World of Convenience

Personally I like to choose the so-called critical time to update my blog.
Kiam-pak! Haha~

Update some bits of my life.
Joined the Mobile Youth Unconference 2010 in Technology Park Malaysia, KL on 11th March.
It's basically a gathering talking about youth marketing.
Yeah, I know this term is new.
In simple words, this was conference where the youth told the corporates what brands they like and what brands they don't like and what marketing strategy actually touches their hearts or what marketing strategy sucks.

As I was invited as one of the youth panel, I was given 8 free passes.
I offered these to my friends around me.
But surprisingly, not many people were actually interested in this.
Maybe this is not relevant to them, I suppose or I was just being too kaypo.
This is an awesome convention I would say, at least from my point of view.
Though the crowd was not huge (I expect to see more youths), it broadened my angle of sight.
Met great people. Indeed a lot of inspiring and motivating input I'd gained from there.
And this definitely will be useful in my future career.

One thing interests me.
Generally (I didn't say ALL), College students are so active in networking compared to public university students.
(My assumption) Perhaps the public uni students are all so-called "The Chosen Ones"..
So they must not waste their time in doing the "time-wasting" things besides getting the best scores to get into Dean's list or First Class.
C'mon. sometimes giving up your CGPA of 0.05 and exposing yourself may give you more than what the 0.05 would offer you..
instead 3.00 and 3.50 are of not much differences..unless you have a 4.00..then I'd shut my mouth up.
At least in my case, first class or second class doesn't matter me much.
Still at the end of the day, we will be standing behind the counter, doing the same thing "aunty, panadol 2 biji 4 kali satu hari" with the SAME pay..

Right after the MYU, back to Penang and the next day was Green Lung AGM.
Meaning to say, after a 9-month tenure, I'm now off the chair.
however I suppose my obligation wouldn't just stop here..
This is a voluntary work anyway..
and there is no "expiry date" until my passion fades away..

And amazingly, maybe bcoz of MYU, people knew about Green Lung.
and yeah, doors are open to Green Lung and just the matter of fact whether it is ready to expose to the shock..
They offered establishing partnership or collaboration with Green Lung..this is definitely a good thing for the future of Green Lung..
however, I'm no longer holding the wheel..so I better shut up..haha..

Again, MYU & AGM gave me a spark of thought..
"People will choose to be convenient staying in their own comfort zones."
And perhaps this is the hint that I should fully utilize.

I will not ever take the hint!

Not me staying in the comfort zone..but the others around me..
