35th Ship for Southeast Asian Youth Program ( 21 Oct - 11 Dec 08 )

A lot friend asked me on why i wasnt around in malaysia so long .. i have been in 52 days cruise program which initiated by Govt of Japan with collaboration Govt of Southeast Asean countries .. we have been as family for 52 days .. Youth who are choosen to represent 11 Asean countries will spend their life in Nippon Maru ship (i missed her so much) .. she is hospitalized now .. back to my story ... during this program ... we staying together , sleep together and evrything we doing together regardsless from where we are .. its a great moment to represent Malaysia in Asia Arena .. We have a lot of activities that we have done during cruise program e.g discussion (mine VA grp with Apiz , wan muneq and Awin d long mermaid .. missed u like crazy guys!!!!) , culture performances , solidatory group ( mine SG K ) , homestay (interesting!!!!! ... i have 6 host parent s ) , courtesy calls , institutional visits , flag hoisting @ 7am and etc .... During program , Nippon Maru has embarked at 6 Southeast Asian Countries .. Yokohama , Brunei , Indonesia , Thai , Vietnam & Philippines ..

Finally i felt how bad seasick is .. wow .. the entire body shacking , vomitted like crazy and you never can walk straight ... hahahaha .. its valuable & memorable experience for me .... during cruise days i always spend my time with Awin & Wan Muneq at top deck of Nippon Maru .. we are not often chit chatting but we just listening to the awin's mp3 which played hindustan song .. and waiting for sun set ... wahhhh .. great time huh .... u can see sunset from different countries everyday ..



I learnt a lof things from this program ... about friendship , people true colours , politics and the only one i always remember ... we are independent in this program .. ok guys .. hard to tell everything but if you got chance to go same as what i had .... please do not hesitate to accept the offer .. oppurtunity doesnt come twice in our life ...
