Short time in KK

I was in Kota Kinabalu from 12 Aug untill 14 Aug 2009 for the International Conference of Chemical Engineering & Bioprocess Engineering 2009 inconjunction with 23rd SOMChE.

First day....
Since the room cleaning service at the Grand Borneo (where we stay) is so 'analytical' cleaning our room, we were not allowed to check in early. We had no choice unless to join the technical session at the conference. I was wearing jeans+MrATB-big-sweater, seating & listening to the presentation.**so unformal..!!malu gak..naseb baek dah mandi...ngeheeeheehee

Upon registration we received a carry bag packed with these stuffs
