Finally after almost 5 months of hard work, the Intervarsity Speech Contest is finally over and it was a delightful moment when we can finally say “It’s a wrap”!
The event was very smooth with only some minor hiccups – nothing too major cropped up, we only overran by about 20 minutes, basically everything proceeded pretty well. The only down side was that the weather wasn’t really good, and it was raining quite a fair bit. I think because of that the turnout suffered a bit. That said, we still had 596 ticket-holding audience came in, and about another 40-odd guests. It was great to see the floor of the AC Hall full again!
The best thing that happened in the contest was of course BU winning the overall championship! It was a very very tight contest, but ultimately our judges ruled in BU’s favour – to the delight of everyone associated with the University!
I think all the hard work that has gone into the contest has been rewarded for all of us, not just because BU has won the overall championship, but more importantly, we upkept the performance of last year and organized a great contest this time round. Of course the efforts of my dear colleagues and all the lovely student helpers were important, and without them the contest definitely wouldn’t have been as smooth-sailing. But most importantly, I think I must thank God for watching over the contest and gave His blessings to everyone associated with the contest – my colleagues, the student helpers, the guests, the participants, the audience. It’s His marvel that we had a very good event, and I must thank the greatest organizer of the event – God!
To Lord be the Glory!
