SGAM 19th Annual Conference
So glad I’m finally home now.
Never really been particularly fond of Genting Highland as a place to hang out and to my further dismay, this business trip really didn’t help much to change my impression towards it. Genting was extremely crowded with all sort of people, gamblers aplenty and also family with kids and we were constantly forced to walk behind those notorious "slow walkers" amidst the crowd. Only if you can imagine how frustrated that can be! 
Dinner at Torcelli in Genting Theme Park.
I was there for the Share Guide Association Malaysia 19th Annual Conference for 3 days 2 nights where Microsoft was the platinum sponsor. We were given accommodation at First World Hotel which was totally crappy. The room amenities were too basic to mention and it didn’t look anything more than 2-3 star. Sound proof was bad, it was so noisy throughout we hardly slept well. Food was also nothing to shout about even though we were dining at some decent restaurants such as Torcelli.
My colleagues, Patrick and Poh Sze

The only place to get internet access there is Starbucks. We were working there every night till the wee hours.
I guess it’s the exhaustion that I came home grumpy and sick.

But lodging and food aside, the conference was nonetheless a fruitful trip a I’ve gained some ICT knowledge from the partners and networking with some senior personnel in the FSI industry. Also met my ex-boss ( a great mentor) and some ex-clients there.

Received an unexpected SMS at 10pm from some MNC big shot just now which kinda thrown me off guard.
But what they say is true:
God is fair, he will make it up to you for things that you’ve lost.
I’m taking this very positively.
But on a well-being note, with my extremely hectic schedule in the past few weeks I’m now down with sore throat, mouth ulcer, chapped lips and a sprouting pimple.
Have to be at office tomorrow at 7.30am for yet again another enterprise event.
*yawn*
Good night pals.
