Success!

Ariff and Soraya SMS'ed me last night describing the exhibit's reception, and it appears it all went forward without a hitch! (The exhibition of course. The installation of the exhibition was a completely different matter. I spoke with Ariff the night before and he seemed somewhat stressed out at the fact that things were not going quite as smoothly as we had planned out. At that moment, they were just painting the walls - and that was the morning of the exhibition! Apparently the wall had just been put up the day before!)

According to Prof Sharifah, the PM had looked at every single image we had hung up, and according to Ariff, the PM had spent more time looking at the art exhibition than anything else! I am so happy to hear all this, and it is too bad that Shahril and myself are not there to share this happiness!

I also wanted to say CONGRATULATIONS AND THANK YOU to everybody that helped us out with this exhibit. I realize that everybody put in so much time to get it done.. Raziff, Man and Dang - our helpful volunteers, who came together. Yunus for helping us here and there. Prof Kamaruddin, and Prof Sharifah. Othman and Hamdan at EOC. Shahril, Soraya and Ariff, for spreading the vision and keeping all this on its toes!

Now to the more administrative bits...

To do:
1. Collect receipts, do billing (at least this is now somewhat guarenteed!)
2. Flora and Fauna book
3. Followup exhibition
4. Any further hookups with UEM now that we're riding this wave?
5. UNESCO Young Scientist grant?
6. Tuesday - Ariff is taking everybody out to dinner
7. Next exhibition at Pelita Hati
8. Get pictures from Razif to put up online
