Survival Rotaract @ RDC 2007

Fun! Fun! Fun! Are the word I could think of to describe the Rotaract District Conference that was held over the weekend of 19 Jan 2007 to 21 Jan 2007. Rotaracts from all the 4 different zones in the district came to participate in this event. Having the theme "Survival Rotaract", it really gives a different twist to an event such as the RDC by making the event fun and interesting to be in as well as informative to newer members.

Six tribes were 'formed' at the beginning of the conference namely Orang Asli, Batek, Kadazan, Orang Ulu, Orang Laut and Ibans. The interesting part is that each tribe were asked to make their own flag or trademark. And this is where the bonding between Rotaractors from different zone starts. And this is one quality that I believe to be important that need to be developed within a tribe which is needed throughout Rotaractors.

Throughout the event of 2 days and 2 nights, we learned how to cook using limited resources, learned to brainstorm ideas in short period of time and stand in the gap for each other. Hard work? Yes, definitely but it pays off well at the end of the day. Memory and experience from this conference is something to cherish and remember. Whatever is being learned here is not to forget or kept aside.

Overall, it is a success as many enjoyed themselves to the end. Many wished for it to be longer and many wanted more. But all can't deny but agree that the organizing committee did a great job in putting all the logistics, itinerary and programs together. Applause to them and not to mentioned the caterer, Keyuan, for proving all of us with savory and mouth-watering meals. Definitely will go for another of such conference again.

Survivor Rotaract? Yes! We will survive through time, trial and challenges. No mountain to high to conquer, no ocean too deep to explore. Keep it up!!!
