MGS Youth Conference
Saturday, July 07, 2007
On the 6th and 7th of July, RI sent in a team of 6 to participate in a 2 day camp at MGS. It was a camp for young environmentalists to gather together and discuss about environmental issues. The team consists of: Samuel Lim, Carvin Choy, Ashraf bin Yusoff, Superkirk, GuanLin, and finally, myself Meng Siew.
6th of july is a friday, which means i have to chiong there after school. and i get to skip training. worst thing is, i din know wad time it started, and i found out at 2:30 that it would start at 2:30. so i decided to ram a cab, and guess what? the cabbie dosent know where MGS is, and i had to call my mum to find out on the internet and call me back.
not a great way to start.
but anyway, for the first day, it was kinda boring at first, with 2 talks, one on career as a environmental lawyer, and the other on world climate change. afterthat, we were split into groups of 10, and our groups were named after hurricanes, and i was in hurricane nicole (kidman). we were supposed to go back to the classes and use the recyclable materials to make traditional costumes. remember i said there was 10 ppl in my group? there was only one guy. but nvm, later on i found out that the girl-guy ratio was like 15-1, now 9-1 isnt that bad. wait, could it have gotten any worse? so in the room, it was like reverse bukakke.
being the only guy, and there was 6 MGS girls in the group, i was the best target to be the model to do the catwalk.damn. i shall not elaborate any further, go ask the other 5.
Day 2, kinda fun. we were asked to wear either brown or green, and as i expected, we were asked to sit in the shape of a huge tree in the hall. den we played this STUPID SHITASS GAME. let me tell u why. everyone was asked to pair up, and sit down facing each other, in 2 long rows, feet to feet legs straightened out. den it was like a race to see which of the 2 groups can finish running past the whole rows first. theres this girl, at leat 60kg, was running at some imba speed. its like so many friggin legs lah, and guess what, she jumped, flew in the air past 2 sets of legs, thinking that she will be able to get past mine too. but she was wrong. she bloody stepped on my shin. den the whole world came asking me whether im ok. $%@#$%. hehe later found out that she sprained her ankle from that =D
den all the morning activities continued.. like playing the immortal game, scissors paper stone thing.
during lunch, all of us, cept for ashraf sat tgt. he sat alone. we were all wondereing why. and i went to ask. den he was like "wait, just watch. i aiming the jacket one" k, so i went back and see. ma de, later he went to sit with a table with 6 other zabos. we were like cheering him on. den guanlin wanted to borrow my fone to take a pic, so i lent him my fone. den when he was taking, me and samuel shouted "OEI ASHRAF TAKE PICTURE TAKE PICTURE!" and "GUYS SAY CHEESE" respectively. lololol they all looked over and guanlin was uber jag. AHAHHA shud i post that pic? hmm WHY NOT? HAHA
den after lunch, there was this activity where we swapped groups and discuss bout youths these days (kinda discussing bout ourselves and criticising ourselves saying things like we are materialisc. LOL and i was the one who brought that up.) den, finally, we got back into the school group, which means back with the RI ppl.
after that ashraf went to his group again, and guanlin, despite the bad experice, decided to be the photographer again. being nice people, me and samuel helped him by saying thing like "oei why u read my messages?" and "wah look at his girlfriends messages"
pick-up lines from ashraf

Are you an electrician, because you turn me on.
Is your dad a baker? because you have nice buns.(if he had said this to the jacket girl it would have been fun.)
