OMG I'm turning into a Pillow Nazi

Just spent 2 weeks staying in at the Shangri-La Hotel to support the event mentioned above in the title...

Many many experiences and thoughts about the past 2 weeks are going through my mind as I type this so I'll try to write this in the most organized way I can.

I was assigned to oversee the Bilateral Meeting Rooms to check on all them before the foreign dignitaries used them for their bilateral meetings... Apparently I was assigned a few interns to help me run the show from the second day onwards of the ministerial meetings. Over the course of the next few days, and I managed to train some interns like Sharon, Nicole, Jasmine, Kristen, Lin Tong, Yi Ren, Tiffany, Gideon and Kai Yan to be able to run the bilat show with minimal supervision. Though they were barely 17, some of them showed maturity and ability to handle the (somewhat) complicated operation of the bilat room duty, which called for some of them to exercise their ability to think on their feet and their independent thinking. Overall Operation Bilat Rooms went by very smoothly without any major hitches, and I'm glad to say that I'm proud of each and every one of them.

Some rather interesting incidents happened, which I think would be quite unforgettable for some of the interns, but other than that, I would say everyone had their fair share of fun and laughter.

The last day was capped off with a nice party for everyone and Min G.Yeo & 2PS said some words of thanks to us before the gorging and boozing began. Some of us adjourned to Partyworld Orchard after the party and I must say we sang our hearts out that night... but thats not the end yet. We adjourned (again) to our favourite pizza joint along Evans Road, Mr Prata, and we had some supper there. We had a ball of a time as we were cracking jokes all the time, Juniper and Dominic included. Alice was so tickled/embarrassed by us that she was laughing non-stop at our nonsense.. =D

Now that its all over, back to reality and work again, and I think with all the work piled up and with preps for Nat'l Day Observance Ceremony in full swing, I think I'm gonna be kept busy, and won't be able to take a good break for the next 2 weeks... sigh.

On a happier note, though, I'm going to Jakarta soon (sometime next month) for my courier run... gotta start planning for it so... I'll take it as a short break. =D

Look out for the next post for photos of the event!
