The Youth Sustainability Camp

UTHM, Batu Pahat, Johor.

Day 1

It's been a long and boring journey to johor.
and they have a boring start for it...

a bit dissapointed. the first day here is totally non-productive.
80% of time we r doing useless thing...well, like waiting, eating, and waiting=="

in the opening ceremony, yes, i can't deny that the vc or the dato or the prof gave a good speech in front, but, how many of us really can practise it? i wonder...
vc uthm mentioned wasting food is unsustainable, sadly, the person just beside me can't clean her plate... and, my friends here use 2 or 3 pieces of tissue paper per person just to wipe their hands...and thats so-called 'sustainable'...

if, these are our future green generations or leader,
will there still be green...?

Day 2

What m i doing here...? my god...
I felt like i'm wasting time here....

what they are trying to achieve or deliver?
the objective seems so vague...
the facilitator seems so blur and directionless...
the programme seems unplanned, not in details perhaps...
we eat 6 meals a day, and much time wasted on waiting!
oh my god!!!what is this?? they spent 36000 for WHAT?!!

I can't stand it! why these engineering people like to make themselves so clever and play around with technology stuff? Things will be simplier if you just find the root of it.

but then the night of presentation i'm quite impressed by chuck's presentation, on sustainability.
perhaps that is what i'm going to learn soon too!
also, i learn something from a 3rd year senior called nik...lucky to have him as my facilitator^^

aih~ what is this man...?

Day 3

At last, there are something that i've gained here, and something to ponder and to look foward.

We have a conference today.
Yea, they speaks a lot, which i agreed mostly.
listened to these prof, suddenly i feel like all of these crisis we experienced now have their root in our heart.
our heart is polluted, so did our society, and environment, and the earth.

Here, i have been awaken by a senior, taking applied geo.
He said, we seems to be ego when we have some knowledge on this.
while we are trying to work on some activities or programmes to change others, we seem to isolate ourselves from others.
But, it all start from ourselves.
Have we done enough personally?
Have we pracitise it everyday?
How we should deliver it and influence the people around us?
or we are just being too shy to deliver it?
we often think of many projects, which are mostly unpracticable.
whereas we have forgotten ourselves. the people around us.

he reminded me why i wanna take this course
he reminded me on how should i do this.
he reminded me on who am i...

you see, i all starts from our heart, ourselves...
but, sadly, before we went back, we stop by for some kerepek...

well,
NON OF THEM bring their piggy bag with them,
NON OF THEM refuse to take plastic bag...
great! what a successful camp it was...

besides all the bad things,
i did earned a lot by networking...
i have know many of my SPAS seniors,
know these green people in um,
know them from other campus.
it's nice to know another chinese senior in spas,
Ng Chuck Chuan, funny, he doesn't really looks like chinese XD...
but he speaks mandrin...lol...

and that's all from this camp...
i didn't like this camp though, but it may be a good start to step in a green network in um, hopefully...
