AMBP Bloggers Gathering: Coffee Therapy for Bloggers

AllMalaysia Bloggers Project is organising the first bloggers meet in Kuala Lumpur for 2008. For most part of last year, I have been busy with one thing or another and hardly had time to attend bloggers meet save for the one in Kota Kinabalu organised by Dee. Yes, bloggers meets have become one of the few ways for me to make friends now since my social life is almost non-existent lately.

The AMBP Bloggers Gathering with the tagline Coffee Therapy for Bloggers is also giving away drinks for the first 50 to walk into Starbucks at The Gardens in MidValley. I am looking forward to catching up with some old friends and hopefully make a few more new ones. See you guys and gals there this Saturday! Details of the meet are as below:

Kota Kinabalu Bloggers Meet At Shamrock Irish Bar – October 28, 2007

If I were to run a marathon like I blog, I would not only finish the race last but finish the race 30 days later. My being on a wheelchair has got nothing to do with it. My procrastination does. I do not know why – every time I start to blog about the Kota Kinabalu Bloggers Meet, I start to itch. No, I am not allergic to my new found KK friends. They are great people, very friendly, very accommodating, very helpful and most of all, fun to be with. I am itching now but I am going to finish this entry for once and for all.

I would like to wholeheartedly thank all who spent the evening at Shamrock Irish Bar with Wuan and me. It was a privilege and honour to have touched base with some of the more active bloggers in Kota Kinabalu. Special thanks go to Dee who organised the meet in conjunction with my first trip to KK which was also our honeymoon. And what an unforgettable honeymoon it was. Wuan and I are already looking forward to another trip to KK. This time, we are going to fly Malaysia Airlines. See you gals and guys again soon!

Some memorable things I remember about the meet:
1. Jacq, Wei Chuen and Charlie dropped in even though they had driven all the way back from Brunei on the same day.
2. Why KinkyJasmines? Because she wanted to attract attention. We were attracted all right!
3. Collin said he saw Wuan and me at Lok Kawi Wildlife Park earlier in the day.
4. Everybody say seeexxx!!!!
5. Jasmine has been blogging longer any of us present that evening. And she is still a teenager!
6. Lence told us the Filipino Market is a good place to get local handicrafts.
7. Joy and Julian got a thing for feeding bottle. Kinky!

Kota Kinabalu Bloggers Meet – Shamrock Irish Bar

Sabahans are very hospitable people. This is evident from the bloggers meet that I just got back from. I had great fun getting to know some some really interesting bloggers from the Land Below The Wind and putting a face to the person behind the blog.

Thank you all for making time to attend the meet. I had a wonderful time. You have made our first trip to Kota Kinabalu even more memorable with you unreserved friendship.

Wuan and I would to extend special thanks Dee for organising this meet without which we would not have had the opportunity to experience this great Sabahan hospitality.

More updates with photos when we get back to Kuala Lumpur.
