Back in Malaysia
Sorry for not writing from Florida...I couldn't get free WiFi at the hotel where I was staying. It was a beautiful resort, Port Orleans Riverside Resort @ Disneyland. Yep, I was at Disneyland. Our conference is held at Disneyland, but at a different hotel called Dolphin & Swan Hotel. Unfortunately that hotel was fully booked very very early. We arrived at Orlando on Saturday afternoon, but as soon as we arrived at the hotel, I was really flat so I told my colleague I needed some time to rest before we started to do anything. The view at the resort was simply breathtaking...ad the weather is much warmer than Houston. The first time I got the chance to take off my coat. When I reached the room, I felt even more relaxed...the room was really nice. I took a quick nap and before we went out, I thought of ordering food from the room. Well guess what, there was no in-room dining! They actually forced you to go out and have food outside! Well no choice then. We went for a quick lunch, and then we decided to register for the conference. After the registration, it was already 7pm and after we bought a theme park ticket, we just found out that the theme park is closed at 8.30pm. Darn! What can we see in 1.5 hours? So we decide to postpone our visit...we went back to the hotel and had dinner instead. The food was terrible...not that it tasted bad, but it didnt appeal to my appetite...I only had 3 bites and then I bought salad for supper. I was famished by the time I had the supper and I had terrible heartburn or should I say, gastric.
The next morning, I was supposed to attend several jumpstart sessions at the conference but I fell sick. I was having heartburn the whole day and been vomitting severely. I couldn't even walk properly. There goes another day, wasted! However, we had a welcome reception organized by Lotusphere so I went to the conference hotel at about 6pm and met up with my colleagues there. Today was exceptionally cold, colder than Houston. During dinner, which was held at the beach side, didn't help at all. It madethe condition worsen, our hands were trembling and my mouth became numb. I couldn't even eat properly as it was freaking cold!
Went back to our hotel and get an early sleep...coz tomorrow will be the official start day of the conference. I need to be fit for it as this was the main purpose I was here. So I slept early, but I got up at 4am! And I couldn't resume sleeping...I was trying very hard to sleep more but I just can't. So I watched TV until it was time to be ready for the shuttle bus.
This was really a test...I shall continue my story later. Tata...
