Today, wake up at 7am, bath and get ready for breakfast at 8am. Start a great day with a full stomach. ^_^.
Walk past Wisma UOA to KL Convention Centre and straight to the Handout Counter to get my cap. Wonder why my other colleagues couldn't get the cap?? The cap looks cool with the words.. "Certified I am. You are not". Maybe is it just for MCP? Some of my colleagues are MCP as well. Wonder why...
Attend the Keynote session at Plenary Hall, Level 1. Some snapshots of the keynote speakers:
Saw Ken Wye, VP, Asia Pacific, Microsoft
Dato' Badlisham Ghazali, CEO Multimedia Development Corporation
Ward Ralston, Group Technical Product Manager, Microsoft
Forgotten his name...
Some of the Wow Thing..
After the keynote session, its lunch time. The lunch this year is better than last year. They also have more rows of food so that people don't cramp up in a lane. Thumbs up for the food, especially the desserts. But this round, the coffee and tea are not auto-served. Need to ask for it from the waiter/waitress.
After lunch, take a visit to the Exhibition Hall for some games, product and services information from participating companies... and some goodies... ^_^ There's some exhibition hall activities like Bingo, Crazy Word Mix, Geeks Face-Off, Hunt the "Fugitive", Speed Typing and many more other activities going on.
First track session starts at 1.30pm and each session is 1.15 hour long with 15 minutes interval break between each session.
I attended 4 sessions from 1.30pm until 7.15pm. Phew.. It was a tiring day, but at the same time an exciting day with lots of new knowledge, latest technologies information to learn.
Some of the sessions that I wanted to attend but are not able to attend due to crash with other session. Anyway, the 4 sessions that I attended are:
- The Real-Estate Architecture Role
(discussing more on the UX experience and the importance of it, relating to the real estate property, interesting session and great speake -- Aaron Tan Dani) - Developing a Windows Presentation Foundation Application
(instructor lead lab ILL, not enough time to really go through all of the content, should allocate longer time for ILL) - Building Next Generation Data Access Layers with the ADO.NET Entity Framework
(more to overview of Entity Framework, see that many people rate this session as Below Expectation, as for me Average) - What's New in Microsoft Visual C# 3.0?
(ILL, great presenter/instructor, easy to understand lab, worth the time to attend)
Bump into Alex, my ex-colleague. ^_^
Going back to hotel around 7.45pm, then walk to Equatorial Hotel for dinner in Kampachi with Ing Chen. Nice dinner served and the food is good. ^_^
Finished dinner near to 10pm, back to hotel room, check some company emails, replying emails and bath. Then blogging until its 1.15am now. Gotta get some rest for Day 2's session.
Good night!
