41st Interact District Conference ( IDC )

Last Thursday ( 10/12/2009 ) ,I have been very fortunate to be one of the lucky fews to be chosen to go for the 41st Interact District Conference in INTI University College, Nilai, Negeri Sembilan . What a wonderful trip it turned out to be and the best part about it is that this trip was wholly,fully sponsored by the rotary club of penang ( only for us penang interactors yeah !XD ) , all RM 230 of them ! WOOT, ain't that just freaking awesome ? =D

That being said, in return of those sponsorship, we are to report about that conference and participate in the conference actively as representatives from penang. But yeah, being teenagers, do u think we give a damn about it ?= X Anyway, I guess you guys who are bored and probably looking for something fun to read on would like to know more about the story there in Negeri Sembilan ,so here you go =D

Alright, without further ado, let the story begin !

Day 1
We departed from penang at around 8.30 am , and arrived at the college around 2 + pm . Bawh, so much for the expected 5 hours ride . Being Malaysians, we will never reach the destination on time.Punctuality was a rather absurb concept for us. Either way, we were supposed to reach there by 1 pm and have our lunch there , but as sadly, with a bit of delay here and there we managed to reach there at 2+ pm, thus effectively missing the lunch programme and was forced to attend the talk first.
Luckily,the organizers there were good enough to let us eat while the talk is going on, thus saving us from dying from hunger. =D Straight after the lunch / talk , we headed straight for the first exciting programme of the day, the Ice Breaking .

Basically, the ice breaking consists of 4 stations, each station offering different kind of games for us to play and well, socialise and interact with each other.

The 1st station offers a game where the participants have to stack up the chairs one by one and cross over each other without falling down to the other side . Those who did it the fastest win.
See? From one side to the other side, stack the chairs, stand on it and cross over.

2nd Station, we move on to the basketball court and there we have a game of stripping , literally . Yes, U heard me correctly , STRIP. Well the rules of the game is simple, take out everything you have with you and line in on the floor to make a line. team that make the longest and most lines win =D

See, Stripping = one extra cloth = longer line. Smart ppl =D

After that there are two more stations which I did not really participate in due to various unforseen circumstances (laziness ) =X . Thus , sorry I could not provide u guys with the details about it .

Next,we have dinner,supper, talks and more talks .Nothing exciting . Alright moving on.. day 2 =D

Day 2
The morning schedule was filled with nothing but talks, talks talks and more talks .Bawh so not fun at all. But the night was much more interesting. On day 2 ,we have formal dinner, which means everyone gets to dress up and showcase their beautiful dresses and gowns. But wait, there's more there is even a fashion show organized by the interactors from klang.Dang they rocks =D
Day 3
As usual, there will always be talks , but the main event of the day is Treasure hunt! We will be split up to several teams and we are to go do some tasks which involves walking around INTI college and do various tasks .. from taking pics of sport facilities to counting how many humps are there in the college.

Count the number of tennis balls in there.. Hah

My awesome Team Alpha =D .
One of the tasks of the treasure hunt is to take a group photograph with an inti bus. So.. there =D
Another task is to take pic of sport facility.. there the tennis court =D

As far as I remember,treasure hunt was the most exciting and interesting programme in the whole conference.On Day 4, we packed our things and started leaving with a heavy ,sad feeling but bringing back the fond,sweet memories that we won't forget.

Miscellaneous
Throughout the coonference , I have learned a lot of things , mostly regarding lessons on life. I have learnt in order to gain something new, one must risk losing something old too. Only when one is willing to take a step outside their comfort zone will they discover the endless possibilities of the new world.Of course this conference have taught me too, no matter how far we are separated , friendship transcends those borders =D .

Alright, I shall not bored you any longer.. enjoy the pictures below for your visual pleasure .
