APXLDS (Part 2)

There were 6 of us attended APXLDS 2007. Suat May, Sook Theng and Nick were in the LDS track and Daryl and me attended the XPRO track. Basically XPRO was very intense and intellectual basis. On the first day, we had a session to understand our self as a person and leader. Like our strengths and weaknesses. After we understand about our self, we need to understand the trend of the organization from the past until the present. For the other days we had sessions on the IPM 07 output, global strategies and the focus area. Basically we have to challenge the 'bring back' and discuss on few possible implementations and strategies base on the country's needs and capacity. XPRO gave us the opportunity to exchange our ideas and thoughts. Everyday, we will have country meet with different countries, whether it's over lunch/dinner or during party time. Country meet is for both country to exchange needs/offers and to discuss possible partnership between both countries.

After the tough day, we have parties at night. For example, AP Night (Nick is the Miss AP! Malaysia first time wining the title!!), Indian Night (got to understand the Indian culture..it's FUN!) and other random parties.

I'm so glad to be at APXLDS. Meeting back some old friends were great. The conference made me realized how much we can do for this organization to create the impact. I've also realized like there are still a lot to learnt and to contribute. I'm truly inspired by each and everyone at the conference. With the motivation, passion and commitment that each and everyone have, I'm sure AP GN will move to a greater height. Thank you APXLDS 2007!

Just thought I'd drop by to say hi... and even though this year has been going to conferences mainly in WENA and CEE but AP conferences are still closest to heart. :)
