I wanna share with all of you an awesome experience that I had when I attended the first APCYS in Palangkaraya, Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. Honestly, when I first boarded tha Garuda flight to Jakarta, I never expected to enjoy the experience there. I thought it'd be another boring old competition where everybody competes and just go home. Well I was definitely wrong. Let me tell ya'...from the Liaison Officers to the activities even the professors, APCYS was just AWESOME!
One funny detail out of the many hilarious moments I had at APCYS was that I didn't realise that the whole flight to Palangkaraya were participants of APCYS. I felt so dumbfounded when I arrived and saw that all of us were there for the same reason. Nevertheless, we were greeted with warm smiles by Ni Wayan and Adhe :D. They are the most supportive LOs(Liaison Ofiicer) ever. To prove that Adhe even agreed to lend us her laptop since we didn't have one for the presentation. (Thank You SOO much for that - you have no idea how greatful we felt.) BTW, I was accompanied in my mission to win something at APCYS by Nurul Fitriyani or Yanie as I lovingly call her. She was a great partner in crime. Allow me to highlight some of the unforgettable moments that i had.
Firstly, was when I had the chance to have a chat with the delegates from Korea :DDDDDDD Thats's RIGHT! Haha..I even managed to slip out some Korean phrases too. They are the awesome delegates consisting of Eunseol, Yeongseong and Jisun. We talked about a lot of things ranging from K-POP to Korean culture and food. They were quite impressed(Cehh) haha.. I hope we meet again!
My top favourite moment was..the science quiz + City tour. I was in a group named -Men in Black- the awesomest group ever. I never thought we'd be able to cooperate well - because we were from such diverse and diffrerent background plus...we haven't gotten to know each other-but I was definitely wrong. The teamwork was magnificent! We ended up getting 2nd place. My favourite companions during the whole time were Miza, Daniel, and Popla. Daniel was a great listener haha..he listened even when my stories got a lil bit crazy. Thank you as well for sharing me stories from the Aboriginals. Kangaroos, Cockatoos, Wallabies(if i spelt that right), Crows, Mountains and Pythons. I'll definitely spread that story! :D Popla was soo cute!I really miss her and Miza too. It was fun playing translator for a day at the museum.
Lastly, since I don't want to babble on for too long. I'LL FOREVER CHERISH THE FRIENDSHIP I'VE ESTABLISHED WITH SO MANY PEOPLE FROM ALL DIFFERENT PLACES. I've ALWAYS wanted to get into international background and APCYS have allowed me to do so. I definitely came back to Malaysia a Little more WISER and I hope I can attend future APCYS too:D
