RANDOM FACTS

well, i am 17 years old, aren't i?

ONE Nicole is random, like this section. TWO Even though she's been skinny half her life, she's currently getting fat, due to lack of exercise and her love of cheeeese!! THREE She's totally an Italian food person but loves some Western, Chinese zhi char, XIao Long Bao, American fast food and MIS dishes =)) FOUR Nicole likes music, really. She was so crazy over music she joined the Music Elective Programme which while was torturous, she gained something out of it. FIVE Right now, Nicole is listening to KPop (BigBang and 2NE1) while still going on about boybands, Hilary Duff and random Disney people, and obviously The Jonas Brothers. SIX Nicole is secretly pro-everything, I'm pro human rights, pro gay rights, pro cheese on hotdogs, pro we-shouldn't-have-exams-because-it-kills-trees, yup. Pro everything and pro AT everything. =D SEVEN Nicole loves her cheem sounding CCA - International and Strategic Affairs Council or ISAC for short. EIGHT But Community Service Club will always hold a special place in her heart, the volunteering spirit will always burn within Nicole!! NINE Nicole loves several teachers, namely, Mrs Koh, Ms Tan, Chen Lao Shi, Mrs Martha Tan, Ms Cheng, Mrs Chu, Mrs Susan Tan, Mrs E-von Lee, Mr Leong, Mdm Nora, Mrs Bok, Ms Ng (both), Ms Teo, Ms Aw and Mr Tiew. TEN And Nicole takes these people as her role models: Obama, Ellen Degeneres, MM Lee Kuan Yew, SM Goh Chok Tong, PM Lee Hsien Loong, Ho Ching, Elim Chew, Mr Sng, Mr Low, Mr Ng, Ms Aw, Mrs Bok, Annabel Koh, Chan Li Wen, Tan Bao Jia, Alicia Ho and Sylvia Lim. ELEVEN Nicole eats. A LOT. Ask anyone who knows her, they'll tell you how much. TWELVE Nicole sometimes wishes for nonsensical stuff like that she was a guy, or world peace, or for people to just stop hating really. THIRTEEN This is an unlucky number, so I'm not gonna put anything here! FOURTEEN Nicole has a great sense of humour and cannot stand people who don't laugh. FIFTEEN Nicole has a sense of adventure and would love to travel all over the world someday, unfortunately due to her cold phobia, she'll have to strike half the world of her list. SIXTEEN Nicole is actually still 16, but decides that since her birthday is coming soon on the 18th of December, she will fake that she's 17. SEVENTEEN
Nicole does not understand why everyone wants to remain at 17 because she desperately wants to drive and buy her dream car (Ferrari Aurea Spyder), thus she would rather remain 21 forever.

ASEAN Summit Day 2

5:00 PM - Tuesday, July 7, 2009

How should I do this? Blog in chronological order? Or just do whatever comes to mind first? Well, you know what, either way, ASEAN is the obvious choice. Alright, so let's pick up where I left off. In other words, I should be doing ASEAN Summit Day 2... Here goes!!

Day 2 ----> I woke up late!! Must have been too tired the day before, so I couldn't make it to the hostel on time in anycase. Mom sent me in the end and I reached school JUST on time. =P

Day 2 was much much better in terms of committee sessions, everyone had properly warmed up and they had worked really really hard (until 2am I heard) on the OT Resolution Paper.. They spammed the forum, kudos to Janice, Matt and Michelle for getting the ball rolling! Amanda thanks for being the middleman/middlewoman, passing the message between the chairs and the delegates! I know it was irritating sometimes but haha, who asked you to be in my council? (Oh wait, I did.. =D ) So the resolution paper was still unpolished and the 2nd day of committee sessions was all about refining and making it into a paper worth debating at the plenary sessions. Still, I enjoyed the 2nd day much more because everyone was more active, everyone talked and there was a lot more going on.

Oh and haha, the ASEAN Times came out!! Super interesting and I think the delegates enjoyed reading about it, I remember there was an exclusive interview with Nabil on his country's view of OT.. =D Great job by Yuxin, Candice and Stephanie!! =)) This day was a bit more slack, there was plenty of time to hang with the delegates and talk to them, cos there was lunch first before the Crisis session.

Hahaha, there was a lot of admin related stuff to do though! We had to collect the press reports and bring the resolution paper to the admin room for printing and all. I remember there was some insane scrambling to look for Steffi's thumbdrive cap or something like that hahahaha.. In anycase, only the chairs were needed at the Crisis session, I was supposedly on duty to pass notes around but there were more than enough people there, so I ended up being back at the admin room, erm, Slacking? =P

Well, not entirely slacking, I just kicked off my incredibly uncomfortable court shoes, and helped with the editing of the resolution papers =D Formatting and spell check and the like, it was fun seeing Ms Aw tear her hair out in frustration over the bad phrasing in what I think is the Science and Tech council's paper. And I was the friendly chocolate crazy person, I felt like the Easter Bunny! =D IN a good way that is. I happily skipped to the canteen and bought Kit Kat, and when I came back, everyone wanted, hahaha, lols. So I went again, and bought again. And I came back and they STILL wanted more. So I went again. I must have the singular biggest buyer of Kit Kat and water that day. Uncle must love me by now. =D I think I bought like 13 Kit Kats? Gosh, come to think of it, thats a lot. o.O

Ok, so after that, I forgot why but someone started playing Bejewelled Blitz on Facebook and soon everyone grabbed a com and started playing also! Grrr at Denise for taking top spot.. LOL. In the end, by the time Crisis finally ended and Rebecca, Junwei, Sam and all the chairs were coming back to the Admin Room for debrief, I was so bored I was playing UNO on facebook, which in case you didn't know is incredibly slow and its a live game.

Debrief was ok, not so much of a bitch fest really cos we were all super super tired. It was exhausting. Although it didn't seem like much to do, I mean, simply deciding Best Delegate and Best Delegation was torturous. We argued for so long whether it was to be Russia or France! When I say forever, I literally mean forever. We were worried whether the delegates would see us as being biased if we awarded the prize to France, some councils France did better and some councils France did worse. The problem was the the judging criteria for the award was Committee Sessions - 50% and Crisis Session - 50%. Russia and France were evenly matched! Oh boy, in the end we gave up and decided to make it a tie. Gosh, I don't even want to go into details of what happened AFTER that. It was insane, just to give you a hint, it had to do with the actual prizes. LOLS.

Anyway, that was the end of Day 2, and I'd never looked forward to my bed that badly. hahaha..

Day 3 coming up!!

P.S. I'm gonna do a photos only post soon!
