We had this UNGA thing (United Nations General Assembly) this weekend. Our lecture hall had to represent Sabah.... and let me tell you, there's so little about Sabah that I and most of the people who joined knew D;
But we still made it. Given only 1 week and RM200 worth of funds collected from out lecture students, we did the best we can. A few problems came up though, like a few people not agreeing with the other.... ( let me tell you, its pretty darn ANNOYING D; ) People complaining about money and time, and not wanting to be on stage .... gosh, then you shouldn't have joined in the first place if you're not going to be dedicated in it!
Well, there are a few who didn't care about the time and money (such as myself *cofcof*). We slept at around 1 or 2 in the morning everyday throughout last week. Went to the library every night to print, photocopy and find info. Someone even found a girl who actually came from Sabah and had the clothes. She's really a life saver! On the day of the presentation, we had two booths for ourselves. We used one for folk tales and the other for items, interesting places , accessories, food and such. The guys made a replica of the Kadazandusun clothing from the Baju Melayu. Now thats creative!
Although we woke up at 7 in the morning to finish up our booths, and stayed there without breakfast till way after lunch, it was pretty fun. You meet all different kinds of people when handling the booths.
Oh, and together with UNGA, there's also a food fair, lady's carnival-thingi and sports festival. The food.... well, ain't that great. Nothing new... the usual hotdogs, nuggets, burgers showed up. But there were some interesting foods... well, they sounded interesting. I didn't get a chance to try them as I was at the booths. Murtabak Maggi.... wonder how it tastes like. For the ladies there was a batik drawing competition (is this how you say mencanting batik in english?), flower arrangement competition and others that can't seem to come up to mind now.
Later that night was the closing for UNGA. Guess what, of all the 10 states/countries that participated (Sabah, Sarawak, Malacca, Kedah, Terengganu, Johor, Negeri Sembilan, India, China and Japan) Sabah came out the best! Yay, our efforts weren't wasted. Gawd, a friend of mine even criend in tears. Never thought we'd come out first.
Well, this is one memory that I will keep from KMPk xD
