Busy weeks

the long gap in the entry is due to the busy past 2 weeks. on the 7th of June went to KL. i was upposed to attend the 21st Asia Pacific Academy of Ophthalmology Congress (APAO) in Singapore which began on the 10th of June, got confused about the dates. arrived in KLIA, presented my tickets and the staff was dumb founded, asked did i confirm my tickets. i was also puzzled by the query since i endeed had confirmed. finally revealed i came to the airport a day earlier!

anyway arrived in the Lion City at 2.00 pm checked in at Conrad Centennial Park Hotel. registered myself at the congress with a little delay since they couldn't find my name and whether i had cleared through the payments.

anyway, all hustle was cleared, i went to the exhibition, looked at booths with very simple displays. not quite what i expected. further enquiry led me to know that this congress which was hosted by our neighbouring country was a very expensive affair with exorbitant charges. no wonder the companies were screeching through, but still they managed...

moreover, learned from some trusted resources, they even refused to let Malaysians pay in Sing dollars, insisted on US Dollars! when were host last year, the Singaporeans got special discount, they were paying in ringgit!
that's something huh.... the difference of our ways..
