I had the privilege of talking to a bunch of young & talented bunch of Leos this afternoon @ SMK Subang Utama as we had the "inaugural" meeting of the FOC... (Well, to be exact 9to save my a**, it wasn't really a meeting, but more of a brainstorming/idea digging/creativity indulging session come briefing for 2010 Sub District 308B2 LEO Forum)
There were quite a number of questions, thoughts thrown out by the fellow Leos... concerns... dissatisfactions etc etc over previous forums.. some due to unforeseen circumstances where they are out-of-our control... some that are within our powers to change for the better.. most of all... I think one thing that came up was...
ONE VENUE!!!!
YUP. I totally agree with that one, for sure! haw haw haw! Oh well... The thing is, we have to kind'a like ensure that we house everything under one roof so that we do not have problems with the following:
i) WTH?!!! how to make it back here at 7! It's already 5.30 and we're waiting for those %%^^&*$#%^ buses that are always late!!!
ii) Where's the food?
iii) STOP SCREAMING AT US ALAN THOO
iv) I have to whatttt?!!!! walk up the stairs???? Wait? 2 lifts? whatttttttt?!?!!!!!
Also.... one of the most important objectives of a LEO Forum has never been met always...
FELLOWSHIP (???!!!)
To those who have been to LEO Forums before...
You arrive @ the hotel, no keys. Haywire. Wait. Buses suddenly comes. FOC starts to move you guys into buses. But wait.. my luggage? Chuck here! Dont worry. Go first. You go on board. Then, you forgot.. OH NO! My lunch!!! Then, you followed the whole group under the hot sun. No idea who is who, what is what. Then, you did what they asked you to do. Then, you come back. Lift overload. You climb up 11 floors up. Wait for the toilet cause the other 3 dudes are shaving. Then, you get your turn. Rushed out of the room... then, lift overload. you rush down. Then, you have to wait again. and again. then.. you arrive at the venue... too packed and over-stressed out people starts screaming. then you boh song and tu-lan, then, you still kept quiet.. mood totally gone... the food sux. then, head banging music. then.. go back. then, you wanted to go next door to ask for food & drinks, then.. the FOC comes knocking on doors and you're busted. then... next morning, you wake up.. tired as hell.. then, you went through the opening. attend some seminars... get some awards... then.. the process of the bus-hotel-lift-climb-wait-vice versa cycle takes place again... then, you had the banquet... then... the other night cycle rotates itself. Next morning, you dragged yourself up.. no breakfast or breakfast is just sandwich.. then.. YOU GO HOME. :)
Fellowship? oh come on...! Name me 10 leos from other regions whom you've met and kept in touch with since the Penang Forum? Or the Ipoh Forum???
Yea.. those stuff. But, do note, it's not going to be an easy task for the FOC this time round cause I gave them a challenge... to make this next forum... THE ULTIMATE EXPERIENCE... (fuyoh!) How are we able to do that... oh well...here goes:
i) All under RM200.. or RM250 perhaps?
ii) 3 to a standard room rather than 4 (wah liaoo eh.. as some said!)
iii) Do everything differently!!! (hahaha!)
iv) Each portfolio or "departments" to perfect all the smaller details in order to give that Ultimate Experience...!
Not easy. I have supervised LEO Forums for many years now, and this time round, I'm not just supervising a small or sub-department. I'm to handle the advisory board as a whole, to give that Ultimate Experience too. Not easy I must say....! But in Stephen Covey's highly acclaimed 7 Habits.... his 2nd habit is ~ "Begin with the End in Mind!"... 'nuff said!
In addition to that, we are bringing change! Our FOCC is the youngest that I have ever worked with.. oh ya, if you do not know by now, she's the current President of the Leo Club of SMK Subang Utama, Leo Michelle Wu!!! it;ll be a challenge for her to work with and control half of the FOC who is older and more experienced than her! But I have faith in what I do, what I see, what I know... And Michelle is gonna be one helluva chic you do not wanna mess with. yaaa (Eliza, you're out-dated! hohoho)
Some ideas that were thrown about was to eliminate transportation (hence, One Venue!)... an event that encourages bonding & fellowship and I'm not just talking about Fellowship Nite alone... and even more.
Sub-District LEO Forum 308B2...
June 2010
Hmmmm..... I quote a girl from the south who claimed that they inevitably host the best forums as compared to B2 as we are pretty suckish... here's what I have to say...
"You're gonna miss out so much fun as you are not invited to our Ultimate Forum next year!"
This of course has to end with a ":P" (blek)
We have a great team. We shall have the ULTIMATE LEO FORUM.
