It has been such a busy period for the month of July with big events being packed back-to-back. At one stage, I was in correspondence with about 140 speakers and chairpersons from the 3 events, in which I was anchoring. No matter how big or how small the event is, it's still the same amount of work. It makes no difference catering for 50 pax or 100 pax. However, organising bigger event is more gratifying -- for the same amount of work, it reaps more results such as more participants and more papers.
Thank goodness, there are 5 interns (Ada, Karita & Mike from Chinese University of Hong Kong; Jim & Peter from University of British Columbia, Canada) and a new colleague, Sharon with us. We had lots of fun and how can I forget the feasting trips to Sakae Sushi, Cafe Les Amis, MacDonalds, Coffee Beans and the numerous events dinner. No wonder I put on 4 kg during the recent events peak period!
