Hi and salam to all of you.

(Please read part 1 and part 2 before continue reading this report)

Let's recapped on what happened during my trip to Venice representing Malaysia for World Summit Award 2007 as Special Mention. Special thanks to Sharia; x-classmate from KUSESS (sha) for arranging, accompanying, advicing and touring me during my trip to Venice (Venizia). Also to MDeC for sponsoring and submitting Kapasitor to World Summit Award 2007. And not to forget; Nadi-Ayu Technologies Sdn. Bhd. (Puan Nadira Yusoff) for making my trip to Venice possible. Plus, the whole Kapasitorians and Malaysians.

3rd November 2007 (WSA 07 Welcoming Session and Winners Conference)

(Tengah berdebar-debar menunggu giliran utk presentation)

My presentation day and the opening + welcoming session for World Summit Award 2007 chaired by the president (Prof. Bruck). Sha and I came to Palazzion Frenchetti with me wearing a set of white baju melayu (one of Malaysia's national costume) and blue samping without songkok (I forgot to wear it). My presentation went well except for the q & a session where I was asked by a gentleman (one of the grand jurors) regarding copyright issue in Kapasitor. Will definately fix this matter once I got myself back in Malaysia.

This session also consists of a few other presentations by other categories. Yes, I was nervous during the presentation as I have no experience presenting in front of international audience. Luckily Sha was there to help me. It was a great experience, something that not everyone would have without effort and istiqamah (constant in doing things) and doa.

We met MDeC's Vice President, Dato Abu Talib Bachick during this session. Since I was caught in fever and Sha was not well (headache), we straight away went back to Lido for rest.

4th November 2007 (2nd day of Winners Conference)

(Camni la rupa main room utk presentation)

Attended a few other presentations. What caught my attention was e-Learning category. I think companies from Malaysia (example: Educational Trend & Telecom TSS) could have been one of the winners (or at least to get into nomination) in this category. But, I learnt that since most of the companies doing projects for MoE, approval procedure might be lengthy.

After this session, we were invited to have WSA Cocktail. Again, the place where the cocktail took place was awesome and incredible. If not because of WSA 07, I dont think I would have the chance to get into this place. It was so beautiful; I have the guts to sit on the chairs when I walked in into the hall.

Right after the WSA 07 Cocktail, Sha and I went to San Marco Square and took a walk watching the square at night. If you have the chance to be in Venice, make sure you bring along your partner ya?

5th November 2007 (Gala and Global Forum)

(Nama bangunan ini ialah Fondazione Giorgio Cini. Sumpah lawa. This is the place where the Global Forum took place.)

Today is the first day of Global Forum. At night, It was the WSA 07 Gala, an awarding ceremony. No red carpet, no international singers. It was presitigious event. After the ceremony, we went to concerto at la Fenice. It was awesome (both concert and building). The last time I was in concert was 12 years ago (when I was in Victoria Institution) but this is really, really great.

6th November 2007 (Global Forum)

(Global Forum main room. Kat sini la Gala WSA diadekan).

The second day of Global Forum and the end of the WSA 07. I take this oppurtunity to congratulate all winners, jury dictinctions and special mentions. Also, it was an honour to meet up with all of you and I will definitely bring back these experiences back to Malaysia and contributing back to the community. And this time, with a better impact, Insya Allah (with God permission).

Thank you.
