Past, Present and Future

Past

Aiesec elections jst ended last weekend...i have to say that the elections were a very new experience for me...its not all d same kind of high school elections we all went through where by those were more like popularity contests....

Aiesec elections are separated into 2 parts...d 1st is the vote of confidence...which took d whole of saturday...basicly what happens is...in d morning,the candidates for the president post also known as lcp will gv their 15 minutes speeches...then they all sit in front n 1 hour is given to the floor to ask them questions...then all members who have voting rights will take the ballot and confidence each candidate separately...that is to say...for each candidate, each voter must either cross that they have confidence in d candidate or no confidence...they do not choose the leader...merely state if they have confidence in him/her doing the task...once that is done...the same process is repeated in d afternoon with the candidate for the executive board also known as EB giving their 10 minutes speeches...the rest is the same...

the second part...after all that is done...at nite...the lcp candidates who passed the vote of confidence will go through an interview session with the current lcp and eb..n they will decide who the new lcp is...n the next day all the eb candidates will go for the same interview...

i was one of the candidates for the eb post...n it was a great experience...after the first day all the eb candidates came to my place n we chilled...celebrated passing the vote of confidence..n prepared for our interviews the next day...i actually JUST passed the vote of confidence...needed 19/28 votes to pass n i got exactly 19...so looks like if i pass d interview i've got a lot to prove...d interview was ok...n we shall noe the results by the end of this week...


Present

the new linkin park single "what i've done" jst came out yesterday...n i admit i downloaded it...only because u cant buy singles in malaysia...cz if i cud i wud have...n suffice to say...the 4 year wait for this new album was definitely worth it...every album the band comes out with is so different in style n type of music n content if compared to their previous works...but at d same time u can hear that it is distinctly linkin park...i cant wait for the new album "minutes to midnight" to be launched nxt month...n i'll be goin to klcc tmr to c chester bennington as he'll be here to promote the album n start the pre-sales...m very excited...:D
