Something lost and something found....

So the big meeting is over, and my big presentations are over.

First, a couple of downers
- the traffic in KL - 1.5 hours on the first day to get to official dinner... i was about to chew my seat for food! and then followed by 2 hours back and forth from Bangsar on 2nd day to get to Miss M's swing class....good lord!
- left my handphone in KL. Grrrr. the cost is one thing, but the sheer inconvenience of dealing with being disconnected, and transferring all the numbers, is what's most annoying. Although it's probably scary how much of an unbilical cord the blackberry is now....

The much much more exciting uppers (is that even the proper use of the word?)
- presentations went unbelievably, exceptionally, amazingly well. 5 different countries asked me for my presentations, and i got tons of "good job", "congratulations", "impressive" comments during the last 3 days.

The best part of it all? It's not everyday that the WORLDWIDE COO of your company stands up at the end of your presentation and says that it was a best practice for everyone to learn from, and says it to all the Asia Managing Directors in the room. And it's not everyday that he mentions your name twice during his closing remarks, using your name as an example of how it's important for company to bring in outside talent selectively to challenge and stretch the company's thinking. Wow. All i know is i left the room smiling :)

Ok, enough shoulder patting and self-congratulations. Time to go running.

Update : Just got a sms that they found my handphone! And i'll get it back on Sunday!

Ajantis is way way way too connected (or addicted) to the digital world....
