It is nice being invited to give lectures. Today, the Society of Social Workers and ACCESS consulting agency invited me to deliver a talk on crisis management. I was replacing my boss since he was not around. So I made my way to Trolak Country Resort from Ampang Jaya at 8.38 pm. At about 10pm I reached Slim River. Paying the toll, I made my way into Slim River town for the first time in my life....actually I was looking for the GIRO ATM machine since I did not have time to withdraw money earlier. It was a small town. There were rows of old shophouses with Chinese owners mainly.
After getting money from the GIRO, I stopped at a Nasi Kandar restaurant and had mee goreng and teh tarik. Subsequently I went to the resort which was about 15km away from the restaurant. I missed the junction, turned back and finally reached the resort only to be horrified upon realizing that I left my laptop at the restaurant. I sped 140kph back to the restaurant and thank God, it was kept by the cashier. I thanked them and made my way back to the resort.
I presented the lecture on Crisis Management and it went well. At the end of lecture, I was given RM 100. I checked into my room and 15 minutes later, there was a knock on the door. The organizing committee sent the secretriat people to pass me another envelope containing another RM 100. They apparently were very happy with my lecture.
