NUS, here i come!!

While some lucky sod gets to go watch the Arsenal-Blackburn game live at the Emirates Stadium (Dec 04, 2006 entry. But I'll bet he'll have another. Kan Stone? Hehe. Congrats beb), I have to settle for a three-day conference in Singapore. This might not be an entirely bad thing, though. If you don't compare between the two places, that is (please, do not). Anyhow, had my passport done (in the eleventh hour!) which can't be a bad thing. Although I look like a penyangak in it.

Although I insisted upon an oral presentation, in this conference I only get to do a poster. Which is suckish since I am a lazy person and poster presentations aren't really my ball game. You see, for an oral presentation, you get roughly fifteen minutes to explain whatever it is you're doing (your research, that is). And that's plus the QnA session. You might get bombarded with questions but hey, two minutes of QnA hell isn't so bad, is it? Read on and you'll understand..

For a poster presentation, on the other hand, you'd have to literally be by your poster each and every minute of the day (OK I'm exaggerating. Only during office hours but you get my point), every day of the conference, should anyone come by and ask anything regarding the poster (or rather, what's on it). Does that not mean a few days of QnA? Get some life, poster presenters!

There will be a dinner at the end of the conference so I expect prizes will be given to the best presenters (oral and poster alike). I wanna wanna wanna win the best poster presentation, for the sake of my portfolio. I mean; Best Oral Presentation + Best Poster Presentation = The Man, 'innit?

Will be leaving Monday morning. Ciao
