Sabah International Expo (SIE) 2008

On 14 October 2008, I went to work as usual. Thought of going out for breakfast with my colleague Sharon but suddenly my office phone rang. It was Fauziah my collegue in KK's office. She asked me what time is the last flight to KK. I told her 9:50pm. Then, she asked me again the flight before 9:50pm. Again I told her 12:10 noon. Then, the shocked news was..."you have to catch the 12:10 noon flight to KK today. Boss wanted to have a briefing about the SIE 2008 in the afternoon. We were told that the expo will start tomorrow. He totally forgot about you on duty", she said. I was like huh??? "Are you sure boss wanted me to come today?". "Yes Gay. You have to come today. I'll asked Mitch to booked your flight ticket now". "Ok. Tell me ASAP when the flight is confirm coz I have to pack my things ASAP too". "Ok." Then, I went out from my office to tell the other staffs at the counter. Bla..bla..bla..bla..I manage to released my burden in the toilet when I heard my office phone rang. Quickly I washed & cleaned everything and went out. Sharon told me that Mitch called to tell that my ticket was confirmed. I rushed into my room and get my laptop & handbag & say goodbye to my collegue at the counter. They begged me to buy Big Apple Donut for them...but I didnt promise anything...lalalala...It was 9 something already. I drove as fast as I could. Reached home & started to packed my things..After finished packing, I drove back to the office to get something & managed (without force) to asked Joe to send me to the airport from Financial Park. I drove my car to the Financial Park & searched for a parking. Then, I rushed up to buy Ginger Wine for my mum, Ritzer Sport Chocolates for Gina & Black Premium Cigarette for Mitch. After a short shopped, I went to the Bank Rakyat to wait for Joe to send me to the airport...hurgh..I managed to catch the 12:10 noon flight but it was delayed for 20 minutes so I reached KKIA around 1pm..Hubby picked me up from the airport & sent me direct to the office. Ate the leftover Hari Raya Lunch in the meeting room & chit chat with the rest collegue. After the briefing (which was near 4pm), boss asked few of the officers (including me) to follow him to 1 Borneo to check our booth...bla..bla..bla...I ended up resting nearly 11pm at hubby's house..

Here are some photos taken during my visit to the booth (14 Oct 2008) & during my duty for 3 days (15-17 Oct 2008) at SIE 2008....
