“I wanted to join AIESEC in my first year

but somehow did not. Then in my 2nd

year, I told myself that I must check it out.

So I went to AIESEC Nite and saw people

shouting and dancing away on the stage

so ever crazily… strange but true!”

“He was saying something about

internationalism and the so-called

acronym of AIESEC –`Alcohol in excess, sex

in every conference’ and exchange. That

got my attention because I was and still

am interested in cultural exchanges.”

“In the beginning, I thought it is I & Z. She

explains to me about AIESEC - an

international society, is doing student

exchange, culture sharing, working abroad

as an intern. I think it is quite an

interesting club. ”

“Staring at the notice board, started

reading and the word `exchange’ caught

my eye! Whitsney, the AIESEC President

saw me and my friend and invited us into

the AIESEC room, shared with us about

AIESEC and what it’s all about.”

“I’ve heard stories of the AIESEC national

conference from a friend and found it

quite interesting! Told myself that I am

attending AIESEC Nite in my 2nd year even

I had no friends to accompany me. ”

“LLDS was great! I made many friends and

found out I could go to another country to

`work’ or organize events. What other

society can do that? And also AIESEC is the

world largest student run organization.

So, why not?”

- san san

“It was something different than any other

student organization. I want to know more

of what they can do and what they have

to offer. Most importantly, it was because

of my interest in exchange and

internationalism.”

- jamie

“Although all of my friends in my group

who were with me to attend LLDS

dropped out, I decided to stay on as I saw

what AIESEC could provide, an

opportunity to learn, develop and lead.”

- nicole

“… as I have talk to myself, I need to pick

up my English. Thanks to them - they did

not look down at me. Whenever I have

any words that I don’t understand, they’re

willing to explain to me”

- seanz

“It’s just amazing how we manage to work

together so well though from different

backgrounds and studies.

Somehow each of our strengths

complements someone else’s weakness.”
