Pursue

Time flies. It's exam soon and it's finals time. This semester has been a tough one... and a dangerous one too. I feel like falling off anytime soon. I must really have a more solid ground to stand on, which means I've to really catch up in the basics of all the subjects that I'm taking this sem, which is... 4 subjects and 12 lectures each in 3 weeks time. That's possibly the most shocking and the craziest thing in my life that I've ever done. Believe me. I've to go through somehow. No choice... I'm not financially ready to repeat any subjects.

What about AIESEC?
Finally, the LC is seeing results. 4 realizations in 2 months? Seem possible enough. It may not be something great compare to any LCs in Malaysia but it's a great achievement for TBS to start off with. Most of the hardwork done in the 1st half of the LC term are paid off in the form of a good performance result in exchange. However, the real test is emerging - A challenge to produce a system which is sustainable and measurable. An organization without a proper structure, financial and people system can be looked as a tree without a strong root - It tends to fall easily when being blown by the wind. First, it has to start from communication system. When there's a systematic communication which stretches down from the LCP to the VPs, and from the VPs to the executives and members, and vice versa, the communication flow will eventually be more effective. Besides that, it provides an opportunity for the VPs to be more innovative and creative in seeking for solutions for a variety of matters and problems. It also creates opportunity for the VPs to take charge of their own departments, to have power to make decisions on their own and at the same time, to let the members know that the VPs are who they can turn to if they need any help or guidance.

I can foresee that the first step in improving communication flow will lead to the next step which is to improve on functionality of department. How does it happen? When communication flow is good and the VPs have control on their own department, the departmental goals will be better focused and these will keep the departments functioning as they are supposed to, with contributions from all members from all level of responsiblity. I believe the LC can achieve more than what we're achieving now when all above mentioned are happening. What's more than having all systems functioning at the same time and the existence of a dynamism in the interrelating departments in the LC.

Whether we can make it happens, it's up to us!
