First of all, I am really really glad that my first-fully-managed project, TechCycle Teah4ALL has successfully come to an end. It is a really spontaneous move, because we just decided to run this project on the spot, without much consideration of other factors. We just had one month of planning before we ran this. We did not join all the planning with national team and other LCs. All we did is to have 2 meetings with MC, and just do it!
Although we only managed to match 2 EPs to this project, we are proud to say they have a memorable and fulfilling internship. They have managed to conduct 5 workshops at SMK Bandar Sunway, SMK Sri Aman, Catholic High School, SMK Subang Jaya. A uni campaign was carried out in Taylor's as well. They have successfully collected 20+ items of e-waste for our project. *Clap Clap* And I really thank my project team, for being able to pull things out despite being new in running project. I am too lucky to have such fantastic teammates to work with me. :)

After completing my AIESEC work in Malaysia, here comes my new AIESEC journey in Hanoi! I have visited a few places. Old Quarter, Hoan Kiem Lake, West Lake, Temple of Literature, Grand Opera House, Bat Trang Village etc :3
On 16th Feb, I have visited so many places at one shot! There's a temple in the middle of the lake, underneath the legend of Turtle (Top Left Pic). There were people demonstrating for the peace that Vietnam has when China invaded them years ago on that day (Top Middle). And there are so many French buildings around the Old Quarter (Top Right). Wedding couples love to take picture around these beautiful buildings and this is a tourist-must-go spot! (Bottom Left). And one of my favourite places, the Grand Opera House! (Bottom Middle). Last but not least, I also went to the garden and cafe within their housing area! It is such a breathtaking scenery. :)

| There was an art exhibition in front of the Cafe in housing area. And this is my favourite art piece! Do I look like on of the children with innocent smiles too? =) |
 |
| Try to walk along the roads in Old Quarter, and you'll always find all the beautiful flowers smiling at you ;) |
Duckie and Vaan were so spontaneous as they joined us immediately after my host sister's friend, Le called them in the morning. And none of them has been to this village before this.
So here is a blur picture of us making " an art piece" together. 3 interns + 3 new friends :)
On 23rd (Sun) This is the Opening Day of Global Passport in NEU! Around 20 attendees came. This is the day where OC will brief attendees about AIESEC and also this project. This is the first day where they meet EPs, like other interns and me. LCPe explained AIESEC history for them, followed by introduction of project by Project Manager. After that, we had some game and sharing session. It was fun, especially when we had a game which needed us to apply toothpaste on our faces and pass around the team. The toothpaste is really sticky, but we enjoyed ourselves. :)

In the afternoon, we had meeting with the whole project team. And we went to the Information Day of AIESEC in NEU Hanoi. I was very surprised that their info day is on a Sunday. Imagine if you were to be invited to an inf o session on a Sunday in Taylor's, I guess nobody would attend. But, students here are keen to learn. AIESECers are like an elite team. Confident, outspoken and dynamic. And it is hard to get in too. For their last recruitment, they only chose 3 candidates out of 60 students. OH MY GOODNESS. Thank god I am in Malaysia.
After meeting, we went to several cafesss. The first one is Holic Cafe. It is a small yet comfortable cafe. Quaint-and-classy style. The only bad thing about this cafe is they dont sell any cooked food. Neither do they have snacks. So, we can't really have a good meal or high tea while enjoying the coffee here. Nonetheless, their coffee is fabulous. My green tea latte. It is RM6.50 (35,000 VND) and is definitely worth trying :) I have never taken any coffee in Malaysia, but since the day I came to Vietnam, I have started to drink as the weather here is cold. Feel so warm every time we drink something hot. ^^ And we went on to another cafe to have some hot food while chilling there.

Meeting, planning, site-visit and eating is basically what we do before classes start. The real challenge only starts when the scene of attendees attending classes comes into picture. So, stay tuned for more. Love :)
