What a night!
Oh man...this is crazy..it was originally a dinner outing with Adrian and Chris..a lovely pizza dinner at Arthurs.
In the end we ended back up at Adrian's place with a few of his colleague from Rex. much drinks was passed around and Adrian got really smashed. I was half gone but still ok enough, Sarah the lovely girl cheated at the game of Bluff (she threw down half her deck at below the table, none of us noticed cos we were all quite gone cept for a couple of people). Weiye (internee at Rex, from NUS) drank the most hard liquor tonight, think more than 3 shots of Vodka. All thanks to Indian Poker.
And it is only the second day of the semester...

AMUNC ends...
It was finally the finale of the Asia Pacific Model United Nations Conference (AMUNC) last night.
The Gala ball was certainly the highlight of the entire proceedings given that so many of the delegates, directors and the secretariat have put in the effort to make it work. Especially the secretariat, they rock (and mostly cute too!). I can't believe it was all a student driven and runned huge event!
The happy coincidence of my birthday occuring on the same day as the end of the conference was certainly more than welcomed by me given that I am so used to having smaller affairs such as simple meal outings with friends and family. It was certainly a change when I immersed myself in the great party atmosphere and hearing so many birthday wishes from my committee mostly, the lovely girls and gentlemen that they are.
As for my experiences in this conference, it is hard to put it in words and indeed will only end up as a long prerambulatory clauses..hehe. Fun, nervewrecking, interesting and aboveall eye opening. While the nature of this conference may be substantially different from most other working conferences, the AMUNC has certainly, I believe, given all the participants the impetus to want to do something more and the opportunity to network somewhat. And it is my own wishes that the great and nice girls and guys in my committee to keep in touch with each other and hopefully some lasting friendships would have been birthed.
All in all, as they say, the curtains must drop down as the shows end and as we leave each other now, we will surely meet again in the future, somehow, somewhere. Goodbye my friends!

The story of the mountain tortise
It is the start of the conference today. And the only way to describe it from my perspective is that a mountain tortise is probably a good illustration.
So many fascinating people and a few attractive ones too...but oh well, the usual caveat applies, the cross cultural barrrier for any mutual attraction probably says much for my case especially since I do not attempt to ingratiate some of the nice delegates with my horrid brand of charm. More like swarm.
But i had it pretty alright so far for this conference. Will be glad to leave behind my topic in a days time.
Do I really sound like I am from the Phillipines???
