The long week..

This week has been a long one for me. Having lectured in the KKPP Group at RH Sibu, the eight hour stint was real engaging. The 39 participants Adeline managed to group were energetic, super active and contributing. This is the first KKPP group that ever printed their T-Shirt with IAB logo and their group's identity. Beautiful they were, red on black! Last night the group organised a special dinner which I and Adeline attended. It was a very well organised decent dinner from a KKPP group so far throughout the country!
The committee formed organised several interactive social activities during the dinner. Everyone made a fair contribution from some number for the Karaoke to balloon blowing.
Need to stress a point here!


After checking in at Tang Dynasty Kota Kinabalu 21 April 2009, I was left with barely 25 minutes to enter the lecture hall where 35 participants of Organisational Behaviour Course were waiting. Thanks to Dr. Abang Hut who managed the course, and like Adeline, managed to gather substantive number of course participants from all division in Sabah. I lectured for six hours, relieved of the night two-hour slot as all participant preferred only day lecture. It was hot and dry in KK for the past week I was told, and having endured the heat, the night was as forgiving as a mild winter in Perth.

I took the last flight from KK to Sibu 22 April. The Fokker aircraft was providing the the ten passengers a very luxurious journey! However, being too comfortable with the ample space, I left a bag with a pair of golf shoes! I only realised about the baggage which I placed in the cabin when returning from late night super with my nephew. Thanks to the excellent service of the lost-and-found department of the airline. I received the call from Sibu office that my left luggage was ready for collection at 11.00 am the following day; thanks to Sdr Ismail (Mas Sibu Airport) and Ms Hamimah (MAS Kuching Airport). That served as a great relief as I was due for Eastwood Valley Miri for Saturday Golfing with some colleagues from Brunei.
