on board again...gosh!!

will be on board Ms. Nippon Maru as the OBSC
during sailing from Manila to Tokyo 2-12 Dec
35th SSEAYP 2008

Tomorrow Friday, SSEAYP International Indonesia asks me to come to their meeting where I got to manage a presentation. Presentation on what will I conduct as the OBSC 35th SSEAYP 2008.

Then I realize, that I am the OBSC this year. Something that I never thought about. Like I’m going to repeat a memorable chapter of my life, as a PY, seven years a go. I shall explain you at first that OBSC stands for on Board Ship Conference, consist of representatives from each respective Alumni Association of SSEAYP. (SSEAYP is the Ship for South East Asian Youth Program an exchange program, promoting friendship and mutual understanding


Therefore to promote further unity and cooperation among Alumni Association. they send its representative to join OBSC. The conference provides a venue for them to share other post program projects, to discuss ongoing and prospective collaborative activities, to introduce SI to the current PYs (SSEAYP Participant Youth) and of course to prepare the publication of annual SSEAYP News (SI News Letter). Last but not least, run the post program session on board, encourage PYs active participation in social activities after SSEAYP, utilizing the results of the discussion program.


There will be nines representatives for the OBSC 35th SSEAYP 2008, ASEAN Countries and Japan (excluded Lao PDR and Myanmar). I look forward to the other OBSC members, now. I highly believe that they kind of excellent member in their alumni association. Hopefully me and the other work together running our duties and have fun at the same time since we are on our memorable Ms. Nippon Maru. So I guess I can deny how excited I am being part if the OBSC, especially when I know that other candidates were also qualified even I think they better. So I will work hard so that SII would never regret of choosing me. I will left the excitement euphoria of being onboard behind.
