Octoberfest in Penang 2010

Octoberfest have been going on for years but this is the first time I was there! It is located near the MBS school where the Malaysian-German Society is located.

My cousin sister invited me to join her for the event. The ticket for the entrance fee was RM 25. They actually control the incoming crowd so it won't be over crowded.

The queue was long at the food corner...but worth the wait. The food was yummy! :-)

Besides all the food, there were drinking competition for guys and gals. These people can drink!!

I had fun!

Tweetup with Jonathanfun

Yesterday was the Saturday that was booked in my calendar for a few weeks. It's a tweetup for Jonathanfun from Malacca who is currently working in Kluang. He was here over the weekend for some photography event. At the same time, he asked me to assist him with a tweetup with Penang Twitters! :-)

Before heading to Gurney, I picked Tammy up for dinner and since she is on vegetarian yesterday... We had dinner at Sri Ananda Bahwan. My first time there and I enjoyed my dinner.

The tweetup was suppose to be at 8pm Gurney Plaza and I had a few confirmation of attendance from Tammy Khoo, Jason Gan, Shoggy Teoh and family, Tjun Chye, Christines Teoh and Louis Quah. However, last min Louis could not make it was he was sick but we had CJ Tan and Jaine with us.

The entire night was an amazing tweet up! Besides that, the guys playing with their iPads and exchanging applications. Also not forgetting the candid shots too! :P












With that they came out with face impersonation using iPad applications and magazine too! Here are some of the pictures....

There and then a facebook page was created! Check it out at #whoisbehindthis

Snap a picture using this concept and post more in facebook!

The time went by so fast and we left Gurney nearly close to 1am. The guys decided to have K session at OXO Cafelab. We headed there to have someone good times and all of them can sing! Melts my heart away......

Food: Burger King

Burger King in Penang! Finally the arrival..... The location is along Jelutong Express near The Spring Condo. Tammy and myself decided to go for a try since it is newly open in Penang. When we arrived, we are shock that the place was packed. However, that didn't stop us from going in. While waiting for our turn, we foursquare and do some tweeting.....

I ordered the whopper set. To be honest, I was kinda disappointed with the taste of it. I still think Burger King in KL taste nicer and juicier too.

Don't think I will go back there again soon.

#SMCPG : Social Media Club Penang 1

The event was a great success...  we got our swarm badge (Foursquare)! It's the first swarm badge in Penang. The speakers were amazing and the crowd too. Here are some of the pictures of the core team and volunteers who hang out a few days before the event.

This picture was taken by Tammy Khoo. It was a great time with all these people. Their passion for social media and being part of it. From left to right we have Siew Peng, Jason Gan, Shoggy Teoh, myself, Christine Teoh, Chew Tjun Chye, Tammy Khoo, Louis Quah and Thean Soon (the one with the cap).

On that evening, there were more than 50 people who make an effort to attend the event both locally from Penang and there are about 9 people who travelled from Kuala Lumpur to support us in this event. They are Hakin, Harinder and 2 other friends, Daniel Tan, Princess Jo, Seema and bf and another friend. 

Here are some of the pictures taken from the event. This is the live tweet.

*Sista*

Let me do so introduction... We have Kelvin Tan @ UncleBotak, myself and Mei Yen and we are labelled Sista. This picture was taken last evening at Winter Warmers @ QBM. First time for the stalker @ UncleBotak to meet Mei Yen. 

You can either label last evening as great tweet up, stalker meet up or dinner gathering but I must say it was FUN! I bet Mei Yen had a great time knowing UncleBotak and vice versa too. It's just amazing how people connect via twitter and facebook now. Thru these past months, I also believed that people who are actively on twitter are more sociable and more friendships are eventually created! I thank God for social media like twitter... cause there is where I get to know a lot of new friends. 

Photography: New Friends

I am sick.. coughing non-stop. Hope I can get well soon before SMCPG this Oct 7 at Suntec. Meanwhile, I wanna share the pictures of all my friends that was taken recently.
