學記·傳承

這兩天,臉書充滿許多學記精彩的故事。
回想起學記這兩個字,真的改變了我的一生。

剛才和兩個在馬來西亞的你們聊天,聊起了很多以前學記的故事。
不知不覺,7年就這樣過去了。
現在回想之前當學記,有點懷念以前的熱血。
以前大家可以不顧一切的去做、去拼。
有時候真的很懷念以前純純的每個人。


離開學記隊參與外面的世界後,發現學記真的教會了我許多知識。
當然也開始發現很多方法只適合用於學記裡。
學記提倡獨立思考,我相信一個學記很重要的精神就是獨立邏輯思考。
23是一群很特別的寶寶,
23教會我許多寶貴的經驗。

場地,雪隆那麼大,我其實並不相信找不到任何學校。
稍微花多一點時間走多一點路,或許真的沒有很難的。
『或許你會覺得我們不明白你們多麼困難,可是希望你也明白我們這群學哥學姐也曾經是學記,我們也曾經走過你們的路,我們也曾經遇過你們目前面對的問題。』

舞台,其實我本身也不是這行的人,所以你說美美的舞台,我也真的做不到。
至少,人是可以變通的。
如果不夠人手,可以考慮直接印海報掛上去,省功夫省時間也不貴。
很多東西其實沒有所謂的那套。

或許和你分享下以前23屆辦美食營的故事,
23屆的美食營工委本來有大概30-40個工委。
我們一直找不到場地,從吉隆坡到雪蘭莪,
每天放學都和學記會合然後去不同的學校找校長。
我們常說,如果有校長爽快答應我們,那是奇蹟。
而奇蹟真的發生在我們身上,猶記得那天,當校長直接說行的那刻。
我們三個都傻眼了。
『世上沒有絕對的事情,凡事沒有試過的話就不要先下定論。』

我們辦美食營經過一波三則,宣傳出了之後發現和星洲花蹤頒獎典禮撞期。
我們在沒有負責人的情況下自己辦營。
或許timing不是很好,當我們已經訂了營衣、膳食之後,
H1N1流感病毒爆發,搞到我們的營會一半的營員缺席,工委也有一些不能出席。
我們依然堅持完成我們的營會。
『或許一切不是很順利,但我們也因此學到了許多寶貴的經驗。』

或許因為在外辦了許多營會、活動之後發現,
其實一個營會的素質不在於你的舞台名卡營衣有多麼美、場地有多麼大、設施多麼好、膳食多好吃,一個營會最重要的素質是你帶給了營員什麼價值。
可能是美好的回憶、難忘的友誼、心靈的成長等等。
『一個營員從那個營會可以帶走什麼價值才是最重要的。』

現在想起來,或許學哥學姐有時的批評會無理取鬧。
可是學哥學姐說的話並非完全沒有道理。
有時候,轉個角度,站在學哥學姐的立場想,他們也是出自於好意告訴你他們的想法。
我可是寧願學哥學姐給多點意見。
如果真的做錯了,或者可以做到更好。
請接受自己做得不夠好。
『如果一直給理由自己的話,你是永遠學不到東西的。』

所以有些人會在學記學到很多東西,而有些人則覺得學記太無聊。
『一切其實處決於你的態度。』

對就要傳承,可以更好的就該變到更好。
如果盲目跟從以前的人做的東西,學記如何會進步啊。
很多東西其實有不同的方法完成,而所有的方法絕對沒有對和錯。
依然很喜歡當年我們這群小瓜,敢敢走出自己在學記這片藍天的路。

学记回忆录

不知道为何,就是很珍惜学记情。因为在英国,这两年都错过了回巢,所以仅以这篇文章来写下我对学记的思念吧。看着每位同届在群组的update和照片,多么希望自己也能够和他们聚在一起。

若你现在问我什么是学记,我会告诉你学记队是一艘列车,当你搭上了这艘列车以后,你会展开一段不可思议的旅程。这艘列车并不平凡,途中你会遇到许多精彩的事物,然而这艘列车并没有终点,只要你们一直坚持着自己的信念作为燃料,它就会不断的行走,直到属于你们自己的目的地。

参加学记真的是一种缘分,偶然看到学海,偶然写了文章寄了表格去了面试。参加培训营犹如昨日的事情,一切的画面依然历历在目。想起当初自己一个人加入学记这大家庭,然后认识了这群在我青春里写下许多回忆的同伴,直到如今依然很珍惜这份友情。

16岁的我们似乎不知天高地厚,曾经大胆的去陌生的地方、陌生的学校,走进校长室告诉他,我们要在你学校办营!(子康应该也记得吧?>.<)一群小瓜曾经不顾一切的聚在一起写计划书,Times Square 10楼Food Court、茨厂街的麦当劳、CM的麦当劳都充满了我们的回忆(只可惜都关闭了)。依然感激庆华学哥和继来学哥教会我们许多关于计划书的知识。依然记得第一次打电话给佳莹,问她是否来参与区会议,然后开始熟络之后就一直在电话长聊计划书的节目idea!

一群小瓜曾经在麦当劳过夜弄小册子以及纪念品。一群小瓜自己搭巴士去丹绒士拔下乡营,搭火车去森州全国营。犹记得我们四个坐了很久的巴士依然未抵达目的地,经过油棕园和荒山野林时,惠婷说了一堆油棕园强奸案的新闻给我们。

依然记得我们参加森州培训营(对,军训!反正不会死!),星洲觉得学记需要大改革,见证学记十大品格的诞生。从奉献到今年的热情,时间真的过得很快。

第一次自己办营,不知怎么学会和营衣厂讨价,不知怎么和膳食uncle auntie订餐,不知走遍雪隆区多少间学校。依然记得和捷传、美韵一起找到爽快答应我们的校方那刻的喜悦。不知H1N1的严重性,营会差点被腰斩,一半的营员缺席营会几乎面临亏损。依然记得每个工委身兼多职,财政变站长又变辅导员又变营员。

依然很佩服当年大家说做就做的个性,学记第一次用Studio录营歌。依然记得第一次在咏欣家录音,把钥匙留了在家里,兆贤爬进一楼的窗口开门。弄了一个心型的小册子,辛苦了出版组排版的珈杏,还有一群坐在One U Food Court 一起烧香制造小册子的同伴。

依然很怀念当初在知知港的星星营,如何一起练手语带早操,半夜不睡觉,聚在一起哈拉,珈杏笑到哭的样子。不知从谁开始把红眼症传染了半个营会。

依然很感慨和伟伦合作无间的办营会,依然很记得每天坐在家里电话旁和他商讨营会的一切。和他一起合作让我明白了了‘顾全大局’,至今我依然深深记得每个决定都要顾全大局。依然很记得我们曾经在下乡营许下不要进入联谊会的决定(把慧怡学姐吓了一跳),然后几乎说了这句话的那群小瓜,都进了联谊会。

依然记得我们在培才办培训营,一个很特别的培训营。走路回去报馆回巢,第一次三天两夜的学记培训营,而且学记面试还是安排在营会的最后一天。依然记得纽扣的故事 =P,依然记得如何瓜分了八个新的区,依然记得每个工委对营会付出的一切,依然很庆幸和你们每一个一起合作办营的时光。

依然记得我们当上学哥学姐,看着学弟妹进营,一贯的培训营游戏(学记证啊、谈判啊、水战啊),一切依然历历在目。记得当初学记证到期的那天,似乎有种不舍的感觉。当上联谊会主席,和一群战友一起度过了17岁精彩的一年。看着每个学弟妹变成他人的学哥学姐那刻,真的觉得他们每个都长了。

依然记得进贺卸任、国刚刚刚join星洲的样子。(依然记得当初自己竟然敢叫国刚塞衣服!><)依然记得我们大大胆提出了很多方案,至今依然觉得不可思议,不知当年是如何拥有那么大的勇气敢敢站起来说话。

23届,可能你会说是最怪咖的一届,但或许就是如此,我们的学记生涯才如此精彩。

学记其实是个很特别的团体,或许真的很怀念以前大家打破传统走出自己风格的性格吧。好的传统就应该一直传承下去,如果可以更好的事情就应该努力改变做到更好,而不是一味的跟着传统而忘了原本的意义。

不知不觉,原来已经八年了。踏入学记这大家庭已经开始第九个年头了。

那么偶然地,我们相逢在学记队的蓝天,那么一丁点地,就圈起一份缘,像七彩虹,跨越了地平线,缀灿了我的中学生涯。 =)

Who am I (1)?

This passage would like to dedicate to everyone who has been into my life and my life so awesome.

I believe CBN School Band is the place I started all my learning, values, leadership and commitment. I still remember a Chinese going into a band with majority of Malays and yet we had so much fun practice together for competitions, school performance, state performance, national performance. Sun burn, skip classes, no more extra time, and yet we still enjoy it a lot. We practice, train, sing, play, laugh, cry together.

Then in fate, I went into Sin Chew Daily and became a Student Reporter. I had to admit that it was the place who makes me who am I today. Without here, definitely I would not move so far. With all my mates, going through up and down, hosting camps, activities, writing articles, doing interviews, facing rejections. We have a strong bonding in each other as we believe we had gone through a special journey together which others would never understand.

Because of Student Reporter, I started to be active in Chinese Society and finally became the president of Chinese Society. Without any knowledge but leading a team to form a new team with other schools and there we started Four Star Gathering.

After leaving my high school, I went into National Service in Bidor, a lovely place. Gain my best experience for NS, which is so much fun and memories after all. Glad to know my besties from there, face everyone day and night. Talk heart to heart, cry heart to heart, laugh heart to heart. Learn, grow, make friends, lead, command. For me personally, I do enjoy staying in NS, it is peaceful and quiet, you can concentrate on everything you are doing, without the interruption of handphone and society. The experience in NS is always so valuable!

Then I went into Pu Gong Ying, alone again, went through interview, manage to pass the training camp as expected. Handling marketing team, running in Sentul and Wangsa Maju schools by legs. A lot a lot more stories I saw when I am doing marketing, which teacher is so dedicated to help and which teacher is not. This place is warm and you can find a family feel here, perhaps I dislike their structure and I left silently.

At the same time I join Pu Gong Ying, I went into Love, No Barrier 30 Hour Famine! YES, Malaysia biggest 30 Hour Famine. Went in with a hope of doing a role in Treasurer, which I think is quite impossible but they provided such a chance. I remembered I was WOW WOW WOW when they announce the team. I never believe that they will put a trust on a new girl who is only 19 to handle money.

Stories to be continued.....


Purpose of life =)

Hi everyone, after so long, I had officially came back to become a blogger. I started my blog since 3 December 2007 with this URL, I had changed it to personal blog for quite a long time. I started a blog because blog is a diary for me, to record every single moment which I am sad and happy. After years and years of typing blog, I started to change it to my personal blog, limited to my close friend. Slowly, we have left blogger and become more active on Facebook.

What makes me come back to blog again?

Blog is a place for me, for the best sharing that I can do.

I love to see everyone feel happy, that is why I love helping other, talking to other for inspiring more people. From helping other, maybe just a small action but I believe it means lot to the other party. From talking to the other, I believe even I can't inspire them, I can make their day more happy.

This is a question which makes me struggle for quite long, when I first received this question in September 2012. It takes me quite a long time to figure out this. Eventually, the moment you found out the answer, you will at least be clearer on yourself.

What is the purpose of your life?

You may think on the basis of this five points,
1. Who am I?
2. What I wish to do?
3. Who do I do it for?
4. What they need from me?
5. How they will change as a result?

I am Chiu Yee, a girl, stepping into 22 this year. I wish to help and inspire others to find their direction/purpose in their life. I strongly believe that if everyone knows what is the reason they are living for, no matter how tough the problem they face, they will still manage to go through it. I do it for everyone I am able to meet and need. They need a guidance, advise & support from me. They will be able to achieve their dreams and shine brightly, live happily and they will be able to help and inspire more people.  =)


I have finished mine, how about yours?

Take some time and write it down, you may find it useful for everything you are doing.
