Haha, know that this is a bit late but better late than never! Yea man, Food Hunt 2008 is over! And it is a rocking great success! Really thanks lots to Applie for inviting me to join her and many others on this wonderful and memorable journey. Pity to say that there were still imperfections and minor screwups here and there, and quite a few times due to oversight on my part... Argh... I know I should not be too much of a perfectionist but I just cannot help but scold myself for not being more careful, not being more detailed and not having more foresight. Sigh..

Anyway, I managed to be a facilitator again this year! Even though it is not meant to be like that initially, I was glad to be able to be one. If not I will be less occupied throughout the day, away from the action and fun. This year my energy level not as high as last year but nevertheless enjoyed the company of my team. Haha, thankfully I was paired with Meiyi, her boyfriend and company. Realised that as I move on to Year 2, I am starting to have more inertia with regards to taking initiative to know more people during events. If not I think I will be rather sian diao ba. ^-^

At the start of the day, I was literally prancing about as final preparations are being made before the teams set off. I really do not know why but I was super high on that day. Totally energy level is ultimate one. I was really happy that Food Hunt is here and really excited to see the whole event unfold before my very eyes. It is a feeling that I have yet to experience for a long time. Food Hunt was the first project in Arts Club which I gave in all I have, going beyond my own job scope and expectations to ensure that the event will be successful. Doing it for the second year and seeing us building on where we left from last year, making it much more big scale and successful than last year, makes me high to the max! Even though this time round there were more emotional roller coasters, it makes the journey more endearing to the heart. Thanks to the say-himself-very-slack-but-actually-not-slack DPD Admin Bing De for all the crisis management aid. :P

I think after this year, Food Hunt really has the potential to make it big. In the past, I still remember an ex-PD telling me to take note that signups may face problem, must take note of the date of the event to ensure maximum participation. But now, I think that should be the least of our worry for future Food Hunt ocomm already. We have built up a very good reputation for Food Hunt, be it programmes, stalls or vouchers for participants at the end of the event. Just pray very very very hard that there will be the someone who is willing and daring to take it up as a PD next year to continue this legacy. So long as you believe it is possible, you will be able to do it. And also, doing it not by yourself but with a team of dedicated ocomm members can make the impossible happen and allow for miracles to take place. :)))

Lastly, just want to say that no matter what we do, different people have different thinkings, different expectations, different points of view and different takes on things. Even though sometimes the process may not necessarily equates results that people may want, I believe everyone has a good intention to justify every action. It just warms my heart to see it when people do not just do things for their own project's benefits, but rather think of things in the long run, in the big picture and for other people even. It just makes the world a better and more hopeful place to live in isnt it? :)
