ACAMM

ACAMM (ASEAN Chief of Army Multilateral Meeting) is finally over. I spent the last 5 days from sunday to thursday at Swissotel at Raffles City feeling important in my neatly ironed long sleeved shirt and nicely tied ties, ushering big shots from all over South East Asia, and making sure that their walk from the front porch to their rooms are as smooth as possible.

It was quite an experience, sure it was boring at times where I spent hours at MPH reading hellgate and motor culture, and at the holding room sleeping. Sure it was exhausting cause I had to wake up at unearthly hours to reach the hotel at 0700, and only left the place after 2130, exhausted. However, I had to learn and experience some cool stuff like having free meals at the Equinox and Marketplace Cafe, and also seeing how the different armies from the various countries interact with each other. For example, subordinates from all the countries except Singapore were really scared and timid around their superiors, even a 2 star general was scared in the midst of a 3 star one. Only our COA looked fit. haha.

To end ACAMM off with a big bang, we chilled at Timbre and played lan after that, cool stuff.
