Syntropy Sarawak - Going home and reflection

After 2 weeks in Sarawak, it was time for me to go home.

So many things happened during that time that if I were to go into the details, I would be able to write a short novel!

The whole experience was nothing that I have ever thought it would be. Collaborating with students from other disciplines was an eye-opener. The people I met and spent so much time with over the two weeks would always have a dear spot in my heart.

Regardless of the fact that it was a crazy, intensive, stressful time, I would do it again.

My group's Cahaya Songket project received very good feedback. Dr Ngo commented that it would be a viable product to pursue. We'll see how that pans out (perhaps a second trip to Sarawak? Who knows?!)

~ Extra Stuff ~

• I had a scary experience while staying at UNIMAS campus. Dai and I stayed up until 4am at the computer labs to work on the designs for Cahaya Songket. As we walked back to the Alamanda Hostel, I suddenly had a panic attack. Like as if I was in danger and someone/something malicious was following us. That feeling quickly went away after we had walked a certain distance... creepy!
• When we started the trip, I noticed that my name was misspelled as Irineo (with the 'o' at the end). I ignored it, thinking that it was just an attendance list. Unfortunately, that was how my name was printed in all of the publications - exhibition name list, certificate of participation, etc. Oh well...
• We managed to go to the orang utan sanctuary in Semenggoh Nature Reserve. It was amazing, totally recommended for you to go!

• And of course, I had to get some souvenirs to take home!
