My Kenangan Terindah before i say Bye Bye :(
After a teary farewell at my last AIESEC Malaysia event in National Pioneers Camp,
i set off all alone in my beautiful MyVi back from Penang to KL.
It was a long 5 hours drive where i got a lot of time to to reflect on my life so far....
how much it has changed...
how much i have grown...
how many new friends i have gained...
how many new things i have learnt...
how many events i have experienced....
how many things i have done, that i never thought i will be able to....
how many places i have visited....
who i have become after this past 6 years....
I couldnt believe after 6 years of being part of a family i by accident was part of, it was time for me to say goodbye and leave. I knew that it wouldnt be that bad since, its not like i was leaving AIESEC forever, and that i would still be part of AIESEC in the coming year...
but still... seeing pictures of my seniors and team mates of the 5 teams that i was part of, the new guys and girls from the LC's in action in National Pioneers camp, seei
ng the LCP elects that i had worked with during the previous term and to see my MCs.... i felt that i was leaving a big part of what had build me this past few years.... and it was definitely the people of AIESEC in Malaysia- each and every one of them who helped shape me to who i am today- they were everything to me, my mentors, my gossip buddies, my friends, my family, the people who guided me, inspired me, shared ups and downs, challenged me, cried and laughed together, travelled with me,drove with me, took care of me, made me feel happy and proud...always!
They were in short, my "KENANGAN TERINDAH" in life....
It was the longest 5 hours
drive from Penang to KL. I listened to all my "road trip compilations" songs that we( MC 06/07) had compiled every time we would travel for an LC visit. ( we had about 7 CDs altogether). Every time a song played i would just start to cry because every song in those CDs had a special memory for me and my team and the thought of never being able to do this together with them again was just too much for me to handle that night...
The thought of not able to see my LCPs and members after this was something that i was not able to handle well that night....
The thought that i will not be able to attend NatCon 2007 with my old team mates and to see my new MCs and LCPs in action was something i felt so helpless about, that night....
And so as the songs played in the background....and memories played in my mind...i cried and cried for about 5 hours that night.
The next day i had to start with my packing and went to my office to pick up some of the remaining stuff i had in my office, and of course i was going to my office for the last time, LAST TIME! The office that has been my home for many days in the past 3 years... as i walked out of the office i took one good look around my office with flashes of memories and stories passing through my mind as i scanned every corner and table of that office.. and as i was walking out i saw the 10 interns who were working on the HIV/AIDS PBOX sitting on our meeting table. I remember them wishing me and bidding me a great farewell.... but i just couldnt take it at that point time, i knew that if i stayed any longer i would start to cry in front of them... so after a hurried exchanges of "byes"... i left my keys on Chee Keks table and left quickly.... and as i dashed down the stairs of my office,i felt my tears roll down my cheeks again....
That night i had a great farewell dinner with my MC Teammates of 2004/2005 which was attended by everyone ( except Bonnie). It was also HuiLins birthday and i was extremely glad cuz she was back too. It was a great dinner with a perfect ending to my night in Malaysia. I owe a lot to the people from this team, because without them, i wouldnt have reached to where i am today. Thank you Tong Chien, Huilin, Bonnie, Thomas, Eric, Alicia and Wei Han for giving me this chance:)
And that was it- my last night before i left .... i had still not seen many of my close friends but anyways, i took some time to think about all the people in my life that have been my Kenangan Terindah till today.
