Hearing Clinton....

Last Friday, I went to the KL Convention Centre and join the lucky thoasands who managed to get a ticket to hear former US President, Bill Clinton, speak.

What an impressive man! He arrived late (had been out to Putrajaya to see the PM and got caught in KL traffic - I thought he would have a police escort!) but everyone expects that in Malaysia!. He spoke for 45 minutes and then took 4 questions.

He speaks so well- interesting, engaging, entertaining and with much passion and conviction. Since leaving the presidency, he has been working in his own charitable foundation and doing much good work worldwide, providing medicines for AIDs sufferers and children with life threatening diseases.

A wonderful afternoon and hope to post some pics which I took soon..

Quite Some Time...

Sorry to those who read my blog. But firstly, my computer caught a virus, then work seems to have piled up even though I am not enjoying my Wednesday classes over the exam/ semester break.

This afternoon, I have been fortunate to get a ticket to hear former US President, Bill Clinton speak at a conference here in KL. This is the first time I will have ever seen a US President! Quite thrilled at the prospect.

The closest I have come to political proximy in this country was when I met Dr M wandering around KLCC a couple of years ago. We walked along by the outdoor lake for a few minutes and had a brief chat. Quite spontaneously, I put my arm around him, which obviously his bodyguards were not too too concerned about as I am still alive to tell the story!
