At 9.00 a.m., the delegates paid a courtesy call to the Consulate General office situated in the 4th floor of Hotel Sakura. Tuan Roseli, the Consulate General and his staff were there to welcome us. There are 5 Malaysian and 7 Chinese staff in the Consulate office. We spent about an hour there.

I have to leave the Consulate 15 minutes earlier to settle the Hotel and transportation bills.

We left the Consulate at 10 a.m. to Loisewan again for last minute shopping. Most of the delegates have not buy the things and souvenirs they need. We spent 2 hours here and by 12 p.m., we left to the airport. We arrived early. We hanging around and continuing shopping with the remaining RMB in the pocket. Off course the price here is expensive than Loisewan.

I have to managed the check in for the delegates. Hang Tuah Din bought a remote control helicopter for his son. He wonder that the item can be hand carry. I suggested that he put the item in the luggage. He did.

We came with 25 luggage and returned with 38 luggage! While I am busy sorting the check in with Ansor, Rozidi and Mona started the disturbance. They did last minute shopping and wanted to hand carry their goods. I could not control my anger and busted.

After the sorting complete, I advise them to put it with the luggage with "fragile" sticker.

Everything done and departed from Kunming via flight TG613 at 3:20 p.m. and reached Swvarnabhumi Airport at 5.30p.m. The connecting flight to Penang (flight TG 421) was at 6:10 p.m. From the previous experience in Swarnabhumi Airport, all the delegates were more alert this time. No more shopping and sight seeing. Straight to the departure gate. We reached Penang Airport at 9 p.m. The bus already waiting and we departed back to Ipoh immediately.


Halim requested 'nasi kandar' as he cannot stand without spices for the past few days. We stopped in Bukit Merah R n R and guess what....????? Most of the delegates ate laksa and nasi lemak!

We arrived safely to Ipoh at about 12a.m.
