Hey everyone!

This is going to be my final post about my quick trip to Sydney I went on last month for Youtube's first Business Bootcamp!

The final 2 days I didn't take too many photos so I just decided to combine them into 1 blog post!

For the 3rd day of the Business Bootcamp, we had to prepare a pitch for a brand which we had to do the next day.

He joined our table while we were planning for our pitch.. But we ended up doing a mentos and Diet Coke experiment instead :P

After I went with Meliney to the Sydney CBD for a meeting, and then we headed to dinner! We went through Darling Harbour again and got to see the really nice Winter Festival views!

For dinner we met up with my friend Steven again and had Italian at "Made in Italy"

The next day was the final day for the Youtube Bootcamp. I woke up early to have breakfast with Meliney

Google offered us breakfast every morning but it was too healthy for us :P haha

Pitch time! I was so nervous but it went better than I expected!

Afterwards Meliney and I decided to hang out with my friend Wendy for our final night! We had dinner at the after party and then Wendy took us to the CBD to do a bit of shopping!

Wendy took us to this really nice place that sold a lot of green tea drinks! It was in this kind of alley that looked like Japan!

Hi everyone!

Today I'm going to be telling you guys about day 2 of the Youtube Business Bootcamp! I didn't really take many photos on the day, I woke up early and got to the Google office early to have breakfast. Day 2 was mainly about public speaking and how we can improve ourselves for media interviews. I've had a few media interviews before, and to be honest, I have no idea how to present myself. I've always made videos for fun on Youtube, I never thought about getting attention from anyone let alone being on the front page of a newspaper! I definitely learnt a lot that day and will take what I learnt to help myself improve in the future!

After the bootcamp I went back to the hotel and organized with Steven to meet again for dinner. Meliney from Meliney Nail Art also came along which was nice! I was meeting two friends for the first time so I was super excited!

With Nancy and Wendy!
Nancy is also a Youtuber! I've known her for a few years and she is so sweet! Check out her Youtube channel if you have time! http://www.youtube.com/BeautyxBB

I've known Wendy for almost 10 years and believe it or not, this is the first time we have met in person! Back when I was in highschool, I used to be crazy obsessed with Australian Idol and used to participate in forums very regularly after school. I met Wendy on the forums and we used to spend countless of hours talking about everything! After I got over that phase, we still kept in contact and finally, after 10 years we're able to meet for the very first time!

We all went out to dinner together, Steven took us to a really nice Greek place in Darling Harbour
