5th QS-APPLE: Conference Dinner

25.11.2009 (Wednesday)
The conference dinner was held in Ballroom 1, Level 3, KLCC. At first, we, as the student helpers of the conference were supposed not "listed" in attending the dinner. Somehow, the managing director of the 5th QS-APPLE, Mandy Mok invite us to join the dinner as well. And, we all were glad to here it. However, "case" happen and we supposed need to go back to 12th college on time to have our dinner there. After a couple of negotiating, we managed to join and share the merry of the dinner.

We all were asked to sit together among all those delegates. Being lucky or unlucky, i sat next to a vice reactor (aka vice cancellor) from XXX University. As Malaysia be the host of the event and as a Malaysian, i have to show my enthusiasm. At first, i really don't know what to chat with this VIP so that he won't feel bored sit alone there. After finish one topic and quickly need to think of another topic to talk with. Sometimes, i really feel hard to understand and hear what he try to say. But, overall still can be considered as well-interaction with the delegates. When i ask him what field of his expertise, OMG!! he is same field with me - GENETIC.
