Spent my money on the International Conference on Environmental Research and Technology (ICERT), a 3 days event at Parkroyal Hotel, Penang. Never attended something like this before, never imagined one day i will attend this type of function. I was so anxious at first but kind of enjoying it after blending in to the event. Saw something never ever thought of, meet a lot of new people, widened myself with things and people.
Very impressive on the key-note speaker, especially Dr. Klaus. What he mentioned actually lightened me all of a sudden. Questions raised by the floor member made me think a lot. The money that paid for the conference was really worth because i got something back that cannot be measured with money value.
Met quite a lot of international researchers and spent days with them really changes me. I have followed them to do some crazy stuff such as wearing totally formal but took out my high heels and walked along the beaches at sunset. Salty tasted wind blew all over me, planted my feet into the sand so that i wouldn't be pulled away by the strong waves. The sound of waves hitting the shore were so mind pleasing. I so wish that i could be staying there all day long, do some crazy act in the sea water, hugged by the not-so-clear sea water, enjoy the mouth watering food and the beauty of the shore line, perhaps enjoy the night market too.
A money worth conference and i think will made me changed in thinking.
