Started on the 4th to 8th July at Hilton KL.
It's a meeting held once every 2 years, consists of 8 Muslim developing countries (Malaysia, Indonesia, Nigeria, Pakistan, Egypt, Bangladesh, Turkey and Iran) discussing on global issues.
So, I was one of the many journalists being assigned to cover the event.
And i was glad, that i was given a chance to cover such a big event, where i just joined the workforce for only 1 month.
On the 6th July, i was assigned to go to KLIA for the arrival of the President of Indonesia, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. Me and camera man pun pigi la... and i forgot to bring my camera along. Then, the next morning i went to KLIA again to sambut the arrival of the President of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad! It was super early...duh.
And this time, i brought my camera along!
Apa lagi! Bergambar la ! Hehe...
Semangat kat airport runway :D
Me and Arabi, my camera man
Faizol the photographer. Look at his camera... canggih!
And Azman too :)
Nah.. shooting!
Our own Foreign Minister, Datuk Seri Utama Dr Rais Yatim is waiting for the arrival of Ahmadinejad on the red carpet
Here's the big man!
After that we rushed back to Hilton lagi.
At the hotel, they provided us (media) a room where we can get our story done. That room is equipped with computers and internet connection. So, each time after the press conference or anything.. we will type our story there and send it back to the office.
Here's the room, where all the journalists are super busy
Me and Laili, another journalist from bernama tv. She's very helpful. Many thanks to her for teaching and guiding me over there. Or else, i'll be panik giler weh...
And while waiting for any jolok moment outside the discussion room, which is all closed door session...we bergambar lagi!
Camera man from RTM. Bergayanya !!! He sengaja one lor !
Overall,
I was exhausted during that event. With so many stand by and running around.
But i was really grateful for the experience that i gained over the entire assignment. Where i don't think i can get if i'm working else places.
Thank you for the memory.
I will never forget this!
