The much-awaited International Cultural Festival finally ended on 20th October. It's kinda nostalgic...seeing a 5-month planned event end just like that. We gave our best...especially the SICA ICF organizing committee..despite many problems that came out unexpectedly. There were unhappiness between the different countries' in-charge as they believe they were not given the equal treatment like some other countries. Sometimes it's so hard to be fair..it was the tweeny-weeny details that gave us a hard hit! I've witnessed for myself the growth in some team-mates..the level of maturity and steadiness they withheld. :) And most importantly, it bonded us together..Even though it's not my first time organising a big-scale school event like this (with over 60 countries participating in booth exhibitions and 36 stage performances going on simultaneously), it's still a worthy learning experience. I've learnt a fair bit.....and saw the whole event from a much macro perspective as compared to last year when I was just doing face painting at the Singapore booth. This year, I didn't really help out much for our booth..heh. But the overall booth design was fantastic! Very different from the past years. Kudos to those who did the designs!
I suppose I will not stay on to help ICF as an organiser next year...would like to try other events-planning..like Northeast Asian Network (NEAN), FACES (the Stanford programme), and those pertaining to France and Switz. Would be a more exciting experience! :)
PKU Top 10 Idol was an enjoyable experience..Even though I didn't really give my best..as I was bogged down by other committment. Thanks to my senior 孙欣 who gave me wonderful advice on stage performances and singing. :)
It's probably time to hit the books again. There's still Singapore Season- Writers' Week next Friday. I suppose I will be more free in November to host Alicia, focus on my exams and continue with my papers. hehe.

It's not that chocolates are a substitute for love. Love is a substitute for chocolate. Chocolate is, let's face it, far more reliable than a man. ~Miranda Ingram
Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get!
