…is you meet too many people in a 2-3hrs session. And you dont have the time to pause and reflect who just spoke to you. After receiving x numbers of name cards with ‘VP’ or ‘CEO’, everyone looks the same to you.

Case in point, at one of the evening receiptions last week, I have a long and interesting discussion with a gentleman from Australia. He is trying talk to me about the ‘fiber & duct’ problem in Singapore whereas I was trying to talk to him about the IP Telephony. And I kind of forgotten about the conversation … until saw his face on the newspaper today.

OMG, I was speaking to Mr Alston, the former Minister of Communication, Information Technology and the Art from Australia!
