whoever said chairing a conference is a piece of cake?...


not when you're chairing the 3rd annual company secretary conference for 2 solid days where your challenge is to keep delegates awake, sustain their interest with witty, naughty (but not vulgar) jokes, having to be constantly thinking on your feet, and being mindful of what you will be saying or to whom you 're addressing, to be always politically-correct lest you trigger a diplomatic row (heheh), to an audience of high ranking boardroom 'kingmakers' even though some may just be 'in attendance' (wink) and to make it even more eerie...most are legal counsels (urrghhh) and coming from countries like nigeria, india, papua, vanuatu, philippines, vietnam, australia, brunei, indonesia, thailand,sri lanka, bangladesh, pakistan, hongkong and of course our own (that's even more challenging heehee). need i say more? i rest my case fellas...tired both physically and intellectually but at the end of it all..quite satisfying i must admit...
