Whoa whoa whoa guys! It is TWENTY EIGHTEEN! I've been missing from posting for quite some time and was only limited to reposting and commenting because I was away overseas (there will be a post or two on that) and boy, juggling between jobs and Steemit (which is also a job) is KRAZY! Anyways, I know I am TWO WEEKS overdue but allow me to take this opportunity to wish everyone on Steemit and ESPECIALLY my awesome people at #steem-cartoon, a Happy New Year. Here's to a prosperous one, and FULL STEEM AHEAD, GUYS!
Oh yeah, BURGERS! So, yesterday (January 13th 2018) was a super awesome day. It was the first ever gathering for #teammalaysia and it could not be at a better place, Big Hug Burger!

Now, I haven't been to this place for quite some time, and I know their burgers are not your typical drive-through fast food. So, I skipped breakfast. But yea, check out Big Hug Burger, and if you love lamb, gosh, their Lamb Burger is for you! Kudos to owner @danielwong. From what I heard, they're accepting Steem starting next week. Awesome stuff, man!
@danielwong hard at work. Dude, has anyone told you that Daniel Wu looks like you?
And I must put up a big shout-out to @sireh who sponsored me to this gathering. Together with @perennial and a host of talented cartoonists and awesome illustrators, they have been instrumental in the constant growth and recognition of the #steem-cartoon community. Keep it up, guys!
@sireh after realizing he's being stalked.
I got there around 12.40pm and being me, I was like "is this the place?" even though I know it was the right place. So I messaged the group first and asked if anyone arrived yet. Turns out @hanbun, @elliebong, and @artsyhooman were already there and they've helped themselves with the finger food and drinks (free-flow!). We got our orders and we all ate like barbarians. Polite barbarians.
Did you finish it, @elliebong?
And the gathering officially started with a few words from @zord189 and @bitrocker2020. It's great to know that the #teammalaysia community is growing fast and more and more people are starting to take note of this platform.
@zord189 and @bitrocker2020 kicking off the event.
And the highlight of the gathering is, of course, the mingling (and jingling, according to @zord189).
(L-R) Me, @karinzdailygrind, @hanbun, and @notimetospace with her brilliant piece of promotion.
Representing the music scene, it's great to see @vandigital at the gathering. He does voice-overs too, so that's awesome!
And @djlethalskillz in the house!
Right before the end of the event, it is @kaerpediem! And an almost-successful photobomber.
A super honorable mentions to these super-awesome humans:
@danieldoughty. All the way from Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. This man's on a mission and I think he's one of the big reasons that the community in KK is growing. It was great seeing you, man!
@viverridae. Dari KK juga ni! Once the accent comes out, we can pretty much talk about anything!
@petaloudaart. It was great meeting you! And I'll remember you for the trivago video you recorded. I hope your kids would love it!
@hanbun. All the best with your final year project! And I also use Traveloka.
@artsyhooman. Had no idea you were in the UK for your studies. All the best with Steemit and job-hunting!
@elliebong. Haven't seen you since your graduation. Keep it up with your Steemit cartoons!
@zord189. Aaah, the gif guy! What a way to start a conversation.
@orangila. Crazy name! Great seeing you and thank you for the little business advice.
Everyone had a good time. And everyone left the place with more friends and ideas about the future. I left feeling inspired because there was so much positive vibe from everyone. Bring it on, 2018! Now, I know this is not everyone but do comment below if you were there at the gathering :D
I'll end the post with a meme-potential photo of me, courtesy of @sireh.
I'm excited for 2018! I'll see you on the next post, guys! Cheers.
