Whenever I let my mind wander, I become quivery-lipped and frightened thinking about all the things that I would have been doing if I had a (silly) degree. I may be smacking my child, for instance, or reading the newspapers looking out for a much rewarding job or smoke at the corridor as an excuse to leave my working desk.
Outside my little, humble world (H&G Strategic Communications), things are a lot more cruel and sometimes confusing (at least to me) – dogs are trained to kill rats, they put too much salt on my mashed potatoes, the urinals in public toilets are too high for the average Asians, you are fined if you put your rubbish in the wrong coloured dustbin, and if you make terrorist jokes you’ll be spending the next five years digging a tunnel in Guantanamo.
Fortunately though, the whole idea of a grim world that we live in will be as good as a dead duck. Because how’s this for a happy thought, CIMB WUPID is sending their representatives to EUDC and Australs to promote the awaited event this December with loads of brand new great news:
(1) As the Worlds will be way, way, away from Malaysia (venue for WUPID), we are offering special rates – like NO rates actually – for uninvited institutons from Europe, Africa and America who could confirm their participation within two weeks once registration is opened (26 September - 10 October 2008).
(2) We’re receiving special discounted rates for airfares via Malaysia Airlines (MAS) for this event. Booking services and further enquiries can be done through our representative* – naufal@hngsc.com.
(3) We’ve just asembled a team to help source funding for institutions needing to fly to Malaysia for CIMB WUPID 2008. If you’re interested in letting us pimp your debate team, please feel free to contact yunus@hngsc.com for more info and requirements**.
(4) The crown prince of the State of Perak, HRH Dr. Raja Nazrin Shah has cordially confirmed his interest in attending the Grand Finals and giving away the prizes.
(5) Loads more …
Notes:
*There is no guarantee that the rates will be the cheapest in the world.
**No guarantee that sponsorship will be succesfully acquired.
