24-27 June 2008
Helping organise this year's Tiger Beer Conference, I flew with a bunch of colleagues to Siem Reap, Cambodia on a Tuesday morning and spent the rest of the week there organising, presenting, eating, drinking, (a bit of sleeping) and checking out this quaint town.
Highlights were spending some quality time with Tzao Shen, cruising around in a tuk tuk late at night with him and Nam, swimming in the palace-like hotel pool, and blowing away our 100 delegates with a smooth and high-energy conference.
On Friday we hopped on bicycles and rode around three of the biggest temples there - Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom and Bagon - beautiful, ancient and impossibly steep in places! The heat was pretty oppressive but I kept hydrated with ice cold Tiger and enjoyed every moment of it.
On the Saturday I took a lovely afternoon flight down to KL and met up with Jamie for the wedding of Joanne and Prakash - a memorable if slightly nerdy occcasion (apparently the groom had asked if there was an 'epsilon possibility' that they might get married) with Jamie's PPP.
The following day I caught up with Kevin for lunch and chilled at his place for a while, before catching the train from KL Sentral to the airport and heading back to Singapore for our last Sunday at Spottiswoode Park!
