YES! My 500 SP Mark!
Hello Steemians!
Today is the day.....

I will rejoice and be glad in it!
It has been a wild ride for me I must say both in Steemit and in the real world (especially the real world recently), to the point that I even missed my first #Steemit birthday in the month of June!

Nevertheless, although I have been in a really slow and steady mode to climb up to this ladder, I can only say nothing but really thanksgiving for the opportunity that this platform gives.
In the one year I came as a minnow that could hardly swim in the big waves of Steemit world, knew no one, just wandered around aimlessly engaging to any writers that caught my attention and shared similar interests, to....
Meeting awesome people...

Witnessing other awesome creation of groups from really awesome people (like @thesteemengine , @steemitmamas)

Managed to pay off some grocery bills for my parents (through @dses Internal Trade test drive ... you can read about it by clicking on the image below)
Thrown out of my comfort zone (as a back end support "specialist")

Running a successful fund raising all in SBD... and continued to work on @dses Internal Trade Teamwork for charity
(And seeing others taking the same example and made their own successful fund raising events)
Witnessing great births of new initiatives from the Big Family members....

initiatives launched by @zord189 and @brandlee87 , @legendchew , @elizacheng
The list goes on and on and on....
To some people, meeting the 500SP mark only after 1 years seems to me an under achievement for a personal goal, which one can be correct if you want to set yourself at the rat race stage; but to see along the way how the journey not only benefited oneself but how tiny / huge thing we made has impacted others as well as enjoying the ride has truly been nothing but a rewarding experience for me personally.
If I would go back time and re-walk this path, I wouldn't do anything else otherwise.
(maybe a little more improvement...)
As I am unable to give a shoutout to every single Steemian here a big thank you (Hey! You know who you are out there!), I would only promise one thing:
You ain't seeing the last of me yet.
Being able to hit the 500SP mark will enable me to be able to upvote according to the control of my VP so that I can regulate my votes a little better inside Steemit platform itself instead of relying on other platforms.
Moreover, this is the first milestone that I have set to myself where I can head on to a new season to further help not only team Malaysia but other communities if possible.
While I am still trying to get my new life in order (I'll share more later from my house purchase progress if you have been following me at the beginning of the year), I will still be a little less active in this platform until the dust has settled at my new place.
But I promise I'll get back on my rusty track once all is done!
Until then
