When I got back into Steemit earlier this year, l started looking for other Steemians in Malaysia. I stumbled across #teammalaysia and started reading different posts. It was cool to see how active the members were. I could see they were really committed to the platform - hosting Steemit boot camps, meetups, and encouraging people to blog regularly.
I reached out to to see if
and I could join them for one of their writing workshops. He said we were definitely welcome ... and then Matt went back to the US for two months. Focused on caring for the twins by myself, I totally forgot about it. And after Matt got back, I kept missing the meetup announcements.

helped entertain Squirt when she got tired of the baby chair. And Squish thought “Uncle Zord” was pretty cool.
I was officially added to teammalaysia ... with half the team escorting me back to our condo!! 😉 Even though we’d just met, they didn’t hesitate to offer us a ride home. And as it turns out, a few of them actually live near us!
Looking forward to seeing all of you next year! 🎊
