My journey to Phuket, Thailand - Part 4 (Final)

Continued from Part 3

Friday, 31st October 2008. Last day of the convention. That morning, we woke up early because the organizer said that the program will be start early. Awal la sangat. Hehe. We need to bring down all of our belongings because as soon as the convention is over, we need to went out from Thailand before 12 am (Thailand time) or else, we need to sleep at the border. We'll see later. ;) Then, we bring all our things and put it in the bus before we went to have our breakfast. That morning, I ate one plate of fried rice combination plus wanton mee, one plate of omelette, sausages and baked beans, one plate of bread and croissant plus gutter and one bowl of coco crunch plus cornfalkes and their siblings with milk. ;) How was it? Ada bran? Hehe.

After I finished my breakfast, I went into the convention place. Wahlauwei~~ Still empty. The participant still not filling in the blanks. Hehe. I knew that would happen and it happened. ;P And the session resumed like the original schedule. 6 presenters remain for the last day presentation. First presentation focused on topic gender gap in higher education. It was presented by Special Advisor to Minister of Higher Learning (MOHE) Malaysia, Prof Dr Md Yusof Abu Bakar and the President of University of St Louis, Philippines, Dr Rosalinda P Valdepenas.

Second paper focused on ASEAN students mobility. The presenters were Deputy Vice Chancellor (Student Affairs) of Universiti Malaysia Terengganu (UMT), Prof Dr Abd Majid Mohd Isa and Professor of University of Indonesia, Prof Dr Wan Usman Wan Achmad. Lastly, final presentation was focused on helping program for high risk students in higher education. Presenter involved were Vice President for Student Development Sport & Culture of Prince of Songkla University, Prof Dr Padoongyot Duangmala and College Principal of MARA Institute of Technology (UiTM), Dr Norzanah Mat Nor. The convention ends later that.

After that, all participants started to clear the hall. Where were they going? Going back la. The lunch was put in polysterene because the time is running out. Can't eat there. I took one and went down to go to the bus. I got the girl's(the one that I usha-ing) contacts too. ;) Just before we leave the hotel, we solat jama' qasr zohor and asar first. We left the hotel at 2 pm (Malaysia time). Later that night, do you think we manage to pass through the border? ;) No, we don't. We slept in the bus at the border until 5.30 am, Saturday, 1st November 2008. Only then we can enter Malaysia. Alhamdulillah. I'm back to Malaysia. Syukur. Many, many syukur. We changed bus at UUM and went back to UMP just after that. Alhamdulillah, we arrived safely at UMP just after maghrib. :)

That's the end of the journey. I think I love to be here in Malaysia. In the same time, I think I need to go out to see others country too, right? ;) Well, that's all for this post. Stay tuned for more updates exclusively from me, Jamil. Your friend. :) Wassalam.
