Back from "Overseas"

Hi all... thanks for waiting so long for my updates.

I just came back from "overseas"... well, not actually from other country but instead, people from other countries came for a visit. They came here for a meeting over at Microsoft Malaysia.

We had an event, a hospitality event to be exact whereby we will be the team of people who arrange their meals, accommodation, meeting venues, transportation and etc... it was totally a very exciting and fun experience for me as I get to meet people from The States, China, Singapore, Thailand, Australia, New Zealand and not to forget Koreans. All of them are very friendly and cheerful. Although most of them are in higher management level like CEO, CFO and Presidents, they are very down to earth and very appreciative. Since the very first day I met them, they never stop saying "Thank You". I really like the smiles on their faces, it really relief all the tiredness that we had.

On Sunday, we went to watch the F1 Final at Sepang Circuit. It was my first F1 experience (though I used to stud and work 10km away from it)! The only thing that I dislike is the weather and the temperature. It is as though you were thrown into an oven! Yet, all the F1 fans were still very energetic! They waved their team flags, shouted, clapped their hands and even danced!

It was indeed a wonderful experience being the Hospitality Team for the event. Seeing them expressing their happiness on their face really made the entire team feel appreciated! We felt very happy when they are too as we know, we did something great for them! Some of them are here for the very first time. It was fun when they are facinated with our local delicacies like Beef Rendang, Coconut Dodol and many more. They love the Beef Rendang so much they cant stop eating it!

Oh yeah, we are indeed very proud of ourselves too because we manage to introduced our local culture (Chinese, Indian and Malay) to them in form of food and cultural performances. They were given a chance to enjoy cultural performances at one of the dinner venue. Some of them even went up the stage and dance with the dancers!

Most of them have checked out by now... The Koreans are one bunch of friendly people. Although there is language gap, we manage to express what we meant and we can understand what they want.

Will tell you more about the event in my next post.... gotta sleep now... dizzy... haha...
