It’s long time ago that I haven’t expressed my full feeling on the blog on one event as I have been monthly deadly busy, but I rethink and believe that writing a good blog piece is worth to read for whole life memory. Thus, it pushes me to write it as I used to.
Reflecting back to national congress of AIESEC Cambodia held from 6th-9th Jan, 2010 at Pacific Hotel, a very cool 4-star hotel, I have gained amazing memory from it as life-long lesson.
The night before NC, I spent few hours ironing clothes, packing and putting necessary staff into my little small luggage. Of course laptop is important wherever I am staying. (promise of playing Dota is there as well LOL).
The early moning windy cooly 6am, alarming clock woke me up to rush prepare everything done to catch a renting bus parking at UP leaving from Phnom Penh at 7am. Putting into a nice brown shirt, I held a big bagpack, my mini luggage, and 2 jackets… Ay! I arrived the bus and leaving to SR with 20s people now. One bus of several AIESEC IFLers so exciting. We had fun and quietness on the bus. I worked as MC and OC somehow. it was a good experience for me as well.
The first day of NC was somehow tiring. We didn’t stop for a lunch due to lateness for NC start. Reaching SR is so exciting and especially I saw a logo of NC in front of Pacific hotel. It’s damn cool. Damn! Just stepping down on the ground, my god!!! So tired. OC starts to say “prepare for LC roll call!!!” shhh… my mind is exhausted and complex now; I couldn’t think of a right roll call at all. Last 5minutes pushed me to make some move. Hahaha…. It was nice at least. Oh my god! NC goes on and on until 6 nearly 7pm I guess that we stopped for dinner… the chair didn’t know that we didn’t have lunch. Everyone looks so exhausted and deadly pale. Luckily, no one fainted because of it. After dinner, Boat racing!!! Wow interesting! I’m not a drinker haha. Londy was so impressive that he drank so fast!! Faster than the chair who claimed for 2seconds for his glass of beer. Londy coming back from Italy after one year is amazing now!!!
Guess what? The 1st night of NC is the night of doing Business plan powerpoint hahaha. I, meyta, and dona staying downstair doing our parts until 4am while everyone was having room party. I’m bit jealous actually. Yet, I chatted with my loppy angel was a great night. She stayed late for her movie or what. I’m note sure :D whatever it is, it was our great time. Yay! I finished my big task now! 4am I drafted my BP part already. I’m proud of myself for fast worker now :D :D :D
My eyes was black of lacking sleep now. I woke up nearly 9am, I planned to skip session in the morning for finalizing BP now. After that it was another new experience of preparing MC question interview. Way of welcoming MCVP candidate was great. Everyone gave big applause to welcome and as if we all supported them. Reach had a very convincing speech, pisey somehow included a “starfish” lesson, Londy was so so. But that time, it seemed @pp occupied all fame; it was bad that @ifl has no one to apply at all. It was ashamed. I know all @ifl members feel bad on me and they wonder why I dropped my application. Well, I will tell you why at the bottom. 3 of them are friendly and got enough support to stand for next level. Unfortunately, Kolmen was voted to down. Maybe he was not famous and his little silly behavior makes everyone not trust on him. I feel sorry for him. He was a great guy and of course should be a part of MC level.
The craziest party started!! Hahaha. My god, everyone dressed really stupid hahaha… Chi painted her face as laughy way, nine hahahahha her hair hahaha, I cant help let myself jong sork te LMAO. Vannak no doubt acts stupidly gagaga.. it was really crazy night with many crazy people.. but for sure it was full of fun and joy. I can’t believe many people gone wild like this Lmao.
After party, we had LC room party !!! it was a very great time for whole people in LC to sit and sleep on joined 2beds in room 240. First we played dropping paper to do truth and dare. My god, Dana did many crazy things: tickling people for 15seconds, hugging each other and whirling around the bed, … we asked many hitting questions, Meyta asked me so hard hahaha… “how mch are you interested in…..?” “85%” :D it was just interest not yet sure into LOVE :G :G everyone seems to be sad (especially girls lol). Still most push me to do some actions NOW… I’m not good at it honestly. Hope to get her cooperation ^^
The 3rd day starts!!! Last night I got some calls from family to remind of checking house rent in Siem Reap, umm there was really no time at all. The morning the time for interviewing MC candidates: Pisey, Reach, Londy, Jack, Andrea… but I missed from Londy due to going for family’s task. We, interviewers all LCPs and MCP and one MC in-out had a really exhausting day. We finished interview at 4pm as I remember. ( I asked some tough question to Pisey and Reach; hope they not mind me).
The most ever I couldn’t believe myself starts. GALA dinner!!! The time for announcing award of LCs. I was very confident (nearly 100%) for the best LC award. Everyone put on a very nice dress (jacket for men and rope for ladies). It was a fantastic time accompanied with guitar from @LUCT (I wish I could play too _*). Dinner was little bad actually but flash of cameras were everywhere… I should have taken more with others LOL. … the moment of excitement came…. Announcement of award started…. The sexiest man and woman were Ream and Ka siblings from @LUCT. They were great. The best project impacting to society was… Ream… The best individual impacting to whole @cambodia was.. Panha LCP PP….. only last one …. The best LC award… everyone got shocked now…. My whole members sitting in same table were trembling I guessed. “don’t worry, trust me” I said. I was very very confident in it….
It was AIESEC IFL!!!! Wooo hoooo!!!! I felt greater than expected thought I know it must be us. I was asked to talk on speech… mmmm… I know what I want to talk already honestly… but I couldn’t help myself not to tear out for too great moment of time… I never tear for long time after the last time was when my grandma passed away (when I was grade 6 or 7 as I remember). Though I felt or passed any big events: scholarships, work, love failure, family problem (oh no I used to for this. It should be when I was year 1 then.) , others… I never tear out… it was too great not mean beyond my ability. I was just too happy to feel it. I cried ‘cause I was overjoy and proud of my whole members for their sharing success: meyta, yaya, nita, chak, OC, others…
Here is what I want to say “thank you everyone for support and reconizing us. (turning to my members) here it is. This moment of time is the time of realizing our everything of our effort. It reflects me lot back just several steps toward this stage. It reminds me what I promised when I was elected as LCP of @IFL. I promised to put all my effort to make our LC greater and greater and ever before. For sure is LC best award. And it is the truth nor a dream anymore. I would love to share this award to each and every of you for working so hard and walking altogether passing success and hardship all time for our several months to give many results. Here it is the best LC award!!!! “turn to audience” I also want to say thank you to everyone here and others in Phnom Penh for everything you have done and helped us. For sure, we’re all great people. We’re all successors so please give a big clap for ourselves and whole AIESEC Cambodia. I love AIESEC”
Another great thing in NC is that I have met most of my expectation.
1. Make influence to every level of people: top, middle, lower level to me. I make some influence LOL.
2. I did talk and make friends with international AIESECers (Japan and Brazil)
3. I did learn and talk with sponsors from Yamaha and Caminco
4. I build stronger bond of whole LC (it’s beyond expectation I guess)
Still it is. It is a really great time for whole 4 days that I have learnt lots of things to make me feel more mature and grown up more now. I feel so. It is really great memory for joining NC’11. I got around 20's sugar cube :D :D :D
It’s a very long essay here LOL 1540 words =)) thanks for reading till end ( I don’t think many read till end)
