Prosh Uwa

It's the annual PROSH 21st April! It's one of the major events in Uwa where students wearing funky clothes with their own set theme and flood the city and major suburbs to sell student-made newspapers. It's a charity event and all the money goes to the children foundation. The event officially started at 4am for pre-prosh celebration. Oak lawn in the uni is so packed that we had no space to move around. Kept bumping into each other.

Since I'm going to uni at 3ish, I started preparing around 2ish and that means I don't have sleep! I went to prosh under aiesec again, haha. The theme was angels vs devils. Obviously I don't wanna be a devil. =P

The scene in the uni was so interesting, the biz school group dressed up as avatars, some as the sesame street characters, some in clown suits and lots more that you can think of. Around 6am we got loads of newspapers supply and hunting for buses. All buses passing by the uni were all full and it's like india where everybody is fighting to go up to the bus.

We went as an aiesec group but later on splitted up as we targetted different people to sell our newspapers. At last, my group left minh, wen and me. We roamed around st george's terrace, city, roadside (targetting drivers when they were stopping), northbridge and inside tafe building, Hah. Very interesting and fun and leg-sore experience.

I was so happy when people bought newspaper from me and I received coins from them. Some who are generous gave 5 to 10 dollars, woohooo! Almost every corner there were uwa students and almost every passerby that I saw was holding one copy! One of the people said ' we can't get through if we don't buy!' Lol.

Around 10am everyone was tired, we walked A LOT! Then we proceed to city and managed to bump into a few more aiesec-ers. We then went to Maccas which was full of students for breakfast.

The sesame street and pink panther! =D

Tedx Perth April

Yesterday night which is monday, I attended a Tedx perth event through aiesec. TED is a small nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It's a monthly thing where people, mostly youth and young professionals gather together to watch inspirational ted talks videos from Us etc. I've watched 3 talk videos yesterday and definitely amazed by how the world population engages in the game World of warcraft, the total time for playing the game from the whole world is equivalent to 5.93 million years, crazy ain't it?

After the ted videos, we had two sessions of discussion on various issues in a group. Interesting to know what's happening globally. I think I'll go to tedx May. After the whole workshop, we played around the science tech. So fun!

The things there were interesting, like listening to the stomach sounds, playing with laser harp, cycle to generate power and lots more! Shall play more next time, =D.

Supposedly start at 11am, we reached at 1045ish. Guess what, it started at 1140am. =.= Do they need to impose malaysian timing even over here? Haha, typical I guess. There's like officer and a lady from consulate giving us a short speech. Asked us go back and serve the country and realize 1Malaysia and vision 2020, hahaha, ahems.

Then there's food! Free at least, lol. Nasi briyani, mee goreng, chicken etc. =D

Sunday

After church service, I went to dragon palace in northbridge for lunch with grace and nerissa. Ohmymyyy, the dimsum was sooooo sumptious. We waited 30mins or longer before we get a table. Many people lining up and the restaurant is packed. Didn't manage to take a picture of everything we eat. =X There's the bun, lao sa bao, so soft and crispy and nice, inside having a yellow/orange sauce which is so yummmm!

The ha kao is so big and delicious. The cheechong fun is different from the ones in msia, stuffed with char siew, mmm. Fried squid, fried prawn with mayo, eggtarts and the rice thingy. Nicest dimsum ever! =D Thanks to grace and neri for treating me as a belated gift. =D

Aiesec State Conference #2

The conference has rules like being punctual and not losing your name tag, if not, you'll get punish. Tony stole my name tag! And i got punished. Luckily not too embarrassing and getting punished in a group. Hah coz' eventually they were all stealing each other's name tags.

Day 2 was exchange simulation where we need to find all the answers and procedures of a whole exchange process. It is so tedious, like there's a fake networking, and we really need to talk to the biz leaders yada yada to promote exchange and raise internships. Of course the biz leaders were impersonated by the committee members. Bla bla, i'm lazy t6o recall, I just know this thing went till evening.

At night, there's a skolling competition, my goodness, such big glasses and a few rounds, how can the stomach withstand the beer?hmm But watching it was fun though and cheering for them.

Day 3-

Closing plenary and they pass the motion that the organizing president should have his pants off, and unfortunately he must take off, Lol.

Day 3 is about your functional area, so we all are splitted up. I'm in finance so we are discussing about sponsorship. We played an aiesec monopoly game and I won! how good if it's real money, =P.

shaunna from china too, studying in curtin
tony that stole my name tag, lol




wheeee

Got back in the evening of the 3rd day, tired but quite alright, know quite many new people.

Aiesec State Conference #1

During Easter, I went to a 3day 2 nights aiesec state conference. Starting 5th April. We carpooled to the Bickley campsite.

Early morning, just arrived
denyse and menglu from curtin

the reservoir, menglu is from shandong, china

We are designated to the respective dorms, I'm in dorm C, spot my bed with a yellow blanket?

First day of conference is all about leadership and management talk and aiesec vision stuff like that. I vaguely remember the specific activities but there's station games where we need to pair up and do a three-legged race. We need to do something in the station to get the clue for the location of the next destination. Having the leg tied was tiring and painful coz' of the rope. Nevertheless, it was quite fun. I paired with a korean guy, hyo chan from curtin. I remember one of the station is you must eat sheep's tongue, raw and frozen, ewwwww. But only one person is required to eat so chan ate it of course! =P I'm evil. Another one is build something from spaghetti and marshmallows.

Yay, completed the station games and at night chilling out

At night they had loud music and the theme was jocks and cheerleaders. Apparently a lot of people don't have their costume, pheww, luckily.
