SIMUN
SIMUN was surprisingly fun, I thought I was going to have a real shitty 3 days (though it was on the verge of being kind of boring). I will update with more pictures, mostly likely the day I actually get facebook (which probably won’t be very soon, still in the midst of verifying email address)
Speaking of facebook, am I the only soul in the universe who still doesn’t have it? This was a common conversation during SIMUN:
Person: Hey add me on facebook, okay?
Me: Uh… I.. don’t have facebook
Person: What?! Really?!
Meh.
Anyway my dad keeps stealing my camera on one of his gazillion vacation trips to China, so these are all the photos I took during the last day (forgot to take more during the first two, and taking photos is quite troublesome to me)
Forgot which country was speaking.
The French School, where lunch always ROCKED by the way. I wish lunch was like that every day! They had yummy fish, beef, Indian food, yummy ECLAIRS from Delifrance, all for free!! Okay food shouldn’t be the focus…
China: We will trade 5 pieces of fresh Cyprus paper for 1 tonne of your low quality fish, how about that huh? O btw, I want paper!
Cyprus: DREAM ON!
This note really made me laugh like crazy.
Our China note paper ran out by the 2nd day, so on the 3rd day, we kept trying to get Cyprus to give us more note paper. So when Cyprus refused, Zhuo En and Kingston drew our own note paper…
I forgot to take a picture of the note above after Zhuo En wrote addressing the USA. The last line was, “P.S: President Hu winks at President Obama.” That made me laugh like crazy too.
And here’s our China placard… Vandalized when bored…
I guess we should have been listening to the resolutions and stuff, but by the 3rd day, it’s just, who cares?
It was fun to hang out with friends and make new ones from other schools and squeal over ridiculously handsome international school students with my friends, but besides that, frankly, I thought the conference was actually.. Pretty useless. I mean, it’s helpful in a sense that us kids get to learn more about global issues so we don’t end up as apolitical bums, but all the fiery discussions and debates really don’t come to any substantial result. The members of the UN are adults who do this for a living, we’re only kids! I thought it was a little pretentious of us to think we could really solve these problems because I’m sure there’s always something or some aspect of the issue that we don’t know about. But I guess it was an enriching experience, which makes me think of something about a delegate of Russia.
The delegate came over to China’s table and asked why we didn’t want to vote for the resolution on piracy. He was listening intently to Zhuo En’s reply, but then suddenly half-way through, he had this strange jolt in his eyes, like a dog suddenly distracted by something else. So all of a sudden he started backing off, and ran back to his seat. We were like, “Uhh.. huh?”
Yep, met some strange people indeed.

Oh man it was 75 bucks? Should’ve gotten more eclairs. Haha.
I hear Justin is still insulting Lizard through Facebook. Cannot squabble face to face then must squabble over the internet… -.- I think he likes her, hahaha.
It wasn’t really free actually, the fee for each person for the conference was 75 bucks according to my hci friend. lol.
And whilst this delegate of Cyprus did write the “DREAM ON.”, she would like to clarify that it was merely a full stop and not an exclamation mark and would like a public apology for such blatant misrepresentation.
Just kidding.
You should see the FB posts and comments flying all over the place now anyway, I think they really miss Simun. Lol. You seriously should get FB dear..
All the best for Lit! I’m off to bed. Heh. Nights you.
