13th ASEAN Summit

I've been working late till 11pm almost everynight this week, all because of the upcoming 13th ASEAN Summit, where Singapore plays host to all the delegates from the ASEAN Countries including Presidents, Prime Ministers, Foreign & Trade Ministers and many many more people from each of the 10 ASEAN and 6 East Asian Countries.

Exercises, Role plays and endless meetings make up the bulk of the time at work, and the only good thing is that time flies when you're working hard. It flies even faster when you're in endless meetings where planning goes into every single minute detail of the event.

This year, Singapore is hosting the Summit, which means us at MFA have to do all the planning, organization and coordination of the whole 4 day event.

With so many things going on at the same time, none of us can afford to slip up at anytime. Especially when I was tasked to do the Guestlist of all the VVIPs that would be attending the Gala Dinner event. Special attention had to be paid to VVIPs with long names and honorifics.

Endure... that would be the best way for me to go through this event in one piece... Anyway it would end up as the icing to my "Cake" for ths year, so might as well do it properly. Similarly, if things go wrong my head would also be on the chopping board. So its a do or die situation. Oh well, I've been put through so many of such situations that I'm almost used to it now.
