What a welcome.... i feel right at home...

Hey everyone,

well i have finally arrived in Indonesia and so far the experience has been fastastic, and thats because of the people.

Well at the airport after finishing all immigration work, i was so worried about meeting or seeing someone one i know. i was worried about, what if there was no one there to pick me up... but now when i think about that fear i realise how stupid i have been... there was no point of getting worried at all.... thats coz i had the best reception ever...

When i came out, Yohanes (LCP US) was there with a expectant look on his face and he said me "are u aparajita??" i think at that time that was the most amazing question for me... there was someone here to pick me up... yeahhhhhh!!!!!! but that was not the end.... then Yoyo told me that AIdy and Gita (LC VP US) was here as well.... i quickly ran and hugged them... i think both Aidy and i was just releived that i am FINALLY here....

From then on Yoyo and Gita countinued to talk to me and making me right feel right at home... i mean i didnt even realise after a while that this was my first day in Indonesia... and that credit goes completely to AIDY, YOYO and GITA... Thanks a lot guys... will never forget this experience and will treasure it forever... thanksssssss....

But that was not the end of it... Aidy kept on getting calls.. and they were all for me... everyone was calling me and welcoming me to this great place... what can i say... i felt important... hehehehe....

then we went to LC UI and said a brief hello to the new recruits and wished them all the best... what can i say... i saw some great people and the way they were responding it reminded me of my first day... i wish that they, along with them and the others who will walk into this organisation very soon will have a great AIESEC career and they get to treasure some amazing memories, just like me...i am just looking forward to meeting them soon as their coach and working with them even more....

This ofcourse continued till very late in the night.... we were in a huge discussion and just talking about lots of things with Aidy, Yoyo and Gita... it was fun... i mean i did something like this after a very long time...

Then in the morning i got to see Gita (alumni Cor)... all of us were happy to see her since she got yummy food with her... hehehe...

well thats the update from my side... if u ar reading this right now and u have read the whole thing then that means u havent fallen asleep... :)

hope to see a lot of people very soon....
cheers

HI AIESEC!

Nice to know when I woke up this morning that today is 1st July 2007, when everything should be started. The morning has already became night and started to prepare for 2nd July 2007. Time was came and by so fast without we realize it and 365 days from now, we will in the finish line and we will see back many things left behind as legacies. It will be the beginning and it will be the end, it really depend on us see it. I believe beginning nor ending won't pass without meaning, it remains in our heart positively and negatively, once again it really depend on us see it.

From the day I moved to MC flat, I stick one quote in toilet door and you will see it every time you are in the toilet (just come here to MC flat if you are not believe it), the door said "Positive thinkers get positive results because they are not afraid of problems".
We will face many challenges in front of us, one thing that we should realize we must enjoy it, mean it then it will become something very valuable in life. Once again thank you for all 0607 to leave all legacy and congratulation 0708 to just start the new term!

Enjoy,


Aidy

MC Planning

MC planning just over. I came to jakarta at 31st June 2007. It was raining and Jakarta had bad traffic. I just arrived at 7pm in MC office then I go to cyber cafe to have LCP meeting. waaa... BIG DEAL so tired after driving 5 hours then jump to face the screen for 3 hours. I was sleep in MC flat with David, Edja, Dina, Irma and Damy. We have movie night but Dina just went off because she was very sleepy I guess. Then the next day we all the elect go to my first dorm house in Fatmawati (Ewa's X room) for MC planning. So great experience to start MC planning in new place. The place so nice but a bit narrow. We are trying the best to still concentrating for the planning. I really glad all MC VPs and MC managers are there for planning except Rama (non-corp manager) because he should go to outside town with her mom. Aparajita in India was also involve virtually. I'm very glad that she join actively and efficiently in the session. DAY 1 ended and everybody looked so tired.

DAY 2 was challenging day because all planning was happened in 2nd day. What we experienced before in LC planning for whole month just happened here in one day. I believe I put much pressure on all team members feelings. But We are glad in the end we can finish it at 2.30 am.
DAY 3 we were starting with woke up late because nobody woke up in that small room. In the third day everything in that room looked messy, even we were cleaning it from bathroom until kitchen we were trying to keep them clean but it's so hard. In the 3rd day we had SG meeting but unluckily we should canceled it because none of SG could come. Then we switch the plan to have meeting with Bram about the national project possibility at pasta restaurant.
Hohoho this is the best part.. we had party KARAOKE GUYS!!! Rockz! We shouted danced and JUMPED like mad cows after staying in a small room for three days and two nights... hahah.. Rama voice was great hehhe.. and also David Ninda are great couple to create good MOVES... hhahah.. NICE TO SPEND TIME with YOU all.

Apa Kabar Indonesia

Hey Guys,

This is long over due, i appologies for the delay.

I have so much to tell you guys.. since so much has happened since getting on to the MC :)
Well after the selection i started getting to know few incredible individuals, who i will have the priviledge to work with for 1 year. This was mainly through online weekly meetings, which we all ensured took place even though there were techinical problems mainly from my side. Over here in Bangalore there are frequent power cuts, so it will be like i am at the meeting suddenly i wont be there... it was quite crazy... but definately fun never the less.

I think the most exciting time for me was general transition. I not only got to know the MC elect but also the MC current.. we had so much fun... even though there were problems like sometimes the microphone wont work, somethings the web cam wont, sometimes i ll ask for 2 sec breaks.. its was crazy. But what i really think is important in all this is that everyone, the MC current and Elect took so much effort in ensuring i was part of the transition, that i could listen and contribute at the same time. For me it was really effective since it helped me to understand the current situation also i got a lot of feedback on what to do for next year... so over all general transition was FANTASTIC!!!!

Well guys apart from all this fun stuff happening... i am right now caught up with preparing for my exams, which are at the end of this month and preparing for the Visa as well.. i have to thank you, Edja, about it, i mean u have been so helpful with it... i just hope our efforts pays off and i quickly get the visa...

Well guys thats it for now... i know i have written so much.. cant really help it once i start i cant seem stop :(

Well see you all very soon.
Cheers

Great welcoming and weather in Malang!

HI AIESEC!!! It's great for the first time I arrived in Malang in 5 am in the morning after 10 hours at my trip from Semarang! It's a long long trip with not really good car. I arrived in Deasy house. Thank you for Deasy and her beloved mom. Her mom was very nice to me, she prepare the breakfast, the lunch for me and I just came in the middle of mid test week. Ohh.. what I can do, I just have little time here and try to make it as effective as I can. Do the reasearch (enviromental scanning), LC EBs interviews and brainstorm with the LCP elect Rama Kristian. He is a nice guy! Truly Deeply.
Also the Geraldi who always picked me up from Deasy house. I really glad that EB ask me to have fun in Matos (Malang Town Square, it's a nice mal and big) I really enjoy the weather, it's so chilly and not so many people with really clean street.
Congratulation also for LC university of Diponegoro to win the cleaness competition among Student organization in Economic faculty. Great JOB!
Thank's for Guran, Gerald, Deasy, and Rama who chat with me until 4 am in the morning until I was picked up by travel to continue my LC visit to Surabaya...

Meeting with Alumni for ALUMNI GATHERING

Last Saturday we have a meeting with AIESEC Alumni regarding the AIESEC Alumni Gathering. The meeting was held in Izzi Pizza Mahakam, Jakarta, at 12.30 PM. The alumni who attended the meeting are Mrs. Nina Sapti (alumni from UI and was the National Secretary for the 1st National Committee President in Indonesia), Benny (alumni US), Windrio (alumni UI), Amel (alumni UB), Mia (alumni UB), Rini (alumni UP), and Mbak Ann (alumni UI). The AIESEC member representatives who attended this meetings are Leon (National Alumni Coordinator), Edja (UI), The National Alumni Gathering OCs (Radit, Nissa, Bidi, Dian Endah), Obek (UI), and Damy (who finally came!).
The purpose of the meeting are to generate input from alumni about the Alumni Gathering, also to gain their support in the Alumni Gathering event. The input given by the alumni was great and really helpful for us, especially input from Mrs. Nina Sapti and Mas Benny and Amel (who happenned to be the in the Alumni Initiative Team for Alumni Gathering in the 2006).
The plus point of this meeting is we got an overview, or a little bit of story-telling, about AIESEC in Indonesia History in from Mrs. Nina Sapti.
We will held the next meeting with alumni next week on Saturday also. Hopefully from this meeting, the OC could gain success in running this event!

Everyday, Starts Today!
