I went into NUS for SMUN07 expecting to be stuck in 4 days of endless boring debates. Boy, I couldn't have been more wrong.
Given:
-our rooms were little cubes
-there was no air-con
-it was common toilets
-we had to walk pretty damn far to get to our rooms
-we had to travel to get to our conference rooms
-the food tasted like it was cooked by sec 1s
-the moderators knew next to nuts about what they were doing
-I did next to no research
-4 days of court shoes almost killed me
-there was hardly enough time to come out with a working paper let alone a resolution
-the rush for time meant that our resolution wasn't as detailed as we would have liked it to be
-our debates were 'paced' so that we didn't rush through and spent too much time on the resolution (which led to the above point)
But at the end of the day, it was a good experience.
The first day was really shitty. I could have cried from boredness.
But things picked up as the days went on.
The debates become more engaging, people opened up more and company became more exciting.
The rafflesians (aka bishan jc :p) didn't disappoint. Kaleni and Kartik were prepared to the max!
Bern was another pro that took my breath away from the first time she took the floor.
Second night was a fun night out.
Third night was a not so fun night out followed by a fun night in.
And tonight will be a night in mugging.
CTs in 2 weeks time. So screwed!
you know you love me
you've messed up my ind!!! ahhh!!!
