re-charge aims to build at team building by participating in high impact outdoor activities such as kayaking, caving and trekking.
THE TEAM
But re-cap is nothing without the TEAM. The core organizing commitee. (Profiles to be updated)
Farhan Mahmud (aka Frankie) / architecture
A
self-proclaimed travel channel addict, I spent most of my time being a
couch potato back in my hometown, Kota Kinabalu. But the exposure of
backpacking REC style (later changed to re-cap.org) gave me the extra
push that I needed and not to mention the fact that I found a way to
get my parents to pay all of my expenses for my travels (let us just
say that it is all for studies). I believe that the ‘Architecture +
Art + Travel Combo’ fuels me to give back to the community since all
those years of gaining, needs to be shed eventually, right?
I am not fearless. Toss me in a cage with a
hungry tiger, and if i should escape, I will need a bath and clean
pants as surely as the next guy. --Dean Koontz :‘Life Expectancy' farhan@re-cap.org
Catherine Kong / architecture
I
enjoy being active and therefore have a hard time sitting for hours in
an office chair doing desk-bound work. Prefer to get up and get
involved! I love travelling and believe that the environment can teach
us more than being stuck in a classroom. I fell in love with architecture when I went on my first `culture & theory’ site visit.When I travel, I would rather camp out with the locals than put up in a fancy hotel.
The
world has then colored my life with vivid experiences, memories and
inspiration I hope to bring into my architecture. I believe things
happen for a reason.
Whenever we go; whomever we meet; whatever we do; should mean something to us.
It is better to learn than to know. catherine@re-cap.org

Day 05 - 21.01.2008 - 13:25 (Hanoi, Vietnam)
(Excerpt from Hanoi-Bangkok blog)
I
really didn't write much the past 2 days, probably because I kinda
completely disconnect myself from 'work'. I keep bumping into this same
lady that sells banana. She gives me this weird price all the time, but
something about seeing familiar faces makes you feel warm inside. So I
said to myself, if I ever want to get fruits, I'll get bananas from
her. Maybe I should snap a photo of her if I ever meet her again.
Of course, I never did.
Since then, I made it clear to myself that I must backpack to a different place every year! Insyallah.

Elvin Tan Kiang How / architecture
Dreaming of becoming a
great architect since I was in form 2 and I strive to be where I am
today. Before; architecture was merely a great combination of science
and art that allows infinite expression of my own creativity. All I have in my mind is to work hard.
'Till Frankie and I
met our Suzy in one of her culture class where she showed us part of
her travel experience. From that very right moment It seemed like an
enlightenment to me.Architecture is much more then I had thought it
was. Working and playing hard lets me experience and look at things in
new dimensions and perspectives. re-cap does this to you. Experiencing….Documenting…Sharing and Giving back to the community is what makes a difference.
p/s: Elvin is addicted to re-cap…. hehehe
