I don't know what everyone else was saying but mine was....... TO THE MOON 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀

Was a great first official hangout with the rest of the #teammalaysia Steemians. Everyone has been busy meeting and getting new people on Steemit, blogging for the most part and now we get to chill out and hangout with one another.

I honestly was was contemplating not going today and calling up my manager to tell him to take the lead on hosting the gathering as I was hit with a bad flu and sore throat. Felt so lethargic and just well... plain lousy..... the weather these past 3 days isn't helping either as we're having a spell of non stop rain for the past 36 hours or so.

Woke up this morning pretty beat up and still sick but determined to make it as it was the first meetup and most of all it was being hosted at my own "home" Big Hug.

The People

Hive account@aaronleang photographer of the day
Hive account@awesomianist flew all the way from Miri, East Malaysia and then going back tomorrow!... Mad props!
Hive account@crypto3d 3D artist and meeting him for the first time. Had a great chat and awesome pic together.
@(sorry don't know who the other person was as there were really too many people to get to know!)

Amongst the people here were, cartoonist and artist, voice actors, programmers, musicians, family people, animators, writers and of course cryptoheads!

Really wished I could chat more and take more pictures with everyone however, duty calls.......

(taking orders from all 60 Steemians present! Wohoo! Was a pleasure serving you guys!)

You never know where life takes you when you just live wholeheartedly one day at a time.

I think without Steemit, we'd probably have never met each other but just like in the crypto-verse, anything can happen!

Yep you better believe it.... Big Hug is gonna be the first ever restaurant in Malaysia to accept STEEM and SBD, the second in the world behind pioneers Hive account@progressivechef

Here's Hive account@bitrocker2020 making the momentous official announcement of the news! There's gonna be more details, updates and future works on The Big Hug Initiative on my blog in days to come. I'm really excited for this but know that a lot of challenges lies ahead. However, I'm determined to make spending in STEEM a reality!

All in all it looked like everyone had fun and for the most part, happy meeting each other in person for the first time. Here's to many more great things from all of us at #teammalaysia as we continue to grow and blog!

And to everyone who wanted to come but couldn't, we wished you were here with us!

Now... time for some meds and head to bed ~~~~~
