Kenny 'The Icecube' Voon

6:31pm Saturday 4/March/2006

This time we had two activities. Pulau Harapan, in which we had to push and create a ten year development plan for an island we were stranded on, and Menara Tertinggi, in which we had to built the tallest tower we could out of straws.

The Pulau activity was cool, but i literally had no mood. I let Suh Hui take over everything (and i mean everything), silently praying for patience and wisdom to not lash out and just observe. In the end it was okay, with our group being the best, because it was logical and Suh Hui was logical and Suh Hui determined what choice the team makes.

The greatest personality in that activity, however, was Kenny.

He was the last group to present, and he had seen how the over-ambitious ones got bombed by everyone. He put his map on the whiteboard. We stared.

The island had been converted from something like Timbaktu to something like Singapore. A grand hotel, a resort, a port, urban planning, factories, actual scale for GDP and a lighthouse! WTH!?

He knew as well as we did that he would not survive. So, Kenny being Kenny, he started crapping.

"Oh, we were on a cruise to London for our honeymoon, so got a lot of doctors and engineers and bussinessmen ..."

It went on for quite a few minutes, and had us all in stitches. Ms Chong was close to banging her head on the door with mirth. Especially when

"If your ship karam there, then how come you built a port exactly where your ship karam?"

Kenny replied:" Oh, our ship crashed because of icecube, and then now the icecube from the Antartic don't have, so ..." *Breaks into laughter*. It threw me in stitches, with all my stomach muscles in a cramp from the plain hilarity. O.M.G.

From that time onwards, Kenny became somewhat of a mascot of the camp, Icecube and all.
