Back to reality

Just got back home last night after spending ten days in a hotel for the 17CCEM. The whole thing was wonderful but tiring because of the tight schedule. I was always on the move and got to go to bed only at around two everyday.

I had the privilege to be assigned with the delegates from the Kingdom of Lesotho. I met many new friends from around the world and also friends I have not met for many many years. I even met a classmate from my school days whom I have not seen for 25 years! Imagine that...

Really enjoyed being chauffeured around for the duration of the conference..hehe, and of course being in the motorcade with the outrider who helped to clear the roads for us. It was never easy when there were more than 40 ministers and delegates from more than 40 countries being escorted around. I have the utmost respect for the outriders now that I know how difficult the job is and also for the bravery that they displayed. Although one rider had to take care of 'only' 3 cars, I could see it took great skills on his part to smoothen the ride for us.

I would also like to take this opportunity to apologise to the drivers in Kuala Lumpur who had to endure the massive traffic jam that we created the whole of this week. For those whose vehicle was dented in the process and who panicked and froze in the middle of the roads when asked to move aside, please ask your friends about the actions to take. Better still, ask a driving school about it. And for those hard-headed ones, serve you right la...

In a nutshell, it was a very educating experience and I liked it a lot. But nothing beats being at home with the family. And I have got to update myself with what is happening at LFC...
