Shell Gathering at A Five Star Hotel
We have always hoped that Shell would organise a gathering for their scholars so we could meet each other and get updated on latest news. I was informed that they have been planning to have it since 2009 and finally in 2013, the plan became a reality. When I got the email from Han earlier this year, I think I must have been one of the first people to reply. As soon as I read the email a few hours after it was sent, I confirmed that I was coming immediately. However, I saw that the date was set during Ramadhan so I suggested they arrange it earlier so it will be more convenient for Muslims, like me. When I got a positive response, I was more sure about coming! The first thing that made me anxious was getting a roommate. We were told that we would be sharing a room with another scholar, so that meant I would be getting a roommate for the first time. I have never lived in a dormitory or shared a room with someone I didn't know before so this was a new experience for me ;)
