After much delay, I’m finally heading to the Kuala Lumpur International Book Fair 2008. Did you know I totally forgot all about it until Friday? The event began last week, 4 April 2008 more accurately. Guess what? Today’s the last day! Good grief! Anyway, last week I was preoccupied with a meeting with my client and the Post Graduate Fair cum Entrepreneurship Fair cum Career Fair at Mid Valley Exhibition Centre (Entry link). And so the lobbying begins… ;-)

This morning (13 April 200 8) at 02:32:07 specifically, I sent a text message to two of my friends, Alvin (Friendster profile) and Fauzee (Friendster profile). They’re in Universiti Teknologi MARA Malaysia as well. The former in the Faculty of Hotel & Tourism Management (FPHP ? - link) while the later is in the Faculty of Architecture, Planning and Surveying (FSPU - link). I finally got a reply from Alvin around noon and the lobbying and convincing began. To cut the long story short, we’re meeting at Section 2 at 14:00:00 - approximately 12 hours after the message was sent. ;-)

For further information, here is the KLIBF ‘08 Website.

I’ve you’ve been there already, please share your experience. What did you like most about the fair? What were the perks and the shortcomings..? No, I’m not an agent for the organisers. Just doing my part for the industry… Wait… I’m in the Advertising/Marketing/PR Industry, not the publishing industry! >_> Nonetheless, I am a freelance (corporate) writer. ;-)

See you there. :-D
