Challenge - Day 16

again, i was late to post a blog according to the challenge. i am so sorry. hooked up with pretty much things at night though. but, this is it, here's the post.

i want to write about something i do, or did, during my A-Level year.

during the time, i held a position in one of the departments in ALUK Society - The Academic Department - as the Head of Department.

the department comprised of 8 people from ALUK Society including me and 2 additional girls from ALMEC Society.

the history of the Academic Department:
before the formation of the department, all the applicants for any position in the society needed to go through the interview by the seniors. there were only E'zzati and i applying for the position of the Head of Academic Department. so, we did the interview quite well as there was only some talks and chats, sharing some experiences moment and all.

after Coronation Day - where the High Committee (HICOM) being announced for all their positions - and all ALUK people being told about their new organizing structure, there was the very first meeting for the new society. we were all assigned to respective departments. E'zzati and i were the only members of the Academic Department. but then, due to the lack of people for the most important department of the society, Nazura volunteered herself to be the member of my department, changing from the Religious Department. and so, there were me with those two girls.

some days after, i thought that we need to get to know each other, so i held a meeting - our very first meeting of the department. so at the meeting, other than getting know of each other, we planned to add up our members of department so that it would be much easier to organize any event. afterwards, we promoted the plan through social media - Facebook and WhatsApp mainly - asking them to join our department but we didn't get much response (ALUK people are so dull and not supportive at all). luckily, Jamalina and Hisyam turned up for the interview (yeah, we held an interview session to get to know the applicants) and since there were only two of them and they were good enough for our department, so we accepted them in.

but then, we still in need of more members. so i asked all of the current members - E'zzati, Nazura, Hisyam and Jamalina - to ask any of their friends to join our department as none of my friends were good enough for my department and i didn't prefer to work with people i know much, afraid they would not act professionally. fortunately, E'zzati's friend, Shariff willing to join our department while Jamalina got two of her friends, Aina and Nadira to join us too.

some days after, i held a meeting to acknowledge each other and form an organizing structure. at the meeting we elected Nazura as my assistant, E'zzati and the treasurer and Hisyam and Nadira as the secretaries. as for Jamalina and Shariff, they were the designers for any of the department's projects that require any designing task and Aina as the social communicator who needs to communicate to ALUK people by giving out promotions and stuffs like that through social media.

we held so many (notice that i exaggerated but quite true actually) events ever since and working with them is so much fun. they are easy to work with and they listen to me (though not at all time but they are good). i am really glad that we had the chance to get to know each other through this department. so many predicaments we faced, and we faced them together. i am so happy to work with them and acknowledge myself, my department, The Academic Department of ALUK Society is the best department in the society (hahaa quite a true statement actually).

actually, we had two additional girls from ALMEC named Syafiqah and Nadiah. they bacame part of our team since if there is any collaborative energy needed for any event especially the Study Group project with ALMEC Society, there would be easy to discuss about it (but then, not so much collaboration we did hahaaa).

to summarize up the whole essay, at the beginning of the formation of the department, there were only me and E'zzati. the we added Nazura in. right after interview session for new incoming members, we added Jamalina and Hisyam. then, we added another three members, Shariff, Aina and Nadira before the additional two girls, Syafiqah and Nadiah from the ALMEC.

p/s: we are actually planning to hold out a dinner as the last gathering before the department members officially dismissed since we are now in the third semester in INTEC and the positions are need to be passed to the juniors. so, hopefully there would not be any drama during the dinner hahaa especially from me.

i think that is all for now.

so, adios azizos.
