We had a long full day yesterday although registration was at mid-day.About 30 people so we got to know each other pretty quick.A few lawyers who are also trained psychologists.A few psychotherapists, architects, PhD students and old academics like us.Ada sorang undergraduate frm Boston (see how great unis spend money on their undergrads?).Interesting sgt mix ni.Linda from San Diego (org putih) kasi kita solat kat bilik dia.Yeah...ramai yg baik mcm ni.
Mlm tu we went to dinner as a group.We found out prisons in the West were committed to ensuring prison conditions were taken care of.The architects were talking about having the right designs to ensure light was good, air circulation yada yada. They discussed also pallative care as inmates got older..and the need for them to exercise to ensure they stay fit.Maklum makanan tak cukup dan tak berkhasiat.Wow..I wonder if we talk like this at home.Ada gardenlah, buat theaterlah.
My paper went today.Adalah dua tiga ketul questions.I pun shared processes and analysis secara rambang.Besok tanya feedback.We are all very tired and feeling homesick.Rasa mcm dah lama berkelana and we have seen all we wanted to see.The sea is still blue.So is the sky.And I hate going up and down the steep staircases (apartment kita atas bukit...ada car access pun kena turun naik tangga).Tu sbb I miss home mucho.
My friends masak nasi lemak so that's a comfort.Sambal frm the can. :))
Day 3
Ramai came to ask about our faith-based module and Phylis dari USA suka benor ambik gambar kita.Gamaknya imej wanita Islam dah byk lari dari Fox and CNN.We were happy to share whatever they wanted to know.Dr Farizah gave an excellent paper.Kelakar selamba dia ni. :)) Kawan2 kita semua baik2 kat conference ni.We had to decline their suggestion tht we dined together sbb we all dah booked nak pi concert Mozart at Rector's Palace.
