AUG 14th: FAREWELL PARTY_GRADUATION CEREMONY

Huhu, time flied so fast, this is the last night of us, we had a "flooded" dinner near the Indo Sea (great), but wait, why do I call it a "flooded" party. For 2 reasons:

1. In the mid-party, there's a really really heavy rain while we were enjoying our buffet. So, each of us needed to jump in any chair nearby since the sand floor was bit by bit flooded by water. But worse than that,since we had the party on the SAND floor, so the chair was bit by bit drown down in the sand (so scared, heheh)

2. Of course, FLOODED by TEARs. The last 2 weeks to each of us just like a dream, everything was so perfect, esp. the organizing Team, they did the best to their effort. The female lead-organizer who we called "Mama Riris" never showed her superiority though she's a well-known lecturer in UI, though she had her family with 2 lttile kids, she spent the whole time with us. Here's her pic:

I still remembered the day we discussed the "destiny" of ASEAN LOGICS (since this is the 1st ASEAN LOGICS, ASEAN FOUNDATION will not guanrantee for the next one unless this time it was successful (yes, it was:) and then, another country was brave enough and willing enough to hold the 2nd ASEAN LOGICs next year. We ahve a long long discussion from 8pm till...1am. All of the participants were already tired and exhausted to death:) (just imagined 2 weeks with ony 4-5 hrs sleeping per night), but then the Organzing Team was still so energetic. I could taste the passion and spirit inside them. And for that reason, me as well as other Vietnamese participants agreed to...put Vietnam in the candidate list for the next ASEAN LOGICs besides Malaysia, Singapore ; finally Malaysia took the pride to organize the next event thanks to their detialed plan in advance (well, I dunno whether it was lucky or unlucky when we were not selected coz we just knew that info "a country must be selected in the last day:) so we didn;t have any preparation except for our spirit, and one more thing, if we were chosen,it will be really really hard for us to cope up wiht the bureaucracy and "coldness" of some of the leaders in our schools (even worse when I am not a student anymore next year:)

Wait, I'm out of the track already, am I telling you abt our "crying" party, rite???. Well, it's so hard to say g'bye, esp. after the very eloquent and emotional speech form my roommate -Shao and then, in the rhythm of the song "Leaving on a jet plane". Everyone, guys, girls...or gays(hehhe) cannot help crying an hugging and kissing (no kissing, i'm kidding:).

Ah, FYI, we have a mini ASEAN LOGICS Award that night (just like MTV, GRAMMY or OSCAR award or sth, heheh:), and guess what, I was nominated as Mr. Commitment and became the winner (hooray) with the award is a Teddy Bear, ahha:)

Ok, every party must have its end. But hopefully, the spirit of ASEAN LOGICS will never end as long as in each of us, "ASEAN -ONE SOLIDARY COMMUNITY" mindset is still living. LONG LIVE ASEAN LOGICS. LONG LIVE ASEAN!!!
