NLDS Singapore 2005 - "Discovering Passion, Unleashing Potential"

It's been a while since the last posting cos things have been moving soo soo fast since my last entry...

One of the greatest highlight of my term so far: NLDS Singapore 2005

The conference was from 8th to 11th Dec, with the facilitator pre meeting from 6th to 7th Dec 2005. So from 2nd Dec onwards, everything was just crazy with so much to prepare.. didn't help that I fell quite sick even before the conference... must be a curse of NLDS... I think I have been sick almost every NLDS since my 1st year in AIESEC :)

Anyway, the delegates this time were really cool people... the turnout was quite small but the people were really enthusiastic and eager to learn... they really made all the difference to the entire atmosphere of the conference...

The facils had a great time as well, especially with our guests from overseas, Bomi from AIESEC Hong Kong and Jasmine from AIESEC Malaysia... I'm glad they enjoyed themselves so much here also and I'm thankful for the help and perspectives offered by them... =)

I didn't bring my camera but there were delegates taking photos all over the place so stay tuned while we consolidate all the photos...

All in all, it was a great experience... all the months of hard work really paid off in the end, with NLDS ending with a bang and all leaving with fond memories, new knowledge, rediscovered passion and a chance to look at their potential... =)

Visitor in the house...

My house had a visitor in the night...

I walked past my brother's room this morning to find something hanging from his light...

A bat!! and quite a small bat too... hanging there, sleeping peacefully (at least I assumed it was sleeping)...

Never seen one this close up before... most of the time I just see them swoop past the glare of the street lights at night, the kind where you can just vaguely make out the shadowly profile of the bat...

but here... wow... it's quite cute really....

my mom tried to prod it to fly away but it just hung there swaying as my mom prodded it, looking around the room... must be quite disoriented...

oh well.. we'll just have to see if it flies away this evening... :)
