This event is registered through our course. Our roles for this event are liason officers. I'm being allocated to the Observer country - Russian delegations (total of 6). In another word, I'm the secretary between the Singapore Parliament and the delegation secretary.
Today was the first day of event. I was pretty nervous. I went to "welcome" the arrival of the delegations with the MP, Mr Sam Tan. After everything was settled with the immigration and their luggage, I sent them off to Shangri-la hotel in a mini-bus. There are many procedures to be done.. erm.. well.. perhaps not exactly, just that this is my first time handling such event. I would say that this is a challenging job. I really pity the chief Liason Officer. All of us are first timer, and his phone's battery was flat by evening.
Communication is an issue. Most of them could speak English, but... you really have to figure out what they are trying to say. There are many things we have to know at our finger tips. It's not easy. The first day of event, and I'm half dead. Many changes, many requirements made to be fulfilled, many arrangements to be made. My phone has rang so many times today, and it's really irritating and stressful. But.. it's fun afterall!
Allright... gtg. gotta wake up at 6am tmr... Argh... Nite!
