The Battle for TOMORROW - 2008


Like what most Senior AIESECers in TUC do, they went missing after stepping down from the Executive Board. However, I am an exception for that.

Back in the year 2007, when my term as a Vice President of Human Resource almost ended, I was in a deep thought whether or not I should continue my term in 2008. I looked back on what I had contributed to AIESEC in TUC during my term and was not satisfied. I wanted to do more. However, in AIESEC, it does not mean that you can contribute ONLY if you are in the Board. You are able to contribute back to your LC even if you are merely a member! The best thing is AIESEC gives more opportunities to members than those in the Board. Therefore, it was then I decided to step down to be known as a de facto Director as well as senior AIESECer.

As a senior AIESECer, I can see a lot of opportunities waiting for me to grab. Opportunities will not come to you if you are not taking the initiative to look for them. This year, like any other Local Committees in Malaysia, AIESEC TUC is taking up its very first initiative. We will be running ‘Tomorrow’, a Project Based on Exchange. I took up the courage to take up Organising Committee President position.

Obviously, there will be tons of obstacles waiting for me, since it is LC TUC’s first battle, but I am not afraid as I am not alone. A team of 9 soldiers, CP9 (it is just a name), are joining this battle along with me and back in our headquarter, we have our strong Colonel Tan Sook Theng along with her 10 loyal Lieutenants to support us.

Therefore, hereby, it is my honor to introduce my soldiers to all of you:

1. Corporal Vincent Xu
Two words; hyper and committed.

2. Corporal Dixon Khoo
A person who knows how to differentiate between war time and fun time. A very approachable and friendly as a puppy, so afraid not. Do approach him to share his weapons and provisions. However, a lazy fellow due to being ‘slow’ in nature, but will be able to complete given mission in crisis in time.

3. Corporal Lim Eu Ginn
A soldier who is NOT a perfectionist as he believes that nothing can be done to perfection. Taking the first step and showing commitment during the process is more important compared to achieving the ‘perfect’ end product (roger that!). He embraces failures but stated that failure is not the opposite if success. The opposite of success is ‘giving up’ the moment one tastes failure.

4. Private Michelle Wong Ching Yee
She seems to be a “quiet” person but once she got on hold of machine gun, she will shoot non-stop. She can be straight forward and well, everyone has weaknesses so, there is no exception for her. If you find her irritating, let her know (or you won’t be able to accomplish your mission) as she is very willing to improve in her battle skills and that she will try her very best to change to suite your battle strategy.

5. Private Ng Mann Dee
This female soldier is approachable when she is unarmed, critical when she is armed and she has never parted with her walkie-talkie but guess what? She used to work part-time as a clown. It can be one of our strategies to deceive our enemies!

6. Private Wong Kong Hui
This is a very humble soldier who claimed himself to be an ordinary and easy-going person. C’mon! You are no longer ordinary once you joined this army. Anyway, he hopes to learn from the rest of the soldiers in this team so soldiers, do share your battle experiences and skills with him. We need to support and help each other in order to grow together.

7. Private Vivian Kuan
A very optimistic and perfectionist female soldier of ours who seeks for joy in everything (wonder if she enjoys battles) because she view it as a necessity. She likes shiny stuff (she will be our last option to design our uniform) and that for her, dance is love (how about marching?).

8. Private Timothy Low
Claimed to be an ordinary soldier with the intention to help out AIESEC TUC in the PBoX and that he is very looking forward to working with all of us (Worry not, soldier, our team is very diversified and rest assure that you will definitely learn a lot from us. How about dancing from Private Vivian?).

9. Private Vincent Lim
Opposite to our aforementioned Corporal Lim Eu Ginn, when it comes to serious work, this soldier is almost a perfectionist. He enjoys hanging out and battling with people (be extra cautious when you are armed).



Dixon, Kong Hui, Vincent Xu, Eu Ginn, Mann Dee, Timothy, Angelina, Ching Yee
MIA: Vivian and Vincent Lim

These are the great soldiers that I am going to work with and I am really excited. We are a strong and tough soldiers so, do look forward to the outcome of our battle!
