book.

For coming term for AIESEC China, I will be doing Talent Management which commonly will be known as Human Resources or People Development.Now , I am still at the stage of picking up information from the AIESEC International regarding model of development and competency usage in the country. Besides that , I have been reading a lot information regarding human capital like GE Way , Toyota Way , Peter Drucker's principle on Management and Leadership. I had bought a book called First, Break All The Rules by Marcus Buckingham & Curt Coffman. Is in the series of 800 CEO read.com. The sharing will be done later with you guys, after I complete it.

This week , I have been farewell with my course mates, who are Mai Keh Keh, Yee Zheng, Yi ying, Jea Chyn , Zi Yuan. Besides that , steamboat treat from my lovely boss, Samuel , together with his sweet gf, Ming Boon , and my fellow colleagues, Slyvia, Christine and the rest. Besides that , I went for the farewell with my brothers and sisters in Kim Gary, and we went to watch the movie of Forbidden Kingdom. Movie Review please refer to my multiply blog , which is http://syanz3.multiply.com. Actually , I have one more blog there , that will be much about my walk with God and also on some reviews and events update. Feel free to visit that blog , if you have time. LOL!!! And I also went out with Eve, Mag and May. Desmond also join us during mamak session. I am gonna miss everyone of u !!

Hmm , kinda of having complicated feeling for my uni life. This three years, I have learning a lot not only from my course , but also from my friends, from my brothers , sisters in Christ, AIESEC and MagiSc.I might be always busy but actually I do want to have more time with the people around me. 25 of April is my last paper , which will decide my final end with Univerisiti Sains Malaysia. ( I got my thesis on Knowledge Sharing Intentions, if you want to read it , I can send to you.)although , I cant say that I wont be studying anymore , coz I really have interest in Management field,which I am thinking of getting Master in International Business and also PHD.
But at this moment, I really appreciate God had given so much blessing on me , to complete my degree , and guide my through out the way.

I will kinda of connect my AIESEC XP,wtih my learning in degree to what my dream job , perhaps more on Branding , Marketing , Public Relations. perhaps also on training. Perhaps I want to initiate a consulting , PR firm and providing training which will help people to develop themselves in the future. But kinda of blur for the concept,maybe working in PWC or some consulting firm to gain more experience then only start to have this ownership of company.

hmm , Another story to share, After I reach home , I have been sleeping for more than 12 hours. I sleep peacefully because is my bed , and no one disturb me. And I am with my family, kinda of like peaceful feel and happy family feel. I hope my three years time of AIESEC XP will end with more learning. And I am going to start my own unit of family with my own kids , own hubby , own house, a lot of ownership.

Sense of ownership and enterpreneur spirit is kinda of important today , not only in household , but also in organization. I hope that my international MC experience can train me in this two areas so that , I can enhance my learning experience.

On 24th of April , I also received phone call from Houston regarding attending International Trainers Congress in Ukraine. My first response was, what , In Middle East. After my darling helped me to check , only realise is a country nearby Russia and Poland. Due with the VISA issue and also financally unstable ( I spent most of my money in Asia Pacific Expro and Leadership Development Seminar in Tokyo , Japan), ITC is just halfly subsidised which i definitely do not have much to cover the cost of the rest. I guess this coming year , I cant really travel for any conferences. But hoping I can get into Talent Management Unit which is the TM team from AIESEC International , then I can contribute in the learning for the members globally ,perhaps I can visit to AI office in Rotterdam , Netherlands.And most of the cost will be covered.

Coming in this end of the May, I will be attending Asia Pacific Member Committee Transition Camp In Guang Zhou.I need to travel around 24 hours by train to reach there. Wow... I never been travel using mode of transport for so long.Will update you guys after I had spent most of my time in the train by sleeping.

I miss those days.

I miss those days. Days with my friends, with mag , eve and may hang out in Glo , Chill Out. Miss those days went out with Joyce for movie. Miss those days that I work for Christmas and New Year eve. Miss those days where I laugh and smile with all my friends. Miss those days sleep with Ching on the same bed. Miss those days when I hang out to Kek Lok Si, to Bukit Mertajam , with Yee Zheng , Yi Yng , Chu Kwang , and Jea Chyn .

I miss a lot of those days. I thank God for I grab those days , and I appreciate every single day.

I will still appreciate every single day. Days when I just came to uni , I dont find my days meaningful. Now, I have something ,something which i call my dream , my passion, which I want to pursue in my life.

I miss those days with my darling , that we hang out in night market , staying in Cititel , for KL trip , hang out to Redang, went to Cameron, watching movies, having each other. hugging and kisses.I really want the story to keep going , till the day where people say Forever Love is there,

I miss those days with my family , tuition in aunt's house. Aerobic classes with Aunt Ee. went to market with my mum,watching TV with my family members.

I miss a lot of those days.

A new chapter is going to begin , but it does not mean the story ends here. I really hope that my Father's strength will support me in my new chapter.

Greetings from Japan !!

Dear all ,

I have seriously limited access to internet. This is because in Japan , we need to pay money for that !!! I had arrived Tokyo safely J , please forgive me if I did not reply your message , pick up your call,, ( is expensive to call or reply msg, and Japan only accept 3G phone, luckily I have it with me ) or reply your email , because every 10 mins I online , I need to pay 100 yen.

Everything is cool here. I met many different countries people , which makes me feel the world is not as big as we imagine. As an ASEAN, we share a lot of similarities in many ways. And I am really proud to be the country representative to share the ideas and seek for collaboration in this AP region, so that when these ideas turn into reality, so that we can create a positive impact in the society.

Miss you guys much.

Cheers,
Sze Yan

Leadership Starts Within Yourself and Motivation is the kick start.

Leadership is not something that new for everyone.But , the courage to take up as a leader is not as easy as what other people think.

Election are everywhere , country electionn , MC election , LC election , US election , but how many of us think of those people who took up the courage to apply to be a leader?We are there to criticise without thinking how much contribution that have been given by us?We are there to say everything that we want but without consider the feeling of the candidates.

For me , I never think of want to be a great leader, Perhaps is just like the text book definition , leader is someone that lead a group a people to achieve a goal.Wau , is easy , just lead a group of people , maybe just 5 or 6 of them , then to achieve a simple goal , thats finish your task.
but , until i apply to be the leading member is AIESEC Malaysia, I know that is always about responsibility , commitment and motivation.

I got enough motivation test in this semester, my VISA application got problem , my aiesec first election is a failure, my thesis is under critical stage , my study does not turn up as good as I think , my industrial training is still pending , my relationship with God is further, i am having communication problem with my friends, or even I am having problem with my family member, and my beloved one.

Every time when I thought i will be struck down by all these, but I didnt. Every time I thought I will just jump from a building to end up all my stress, but I dint. I want to be look good, i want to be looked tough , but actually deep inside , i am not. I mourn before i sleep.

is a voice inside my heart that keeps me moving. Is it God is leading me , or is it "someone" which can be a leader of myself is leading me ? I have no idea on how is it , I just know i want to keep on moving. I dont want to give up until that day which does not really to allow me to do so.

Life is like a roller coaster, is always up and down. Life is like a rhythm,where by if you like this song , you want to continue to listen again and again, By the end of the day , I am looking forward my eternal life with my Father, and I know he walks with me with my every single step.

原点

这不代表现在.

面对你我觉得好累.
一时风平浪静,一时狂风暴雨.
好讨厌这样的你.

无意知到你生气的原因,
我好失望.

你说如果不能接受这样的你,我可以离开.
我想说,让我解脱吧.

对不起,我爱我自己多于你.
好不想让自己受委屈.
好不想让泪水往肚子里留.
我累了.
不想被你的情绪困着.
再也不想掩饰自己.

我没有你想得那么坚强.
我也会不堪一击.
就让我这一个母之的女人,变得更加地无知.
我再也不想假装,装得我好好受.
但其实,我不.

谢谢你让我有过美好的回忆.
你依然是我的好友.

你要的他,我还你.
我从没想过拥有他.
我觉得他, 不属于任和人.
可是, 如果因为我,你觉得不开心,我愿意把这分安全感还你

就让我们大家回去原点吧.
