Winter 04 YE Camp
Jan 10, 2005 in Diary-writer
I was at A' Famosa Resort, Malacca on December 26. While the catastrophic events on Boxing Day whirled around us, I was oblivious to the disaster until hours later when Eric messaged me with news. Over 70 of us were celebrating cultural diversity at the Lions Club Malaysia District 301-B1 Malaysia Youth Exchange Programme Winter Camp. Some of you would have remembered my participation in the Summer Camp earlier in 2004.
This was taken on the bus, early on Day 1.
We taught the Japanese kids how to make little bookmarks by doing the anyaman.
Aya got the hang of weaving pretty quickly, as you can see.
Among the other things we shared with our Japanese friends was Henna Art. This was EXTREMELY popular.
Elaine and I primming up for the Cultural Night.
We had to be ready by 7.30 every morning, regardless of the late nights. This is the Organizing Committee standing outside the shuttle.
The must-have drag queen fashion show was a blast, as usual.
Here are the organizing committee members.
And the group photo… to officiate the end of the event.
I suppose my 2004 Christmas/2005 New Year's Day celebrations were definitely set apart from the previous years. I met new friends, had good great fun (meaningful fun!) in Malacca, spent time with loved ones when I got back and returned with albums full of great photos as testimony.
