Back in the Land of Living

After 8 long months of planning, 8 looong months of ceaseless emails, phone calls, letters, deals, promotions, designing and meetings it finally happened. Last weekend was the ultimate culmination I've been talking about. 8 long months of spending almost every waking moment thinking, breathing and dreaming of the Malaysian Salsa Festival and it has finally come to pass.

Big WHEW!

I'm glad to report that almost everything went off without a hitch. I've had so many glowing compliments and praises that my head is threatening to explode any minute now. Little do the participants know the amount of work and thought put into every minute detail and the small army of people we had behind the scenes who executed everything seamlessly. My hats off to the Organizing Committee and Ground Crews! I'm truly blessed to have these people enrich my life... OK, OK, before I start singing "Kumbaya" have a look at some of the fantastic pictures James took during the festival...

I designed the wristband all the participants had to wear.

Sad to say, I didn't get to enjoy the scenery personally :(

These are only the pictures from Day 1 folks. I'll be posting more as they start coming in from the various official photographers. Needless to say, I won't be in any of the pictures since I was too busy running around. Ah, such is the life of an event organizer.

Anyways, I've been in hibernation ever since the whole hullabaloo died down last Sunday. Managed to finish 2 thick and juicy books this week, did a whole lot of nothing and now I am ready to face the world once again. Wonder what's the next big project?
