At this point in time after we have each received our NYAA Gold awards, to be honest I don't think anyone is ecstatic or overjoyed simply because the whole journey took us 2 and a half years to get here and the excitement has died down. Holding the scroll in our hands simply means we have gotten the acknowledgment of what we have gone through. If I have much to complain about the paperwork and proposals etc, I don't know what the other 5 of you guys have went through. You know who you are when you tried to cover up for me by helping me with my submissions, printing my rubbish, doing more than required of yourself, staying up late during sleepovers to do what-not....
The list goes on, so who am I to complain? I still feel a strong sense of attachment to the people of Fusionoize, more than my own friends right now. i hope you guys feel the same to and treasure of bond as much as I do. Things would not have been this way if not for certain people who created opportunities to tag along on this road to Gold. Once again, thanks for carrying my weight along this long journey and I appreciate what has been done for me truly.
Here are my most memorable moments:
1)Adventurous Journey Fusionoize Vietnam 06'
This is something that we would never ever do again, given its' risks and logistics we need to consider. Then again, we should be proud we managed to do it and clear the AJ riding down slopes on bicycles at 40km/h and trekking through hills where tourists have died trying. We also experienced Joseph nearly getting into an accident at a blind spot, Thomas 'Ear-shoot-blood' Leong, ZL beggar suit among many others. i now see why Khooky likes doing such trips even at his age as each would be particularly memorable. I thank you for having organized this AJ section which made our experience way better than others' 4D3N @ Ubin etc.
2)Flight Delay @ Noi Bai Airport
Thanks to Tiger %@#^@#% Airways, we were entitled to a night's stay in Hanoi's airport for 17 hours. I still recall Edmund's US flight which he missed, the old women and little children crying at the scene, and ZL lying down on the floor as though his dad bought the place. Still, we struggled through the entire night and endured the worst conditions for the whole Fusionoize Vietnam 06' trip (don't argue here, we could not even get drinking water!). On the bright side if not for the bird slamming into the windshield of the plane, there would not have been Tiger %#^@ Credits and Fusionoize Laos 07!
3)The NYAA Gold award ceremony video presentation
This was a compilation of photos from all the 168 recipients and the activities they went through. Only God knows how many photos the Council received (I myself sent 10!), but out of all the selected few VSNPCC Fusionoize had at least 1 photo in each category of the various NYAA sections. Imagine what we experienced was actually the model for all participants to emulate in their quest for the Gold award such that most of our photos were specially selected for display to all the VIPs and guests present. Although there were also many other groups who did the same tasks, we were a step ahead of them which was why we were chosen!
