Meetup #8 - Introducing Steemit to My Friend & Penang Trip Updates!
How's everyone doing? Pretty busy lately and yesterday me and @joannewong met up with a friend for dinner at Bangsar before my Penang trip for today.
Dinner Night out

We had our dinner at The X Restaurant & Bar which is located opposite of Bangsar Village 2 Mall and as usual, finding parking in Bangsar is the most nightmare task even on a weekday night after a few turn. In the end, I just decided to park at the mall after failing to find any available parking slot outside.
The ambient of the restaurant is slightly dim and songs are played at a moderate volume which quite a nice place to hang out and feels cosy as well. The restaurant serves a wide variety of foods and drinks which wouldn't be a problem in choosing your pick.

Food Made With Love ❤️
Looking through their menu, I'll order myself a drink and they ordered up some food for dinner. While waiting for the food to be served, we explain to @kshiuh about the fundamental of Steemit and guide him about his first post about Introduction Yourself. Soon, dinner has been served up

Road Trip Up North to Penang
Today is the day I head down Penang with @bitrocker2020 and @davidke20 for the 100degree Steemit Sharing Session in MSOGO, Prangin Mall Penang. The journey up north took us a 3hr 30 minutes of drive from Kepong, not many cars, lorries on the road and weather is a nice sunny day for a drive.

Arrived Penang
We arrived Penang roughly 2.30PM and our stomachs are calling for some Penang food before checking in our Airbnb. We went and scout some foods around the corner and also walk towards the famous Penang Teo Chew Cendol.

Cendol
After our lunch, we went to check in at our Airbnb for a rest before heading out again for the event. Check in is like a treasure hunt as the host has given us a detailed instruction for where to get our room key and car park access key 😂.
I'll continue the Airbnb review on my next post together with the update of the event as it's time for me to pack up and head out to the venue to get ready for the event. 👋🏻 See ya later!

It was not boring. Such moments are always more valuable than money :)
I following your channel is pretty interesting :)
Thanks @deviliano 😊
hi @aaronleang too bad i was not aware of this Penang event, else I would have ask my ex colleagues and friends to attend. Perhaps I also ikut as I missed this place where I used to stay for 6 years.
Anyway, glad that you update the happenings of your trips, perhaps later the events with more photo and who knows, maybe I see some familiar face
thanks for the post again and all the best with the event
There's another one coming up on the 20th March @digitalmind, maybe you can ask your ex-colleagues and friends to check it out but it's a Chinese version of Steemit talk, not sure will suit your friends or not.
Wish I could have been there with you all, it will be an amazing trip.. will upvote when my VP is higher..
Haha sure, if you're free, you could join the 20th Mac.. there's another one coming up by @davidke20.
Too many events.. hope we can have an official portal to announce all.. I suggest to announce all on @myach so everyone can follow the news and go support.. I don't have plan on 20th
