Malaysia Global Business Forum-Bosnia (Part 3: The Closed Door Forum)

After enjoying my time so much with Anne, David and Hazrita the night before, we had the task to woke up very early in the morning to attend the Closed Door Session with Tun Mahathir by invitation only. As you could notice that, we went there at first as the media, and then, we were part of the organizer, as what Anne said.

The closed door session was cool. Media were not allowed to come in, only observers and ministry were allowed to be in. So, Fahriee, Cyril, Norman and me were no more a media as we were allowed to be in. Anne said, we were one of the organizers. So, we were there, and before they start the closed door session, we were there to help Anne and others.

It was a pleasure for us to help her. We were called to be in the secretariat room to help Jane to fold table-tags names for the VVIP and those who participates. We even had a discussion with Dr. Sam regarding who is important and who is going to sit here and there. Thank God Dr. Sam was there with us and helped us to handle all those thing. I even took photo with his book regarding the pyramids in Bosnia which was then given to Tun. See, I was the first to hold and touch the book before being handed to Tun. Yayy! Settled that, those who were invited were allowed to come in.

Done with the arrival of Tun and H.E President, the event then started with the speeches given by Tun himself and H.E President too. Which then ended where H.E President left the hall. And all media were chased out. Because it was a closed session, and I guess, no ones allowed to bring what’s discussed inside to outside. The Q & A was a bit okay. And it lasted not that long which we could see that we then ended the session. Tun and other VVIPs were tagged along the media who waited outside, and were brought to see the exhibition on each of every booth.

All of us then were asked to go to Four Points by Sheraton to have our lunch there. Came with Cyril and me in one car were Anne and David. They both are hilarious. They were so funny in the car. Love them both! While in Fahriee’s car were Jane and her husband. While Norman brought Diong with him to the hotel.

We reached there safely and immediately headed to the Rainforest Hall to have our seats. From the status of one of the organizers, we were seated at the Bosnia-Herzegovina Entourage. The arrival of Tun and his wife, H.E President and Sarawak’s Chief Minister and others a few minutes after we arrived. The event started with the speech given by Tun.

I could say, Tun is funny. He looks thin and honestly, he looks unwell. But the speech he gave during the lunch was fun. it was funny when he said something like, he does not know who is he presenting off. If it’s Sarawak, they were the Chief Minister of Sarawak coming to present Sarawak. He is not presenting Malaysia as he is not a Prime Minister anymore. And he said, he maybe presenting the owner of the Four Points by Sheraton Hotels, even Ting Pek Khing were also coming. Tun was funny. During the whole speech given by him, it was a lot more to funny things. People laughed and laughed listening to what he said.

The event then being continued with the exchanging memorandum between Bosnian Delegates in Business and Malaysian Delegates in Business. When it’s done,we were served with food. And it was damn so good! It’s nice. and YUMMMMMMYYYYYY!!!!!! I enjoyed the food especially the dessert which was the mango fruit. It’s simple but nice. I like! ;P

While eating, few things happened such as the cake cutting between the Defense Minister of Bosnia and Foreign Minister of Bosnia who shares the same birthday. It was a surprise for both of them, and I think Norman should join them too, as Norman shares birthday with them. Done that, all the VVIPs were leaving for the press conference which we thought they left to leave Kuching. We talked and enjoyed the atmosphere, and being the last who left the hall. went upstairs and saw Lilyana and she got to see us.

What happened then? We all (excluding Norman) were agreed to tour her around Kuching and accompany her to buy Kek Lapis Sarawak. We brought her to MBKS (cat museum) to see all scenes from above of Kuching. We brough her to Bing coffee and introduced to her Kuching very own Starbucks. LOL we introduced to her everything surrounding even the public buses. She said, she might be coming down to Kuching again to see STB regarding the RWMF @ 2010. She is one of the editor for Time Out Kuala Lumpur magazine, and interested to cover RWMF event 2010. Hope she could come soon, as I love being around her. She talks so smooth and polite. I like!  and she said, I am too tiny! LOL

Done that, we brought her back to hotel. And was informed by Anne that we missed the chances to take photos with Tun as she sent her to the airport few minutes before we arrived. She was looking for us so that we could take photos with Tun, but unfortunately, we were not there. But Norman got his photo with Tun,and I am so jealous with that. Never mind, I have my photo with Robert Pattinson’s twin. :P
