SGMUN Day 1

Actually , I wouldn't even be here blogging if it wasn't for the fact that I'm still in the midst of uploading all the pictures from today to Facebook. It was a really , really long day and I'm very exhausted - I say this alot , i know - but I really wanna get the pictures up tonight or I'll never.

Overall , I'm very disappointed with this year's conference. Firstly , most delegates were not punctual. We were supposed to gather at 8 , and there were still many walking in way past ten. We couldn't do any lobbying since most weren't even present yet so yeah , that was 2 hours down the drain. I'm particularly disappointed with this 'im-too-great-to-be-punctual' attitude a lot of people have nowadays. It's just not nice to keep people waiting on you because come on , who do you think you are? I can understand if you're slightly late but two hours? Now that's definitely not a delay 'because of the jam'. It's a 'I can't wake up' scenario and I'm sorry but these people have no regards for others. You are attending a conference , not a Chinese wedding. If you can't even be on time , I believe that just defeats the whole purpose of joining this mock UN event because what exactly as a delegate do you learn?   

And then secondly , as if things couldn't get any worse , the two committees had to be merged into one due to the extremely poor attendance. Now, I cannot recall attending a poorer planned MUN before. A year or two back , everyone was eager to contribute to the resolutions. Everyone was punctual and most turned up. Let's just say the enthusiasm to debate was there. Some even came earlier to discuss on the resolutions they were working on before sending it to the chair. That's supposed to be the spirit but there we were , debating on resolutions that, at any one time, half the hall had no idea about. I don't know about the others but I was extremely disinterested.

Anyway , here are some pictures. :)
