Local Committee Planning Meet 2006
AIESEC in TBS Local Committee Planning Meet 2006
I'm glad to say, LCPM was a real success as the objectives and goals I have towards this meet have all been met. Surprisingly, all of the members worked really well in planning without long briefings and speeches on how and what to plan; and I'm really happy that they were really determined enough to drive the LC up to the full status, which I really want to see of the passion in them towards AIESEC in TBS. In the end of the day, we really had a hell of great fun there at the City of Entertainment. And most importantly, we miss the time we spent together there and hopefully, the coming LLDS will be much better and fun. I'm sure it will...
A Problem That Has To Be Solved
It seems that I'm still stuck with the problem of the commitment of members in the Local Committee of AIESEC in TBS, an usual setback for every term's board, after a series of motivation meets, conferences and speech. However, dealing with this, I've no other choice but to be bold in my decision - replacing the EBs with a new group of people who have just been recruited.
Something has to be done and I've finally come to this drastic step as I've enough of excuses after excuses for failing to turn up for weekly meets and planning meets. I don't mind the level of experience of the newbies because I believe - It's better to train someone who's willing to work than someone who lacks the drive to work. Save the motivating job for the newbies. Save my time too as the LC is really running out of time to prove ourselves that we're on the right track for Full Status LC.
A funny news here that I've got for myself is, Local Committee Planning Meet (LCPM) is a meet where all the EBs will set expectations among and towards the LC and plan for the year's events and projects but the fact is, the response I've got from the LC regarding the planning meet that confirmed their attendance are mostly non-EBs. A case of shock which reaffirmed my decision to replace some members of the EB.
My concern is still the Exchange part. We're still stuck with no-realizations after two terms and this is the final term to prove that we're capable to do exchanges. I'm sorry to say this, but I don't think my Exchange team is doing a good job, especially on the ICX side. Credits are given to the OGX as the VP is still fresh and new but at least she's shown the will to work together towards a common goal this year and I'm more than willing to guide her towards our first OGX realization. However, to ensure that my ICX is moving, the newbies will be taught and trained of the process of the flow in ICX in this Saturday's planning meet. I've no choice but to save time and do two things at the same time - Training and planning.
Till then, I hope that the planning meet will turn out to be a productive one. All the best for the members who'll miss out on a great opportunity to learn and walk with us in AIESEC.

Welcome 2006!
Happy New Year 2006!
It has been a while since i last blogged. Now I'm back with a different blogging station. However, things have changed rapidly since. New year, new resolution, new vision in life too. The concern of making through this tough year of 2006 is like a loud music, playing over and over in my mind, reminding me all the time that I've tonnes of reponsibilities and tasks to be carried out over the year. Success and failure means a lot here although there maybe comments that we've to "dare to fail" but seriously, I don't have any rooms for error here for the year. I don't have time to fail and re-climb again - full with challenges but I'm sure it helps a lot in adding up some valuable experiences in life.
At least, it's good to think that I'll not be bored this year. ;)
