Also need to thanks Ian Su for arranging this showcase. Highlight of VVIPs Microsoft CEO - Steve Ballmer YAB Dato' Mukhriz AirAsia CEO - Dato Tony Fernandes and etc. Steve Ballmer was here in Malaysia to launch the Microsoft Online Services - Cloud Computing. In the launch of the services, there is a price giving ceremony. Together with Steve Ballmer, YAB Dato' Mukhriz hand over our Malaysia Flag to Team HDC to represent Malaysia at Imagine Cup 2010 Worldwide final which will held at Poland on July 3 to 8 2010. Then, he visited our Imagine Cup 2010 Malaysia Booth to know more about Project Apple as when Chong Yang stand beside him, he throw him this question.

Well, last 2 week was my busy week for Microsoft Student Partners. I been involving to help to organize the new batch of MSP bootcamp.We have 40 MSP + MSP Alumni that attend this annual event. Beside organize the event, im one of the speaker too. My topic was on VS2010 and ASP.NET 4. Sorry to the crowd as i suppose to show them some vs2010 features but it doesn't work.

Other than technical presentation topic, we bring the MSP to Pain+ Ball as team building session !!! There is 1 extra activity happen in this year bootcamp. We actually prank the junior MSP...lol...
