RSCE-SOMChE 2008 in Kuala Lumpur

On 2nd-3rd Dec 2008, 15th Regional Symposium on Chemical Engineering (RSCE) will be held at Impiana Hotel & Spa, Kula Lumpur. I was requested by my mentor to participate in this event.

At the beginning, one of my colleagues will be my partner to joint this event as a poster presentation participant. The topic of poster presentation is about the job done by that colleague. I simply accepted this request as I can fully depend on that fellow. I think the god want to punish me because that fellow suddently called back by his scholarship and then he was resigned.

I had no choice to say not to my supervisor even I totally not really understand that project. I sacrificed my Deepavali holiday for preparing technical paper for that event. The organizer informed me that I can switch to presentation but I rejected it as I was not really involved in that project.

I think I was very blur on this matter. I totally don't know what RSCE is and how grand they are. I simply submited that technical paper without fill in any registration form and payment. Two week before, I started to prepare poster based on provided size from their website and send to printer shop for printing. The poster size is very big ( 100 cm W x 150 cm H) and costs me RM 150. Normally, I always give an answer of don't know when other asked me about this exhibition.

The poster was just simply printed before getting reviewed and acceptanced by organizer. How blur I am! One week before that event, they informed me that my paper has been reviewed and accepted to be published in their conference proceedings. Bad news is the poster size has been changed to 118.9 cm high x89.1 cm wide in portrait orientation.

Today, I just received email from them about changing the new size of poster (60.96 cm wide x 91.44 cm high). Oh my god! My poster will be special on that day because of the bigger size than other participants. I want to drill a hole to hide myself.

I start to surf internet to find more details of RSCE and find out that this event is grand. RM 750 needs to be paid for Malaysia Industrial participants. No wonder my managing director asked me when I should pay the registration fee. I just simply said i will pay it on the spot.

Actually, this is my second time of involving myself in poster presentation. I still remembered my first poster presentation was with my coursemate, Yee Chieh, in final year of university. Yee Chieh, I would like to say thank you very much on helping me on Q & A session.

My poster presentation was scheduled on 2nd Dec at 10.30 am to 11.00 am. You can visit and support me If you are near Impiana Hotel and free.

This weekend I will suffer on preparing the presentation script. If you were know me well, you will understand that Why I will get suffer. For you info, I have difficulty in pronunciation. I can't pronounce certain words properly no matter n time of hearing and practising. That causes me can't speak fluently english. Besides, one of the stepping-stone is my english. My english is super bad.

I wish everything will be fine on that day and I can answer any questions. Wish me luck.
