Last day of the supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Youth Leaders' Summit : (

If you are wondering, this is the card with the $1 dollar coin.



My name tag, don't ask about the correction tape! Don't ask me why is the picture repeating itself.



Hi guys, EXCEPT FOR YOU! NO HELLOS FOR YOU! No intro this time. (The pic on top is my Summit file.)


Got to school at around 6:45am, the buses were not as crowded as usual... Well, we did not get into the school, the gate was locked. So the group (all were present.) plus a few other sportsmen who were not with us, got onto a much bigger bus with Mr Su, the journey was like usual, around 30 minutes was needed, the Sportsmen were brought to Innova JC, while we got to Christ Church, Woodlands IS super 'ulu'.


We had our all expenses paid Breakfast (Well, not so, I had to pay $22.), Fried Mee tai mak and Soon Kueh (Vegetable dumplings I think.). All was well until I told Shaiful (Or more correctly, as I found out later, is Rezza.) that another name for the noodles is "Rat's tail", he gave me his remaining breakfast, I reluctantly ate it all up.


Then we had some emcee time with Ethan, our beloved 'Handsome'. Before having the Guest of Honour, Mr Teo Ser Luck, Senior Parlimentary secretary in the Ministry of blah blah blah blah bling bling blah. Got as few speeches before a forum (Q&A sesson in layman's terms.) I asked a question and no, I will not tell you what I asked. After that, (I almost fell asleep, well....not that bad lah.) We had lunch (All expenses paid, 15 ppl at each table, but must be of different schools.), but before that, we had to toss some Yu Sheng. The lunch was quite.....nice, with fried chicken and the like. All the tables were quite messy, especially after the Yu Sheng, we all had to clean up, although, only a few of us, I was the only guy, bothered to clean the VIP table, where representatives from each school and the Grown-ups (I am not sure what to address them as....don't kill me, please...)


After lunch, we were separated into two, one is the executive track (For prefects or 'counsellors', no offence guys.) and the Champion/Generalist track (For CCA leaders, counsellors & sports leaders.) Mine is the *** track (figure it out for yourself). In our training room, we had our 1st session with a War game, I forgot how it is played but all I know is that (Oh shit, I forgot, three people, Adli, Junson and Tamelia were in the exec track so they were separated from us.) my group (containing all the Bedok Viewans) had an alliance with another group, we won, okay fine! We did not win, but the other team, okay? At least we got some of the prizes. (Well, practically everyone in the room got the prizes, there were A LOT!)


After that, we had another session about different leaders having different managing skills, and we had to do some silly thing that tested our leadership skills without any hints, I took on an unofficial leadership role (everyone there was more enthusiastic than usual, so it was less restrained.) in leading the jumping jacks, one of the activites, then, when we had to do 10 jumping jacks while saying only the even numbers, a few more chipped in, Nigel, Jia Hao and Priscilla (From different schools). We soon did it sucessfully and We got ourselves a pen each, (Which I destroyed 'by accident'.)We had a tea-break before joining up with the exec guys(Who outnumbered us like shit.) at the hall.


After that, we had a couple more talks, the 1st one was by the chairman of the NKF, NOT DURAI! He then gave each of us a card with a $! coin on it, we were supposed to give it to someone who needs it (Like ur's truly, if you believe me YOU SUCK!). I do hope to get my CCA involved in this.


After two days and probably a few email addresses later, the summit was over, it was kinda sad, but, all good things must come to an end, whoever made that up, I must find him and perform a bloody lynching! Never mind about that, we walked to the nearest bus stop (Which was NOT NEAR AT ALL!), took a bus to Woodlands interchange before taking the MRT home, which took an aching 1 and a 1/2 hours to reach. After a HORRIBLE takeaway dinner, I turned on the PC and here I am, I hope.

PS: I am not sure why but during the tea break, as I asked for Priscilla's email, Junson actually thought I was wooing her, wah lau, impossible, and he was trying to get her number, I was freaking embarrassed in front of her and her friend, (The two were the only Nanyang girls' school delegates.) and crap, I forgot to tell her my name...
