I am so EXCITED!!

This year's AI dance "I am so excited" keeps playing again and again in my head.

Must have been that wonderful meeting with our Teacher Advisor, Prof Hooi Den Huan.

Sze fei and I went to the meeting anticipating something good *yah he told us that he has some good news to tell us* with regards to our plan of having a Marketing workshop. It was our 2nd meeting.

Prof Hooi is one of the Marketing Gurus, he befriends the Marketing Gurus too [Philip Kotler, Hermawan Kartajaya...check who they are if you had no idea :) ]. So, during our first meeting, we went from a small plan of merely educating our member base to having a bigger scale workshop targetting the undergraduates, especially those from NTU.

So, he brings in another speaker to our workshop, Prof Wan. Yes, another Marketing Guru from Nanyang Biz Skul. Apparently, he was an AIESECer back in 1970s while he was studying in Switzerland. OMG... true AIESECers just can't let go of AIESEC :) That's why I am proud to be in. Maybe to be one of a real AIESECer in the future too.

Up till this part... I was: "Great...more speakers, more credibility, more attendees, more sponsors."

But, that's not the main thing.

Prof Wan managed to secure a 5K sponsorship for this workshop using his network. Ouch...I was floating in the sky by now. Of course, there are some deliveries to this sponsorship. But hey..it's good right? We have something to start with.

By this time, if I was not fit enough, I might have gotten a heart attack level 9 *haha*

Then, Prof Hooi continued telling us his story. He was having a conversation with his friend when he mentioned about this event...And gosh, his best friend showed his interest to join in as a speaker. He wants it as he himself is the Advisor for AIESEC Local Chapter in Surabaya! Yah..talk about our network - but that's not the point here.

We were SHOCKED to the max. My jaw dropped. What? Another Marketing Guru to join our line of speakers. Woo hoo...AMAZING!! Not just an ordinary Marketing Guru, we have Hermawan Kartajaya here... Hello!!!

Haha..many things to do now. The expectations are high, at least from my side. But well... It's one of the starting point. We gotta nail it down no matter what.

So all, beware of this:
1. Marketing workshop next year *book your agenda!
2. 3 reputable Marketing Guru: Hermawan Kartajaya, Prof Hooi Den Huan and Prof Wan Chew Yoong *what else huh?
3. Media coverage?? we'll see *haha

Can't stop smiling...and yeah, I'm so excited!
Heart beat level is getting higher and higher.

Everyday starts today!

Great news!! Way to go @NTU!!

If only there are USB plug points in human beings to enable transferring of data and excitement. That would make a whole lot easier to get a big bunchy of crazy @ers like you, Dee!!

Nice blog btw...keep the postings coming.. =)

Cheers.
