SMUN - SINGAPORE MODEL UNITED NATIONS 2007

5th - 8th June

Eusoff Hall

National University of Singapore

Ok, this is not gonna be all nice and emo like bryan's entry about SMUN, but it will jus flow out. so bear with it.

Initially, howas it to prep for SMUN? awful, i tell you. POSITION PAPER, ms cheng's -slam u right left centre top bottom-. I just was not eager to go for SMUN anymore. it seemed like a chore and none of us were prepared. hello, like when we reached there on the first day, THEN we realised there was something called the opening speech? hahaha by each country. so anyways, we crapped through.

WHO - world health organisation was a small group, not that big. and ok, some pre-proper conference things,

1. Me and Mei both got double rooms each. LOL. the other room was supposed to be party room coz we both didnt dare sleep in it as some kind soul had left a note on the door sayin "I like to sleep with the lights on, thanks". now that can be interpreted in a lot of ways. we took the scariest one to be the safest. but the room was taken away.

2. Found one of the NUS leader dude who , I SWEAR, is a chinese version of Orlando Bloom. a lot of sane people agree with me. orlando bloom as in how he looked like in pirates.

3. Nicole was the hot flavour for me of the day coz she curled my fringe! omg to see those curls after so long was amazing, like oxygen under sea, like a popsicle on a hot summer day, like a toilet seat during a diarrhea attack...

The TP girls, almost, in my room (as usual)/nic workin her magic on my hair. this piece of machinery was a life saver, ok? for ALL.

so the first day was OK. yeah yeah. meetings, talk. we were ALL so blur on what the hell is a caucus and what moderated what unmoderated? what what? huh look? why is that brazil dude passing notes? for what?

oh, the SILVER LINING? i bumped into peiling and deb, seniors from tPJC, at nus during our lunch or something. i dunno. but it was great to meet them. FUN =)

That night was Bryan;s belated bday celebration, after the orientation night. both were rather fun. we crashed Nic's and cher's room. it was TP ppl celebration. goodness, the bitching was great. guess we were too loud.

Bryan and his small bday muffins from 7/11

that night, me and mei let our hearts out and had a hearty talk till late. till lionel's call put us to sleep.

so, Mei and I prepared the speech she would give on day2.

Second day:

BLA BLA i swear no memory of what all was discussed about communicable diseases. i rmb, tranny stuff n HIV/Aids talk between indian n Thailand. and finally understandin the unmoderated/moderated thing.

and, that immensely hilarious, sit on the floow, talk durin an UMC about threading with indonesia.etc. HEARTS <3

We had lunch at subway.

Thailand, Spore, Brazil (he cracked a total huh?indian joke), Nigeria, Spore, UK, USA, UK, Indo.

All right, till now, we were still very -anti social- stick with JC people and all. but social night changed it ALL.

Social night/ theme? purple rain / Mel made us proud!

Nic, me, Mei, Char, Mel - pre social night

so, social night was a buster. pls ah, WE made it fun. ok tell u what was wrong.

1. the venue was a bit weird. not really -can socialise- sorts.

2. they had a weird numbering/seating system which no one followed. but i get their purpose.

3. i cudnt hear what the emcess were sayin.

4. half the people left.

BUT, WHO stayed on. to support dear mel, dan, wang and russia someone.

and social night WAS fun. the guys were super active and did crazy dance moves. and we went mad.

the DJ, our very own Manu, was good given that he was using a laptop.

Us, with someone's hand.

Then after Social night got over, we changed and started working on our Working paper. in the dining hall. we initally decided to do it at the nice, sofa place. but the moderators shooed us away. and omg, the 'lose my transponder' incident occured! i was scared. scared. scared. I would have to pay 50 bucks. so we were thinkin where could I have dropped it. so, it could have been lying around the sofa area where the moderators were sitting. saumya insisted I go and ask, but I was super embarassed. but she said she will go with me.

so it goes something like this:

we go towards the sofa area, me trailing behind her.

S: umm excuse me, we lost a transponder.. i think its here.

OMG, they ALL in a second got up and strtd lookn for it, it was soo scary. like. the importance to my mistake. ohmygod. then hock and manu came to us (since we were under their committee)...

hock: who of you lost it?

S: she she... (points to me)

me: yeah,,.

and then i told them how, where, what.

scary u know.

anyways, it was ok. they told me i can pay back and use mei's keys first. DUH.

oh i found the key in my room, later.ignore.

Late night gang./laughter/impersonation/confusion/wang scandal/"i never" game

Third day:

So the next day, me and mel decided to wear office clothes. thanks to mel, I wore a top and I already had a skirt.

Me and Mel/ my bed/ my room/ her camera / her passport to come inside my room

We intro-ed our working paper.

alliances formed.

fell in love with the belgian delegates, their chocolates theory, their HEARTS, their -rolls eyes-

Belgium would like to call for an UMC of 30 secs to roll eyes/yawn.

OH MAN THAILAND AND THE REST OF ALLIANCE 1.1 HEARTS THE CHOCOLATE BOYS.

so that night, we got workin on our draft resolutions. initially we had loads supporting us but I must applaud the HAPPENINGS for pulling some towards them till it conviniently became 12-12. OOOH EXCITING.

so we were up all night doin the resolution... saffie, u r sucha darling.! loved workin with ya, listenin to songs, exciting over knowing joti! LOL.

Some who were left till the almost end. some not here. but were there till the end.

THEN, we went to eat the very much awaited prata!!! haha, we walked out of NUS and ate at NIQQI's.!

retarded fun. we all didnt wanna go in coz the ppl inside looked scary. it was like 4 am??

bitchin was bliss.

The Prata Bitchin Alliance/ who love this pose. we jus want peace.

4th and final day:

got like 1 hour of sleep. my throat was in shambles. could not speak for more than a minute w/o going into a cough fit.

while waitin for the bus, we did what we do best. BITCH and take pics, ofcourse.

some group pics.

WHO, SMUN07 - with Hock. PEACE

The Asian Bloc with Hock - sawadika/namaste

from there we went to the central lib to finish up on draft resolution. some more pics with our bloc. alliance 1.1

The Diva Pose

F*ck you - the need for the * to be diplomatic

Candid - saumya, nic n me look like a VERY BAD version of charlie's angels

Then we left for the final shot to pass the resolution. alot of cock talk and stuff. a lot or arguing. and the last unmoderated caucus was HILARIOUS. manu was being saddistic and wanted to jus see each other shouting at each other.. which is exactly what he got. he took pics... which when I get it.. i will post it. but me n george posed for it. so its ok. LOL.

Oh yeah, during the moderatd causus, I did the grave mistake of sayin the word 'ORGY!' oh dear, heard the moderators cringed... brrr.. anywys the link was... orgy = pleasurable = good = multilateral agreements.
