I am attending Device gathering in Bangkok organised by my company. Took MAS flight, 2.05 hours of journer, no entertainment what so ever (no screen TV, no radio no nothing!) and the food was AWFUL! I chosed some sort of a flat noodles & black peppered beef. Honestly cold maggi mee taste a whole lot better! Twas a dissapointing experience!
Arrived at the Suvarnabhumi Airport yesterday afternoon 5pm. Weather was humid, rained a bit. Decided to take the public transportation because I had a feeling the traffic was bad & congested, it would take me more than an hour just to get to the hotel. So the train was a good option, several switching from train to monorail and a bit of a walk I reached to Sheraton hotel. It was a pretty good walk, I reckon I burned some calories along the way. But it was worth it, had a good glimpse of Bangkok after office hours, traffic was building up (not an unusual site since KL is no different at all!).
Just complete the 1st day of the conference...it was good. Met familiar Norwegian faces & make new friends from Pakistan and Thailand. Had a group dinner, Tom yam again but tonite was better than yesterday. It was at one of the impressive fusion restaurant but I am still hungry now cos' didn't had much then. Rice came later, tom yam was an appetizer...too shy to take too many mango & sticky rice dessert. But can't have much cos' they were serving duck and liver..and some beef stuff that obviously I couldn't touch. Fusion is not my thing though, the soft shell crabs doesn't taste as good as I expected...Anyhow it's all part of the experience.
Looking forward for tomorrow, hopefully another inspiring & fruitful event. I miss the kids..Thank God ibu ayah jumped in to fill up the gap! Feeling slightly bad cos' when I left the 3 kids are down with cough & flu. I know this is pretty taxing for ibu ayah..and haris...but don't worry kids, ibu coming home soon and I promise, I will make it up to you guys!
Sawadikap!
