on the 12th until the 15th of March I entered this thing called Borneo Global Issues Conference (BGIC). Little did I know that this BGIC would make me a better yet intuitive person in many ways. To anyone who is reading this post and have the chance to participate, I advise you to JOIN!!
This conference is held by International School Brunei(ISB) every year for the past eight years if not mistaken. Students from all over Asia (east and west M'sia, Thailand, Indonesia, Qatar), Govt. and non govt. schools in Brunei will assemble to discuss about world issue. It is kind of a MUN (model united nations). Every delegate is given a country to represent and WILL speak for the country itself.
During the conference there were so many unforgettable tenacities. There were laughter, anger, fear and lots of mixed feelings in the hall at once.
I was given the country Jamaica. *proud to be*
I was to discuss about the environment as I was in the environment forum. The forum had very extroverted chair persons. There were two actually.
Personally I gained a heap wait scratch that.. MASSIVE amount of experience from public speaking, communicating with others from other parts of the world down to answering questions spontaneously. However, being part of a political conference made me observe how the world of politics role. I usually hear phrases like "politicians are very dirty people" but now I really know what the phrase means. I know how politicians work together and islanise(is that even a word??) other delegated. Even it is just a MUN but the human behavior is still the same. people will be people.
At the end of the conference we celebrated the closing ceremony at the Baze in Empire hotel.
IT WAS A BLAST!! THE SICKEST PARTY EVER!!!!
Also I got to meet a lot of friends from all around Asia. That is one of the best ways to share my experience. If I think of something else, I'll blog more.
