AYC, Day 5

31st July 2010


Another day started on our AYC journey. There was a slight delay to our wake-up time (everyone went back to sleep!). And I was just not in a proper mood this morning. I looked back on the previous night. I reminded myself why I was here, what I wanted to acheive. And that was enough to get me out of bed.

But one really strange thing about this morning was the severely cold temperature. I knew the hotel's air-conditioning was very cold, but what I felt this morning was something unexpected.
I took a shower, and it seemed the heater hadn't kicked in yet. I fought through the cold, but I was shivering, so hard that I couldn't move out of the shower. 

Even after I had gone downstairs to YMCA's dining hall, my hands felt terribly cold. Even when I wore Gori's insulated ski-jacket over my black cotton one, my arms felt warmer but my hands were freezing. There was one point where they went really numb, and I was afraid something was wrong. 

Luckily, when I got outside, my being 'hot-blooded' trait kicked in and I gradually thawed out.
We rode the bus over to the SMa institute-place-thingy. All of the delegates got together in a lecture room. Then well, the lecture started. Then first lecture was from Wilson Ang, the founder of the Environmental Challenge Organization.

Feeling sleepy, as usual, I tried to focus on what was being presentated. This lecture was about Economics and Environment, the connections between change in the environtment and the rise and fall of economics. Though I had a hard time finding the connections and info regarding ASEAN's economy, I got it, mostly, in the end.

We had a discussion about what life would be like in 2050 (yeah, like the writing club thing) and did like little, impromptu and funny skits about them.

We had lunch, which was practically the same chicken thingy I've been eating for the past few days. -___-


Then we played our new favorite game: THE WORLD TRADE GAME. Basically we were given papers, pencils, rulers and stuff, and we had to cut out shapes from the paper to trade/sell. It was a lot of fun, negotiating with the other groups and stuff, and finding out that THE WORLD TRADE BANK WAS CORRUPT! Nyahaha. Kidding aside it was super fun, and my group, J3 playing as Singapore came in 3rd Place.

This was followed by another leture by me Lee Yoong Yoong on ASEAN economics. Then had a World Café Style discussion, in which we had to play a role in a certain scenario, then discuss our consessus on what decision to make in an informal debate.

We had great discussion since it was really intriguing though a bit irrelevant. The country-based session that followed went well, if not a bit bumpy.

The night program for tonight, was shopping at Bugis. I was going a bit over budget on my shopping money, and even had to borrow some money. Thanks Evan!

Now, I can die happier now, because I bought a new pair of green sneakers. Haha!

Conflicts of the Heart

I feel really scared right now as I write this post. I feel depressed but also excited. I know it's contradictory, but it's the kind of feeling that leaves you guessing. Leaves you wondering. Leaves you worrying.

I usually don't get all emotional, especially in front of others. Maybe I shed a tear or two, during a retreat/recollection but rarely to the point were the whole dam breaks, leaving behind a giant wad of wet and used tissue.

This happened last night and the decision to seperate this from the AYC post was to give this news its own spotlight because it seemed to change a lot.

Once we got home after the whole day of AYC work and shopping, we headed back to the hotel and immediately convened in room 426.

I could feel the tension rise in the room, as the Laurensia kids walked in. We recently got some bad news. Mrs Anton, a biology teacher at Santa Laurensia was recently admitted into the hospital due to liver problems.

We prayed for her, as we held our Rosary necklaces, sharing our hopes, our experiences with her and also our regrets. Personally, I don't know Mrs Anton all that well. She teaches biology for the 8th grade, except for my class 8A who was being taught by Ms Ira. 

But I've always heard such great things about her. Even though some said she was strict and stern, she was a teacher who cared about her students very deeply. The stories of inspiration I heard spoken that night, really touched my heart. I cried, not because I felt obligated to, but because I wanted to.

I've always been aspiring to be a teacher. That was also a factor that helped the tears flow. I want to be a great teacher. I want to inspire my students, the same way Mrs Anton has evidently inspired hers.

I pray for Mrs Anton's recovery, and that she may return to her noble job as a teacher back at Santa Laurensia.

We all wiped our tears, and took in deep breathes. It was time to lift the mood a little. Yudhi started off with a very important announcement. If I was right (which I always was) it was one that I was looking forward to all day.

It was the email, containing the positions of the YDLs for the convention. The results, honestly, were not exactly what I wanted, but at the time, after the all the crying and praying and closure, I got over it quickly. I realized that it was okay. I was still a part of something great. I could still make a difference. I could still change the world.

Eh... That was a bit melodramatic. Yudhi must be rubbing off on me :P.

So, huge CONGRATULATIONS to the Head Chairperson: Yudhi Andersen Bunjamin; Alternative Chairs 1 & 2: Jeffry Wicaksana and Zoya Marie Adiyasa; Secretary: Patricia Kay; Group Leader A: Kari Novelia (that's me!); with Assistant: Evan Goldwin;  and Group Leader B: Gregorius Erico; with Garry Reuben.

Huge smiles and thumbs up all around. Best of luck to all!

We also celebrated Mr Yudi's birthday, just a few pictures that I hope will become memories. So HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY MR YUDI!

Feeling emo and restless, I stayed up late enough to finish the last blogpost. When I went sleep, I was still thinking. But when I woke up today, I felt confident.

Thanks for reading.

AYC, Day 4


30th July 2010


I was supposed to wake up early today. And as always, I didn't. 



But apparently, that didn't matter because neither did some other people. So after our morning preparations, all twenty of the Indonesia delegates and the other foreigners, climbed onto the AYC bus.

We headed to the Cedar Girls' Secondary School. Today was the day AYC would officially start. Today was the day for the opening ceremony.

Getting prepared for the ceremony, we sat in the plush auditorium (that's what they really call it!). The MCs for the occassion was a girl, who apparently never introduced herself and Uly (I'm a fan! I was practically jumping up and down in my seat everytime he came on stage) the public speaking trainer, who was sporting a sharp black tux. 



Speaking of looking sharp, our own Santa Laurensia uniforms were a bit modified. Instead of wearing those short green plaid pants, the boys were wearing long black pants. The look for everyone was also topped of with a nice black tie. 

Once I looked in the mirror, I could really see the difference. The elevated sense of style, the formality and maturity of the uniform. I wondered if the school would ever regulate this as the new school uniform. But it wasn't only the new look that startled me, but it was the person wearing it. It was me.

I couldn't exactly put my finger on it, but I looked different. Something about me had changed in the short span of 3 days. I felt different. I don't even remember when was the last time I saw that sparkle in my eyes that was shining brightly in the mirror that morning.

But if I had changed, would things stay this way once this was over? Would things really change? And for better or for worse?

The ceremony started with welcome adressed from Eileen Ng, the AYC chairperson; Mr Anselm Chu, the GYCi founder; and Mr Ong Keng Yong, the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Then to commerate the start of the convention, us YDLs stood up and walked up to the front of the auditorium holding the flags of all 13 countries that make up the ASEAN+3.

This was followed by a Keynote Address by Mr Ong Keng Yong, who discussed more about ASEAN's development and issues. For us YDLs the presentation was, for the most part, similar to the presentation we received in the office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs building.

I was a bit sleepy, and most of the delegates fell asleep at some point (Even me! :P). But I learned more about the ASEAN Charter, the changes the Charter has brought and about ASEAN connectivity.

That presentation took up most of the morning, and was followed by a panel discussion with Mr Ong and Mr someone-who's-name-I'd-forgotten who was the Genderal Director of whatever-it-is.



After the discussion was closed and concluded, we had lunch in Cedar's cafeteria. Chicken, spring rolls, and noodles became a nice mix. But what happened or at least spun around in my thoughts, sort of set my mood off.

Well, I never tell personal stuff on this invisible blog, so I guess I'll leave you wondering. 

Let's skip to what happened after lunch. After changing into our sports clothes to be used later, everyone reassembled back into the auditorium. Now it was time for country presentations.

If you read my last post, you would know that we had very little time to prepare a presentation on the topic, "Can Asians Think?". I was the speaker and I was going in unarmed and improptu.

Luckily, they gave us 10 or so more minutes for us to prepare. I was going on stage with a guy named Adrian who was a delegate from Bandung. We sort of made a riot, cheering, "Indonesia" to drown out the sound of the numerous Singaporeans.

Dun dun dun (... hah?). Time was up, and Indonesia was going first. Hearing that made me think, "Yudhi is very bad at persuasion." and "WTF, I am so screwed!"

-___-

On the verge of freaking out, Yudhi said, "Maybe this means they think Indonesia is the most prepared." I could only hope that that was the case. Everyone else was very supportive, and wished me good luck before I went on stage. I felt a whole lot more confident as I climbed up the steps and on-stage.

Everyone clapped (a bit too vigorously for my ears) and though I laughed, the quickest response my brain comes up with to cope with nervousness, I finally dispelled all of my fear.

After a quick introduction of ourselves, me and Adrian said spontaneously, "And we are representing..."

"Indonesia!" went the upper left corner of the auditorium seats, filled with Indonesian delegates.

The crowd went wild again, and I started the presentation. I fumbled a bit in a few parts of the speech *sigh*. I finally trudged through the mess of words spilling out of my mouth, and though everyone said that I did a decent job, I emotistically kept critisizing myself.

I shouldn't have kept on mixing up saying, "Indonesia" and "Indonesian".

I shouldn't have been standing only on spot on the stage.

I shouldn't have made that long pause at the end of the speech. Then laughed as I hurriedly put it to a close.

Well, after the other presentations ended (they made mine look like an Epic Fail) we got into our personal groups to get to know each other with ice-breaking games. I was in the same group as Jeffry (si anak baik). And again it was a "wet day" all over again. Haha.

That was it for our day activities, and we changed into our "galavanting clothes" (as Yudhi kept on calling them) we started our night program, which for today was shopping at Suntec City.

We split up into a few groups and decided on a place to eat at. Then we had some free time to walk around at shop. I ended up hanging out with Evan, Edwin and Kenny. We went window-shopping, mostly comparing prices at electronics stores and Toys-R-Us. But their was one find from this shopping trip.



A Woody (not Woodpecker, but from Toy Story) doll.

Well, not the real, cloth rag-doll one. It had a weird stitched on face, and no beady, glassy eyes. But since it's hard to find any kind of Woody doll on the first place, it was worth buying.

I showed the doll to everyone. Well, the girls noticed and asked to see what it was. The boys looked at me like I was crazy, laughing while I shook the doll in their faces. 

Evan kept on asking to hold the doll. He said and I quote, "Lucu jg ya bonekanya, buat gw dong Kar."

Nyahaha. Yudhi: "Hey, a Woody doll. You wrote about that doll almost every time on your blog."

Suffice to say, I can die happy now. Singapore has given me a lot to be thankful about. A wonderul experience so far, 4 novels from Kinokuniya (Artemis Fowl 7, Hero.com book 3, Infinity and Peterpan and the Starcatchers), and a Woody Doll.

Let's hope there's more to come.

AYC, Day 3


29th July 2010

This morning, I woke up, suprisingly wide awake. After sleeping a bit late, and going through the guilt (luckily, I've been sincerly forgiven), I was determined to prove myself to day, at least enough to make up for my mistake.

The morning was met with a funny incident. Room 314, Erico and Son (Vietnamese YDL), simply would not wake up. Morning calls, extra phone calls, ringing the bell and even excessive knocking, were turned into futile attempts.

We had a delightful breakfast, scrambled eggs, sausages and some kind of cake. It filled up my fueltank, and we waited in the lobby to get ready. We waited for a long time. When the van came really late from the appointed time.

I was a bit sleepy, though I tried to keep my eyes wide open. So when Yudhi said to me, "I think you're going to really like today," my brain lagged in giving a response. I then realized I had forgotten what we were supposed to do this morning.

So when we pulled up in front of the building of Singapore's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I practically stopped breathing for a few seconds.

Wearing our school uniform as this was a formal event. Mr Ong Keng Yong, was the current Minister of Foreign Affairs and the former Secretariat Genderal for ASEAN.

We had a seminar/lecture about ASEAN from the history to the cuurent problems and the solutions by using the ASEAN way. It was a bit boring, and since I was sleepy I wasn't completely focused. But seeing the discussion between the other delegates and Mr Ong gave me new insight and knowledge.

Mr Ong bought us McDonalds burger and coke and pizza-that-smelled-like-takoyaki. He was very kind to us and friendly as well. After that, we came back into the building's press room and "graduated". We were given a certificate by Mr Ong and Mr Chu that was proof that we had competed our YDL Training Camp.

After that we went back to SMa, which is like an institute, to have another lecture. This time it was being presented by Mr Chu, who is the founder of the GYCi, and it was entitled, "The Essence of Leadership."


It was a really great lecture. Mr Chu brought humour to the presentation while still giving the necessary lessons we could utilize.

After that, we had a 30 minute break which was followed by another presentation.

This one was about how to be a facilitator, how to facilitate a group discussion, sort of direct it. The speaker was a good friend of Mr Chu. His name was Augustine Ashtuvan, and he is a senior journalist, who is currently working on Channel News Asia. He was a really great guy, bringing more humour, and stories about his many experiences travelling around the ASEAN countries as part of his job.

After that we went back to the hotel for a quick brief about tomorrow's schedule. But unfortunately, the other delegates form Indonesia had a bit of a delay.

At around 8.30 PM, their vans arrived. What happened next was sort of a blur. Everyone was hugging and saying hello and and high-fiveing so much, that we were causing a bit of a riot.

We were rebriefed, announcing the details to the other delegates. We were also given a bit of morbid news, which really set my mood down. But it only motivated me to start giving my best even more.

So I decided to start by posting a blogpost early tonight. Sasha suggested that we, the Writing Club members, meet up to do our blogs together.



But when I ran into the other delegates, most of them wanted to go around Orchard Road, I was stunned. I suggested that they not go tonight and to rest up. They listened to reason, and decided not to go.


We ended up all gathering (read: nge-rumpi) in room 246, the room where Toby, Edwin and Kenny were setting up camp for the entire convention.

We were joking around, talking, but we were still able to keep the noise to a minimum. I was chatting with my best friend and little sister for a while but when I started getting serious on my blogpost, the batteries on my laptop was about to run out. I ran to Gori's room next door to get the charger and mouse but realized the original 2-pronged adaptor was gone.

Apparently Gori left in in his old room, in room 314 so I ran back to Cathy and Clara's current room to grab the adaptor and ran into Yudhi. He was working on a presentation for tomorrow on the topic, "Can ASEANs think?" and asked for my assistance.

Once I arranged my things, I went back to his room. When he prompted me for my opinion, my mind was already beggining to shut down. It was late and I was very tired.

But luckily, I had enough brain-juice to come up with one last idea: with everyone already gathered up back upstairs, why don't we discuss the issue with them?

So we moved our base of operations back to room 426, and calmed everyone down. We had a great discussion, in my opinion. I sort of became the facilitator, implementing the lessons we learned today, and the opinions that came out really gave me some food for thought.

I volunteered to be the speakear and honestly, at such short notice, I'm helluva lot scared. Let's just hope that this improptu presentation will work out nicely.

AYC, Day 2


28th July 2010, Wednesday

As the second day here in Singapore starts for me and my fellow YDLs, there's only one thought in my mind. Today is Picture Day. Even though I realized I was in Singapore, Picture Day was important for me like it was every year. It was rock solid evidence that I was a member of the 8A family. But this year, I would miss it. And I know very well, that memories cannot be replaced. I woke up still feeling very sleepy, as always, and I was reaching out to the other side to poke my sister to wake up. It wasn't until I fell off my hotel bed did I realize where I was.

I climbed back into bed, my eyes not even open yet. To me, that meant my mind was still asleep. Then the doorbell rang. Since my roommate, Kay, was still in the bathroom, I had no choice but to open the door.

Feeling very cold but awake, I opened the door and saw Yudhi standing behind it. Looking ridiculous in my pajamas, with squinty, half-open eyes and bedhead, we exchanged hellos.

Evan who was standing beside him, saw me and laughed.

I was given the Academic Guide for the material that would be covered during the convention which was 74 pages long, the size of A4 paper and reeeeeeally small text.

As soon as I had taken a bath and changed, I put on a red USS jacket I had bought the other wet day, and went downstairs to have breakfast with Kay, Zoya and Erico.

Around 12.30, the vans came over to pick us up and take us to the place the YDL training would be held. The building was called Spring Singapore.

We were given an extra 8 dollars for lunch and dinner, and we went to the cafeteria to have lunch. When that was over, we went up to the seventh floor which was filled with lecture rooms.

With met up with some of the organizing team of AYC for this year. There was Eileen who was the Chairperson, and Stephanie who was the Alternate Chairperson.

A guy in a light green shirt (my fav color, which I took as good luck) took over to start the session. His name was Uly, and I have to say I've never seen anyone speak like he does. He's humourous, energetic, quick with the punch lines and changes his underwear a lot (I'll explain it in a bit).

So you've probably guessed by now, today's lesson was Public Speaking. He showed us a few of the basics, like how to organize the content of an improptu speech, how to use the stage, gestures and expressions, and the Underwear Theory.

Confused? Haha, well so am I.

So basically the theory is about how your position affects the range of voice over the audience. In Uly's expressive drawing, the range of your speaking voice will spread out to form a triangle. Add a few adjustments and you have an piece of upside down Underwear. So when you change position (and volume!) you change your Underwear.

We were split into two groups, Group A and Group B. We all had to come up and tell a 1-2 min. speech/story about "My Most Embarassing Moment".

...

Okaaaaaay. I can see this going smoothly.

The session was a bit sped up since we were a bit behind schedule. Uly only gave us 30 seconds to think about a few stories we could tell about. With my eyes still open, but my mind was flying elsewhere, I thought about it. Suprisingly, I had a lot of embarassing moments and I had no idea which one to choose.

When my turn came, it turned out really well, even though I was hassled. Or in a term you kids at Loren can understand, diejek setengah mati. -__-

Hahaha... Well, I won't tell the story here. My motto is: What happens in Singapore, stays in Singapore. Well, to be honest, that wasn't the most embarassing moment of my life. It was just one of the most spread and hyped-up. There were worse times, and they used to happen daily.

It was just playful fun, so no harm done.

After that session we had a recap of what AYC is about and how to coordinate projects or ASEAN Youth Club that would happen after the convention. So the delegates made groups from their respective countries and discussed the possible issues and solutions and implement them in Indonesia.

We Indonesian Delegates, have already thought ahead on this before the convention even started and then we suddenly realized this: all of our ideas can be connected.

For those of you curious, here's how it goes.

One of our ideas was to collect coins from the people of Indonesians, who usually don't think much of the value of silver 100/200 Rupiah coins. With so many people in Indonesia giving coins, in the end we could end up with a lot of money.

And this money can be used to fund other projects. In awareness for the lack of Cultural Exchange, we can use the money to hold Indonesian Cultural concerts and exhibitions that would in turn make a profit and increase other people's knowledge on Indonesian culture.

Using the coin fund and the concert profit, we can plant and buy Sansivieria plants, which can absorb more carbon dioxide and hence decrease Global Warming. This project would need a lot of manpower, thus we could give jobs to unemployed people and increase their over-all welfare.

For the people we employ who have children, their education is something we also plan to help with. The funds we have can be used for educational reform and operational support. We can give out more scholarships and school supplies.

Funds-->Culture-->Environment-->Education. Simple yet effective, no?

Then the other countries shared their thoughts and we discussed about the problems their respective countries. The Singaporeans talked about Youth Empathy and their idea of increasing the awareness. And the Vietnamese expressed difficulty for youths to be personally involved in changing their countries, but plan to possibly start with reforming the educational system.

We wrapped up our training for today at around six and at had dinner together at Chinatown.

We had a lot of free time that night, so some us decided to take advantage of it by walking around Orchard Road. Suffice to say, I was satisfied to grab some awesome buys at Kinokuniya, even though going back to the hotel took some time. (Read: sempet nyasar).

Tired yet happy, today was a great day. I look forward to what's waiting for us in Singapore.

AYC, Day 1


Hello and welcome to the Knight of Pen and Paper blog. Feel free to look around the stories I've posted up. Comments and criticism are very welcome. Hopefully, you reader, can get the blog's fan number (only got 2 so far) up.

Today is July 27th 2010, and for me and seven of my friends, it was the start of a journey. If you go to SMP Santa Laurensia, you probably have heard of the ASEAN Youth Convention. Eight students from Santa Laurensia have been chosen as Youth Delegate Leaders (YDLs) and have to come to Singapore early to join a Leadership Camp.

For those of you who're curious the YDLs are Me and Garry (from the 8th Grade) and ninth graders which include Erico, Evan, Jeffrey, Zoya, Kay and Yudhi. The YDLs have to arrive a few days early for a training. The other delegates from Indonesia will arrive on the 29th.

We all met up at the airport, and took a Garuda airplane to Changi Airport. Soon we arrived at the YMCA on Stevens Road. And unbeknowing to us, this first day for us will be completely filled with free-time.

So now, the problem was what were we going to do?

After much discussion, we decided to go to sight-seeing about Singapore. And apparently for my own sake, I shouldn't divulge any more details ;). Let's just say, we got a bit wet.

When nighttime arrived, we took the Sentosa express to the Beach Station to ride the Luge, which is a kind of go-kart track that goes downhill. The slightly scary part was having to use the SkyRide to take all the way up to the top of the trail. With had a nice guy named Boon to accompany us all day.

We met up with a few Chinese delegates and had dinner together at Food Republic over at Vivo City. At this point it was pretty late over here in Singapore, and we were a bit tired though happy about having a fun-filled day.

I'm writing this blogpost to you pretty late, because I know there are people who enjoy my writing. (The timestamp is using Jakarta time, so you do the math). I would like to say "Thank You" to a certain teacher's compliments on my writing, and also a very big one to YUDHI ANDERSEN BUNJAMIN, the "future leader" for everything he's done to help us here at AYC. I really appreciate it.

I hope everyone, YDLs who have a long day tomorrow, and to the Indonesian Delegates who will be joining us on Thursday, will have a great time here at AYC, and do great things.

Thanks for taking the time to read my blog. Stay tuned for some more, Live AYC Blog Updates.
