The BizmSg committee is entering the gth year in tlTU CIDAC. BizmSg hadbeen actively svpporting ODAC 3 major events, namely Adventvre TrailChallenge (ATC), Pvmpfest, and Freshman Overseas Orientation Trip(FOOT) in sovrcing of sponsorships, packing of goodie bags, helping ovtas officials and even as participants for a few of ovr events. BizmSg wasthe organising cornmittee for itTU ODAC Family Day. This year's commit-tee kickstarted the f irst event for ODAC svbcommittee members toget together to bond and witness ovr family spirit thovgh the event" lna nvtshell, EizmSg is all abovt finding that balance between both in-doors and the ovtdoors.

Bizm&g committee consists of 2 special project officers and 43 bvsi-ness liaison officers, starting the work year with ovr svbcommitteetrip to Lata Medang, to introdvce what ODAC is all abovt to avr newmembers. We actively participated in other ODAC e.vents svch as movn-tain biking, Camp0vt, Paddles Up, Fvn Clirnb dvring Pvmpfest, and StepU?, a dry rvn for ATC.

Ovr motto has always been Contact, Connect and Collect. Contact, re-ferring to emailing to ovr sponsors for ovr events. Connect, negotiat-ing and f orming partnerships with sponsors. Collect, collating of goodiebag items for ovr three events to mark the end of ovr work year.

This work year has brovght abovt many friendships and allowed the f or3-in9 of close bonds throvghovt the committee. )tle have had the opportv-nity to work on ovr interpersonal skills and commvnications with spon-sors. All in all, we had great fvn and conclvded the entire year with anincned ible exp erience.

TO LEAVE THE HUSTLE OF CITY LIFE. TO EMBRA(E THE GREATER OUTDOORS.

TREKKING (HALLENGES ONE PHYSIMLLY AND IIENTALLY. IT ilN BE A HIGHLY REWARDINC A(TIVITY, BUT

TO REAP ITS REh/ARDS, ONE HAS TO PUT IN IHE EFFORT. SOIIE TRIPS IIAY TAKE ONE THROUGH PRECARI-

YET, ONE IS NOT ALONE ON THIS JOURNEY. WITH THE SUPPORT OF TEAIIIIATES, TREKKERS DEVELOP

BONDS THAT LAST A LIFETIIIE. AT THE END OF IT, TREKKING IS NOT JUST A PHYSIGL UNDERTAKING, ITIS ALSO AS I1U(H ABOUT fiI1ARADERIE AND PERSONAL IIIPROVEIIENT.

AFTER ALL, IT IS NOT THE I1OUNTAIN h/E CONOUER BUT OURSELVES.
