i know i will be late for the orientation but i think in the schedule it is only registration and breakfast. i used the red bus and arrived @ 10.20 and proceed to union hall and realized i am actually missed ISS briefing session. Then i proceed with registration and ...my name is not there..ooh that because of i have registered in summer...that fine i just proceed to the hall...and we were given some briefing on ISS...and then they introduce I Friend programme and talent program..Mohammad played drum..it was really nice...
