SINGAPORE MODEL UNITED NATIONS 2007 AFTER THOUGHTS.... =)
Finally at home now..after the past 5 daes in school for SMUN 07..
Wow, what can i say? haha.
Had an absolutely brillant time. The closing ceremony scenes kinda reminded me a little of how Arts Camp 05 ended. Seeing the student delegates making lotsa new friends from different schools and cheering loudly and happily as an individual committee all around LT8..Was really touching.
I m sure Alvin feels really touched as well..and i m glad everyone gave him a standing ovation at the end. Like what i told him, though he still have much to improve on personally, but i judge him as the Secretary-General and as a leader over 10 months and not just 5 days. And thus, i feel really happy for him, that his 'baby' and his dream has finally come true. I noe that kind of feeling..it is unspeakable n undescribable, and it can touch n leave a person smiling to himself for weeks. I m glad i could help him along this journey as i told him..Right from the beginning 8 months ago, my main reason for promising to be a SMUN moderator was to repay the personal debt i owe him for helping me in Arts Club for the past 2 years.. =)
But along the way, i realize i have made many many new friends as well in the com.. My fellow moderators Kelvin, Yong Keong the Yoggi Bear, Edwardy, Justina..of whom we spent so much time cracking our brains out talking, discussing, debating, practising, etc etc haha! Others such as Yi Jian, Parvin, Aldil, Mingyan, Charles, Kayjal, Ayuni, Ouyang Feng, Matthew, Ulric, Zafirah, Kyairul, Theresa, Kim Seng, fadhillah, and of coz Harris and John. John did great as well, and lotsa pple love him and noe the real him, so its kinda disappointing how some people choose to judge him based on just a single interview instead of listening to recommendations.
And most importantly, my dais and Research Experts for WHO => Nadiah, Natalie, Manu, and Maryam. You guys ABSOLUTELY ROCK!! I had a great and fantastic time working with the 4 of u! To Nad and Nat, thanks in particular for being there ever since Dec' 06, and for hammering out the damn long research guide with me! And then for being such wonderful, meticulous, supportive and responsible research experts during the past 5 daes itself. To Manu, ya the man man!! All along, i knew u were those kind of chaps who are zai wan, and yr wonderful, crazy ideas and technological superiority, as well as yr expertise n experience with the Rules of Procedure really aided me and made us such a stronger com!! To Maryam, thank you so much for volunteering to help as usher even tho the job is really tiring and can be irritating at times. And thanks for offering yr advice and viewpoints as well! =)
Last but of coz not least, the delegates from all the various JCs gathered collectively in the World Health Organization committee!! n_n You guys absolutely rock as well! I have always believed in mutual respect, and in this case, right from the start, i treated them not as kids, but as sensible students capable of making their own decisions and capable of taking care of themselves. You guys left me with so much sweet memories, and thanks for making me feel so special at the closing ceremony haha! And congratulations to the respective winners. =) There were so many occasions when i was really left amused by u guys but of coz, as chairperson, i had to maintain a serious face and stance during com sessions even though i am obviously more of a whacky than serious person ahahah! But really, i learn previously during Arts Quiz 06 n 07 not to underestimate jc students and i was right. Some of them really left a great performance and impression on me.
Must organize gathering soon k WHO! Love u guys from the bottom of my heart. n_n
I have a feeling this ll turn out to be another great and wonderful holidaes, just like the past 2 years.
My next mission is to aid Jeremy irons and help him deliver his 'baby' and fulfill his dream. =) So that on the last dae of Arts Camp, he too can experience what i felt on 24th June 2005 n what Alvin felt on 8th of June 2007.
Pre-camp coming!!!
