On 18 Dec Friday, it was the last day of company visits in China for iLEAD. We had a discussion session at 7pm with pizza dinner, and sharing about our experiences and lessons learnt from the two-week OSM, and how it impacted our entrepreneurial aspirations. =) Listening to all my friends in i4 as well as the Alumni share their experiences helped me recall and reaffirm the lessons learnt throughout this trip as well. I’m glad we all pulled through together despite how tiring it was and how rushed we were from one company to another.

After the sharing, we had the CEOS join us and the Alumni screened the i4 OSM video which they put together for us. It was full of funny shots and wonderful memories; I know friendships have been forged in this group that will last for a long time to come. Right after the video, we presented the CEOS with the token of appreciation that we got for them: Paper cuttings of their faces with a message from us. Sharon was so touched that she cried.. I’m glad we had the opportunity to work with them. They have done an amazingly wonderful job of coordinating all the visits and every detail for the entire trip, even to sacrificing sleep just to ensure that things are in order, and being flexible when there were changes to be made. ^.^ Thank you CEOS!

Then it was time for the Christmas Gift Exchange which many of us were busy shopping for in the afternoon. :o) We had to guess who was the giver of our gifts and those who couldnt had to do the chicken dance thingy. o.0 Good thing I could guess that the person who gave me a gift was Hussein (He Ze Dong)!~ Lol. Thanks for the hairband and earring rack, Hussein! ^.^ Finally when all the gifts were unwrapped and thanks were exchanged, we took group photos to wrap up the night.

Thank you for the wonderful memories iLead!~
