IAG April Forum - Final Day 3 and 4

Day 3 and 4 - Dinner and with K.A.R.A.O.K.E!

The third night, we took the delegates to Tamarind Spring, a traditional Indochinese Village-type of cuisine that won many industry accolades and topped many gastronomes’ scoreboards. Tamarind Spring is also renowned for its lush sensuous appeal. As it was also yours truly's first experience in this beautiful serene restaurant, my first impression of it was : "OMG!" (which stands for "oh my God" by the way). Our ride stopped us infront of the restaurant and we had to walk a few flight of big stoned-steps towards the wooden-looking restaurant. I thought I was in Bali. And I thought I was in for SPA!

The food was all right. However, most importantly, our guests felt special and were able to enjoy the variety and difference in food and environment on their 3rd day here in Kuala Lumpur with us.




The fourth and final night was more of a crazy-and-let-loose kinda party. Us, committees thought of plans on how to end the conference/ trip/ holiday (however you wanna call it) with a big bang. What more than introducing our traditional, favourite, Malaysian past time activity - KARAOKE?!

As many Malaysians think that they can sing, karaoke has been an integral part of their lives. With a little bit of beer, liquor, wine and MORE wine, we got the guests to join in the singing session during the dinner. Some were shy at first, but when the night wore on, 3 microphones seemed not enough for us all....

David did it the "Chinese" way

Brenda and Lorraine captured on a mobile video?! I wonder if its on You Tube now?
Lubov and David didn't miss a beat! They truly enjoyed themselves as well!

Representing the Swiss, the Canadian, and the Mexican: Oliver, Patrick and Rodrigo
harmonizing in their "manly" voice.

A normal beer mug must have been too small for Rodrigo.
He rather drink it all from the jug itself??!

A real talent emerged that night - my partner-in-crime from the Borneo island


The ever so popoular hit song Y.M.C.A was the best highlight of the night
as we danced to the tune all night long!






Guess, that's it from yours truly here from Kuala Lumpur. IAG Forum April 2010 was indeed a spectacular one! It will be a conference that none can forget (we hope!) and a conference where friendships were found and made irregardless of colour, irregardless of race, irregardless of which continent you are from.

See you next time in Paris, this November!
