I have been an AIESECer for a little over a year (a year + one month?) and this is my third conference.

 

In comparison to statecon 05' (if I can remember it)

The delegation: 06' topped it off with lik 100 delegates..or something like that..

The evil brew: Cam was involved in both..so they were both quite evil.

The skolling: Monash won last year, RMIT won this year (Weymin would be proud)..I let emma win...

The sledging: More content last year, maybe it was because of the swapping clothes, Alec, and maybe its because Ash learnt from his mistakes, but luckily we still had Murad and Chena to make up for it this year :P

The sessions: Expro flows are so amazingly different from LDS flows.

The weather: Very cold this statecon.

The "oohhh" moments: Shaz cried, Alice cried, Dave + Ippei, Rimit- the yellow/orange people, a growing delegation, VIC PRIDE, cool site manager, the 'spark' by Chair, RMIT vs MC, this was 06'!!!! so many "ooohhh" moments

The dances: New dances!!! No numa numa? But I guess the other dances make up for it

The punishments: The punishments were better last year.

The food: The food was better this conference.

The withdrawal symptoms: Worse withdrawal symptoms this year than last years state. But Julycon was by far the worst withdrawal symptoms apart from dromana. Aimlessly looking for photos...

 

Note: There is no Jashu. And look- Im a Monash/Caulfieldian/AIESEC Melbourne hybrid...if Jashu does happen (and I doubt it will...its because I dont even know this guy although he sounds like a cool guy..if he ever happens to come across this blog) it will not be a true Melbourne/Monash couple...itll be more like a Monash/Monash couple..and you already have !Shrilla. Plus there soooo many Melbourne girls who I am sure will volunteer to couple with the hot Monash guys. Girls that spring to mind automatically. Emma, Tina, Liz, Veronnica (although she could be taken soon...so quick!), sabrina, lynn.... Emma...

 

 

 

Lessons learnt from this conference:

1. Cheap sleeping bags are a no-no for cold places

2. Permanent marker..is quite permanent..

3. Murad is a really good poledancer

4. There are seven Ippeis in the region...hmmmm

5. Always bring two minute noodles to conferences

Final random Chant:

The Blue team:

B.L.U.E everybody look at me, I'm Blue Hey Hey I'm Blue...... .. .. (to the tune of Blue dabadee daba daa) "Immm blu,e if I was green I would die....If I was green I would die, if I was green I would dieeeee..."

 

 

 

Monash University:

Decides to close all libraries during essay writing week. Rating: 6/10

 

Yarra Valley Trams:

A tram breaks down and delays all trams along that line by 30 mins. But commuters need not worry, if they care to wait for 30 minutes, in the cold, with no indication of whats going on,  they can choose 2 hop onto any of the five trams that come at the same time and go to the same place. But commuters beware, ticket inspectors will check your tickets anyways. Rating: 8/10

 

Chinese Television:

If your a guy who has not much going for you except recently developed abs that you just realised you could move to music.. and you fancy showcasing your "talents" to an audience of primary school kids and a panel of B-grade, makeup plasted ugly actresses/songstresses, then this Chinese show is just for you (i didn't watch it long enough to get the name of the show). Note: Brains + Pride are not prerequisites, but leopold skin underwear peering out of your pants would be preferable. 7.5/10

 

Eminem:

Get this. He re-marries his ex-wife after becoming a multi-millionaire and then divorces her, without prenup, a few days later. 9/10

 

Metallica:

Decides to diss fans who download their music and sue Napster (our baby!) Uh oh. Thats  alot of their fans. Metallica just couldnt take the backlash so they decided to let their fans eventually share their old hits on the net. Hah! Anyways damage is done. The fans got their revenge and replaced music store shelves with burnt Metallica Cds from Napster on "Buy Nothing day" (anti- consumerism protest organised by internet activists..done all across the world) 11/10

 

 

 

 

1. The Dove Ad campaigns. First the natural sized women doing an ad for cellulite (doesnt matter what it was for...you know it was Dove..thats all that important). And now the big billboard on lonsdale/elizabeth street where they show a picture a girl with freckles and they ask us passerbyers to vote (via sms) if she is "freckled" or "flawless". Im gonna buy dove just to award them :P 10/10

 

2. Sudoku. This game is addictive because it makes you feel smart. And also- when you see others playing it, you feel a special bond towards them. You belong. Its like a paper version of snake. 6/10
