ASEAN YOUTH FORUM 2011, Jakarta, Indonesia

Background - is a forum to discuss the Joint Statement to be presented in the ASEAN Summit held annually. 5 delegates from each country and only 2 delegates were selected to meet with the presidents of each ASEAN country. I am so glad and blessed that Ms. Jagdeep award me with this golden opportunity. I wanna pull out at first due to some minor exaggerated reasons that I imagined, cause it didnt happen at all at the end of the day. Thank God I went! haha


The friendship - lively, humorous , full of passion, enthusiastic and energetic bunch of peeps. They just fitted into my wavelength aptly where we joked and immersed ourselves in laughter for five days. People are just so creative in telling jokes and insulting people haha. Also, they are bunch of people who are open enough to share everything regardless of any country they came from.

The Joint Statement - it was a serious discussions where hard feelings were involved. The moderator isn't convincing enough to control the session and many of them question him. It went well after that.

The language - It isn't a barrier at all where at the end of the day we mastered some simple language from every country funny funny words poped out as a universal language like para paraan in tagalog etc haha

Place - It doesn't matter which country are you coming from, places as udnerdeveloped as Vietnam Cambodia etc have smart people too. Those are my bad perceptions before but I realised I was wrong and Malaysia is non better compared to them.

Stereotype-

Mentality - To grow is a decision, not by nature. You can still ebhave like child at the age of 29 but a teenager can be very matured at 18.

Perspective -

Dreams and goals -

People -

Hospitality -

Sincerity -




..To be continued... heheee
