The alarm woke me up at 5 a.m. but it took me a long time to depart from the cozy comforter. By the time I rushed out of the house and took the highway, it way already busy with traffic. I reached KLIA at 6.30 a.m. and had ample time to check-in and had light breakfast at the McD. Linda had booked me the 0805 flight to Singapore. The journey was uneventful and I slept all the way.
TJK was already waiting for me at the arrival hall of Changi Airport. His company car took us to the Mint and I was supposed to meet up with Miss C, the CEO and Dan T but they had to rush for a very important board meeting. TJK ended up giving me a tour around the Coin Shoppe and the exhibition gallery before we start on business.
I was introduced to the Production Manager and Technical Manager who later assisted me in checking the specifications of the samples. Some improvements on the relief of the design and the depth of the edge lettering have to be done before they proceed with production.
Later we met up with Miss C and Dan T at Desa Kartika for a hearty lunch. She had a bagful of souvenirs for me to bring home and distribute and some will add to my collections. TJK sent me back to the airport and I took the 17:25 flight to KL.
From KLIA I drove straight to Masjid Negara for my class.
