It was a wonderful program created for students in Asia and Oceania region. I was really lucky to be able to meet amazing friends from Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Philippine, China, Korea, Australia, Indonesia, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Taiwan, and ofcourse from my own country Malaysia.
You guys are the best! I had the best time in my life spent with you guys.
