One of the goals in my life is to study MBA in London School of Economics. But recently, I have another choice.
I met a Russian, a guy from Venezuela , A girl from turkey. in the IE business school session.
The trend of business that they discussed , brings my attention.
This is the era , of age polarization, technology innovation , and also personal contribution.
IE is about diversity, entrepreneurial and innovation.
So..... This connects me with IE.

The 4 hour workweek
Reading... is one of my hobbies.
I am recently reading this book, the 4 hour workweek, which brings me some reflection
People are not only pursuing happiness, but also excitement.
People tends to reward personal sacifice, but not personal productivity.
People should have the freedom to do whatever they like.
So what do you think about that ?

Art, Shi& I
People always tell me that , left hander is good in art. But for me , I am not. I am just a normal person , who have interest in management area.
Not really have so much passion towards art. Till, this day. I received a call from Houston , saying that Amars recommend me to work as a assitant for a manager. I am suddenly stunt. Assitant????
I am not interested at all, is just sound like a boring job for me. But by the way , I am not thinking so soon of getting back to Malaysia at the moment. I would like to continue with my dream, be a really global marketer, hmm....so I decided to give a try to meet this manager.
" Hello , my name is Li Shi , I had studied in Malaysia too. Nice to meet you ."
" Hi, I am Sze Yan , a Malaysian chinese....
And the conversation goes on , I am glad to meet her , as she is not bossy , she is nice , she is talkative, have a wide horizon, studied contemporary art in Japan end UK , always visit a lot of galleries and also museums in Europe , and the lists goes on. This girl who are just older than me 4 years, had so much achievement in diffrent area. wow.... At that moment , I just feel like I really like her.
But , I did not work her after that lunch. I cant believed , how amazing it is , after one month , we are together ... in a team , for D4 project . And my role , is more than an assitant, is a collaborator, for this mega project. Shi always provides me a lot of space, for me to really work out what is the best for me.
For me , she is an art. For me , my job is an art. For me , my working environment, my life , become more artistic.
I am still on my way to learn how to appreciate art.By the way , thank God for providing me a good sister, Shi, an environment provides me space, an art + management project which bring me excitement.

Darling is so brave , for letting the fish to keep on bite the dead skin. But me... i am like putting my leg for the sake of for the fish to swim around me.

They expose me a lot about the LC reality in China and also the China culture.

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.

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) .

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.
