"Live" from Istanbul

Current local time in Istanbul, Turkey: 2.12am (5 hours behind Singapore and Malaysia time)

Greetings from Istanbul, Turkey!

Didn't really have the time to update my blog. I've been quite busy attending sessions and sessions and more sessions in the Asia Pacific Growth Network's (APGN) pre-conference meeting... Shirley, the Director of AP named it as the AP family reunion! Woohoo! It's good to see familiar faces whom I've met during AP Member Committee Transition Camp (which was held in Penang in May 2007) and people whom I've not met. Just for your information, there are a total of 18 countries in the APGN. So yeah, I've met delegates from these countries! The meeting is officially ended and it signifies the beginning of the International Congress (IC) 2007! Woohoo!!!

we managed to do a bit of travelling before the conference started. These are some of the pictures we've taken during our trip...

There are simply way too many pictures that I would like to share with you... But I really have to sleep now as tomorrow's session starts at 8.30am!!! And before I leave, I just want to say that I really miss Asian food! Been eating cheese and bread for breakfast everyday... I mean the same breakfast ok? Can't imagine myself eating the same old breakfast for the next 10 days...

Nasi lemak, satay, nasi padang, noodles, mamak food... Argh!!! I soooo miss these food...

Ok... time to go... take care and I'll try to post more pictures!
