A Nice Closure Working Holiday

Yeah.... Sydney was kinda what I needed to get going again.



SPMs was a good time to think things thru, catch up with people and make new friends. I even got a hash name.... Tickle Me Skankman.... haha....

It was so nice to spend time with my SM team again, I've really come to respect them for their talents and personalities. Its a pity that we never got the chance to work together towards an output, we would have made a kick arse team!

Jake- the AIESEC nerd, always aware of everything AIESEC and knowing all the moves to the various line dances! Not to mention a compendium nerd. But above all, someone easy to talk to, always with an encouraging word to add.

Ryan - the impressive Qld SM! Always in control and in the thick of things.

Kylie - "I hate you all!" and drunk sums Kylie up best. But seriously, beautiful girl with a beautiful personality!

Bryn - cold exterior, but deep down he is a warm and fuzzy bugger! He gave me my first Elmo!

Hee... Finally theres me, the token Asian dude! ahah!

Met the other SMes too, impressed! Very switched on people! Go Jen, Heidz, Try, Su and Dan!








Conf was cool, met and connected with new people. Was also a good place and time to deal with some of the doubts, depression and demons swirling in my head(Thanks to Luce for that chat, cant wait to see u in VIC in a few days!). But more so, it was good to really get into the AIESEC culture, it was the first time I really hung out at parties, skolled, got into the themes and generaly let myself go and be comfortable with myself. I even participated in a Hash Run (which I thought would get me drunk, but it turned out ok). Drinking really is a Aussie social interaction and I really shd stop seeing it as a negative thing( I mean cultural understanding man!)




All in all, Sydney was a good place to go this time, not sure if I'm going up in Dec, maybe for Jake's 'Awesome ' Conf if it does not clash with VIC's timeline.
