The HNMUN conference Dhillah and I with Raphael. I kept forgetting his name actually. We became good friends after the conference and hang out together in NYC. Hes such a sweetheart. A real gentelman who paid for most of our stuffs and even walked us back home in NYC.

With an adorable cute kid from Yale Uni. He wasnt actually from our comm but we kept bumping into him at the lobby. We became friends after that. Witty guy.

This guy is from LA and hes a muslim. Weird. He dont behave like one at all. Haha...

Darn! It was supposed to be just the four of us with the guys from Holland. But no. That China girl just had to squeeze herself between me and Jesper. Damn her!

This curly-haired cutie is our Assistant Director for our Comm. Harvard Kid.

Gawd! Aint he such a cutie? He is from Yale Uni and representing the UK. Cant remember his name thou...

Smiley faces after the conference. We took a shot with the China people who were rather grateful to us for helping them out in amending their resolution. It turned out that their resolution did not passed. Clearly, Dhillah and I were annoyed since it had been just a waste of our time.

Voting for the resolution. 2/3 majority?

Trying to come up with a unified resolution. That was Kyle, our director at the podium.

In one of the session at the ballroom.

Dhillah and I were trying our best to help the China people editing their resolution. It was a tough task because they just wont listen.

There was a fire alarm at the hotel which turned out to be a false one. Everyone was forced to huddled together in the lobby. Some guys began to make a din which made everyone laugh.

During one of the unmoderated caucus. The guy in the middle was representing China. He was one of the stronger player in the SPECPOL comm and a pretty cute one too. Hehe..

YAy!!! SIngapore! We managed to push for our agenda.

Delegates from Singapore all-ready to kick some ass!

Us with the team from Spain. Pretty weird guys actually. They were representing Bhutan, a god-knows-where island. I had difficulties in understanding what were they saying, half of the time. However, the guy beside Dhillah is rather nice in a goofy sort of way. Hehe...

My breakfast at Au Bon Pain. This cafe had been our life saviour for the six days that we stayed in Boston. It served fresh delicious bagels, a wide variety of muffins and freshly brewed coffee.

Finally! We reached the Boston Park Plaza Hotel. It was hellish cold! Talk about walking around, embraced in the chilled wind at a temperature of -10 degree celcius.

  Journey to Boston NEW YORK TIMES! Just need to take a shot of this!

View from the bus. We were on our way to Boston. The bus ride lasted for about six hours. Gosh....

Dhillah and I at JFK Airport.

Finally! JFK! We arrived at JFK only to realize that there was some filming going on. Camera crews were everywhere.

Bored.Bored.Bored. Dhillah and I had watched a few movies, shrieked at some random comedies and tv shows, learned new languages such as Turkish, Arab and Korean (which I seriously have forgotten now), played video games and even did some personality tests. Yet, we still have not reached JFK! We also asked the air stewardess for more food. Being the nice flight attendant, she gave us delicious desserts to munch.

View from high above. My first look at real glaciers

Frankfurt Airport. A very practical airport, stripped from all the frills. Very unlike Changi.

Inside the skytrain with Dhillah and Jus.


At the Frankfurt Airport. We arrived in Germany around 5am. Being the curious kittens, we decided to explore the place and stumbled upon the skytrain.  ¶ 11:57 PM 0 Comments

  America!!! Im back! After two whole weeks of staying in America, finally Im back home in sunny Singapore. Am missing the States very badly. This is so weird. At first, I wasnt that keen to go there. I was only interested in attending the conference only since I knew that it would have been an eye-opener. Basically, I wasnt really excited abou the holiday trip after the conference. But wow... Darling was right after all! Ayuni is back home, loving America! Seriously, every pessimistic thing that I have ever heard about America is just dead wrong. Most of them were just mere speculations which do not hold much truth in them. The people are really friendly. Everyone on the streets smile and greet each other even though they are strangers. Walking in the streets seem like a very enjoyable experience.

We met numerous people from various colourful backgrouds. It seems pretty easy to get to know people in America. Some of the people that Dhilla and I befriended, were not even in our SPECPOL committee for the HNMUN. It may be some random guy that we often met in the lobby and conversations start to flow. Thats how friendly the people are. Honestly, you can never do that in Singapore. People may think that youre some crazy girl who is so in love with them just because you smile at them. -Rolls eyes-

The conference was really unusually interesting. I just realize how insignificant Singapore is on the world map. We are certainly just a little red dot on the world map where others do not really care about us. Heck, some of the people even thought that Singapore is a part of China! Plus, they were extremely surprise that we can speak good English. Clearly, I was annoyed. "Duhz... English is our first language and we speak English most of the time!" Dhilla and I have to keep on pushing for Singapore's stance regarding the Iraq issue. Just like the real Singapore diplomats, we allied ourselves with the Great Powers such as China and UK. I dont mind thou. The guys representing such countries are really cute! At the same time, we maintained good relations with the ASEAN countries. Hehe... it was really fun! Its true that Singapore needs to be extra aggresive so that other countries will take notice of us because we are actually a nobody at the international level. In order for people to notice us, we need to stay relevant. After a long hard fight, we managed to make people to remember us and listen to us. It was tough work since our committee is in the GA and thus, it was really difficult to stand out. Nevertheless, the whole conference was really an invaluable experience for me.

We had a trip to Harvard Uni after the conference. Gosh, I just love the place! The Harvard people are really great and we managed to click well with them. Shu Ming, a President Scholar from Singapore was our tour guide and a very wonderful one indeed. His friends are really great too. We were lucky because we were able to mingle with the people as they were having some housewarming event at a professor's place. The food was good. Homecooked rapberry pie with ice-cream and truffles. I managed to interact well with some of the people there. It was a pleasant surprise because I always thought that students from top universities such as Harvard are snobs. Clearly, they are not. Instead, they are more friendly than NUS students!

Our NYC trip was splendid. We went to the UN headquarter, Statue of Liberty and Times Square. We walked around lower Manhattan and mid Manhattan. I love the shopping scene. Everything was really cheap and there was a wide variety of choices. One thing for sure, you need to have the cool hard cash in order to enjoy the real NYC experience. Dhilla and I hang out with the German and Dutch people during most of our trip in NYC. They are fun people who can get quite rowdy sometimes. However, we had good times together. Kind of missing them actually but hopefully, we will meet them again soon.

Hmmm... Ive been writing a lot. Let me stop here and let pictures do the rest of the talking for me. Hoping to get more pictures from others in my team. Update again yah...  ¶ 11:57 PM 0 Comments

  My last entry before I fly off tonight. Gawd... it took me nearly three days to pack. Okay fine. I wasnt in the groove to pack. Hell.. no one loves packing, especially not me. I feel like taking my whole room, fold it into my luggage and set off. There isnt any need to ziplocked clothes, shoes, toiletries and stuffs. Packing wont be such a chore anymore.

Talking about packing. Well.. know what? My luggage is so big that I think I could squeeze in. And its heavy. Damn bloody heavy. Do not say that Im bringing too many stuffs because I didnt overpacked. I am bringing the things and clothes which are mandatory for someone who is travelling to places where the temperature is below zero degree celcius. Really troublesome.

Hopefully I will update this blog when Im in States. And yes, I am bringing my webcam along! So whoever miss me, especially my dearies, wait for me on MSN and ta-daaaaa... Ayuni will be live from Boston! Plus guest appearance by Dhilla!

Till then...  ¶ 3:00 PM 0 Comments

  Hello people!

Wow... it has been a while since I last wrote it. A lot of shit had happened and I am still in the midst of it. Hopefully, everything would be back to normal. If not... well, lets just leave it in the hands of the Almighty God. Anyway, my last weekend before I fly off to States has been a blast. I had a good time with my cousins last Sunday at El-Sheik. Thanks guys! It was quite a wild night out with good live music, shesha and fantastic crowd. Fun.

The past two days have been splendid too. We went shesha-ing at El-Sheik again. Thanks sweeties! You guys rock my world! Honestly, I do not know what I will do without my beautiful babes. Maybe I will go crazy or something.. Life can be such fucking irritating that you seriously need wonderful people by your side -smiles-

We will have more fun after Dhilla and I get back from States! Gosh.. talking about our States trip- I havent pack yet! And I have not done any work yet. Im sooo dead! Allright.. got to go... dont feel like writing because I cannot think of anything to write at this moment in time. Need to upload pictures now. Toodles!  ¶ 7:56 PM 0 Comments
