Law Of Karma: May 2009

Time really flies! I don't know where the days go theseto... cuz as Monday comes and you are yearning for a glimps of Friday. Before you know, Friday is knocking your door again! Time! HOLD ON!!!! :)

Anyway, it's been 9 months since I've left The Netherlands. Many things changed when I left Rotterdam... I stopped drinking alcohol, lost 23 kg's, started working for one of the Big 4's here in Malaysia.. and most of all, what has changed is that

I stopped hanging out on the rooftop of Hofdijk with the gentlemens club - Tamer, JC, Rishabh and Emanuel.
- I dont have guilty lunch trips to Mc-donalds with Shirley,Betty and Mindy.
- I dont drag bags filled with our stuff to recycle with Bee.- I dont watch movies and talk about the world with Aman.

- or go to the gym with Gabiza.

- I am not able to remind Ivan and Rob that AP is number 1 EVERYDAY! :)
- nor can I make fun of Juan and be tickled by Araz's HUGE laughter.- Stopped hearing updates from Michelle about what she did it Pilattes class and why she couldnt come for our Monday team dinners... hehehehe

- I dont hear the

frustration in Martha's voice whe

n a member calls the AI office to ask why

I cant access myAIESEC.net.
- or listen to Abhisheks conversations with TCS from the server room!!!
- I dont hear anyone else introduce themself as " THIS IS Ahmet..."
- I cant walk over to KP's place and pretend that I live there... :)

- I can't wake Laura up EARLY on Sundays and plant myself on her king sized

bed!
- Or cook Mon

day dinners with Monica while talking about our future..
- and no

more Saturday morning visits to the market to buy my fresh vegetables, strawberries, tempeh, tofu and tom yam noodles with laura and Betty!!!
- No trips to SUMO with my team and have great Japanese Buffett for 20 EURO's..

- no more being Big mama and checking

on the cleaning teams :)

- No curled up people in my office playing with other peoples hairs like Araz, Bee and the rest... hehe.

- No singing our

version of Enchanted songs or lines from Kung Fu panda with Shirley

- No cooking indian dishes with Bee and cleaning the strange dutch toilet

s... hehehe

- No big JC like voice talking about SOGA and i

nternal audit stuff

with people from across the globe.

- Never seen another pink tandoori chicken dish like Abhisheks :)

- or random fire drills by "fireman Rishabh" ...

- no power of now conversations or "how do you feel" questions from Emanuel...

- no morning trips to the bakery with Mindy to buy our share of Milk and sandwhich or to the chinese restaurant

across the street to pack our lunch..

- Cant see my favourite Egyption friend, Tamer who just knows how to make me feel better by saying the right stuff at the right time :)

- no more invention of new words from Gabi....za :P

- most of all... no non Malaysians trying to use LAH's in their sentences while speaking to their

friends and parents :):):)

Many things have changed from 9 months ago...

and so as a tribute to my experience and my family members while I was

there in The netherlands - I would like to dedicate

this posting to my peeps .. the coolest 22 people I have ever met... :)
AIESEC International 2007-2008

22 individuals from 18 different countries - now that's what I call

INTERNATIONAL! :)
My AI term was really special becau

se it was the first time I was staying out of Malaysia for

such a long time and it was my first REAL international experience and to top that, I was on AIESEC International :):) - need I say more! hehehee
