Exited about AIESEC.net mail migration!

AIESEC.net mail is going to migrate to gmail!

The whole team is pretty excited about this (esp me who is the ultimate geek). Having a dedicated gmail server for aiesec.net emails definitely ups our internal branding (members might get a sense of pride that aiesec.net mail is more zng than other company mails), enhances email communication (no more "huh you sent me an email?" moments), and helps strengthen AIESEC's image as a global organization (now we can send @aiesec.net emails in peace instead of using our personal accounts).

Gmail as AIESEC.net mail really doesn't come cheap; http://www.google.com/apps/intl/en/business/details.html shows that it's $50/user/year. I'm pretty sure there's some sort of agreement and AIESEC gets it much cheaper, but in any case any cost incurred IMO is rather worth it. Regular users of aiesec.net will know that it's not the most stable email system, and there are many opportunity costs to not having a stable mailing system. Kudos AI for the move!

tinge of sadness amidst the newfound hope and happiness

hmm, i was still feeling the high of saying hello to 0910 yesterday, and had this awesome feeling of being absolutely proud of the results achieved in 0809.

today i received many farewell messages, i am beginning to feel a sense of melancholy.

today i had my last gcc meeting :( it was a great meeting, but at the same time, we won't ever be sitting in the same meeting ever again. i was reminded of the time last year when i received news that i was selected to the gcc, the absolute thrill of getting in.. what wonderful memories. :) now a year has flown by, and we've done many projects in this past year.

today, many of the 0809 presidents and teams step down, and everyone's saying goodbye.

yet it is also marks the new start for many 0910 presidents (my fellow comrades!) to begin their term.

i wonder how i will feel next year! haha~ let's keep an eye on this spot till next year k!

The New Year Ahead.... :)

Hello team Groundbreakers!! ;)

Here's a little report on the achievements of AIESEC Singapore 2008/2009. We have achieved our exchange targets and I'm very proud of the efforts of the previous MC team and all the LCs! We managed to complete 109X as of this evening, a 65% growth from last year! :) This places us in a good position globally (although not within AP, we slipped the ranks). But no worries, we will grab our position back and make an even stellar comeback!

Yes! Most countries globally are starting to wake up to AIESEC 2010 and our vision - every single day everyone is better understanding what the organization should be doing : the full AIESEC XP! Competition will be tougher than ever within the global network but I absolutely have faith in every single one of you to deliver on our goals! :D

1200X here we come! Are you ready for a year ahead of working smart, being fully aware of our resources and making full use of them? ;D

Our term begins tomorrow 8am :D

Cheers,
Cheryl
