It is hard to forget this roadshow because it started with a crisis once we have landed. A colleague of mine who is responsible for the shipment of the brochures have accidentally sent the wrong boxes to the venue. We have specifically prepared 600 nicely printed event programmes for the one-week roadshow, but we do not have the programme booklet on the first stop. I simply got a heart attack last evening.
My EQ was so good that i managed to make a very good lie to my client, while i did not scold my colleague. She almost cried in front of me because she knows this is such a BIG mistake. I know this is also a test for me.
Even though we had organized the roadshow in KL for so many times (2003, 2007, 2009 & 2011), the pace of the people working there do not change a bit at all - SLOW. It's really hard to move someone or something from one place to another. It took us 1 hour to wait for the boxes to be delivered to the exact location we want. That's frustrating even though I have a very low expectation and many unahppy experiences in the past. It's just really a waste of time, and i hate it.
Alright, when we have found a solution for the crisis, another bad news hit me - earthquake in central Java. There was so little information this morning, so everyone was panicking. I have to ask around for news, contact the hotel in Jakarta for update and alert my client while i am about to start my KL event opening speech. The stress is enormous today and i had never felt so tired after event. Thanks god the last two days are over!
Staying at Shangri-la Hotel KL with a view of the Twin Towers. I love the free wifi at the club floor so i am connected with family and friends. Wonderful.
first night dinner at room after handling the crisis. I always like caesar salad. 
Before we are heading to Jakarta tomorrow, we had a local dinner at Twins Towers - Little Panange Kafe. It's OK, but not excellent. Afterall, Malaysian food are not too interesting.
