hey hey hey!! it's been such a long time since i've written sth.. hahahha!
Anyway! I jus came back (not too long ago) from the NTU model united nations conference which was held since yesterday. Well! it ended today.. so tt makes a span of two days. hahaha!
Alright, it's quite an eye-opening scene. Looking at the fact that it's a mixture of jc, poly and uni students. A whole lot of different perspectives. There's plenty of discussion abt various issues. yups! For my team, we were in the Historical Security Council. It concerns mainly the 1967 wars taking place in the middle-eastern countries and how we try to resolve it. There's the other council though! the security council which talks abt nuclear proliferation.
jus a bit of background info. there's only 2 pple in a team. With regards to who i'm partnered with...it's a secret. hahahaha! jus joking!! I'm partnering my dear fren, rekha.
The first day's (yesterday) first few hours were disastrous for us. I'm really tired and exhausted because the day before, i had some training at orchard and sorta reached home at 1130 p.m. Then!! there's the research which i did till 1.50 a.m. so i slept seriously late. tt explains the whole thingy as to why i'm so tired. and as for rekha, in the midst of the first few hrs, she's feeling miserable cos she 'switched off' during the discussion. ok..the whole sentence before this was what i heard from her. hahahahahha!
so as i was saying, we're supposedly to pretend we're in 1967 and we have to solve the current crisis. My team represented china though. yups! Since rekha and i decided we're communist, so we'll try (as much as we do) to follow and accompliment USSR's decision. Communism rocks (my socks) *winks
on this note. I'd like to say tt i might have been too quiet and put rekha in a spot because i'm not talkg to the assembly as a whole, but only discussing wif her issues.We can somewhat summarise and say tt she's the speaker and i'm the writer. hahahaha! cos there's oso the background sneaky work which we can do, that is to pass little slips of pp to create alliance wif various countries. hahah! i've been writing those notes. hahahha! Partly, i felt tt i dun wanna raise my voice and shout across to the whole room which is huge. (wat a weird reason!)
ok. there's a point to note though. We, China didnt talk much. I think over the course of 2 days, we only spoke up for 5 times. hahahahaha! oh well, everybody, we have to realise tt China jus experienced a trauma in 1967 times, cos there's the loss of chairman Mao. *sighs.
Awy! It's lyk.. Syria, Egypt, Israel, USSR and USA were the ones who kept harping and trying to resolve issues. with australia trying to chip in a bit at times. hmm...
Territorial rights, ceasefire occurrence, DMZ to be set up so that no more fighting can occur etc. All these were the main topics tt came out. Alright, so China was HISTORICALLY supposed to side wif the USA. However we made clear our stand in the beginning that we want Israel to return all the territorial states that they've conquered back to syria and egypt. IN TURN, we recognise their sovereignty.
NOW! in this whole conference, we have instead sided wif USSR becos they've so happened, came up wif the same stand as us. Many countries were telling us that we've to side wif US becos in HISTORY, we ARE building ties wif them.
HELLO!! it's not an exact re-enactment of wateva that took place in the 1960s. It's an issue as to who has a better stand and what we shd actually try to get to, at the end of the day. US keeps coming up wif points to protect Israel's sovereignty. But they've forgotten that Israel was the first to fight egypt and syria, taking away their lands. oh man! wat a headache this is.
*issue continues wif all the alliance
yups! it ended wif a common resolution drafted by all the countries.
because we've had enough of these stuff k. it's a waste of time if we still let the issue hang in the air. There needs to be some compromise ... lyk 'give and take' tt kinda thing ya noe. hahhaha!
One learning point to take home is that the world needs to learn how to live in harmony. ok.. dun really make sense cos it's too vague. So i shall phrase it again.. haha! maybe i shd say tt 'everyone has different viewpoints and considers their own interests of cos, so in order to come to a consensus, all of those involved would have to compromise.'
sounds better?
hahahah!
