Interesting people..

Earlier today was browsing through my files on my PC and found pictures that I’ve taken masa kat Busan last year. Busan was the first event yang I pegi that involves a major conference. Penat jugak la ke hulu hilir. Nak naik teksi mahal.. asyik jalan kaki je ke sana sini.. Makan pun susah.. memang senang la nak loss weight..

Anyway, during this Busan trip, ni la rasanya my workshop yang paling ramai participant yang have colourful characters..

Ni dia tengah set up kamera kat ILO- Director-General's Press Conference

This one, nama dia Tsewang (pronounce Cewang) Dendup– from Bhutan.. Tsewang ni memang kelakar orangnya..mulut becok habis.. Yang kelakarnya.. ada satu malam tu.. dia lepak-lepak kat kaki lima hotel dengan si Ana (Philippines).. Tiba-tiba a group of Koreans agaknya mabuk.. ingat dia Korean film star kot, datang nak amik gambar dengan dia.. lepas tu bagi duit banyak plak tu kat dia for the photos.. pelikkan..Dia mati-mati tolak.. tapi diaorang letak jugak dalam poket dia..Tak pasal-pasal dapat duit extra..

Chandana tengah interview one of Sri Lanka's Labour Minister

Ni plak Chandana dari Sri Lanka, Chandana ni memang baik orangnya.. tapi yang tak tahan tu, masa kitaorang kluar shopping (the only time pun, sebab esoknya dah nak balik), dia pegi beli payung untuk wife dia.. Kitaorang semua gelak bagai nak pecah perut.. yela.. jauh-jauh datang sampai Korea, bawak balik payung yg boleh beli kat mana2 pun. I told him that he should ask for our opinion kalau tak tau nak beli apa for the wife..Kat Busan tu.. accessories for women memang banyak sebab Koreans kan memang fashion conscious..Dia kata accessories tu semua kat Sri Lanka pun boleh jumpa.. Abih tu-- payung tak boleh jumpa ke???? Confius akak.. Anyway, during the second workshop kat Hong Kong, tanya dia whether wife dia suka tak payung tu.. as expected, wife dia pun confius jugak apsal la beli payung??? Moral of the story.. tu husband-husband yang pegi overseas tu, balik jgn la beli payung k..

Ni gambar almost everyone in the group -- minus a few people.. dari kanan ke kiri (belakang) Munshi (Bangladesh), Chandana (Sri Lanka), Narayan (Nepal), Geoffrey (Fiji), Laiq (Pakistan), Kenmada (Indonesia), Gary (HKG), Tsewang (Bhutan) and Mr Ramesh Agrawal (India)

Yang depan plak.. me.. Ana (Philippines), Monica (M'sia-RTM) & Daniela (Australia)

Mr Agrawal plak from India.. very elderly gentleman.. time makan aja, mesti ada dia offer akak makan sesama supply ration dia.. Almaklumla, dia vegetarian..memandangkan awak pun tak boleh nak cari proper food kat sana, makanya awak pun jadi la vegetarian.. Kesian kitaorang , asyik makan salad, jagung rebus, kacang2 plus of course ada la bawak ration dari Malaysia kan.. kalau tidak mana tahan.. Lagi satu Mr Agrawal ni memang terkenal dengan jokes/riddle nye.. Bila kita ramai-ramai sembang.. dia pun start la dia punye riddle.

Yang lain-lainnye.. tengok je la caption ye..

The geng menunggu bas nak gi shopping.. Kitaorang naik bas je sebab nak naik teksi mahal sangat..The one in white coat is Reza from Iran. And behind in green is Kenny - our secondment staff seconded by KBS, Korea.
