This week had been a busy week. I spent most of my time at the Hilton for APPF. I was only assisting the Drafting Committee, and I felt sorry for this one particular member for he was the only member for 7 small group's drafting committees to participate for the finalisation of the drafts out of 10 to 15 participating member delegates from Indonesia. I guess he was a little bit upset since he was the only one “struggling” in defending the drafted resolution proposed by the delegation, yet there was nothing much he could do. It seemed like the members were not very enthusiastic in attending the Forum. Some are busy with the rice pooling at the Steering Committee, and I heard certain individual decided not to participate for (s)he was not getting along with certain other individual. A very emotionally unstable person. Well I guess some were there just for the allowance.


Most of our drafted resolutions are adopted. I remember the movie The Girl in the Café since I assisted the committee on poverty alleviation and Millennium Development Goals. It’s a story of a hard-working, shy civil servant, Lawrence, and his life-changing relationship with a mysterious girl whom he meets in a café opposite Downing Street. He takes her on a romantic mini-break - to the G8 Summit. Set against the backdrop of a G8 Summit Meeting, in Reykjavik, Iceland - where Lawrence is one of the British delegation. The film follows both the growing love story between two shy outsiders and the progress of the G8 summit, until the two become dramatically, comically and inevitably entwined.
