When 99% is never enough....

Hi people I'm back from ONE MONTH hiatus.

I'm so so sorry guys. I know I kept you all waiting for my latest story. But last month, things happened too fast till I don't have enough time to write it all. Whenever I wanted to write about something, another thing happened that omitted the first story.

To keep things simple, last 4 weeks was AIESEC election. And its pretty obvious I ran for election. Running for elections was never easy in the first place, what more if it's AIESEC's election? If an elections last 4 weeks, its got to be a hell of a ride....

Week one....
This was the week right after MyLDS. I've determine myself that I will run for an executive board position right after the last day. I was looking forward to the application package in my mail box. But soon after that, I knew I wanted to run for the elections all for the wrong reasons. I kinda use it as a chance to prove myself to others and to acquirre experience. Soon after that, I asked myself a question, am I doing this to satisfy myself or the good of my beloved LC?

And yea, I abandon my applications for a while. I need to find a real reason why am I doing this. 3 days later, I found an answer, I'm should be doing this to add value to the LC! I can't be selfish, leaders must be a giver and never put taking as a main priority. So, thatz my ultimatum. I understood why I lost in the Mock MCP elections. I stood back up and regenerated a brand new me. * so now you know the main motivation of Wilson V2's build up*

Week two...
I've decided to go for the highest position, which is the Local Committee president. Sometimes, even now, I still think why I ran for such high position. Its like a junior MP running straight to the Prime Minister's position. Its quite a bold decision to make la.. It took A LOT OF COURAGE. A little less and you will fall. My dad don't understand why I took such risk knowing the percentage of winning it is pretty low ( at least for now as I'm new).
He told me that
"Son, I know its good to aim high but this time, I have to disagree with you, its a little too high for your current standard"

Yeah!! I'm aware of that la... I'm not blind. Probably I'm the youngest in terms of AIESEC age to run for LCP in AIESEC Malaysia's history. Guys in the upper level must be wondering what this chap can do or wonder is this chap out of his mind...haha... But my ultimate aim is to see how far I can really go with my two hands.

Week 3,
This is AIESEC Malaysia Member Committee Election week. This event is what we "suppose" to aim for in years to come... Its like Pilihan Raya Umno Peringkat Tinggi. Seriously, it was intense, and I gain a lot of insights from it. Me being a noob in official elections eventually became a pro in writing election speeches after that event. Although I did learn a few tricks from Evon and her dad suring the last General Elections tour with DAP, things are put into practise in evens like this.

After the elections, I met up with Kean Siong. Apparently, he is my Sifu from the Member Committee. He was glad to see me running for elections, especially for the postition of LCP. He did told me this thing which i find it amusing at times la, but it shows how much faith he has in me...

"You know Wilson, my first impression of you during MyLDS is you will be someone great and big in AIESEC. Therefore, running for LCP suits your magnitude "

I hope he didn't mean my size..haha... but seriously It meant a lot to me, especially from me doubting my move. I am finally, ready to go on greather heights.

Week 4,
Election Week. Gosh, Thank god this week, my lecture wasn't pack(8 hours postponed). I had a hard time doing the proper slide for my presentation. I did the fist slide, It was very "political", hence I took it away.. I did the second slide, it was very "emotional", I took it down. My third slide was pretty "professional", now thatz what I'm talking about.
During the EGM, I manage to deliver my speech in a very different manner. Its very Wai Soon la, if you know what I mean... Full of power and no stopping... Just like the good old days. After that speech, I knew if I can't pass the vote of confidence, I really dont know where ot improve on because its I've put in my 110%, Till a certain extend, my performance wasn't the usual Wai Soon.

In the end, I manage to pass the VOC with 85.7% level of confidence. Evelyn and Muslih manage to pass to with 78.5% and 71.4% each. We all needed 66% to go to the final selection round la.
In the after the selection, Evelyn became the LCP Elect due to her performance in the final interview, and i'm actually very proud of her. Only knowing her closely for two month, I knew she will be the best person to lead the LC to greather heights.

Week 5
Gosh, it was this week is the last week fo the process. I admit I didnt do well in the LCP interview but I did fare a fairly good job in the LCVP's interview. But things got harder when the position i'm vying for have a total of 4 candidates. So fingers cross and hopefully by tmr, I'll be on board the most dynamic team in USM...

So guys, that pretty what I've done so far... sorry for the hiatus.... I dont think it will happen again though..haha...

take care people...
