I came down early, and there was no one else around yet so I sat in the secretariat room and talked to the committee. It was fun meeting with people behind the scene.

Participants namelist
We had our dinner at around 7.30pm. This was followed by an administrative briefing from the Head of Secretariat, Hajah Hamsah.
Administrative briefing
The ice-breaking was conducted by Mr. Zainal Abidin Tunggal (who insisted we just call him 'Zainal') where we played a game to help memorise each others' name. It was quite fun as we see the side of people as they become excited and confused. Two rounds and fourteen names later, we played another game where we each had to write three facts about ourselves on three cards anonymously, then we each had to guess who wrote the cards. We were able to learn new things about each other this way, for example, "I want to be a diver" or "I want to be an entrepreneur". Interestingly enough, I wrote 'I like rock music', but people's first impression is that it had to be a guy's kind of music, so the guesser went on to guess the boys' name before realising it was me.
Picking out the first clue card
Sam (Vietnam), Nopp (Thailand), Phei (Thailand), Thipp (Laos) , Bich (Vietnam)
Yatt (Malaysia), Nasri (Brunei), Andhika (Indonesia), Wildan (Indonesia), Kamil (Malaysia)
Bich (Vietnam), Sreytoch (Cambodia), Dina (Cambodia), Tata (Laos), Kye (Brunei)
We retired back to our rooms around 10pm. The Malaysian delegation arrived halfway during the ice-breaking, while the Philippine delegation will only arrive around midnight.
Tomorrow we start our first module!
