Too many things happening
My favourite quote is, "twenty-four hours in a day is not enough". Take just one working day, in no particular order, we sleep for eight hours. Total time in the shower, in the toilet and grooming for the whole day, another two hours. Three meals a day takes about three hours. Daily commuting from home to the office vice versa another 2 hours. Work = 8 hours.
And we are left with one hour to do the groceries, do the laundry, mow the lawn, wash the car, read the newspaper, watch the news, smoke a cigar, bake a cake, read a book, catch a movie, feed the cats, walk the dog, blog, do the dishes, cook, drink coffee, paint the town red.
Forget about it. Im babbling.
The first East Asia Congress was a success, with numerous issues being discussed at the round table. I was lucky enough to be a delegate throughout the session. At the end of which, I managed to congratulate the CEO of ISIS Malaysia, the organization that is responsible for the congress. He thanked us for coming and reminded us of next year's event. From the glow of his eyes and his anticipation, next year's event will be bigger.
The congress talked among other things about building the east asian community, the need for Asia Monetary Fund, free trade etc. Some of the presentation can be downloaded from the East Asia Congress site.
However, in my opinion, they missed out a few important areas in their discussion, which include science and technology, the environment and defense. Then again, there's always next year.
