Today is the most hectic day of my new job.  According to Ken, it is his most hectic day as well after 2 years in the company.  I attended four separate events.  Fortunately, two are in the same building, one within walking distance and another one about 10 minutes drive.

I picked up ken at about 9.45am.

First stop: Time Square Hotel
Since Canon and Kaspersky events are at Time Square, we attended both, but intend to spend more time at Canon because Canon is obviously a more important one and it has more stuff for me to write on the event..  We went to register at Kapersky’s booth and got a media kit, which is usual.  Took some pictures and listened to the talk on antivirus and computer securities. 

We left the event before it ended and went to Canon.  Registered our names and found a place to sit. The event started as we’ve expected.  As we were sitting down, the speaker said “Thanks to all media partners for coming.”, and everyone stood up! We expected that it has started but never expected it to start ON TIME.  (Events never start on time!).  So we kind of missed the Canon event.  I took some photos of the dancers and chit chatted with my colleague that came earlier.

We sat down, took a look at the media kit from Kapersky and we found a 2GB pendrive (with an antivirus software, with an activation code) , a shirt, 2 pens, a full version of Kapersky’s antivirus!  Luckily we went for that event.  Canon gave us a towel! Why a towel? I don’t know.  Maybe it’s for us to wipe of the drool from the new products that were launched, something that Ken and I have no idea of.

Canon’s PR took us to the hotel’s restaurant and had buffet lunch at 12pm.  Since our next event will only start at 2pm.  We ate slowly and talked a lot.  At about 1.20pm, we walked over to Low Yat plaza since it’s still early and the next venue is just next door, at Federal Hotel. 

Second stop: Federal Hotel
Went up to Federal Hotel at 2pm and registered, got our goodie bag.  It has a long sleeve shirt, a necklace, a keychain and a paper cup!  This event is by New Era, a games distributor in Malaysia.  I thought there were going to give out free games.  They were just previewing some of the new games on a projector and we were expected to sit through 2 hours and watch the trailers!  Since Ken and I have another event to attend at 3.30pm, we left at about 3.15pm.

Last Stop: Check my post tomorrow
The last event was HP’s Big Bang event.  It’s an annual HP event where they invite all the press to have fun and launch a bunch of their products.

I will not continue now, want to give you guys a suspense.  All I can say is that HP’s events are my official “have-to-go” events.  Every thing was great.  I am sorry, let me rephrase.  EVERY THING WAS SUPER DUPER FREAKING OUT OF THE WORLD OH MY GOD GREAT!
