3 birds with 1 stone: bird#1 - the meeting

just got back from attending a medical meeting in s'pore. my ex-colleague organised it & i have to say he & his organising committee did a sterling job, considering it involved a bunch of speakers from the US & participants from several south-east asian countries.

besides the excellent series of talks/lectures, the other attraction has always been the trade exhibition.pharmaceutical firms & medical equipment manufacturers display their products & hopefully attract interested parties to purchase their wares. one of the gimmicks to entice prospective clients to their booths is to hand out gifts, like....


pens, sling-bags & (would you believe?) haagen-dazs....

note-pads, post-its & even oxygen-enriched water (anything but new water, thank you very much!)...


you'd think this is a toy blue-tooth but....

it's actually a hands-free torch-light!!

you've got to hand it to those guys for being innovative. what will they think of next?
