It has been a while since I last updated my blog... Been away from 4th June till yesterday. Let me briefly share the things that I've gone through these past few days...
4th June
I woke up earlier that usual. I would be going with Kak Ano and she planned to drop me off at any Monorail or LRT station so that I can continue my journey to KL Central. We used Jalan Tun Razak and Kak Ano dropped me off. Paid 2.50 for the fare to KL Sentral.
Went to Warong Kita to have breakfast and just as I was starting to have it, Gan called asking my whereabout. She joined me but didn't eat anything since she has just taken hers.
Later we bought the KLIA express ticket and went down to Level 1. We reached KLIA at almost 10 and went up to level 5. Gan went to the ladies and I withdrew some money. Later we went to a book store and browsed for story book. A few days ago, while searching for Reaching the Star book, I read the review for The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Sun by Khaled Hosseini. Eventually, Gan was looking for The Kite Runner and I was attracted to get A Thousand Splendid Sun. We came to an agreement that Gan would buy one and so did I and we will exchange after we have read ours.
We boarded the plane at 11.30 but sat separately. I spent the first hour sleeping and the second one reading the story book.
We arrived at Kota Kinabalu nearly 3.00pm. It was a nice scenery from the plane. The airport was just beside the sea and it was picturesque. We took a taxi and went straight to Le Meridien.
Gan was informed that her room was not ready so we decided to go to the Filipino Market. They have a lot of crafts and their specialty, pearls. It was so interesting looking at all the jewelleries. Gan bought a set of necklace and bracelet for over RM 100.00.
Later we registered to the secretariat and I was so shocked to know that though I have made it clear that I am only presenting at Sabah, my name appeared at all the three places. We then went to our room and decided to just settle in.
5th June
The conference started at 8.00 am. Dato' Noor Rezan Bapoo Hashim's speech was splendid. Gan will be presenting this morning and I am to present tomorrow. Yesterday I met Dr. Faizah and her presentation is also today.
I saw a few PKK lecturers but later was even happier to know that 19 of them ( which means all ) were in Le Meridien for the conference.They said they were happy because it was seldom that they got to see somebody from polytechnic present paper at conferences.
That evening we went to Pasar Malam and I bought several bracelets, brooches and baju melayu buttons for my family. I bought a set of necklace and bracelet for Kak Ya. I thought of buying for myself but thinking about how seldom I used them, cancelled the idea.
The participants and presenters were invited for a dinner sponsored by Sabah Ministry of Culture and Tourism. We had so much fun...Gan and Dr. Faizah joined them for their dance. I got some books for the lucky dip... Then we took photos...
6th June
I was so nervous because I'm presenting today. At 1.45pm I went to Gaya room and get everything ready. My session will be at 2.35pm...Later, a few people started to enter the room and by 2.40pm, the room was half full with spectators.
I started by introducing myself and telling them my experience in teaching and later on witht he actual presentation... Everything went well... Praise to Allah and I was so happy...
7th June
I'm leaving Kota KInabalu today. But I promised that some day I'll be back and I'm planning to bring the whole family together with me...
