ASEAN Youth Meeting_5 April 2012

Salam, I hope the ambassador didn't pissed off

The crazy time continue, registered our attendance as usual and receive name tag and small pouch bag, neat!

I'm getting used with mistake on my name...as long they didn't make mistake on the certificate, I'm fine

Our morning activities was divided into 3 part in different station and the delegates and the interpreter/volunteers were divided into 3 groups. Each group will switch station for every 20 minutes.

In station 1 was a lecture by Mrs. Rosidah Pusu talking about Green Media for Youth....in Thai, so our MC translate every sentences.

Station 2 provide an activities to warm up our mind. The people in-charge ask us to create an excuse to let their parent to go overseas and parent to denied their request.

or as they put it in our program as "The Development of Life Skills for Youth and Their Quality of Life"

Lastly, in Station 3 hosted by Anek Nakabut. He talked about the Informal and Non-formal Education: A Chance to ASEAN.

After Lunch, we attended "Practical Working Drills". We were divided into 2 groups; ASEAN youth and Thai local Youth. In Station 1; The simple Ways of Happiness together with the king's Sufficiency Economy; where the presentation is smelly and amazing, I must say. In Station 2: The implementation of the Development Strategy for Youth.

They said this ball makes thing better

Then after some rest and dinner, we come to our suicide mission; THE PRESENTATION

We already tried to contact the delegates but to no avail. We didn't have the soft copy of the presentation and we managed to copy the presentation last night. However we were completely screwed when the chairman wanted the problem of culture, environment, drugs and education in each country. So...hey! We were completely in Titanic and ready to sink!

After the presentation, the delegates are still in the shadow for this so-called "Declaration" that we must do, after discussing with Mr. Anek, we decided to make an emergency committee that will lead tomorrow participants to draft the declaration.

I decided joined the committee so I could brief Erin the next day. What we did was to brainstorm the issues, mission, strategy and action plan for 4 main topic; environment, drugs, education and culture. From 11pm to 1am....after the meeting I passed out in my room.
