Orchid Story 41 - Variety

March 2007

My Dear Orchid Story Reader

Let’s see how this month of March ended up being quite an odd one here in South East Asia:

1. Holi, the festival of colours
2. Our event in Borneo
3. Just because…

1. Holi, the festival of colours

The time of my favourite Indian festival, the Holi has arrived! Last year I missed out on it because of the mini-marathon in Thailand but this year no way I could have skipped the colourful event, reminding all to the good old times in the kindergarten ;-) so the fun was on! Hehehehe... Eddie, my classmate from uni, Pritam, my crazy Indian friend and Gabor, my world citizen Hungarian friend and I had a blast in a nearby park where the festival took place! If you are keen to learn more about the festival’s history, click here for my earlier story about it and for photos, check this out ;-)

2. Our event in Borneo

Last year I mentioned that one of my new work areas is event management (two programs per year). The big program in Bali took place last month (I adored it!) and now it was time to have the other one, this time in Borneo, Kota Kinabalu! 90 outstanding sales performer awardee came to the island of jungles and mysterious tribes from 18 countries in AP and we organized a program for them, full of discoveries of legendary places and fun! But let me tell you more about it next month, with photos ;-)

3. Just because

Some random picture and moments:
- I have uploaded a 2.5-min-long short video about our event in Bali. You can view it here. It well introduces the concept of the program, hope, you will like it :-)
- The time for a new type of accident has also arrived: the hot iron fell on my right leg, causing first and secondary burns. What on Earth, ay... :-S? It is ugly but healing... heheheh...
- I ate fish eye ball... hmmm... it is a local delicacy or what but if you ask me it is slimy and disgusting ;-)

That is all for me for now!
