Weekend at London

Assalamu'alaikum,

This time, two committee representatives were sent to London to attend the Inaugural Leaders' Conference! The vice-president and the secretary attended the event.

The conference was held at the senate library in UCL. The purpose of the conference was for society leaders to raise current issues and concerns that students may have about future employment or anything related to employment. The purpose of the conference was not, however, to propose solutions to problems then and there. Solutions to the issues raised generally require time for an effect to be seen. The Brunei High Commissioner and other representatives from different government sectors were present during that time.

Of course it was mentally exhausting to attend this conference, what with most of the society leaders arrived in london at midnight. Thankfully breakfast and lunch were served, so that makes up for the mental exhaustion :D hahahahaha!



These were taken before the event started, while we were served light food...for most us, that would be breakfast. HAHAHAHA!


Greeting the Brunei High Commissioner as he arrived. Look at our vice-president. The only one with a songkok. Biasa, BruYork kaliah


Stating the event with a prayer in hopes of getting Allah's blessing. Our representatives' seats! 'Twas awesome. Much sakai


This is what the representatives look like, 30 minutes in the conference. HAHAHAHAHAHA! That epic bored face doe XD


This is what the conference room looks like from our representative's view. The panelists on the left side of the picture. It looks very formal, but it was quite informal; we can speak up whenever we want  (basically) and we can speak in English, Malay, or just normal Brunei slang.




These were taken after the conference ended. It was nice to see familiar faces :)



Well, that's how the Saturday worked out for our representatives. Whether it was fun or not depends on whether or not there were a lot of exciting people or just people you used to know. Sort of became a catch-up session for some them I guess :) 

Sampai sini saja,

XOXO
