That's A Wrap! Our First Ever (And Very Successful) Steemit Malaysia Meetup!
Saturday...
A rainy, cooling Saturday...
For any Malaysian, it is a perfect day to slumber and laze around as our tropical country hardly get such prestige weather besides the highlands (Genting, Cameron, Mount Kinabalu, etc...)
But today, it is time to get up, walk, and head off to probably one of the largest Steemit gathering for South East Asia (as I have been told)
I used to take a lot of public transportation during my earlier years in Kuala Lumpur but most of the time I will be drenched with sweat and it will definitely not a pretty sight to see.

I have checked out from Google Maps it was really easy to take a train there, and with such cooling weather with slight rain, it was perfect for a good walk.
Moreover according to @chloephuan93 , it was only 5 minutes walk away; however it took longer for us as we had to make a detour for the sake of getting a memory card which I so clumsily left at home.
Oh well, let's see how much cheers of upvotes and comments I can get and if that will cover the cost of my memory card.

Anyways.
@chloephuan93 was kind enough to wait for me to go together in case this mother lost her way.
It was a good ride though. I have never ridden this line ever since it was built. Most of the time my LRT rides are towards the Kuala Lumpur city center instead.
Ahem. Back to Steemit Gathering Malaysia
I didn't really get to take much photos for the day as my D90 was quite manja (whiny) today. That serves when you hardly use your camera anymore.
But there were still some good shots to share.
Candid shots are always my favourite. You can actually feel the mood of the people there when they are in their least expected moment.
Here are our talented #teammalaysia artists enjoying their burger meals, and probably reminiscing how yummy it is.
(@elliebong and @hanbun were among them. I will edit and add the names later)
I could be wrong. Though.
When @elizacheng finally found time for her food, and joining for a pose before she digs in and commune with others.
(What is our voice over champion doing with his expression? haha)
Here is @jikey with the lovely Carmen - which I couldn't get her full account name, sorry)
And here are the gentlemen who are busy chatting at the cozy corner.
The famous @namchau , @kokuryo , @blaine , @fundurian (the one I can't see the username), @superoo7 - sorry that yours got off focus, my camera is whining; and @cryptochindian )
When @coloringship finally get to meet our famous artist @sireh , with a super happy @voltranrex taking We-fie together...
During the talks briefing the updates, I can't help thinking @bitrocker2020 was like the singer at a joint where everyone were busy eating and listening.
Kidding. Kidding...
The fact is that the whole crowd were actually very attentive to his updates about #teammalaysia to everyone.
But poor @awesomianist had to eat his burger standing up...
It was overall a very fruitful gathering. Meeting the faces behind the usernames; and they finally knows who is the one with the light saber in the discord.

Oh wait! I forgot the main highlight of why we chose that location
Finally, for all who have been waiting to see how the famous Big Hug Burger looked like up close!
With any angle you still notice it looks really good. (or maybe my D90 just love the macro settings).
I ordered the lamb grilled burger and I like the fact that the patty is not too dry and it is still tender enough; plus it works very well keeping my body warm during such a cold day, and will continue to do so sustaining warmth in me tomorrow on a super cold stage.
Well, that's all folks, a fruitful day ended.
Thank you so much for the core team who have painstakingly planned and make this event a success!

Thank you for the nice candid picturess 😍 It was great to meet you :D
It was great meeting you too @elliebong ! I must make time to scoop in to see your work!
Keep in touch!
Aaahh all your shots look very beautiful! Thank you for the candid shots. You're right, you can really feel the mood in it. It was nice meeting you too!
Glad you like the shots I took @hanbun ! My D90 is always kind of whiny when it comes to dark locations. I should really make time to refresh my course on how to handle this dinosaur of mine. haha.
Great meeting you too!
I saw @awesomianist here and there with his burger too, looks so hungry LOL!
oh yes. because it was so good that is probably the reason Ian doesn't want to lose his burger. Haha.
Well documented looks like a fun meet up
yes it was @tattoodjay . Great to meet up with like minded individuals.
Thanks so much for stopping by
