The Awesome (Mini) Bloggers Gathering

by Daniel Chiam from The Writer Wannabe




I am one happy man to be surrounded by so many beautiful and lovely Borneo ladies. It's not an everyday thing, so please do excuse my vanity for a moment :D

I'm really grateful that everyone came just to hangout and have fun (and meet me)! It's really a joy to be able to hangout with bloggers that you have read their life and passion over the years and finally be able to meet them in person. I really had a lot of fun that day and I hope you all do too :D

Thank you Tom, Hayden, Calista, Sherrie, Diana, Wyne, Flo, Chegu Carol, Margaret, Meitzeu, Bev, Charlotte and the boyfriend for showing up. I super felt love that day :D

I actually prepared a toast in my head when I was on the way to meet you all, but wasn't able to actually made the toast. It was something like this:


Ladies (wink) and gentlemen, thank you for coming, and after awhile, I found that we all share something in common today; we all hate people who are not punctual, and for that I apologize for showing up late. I was unwell since yesterday and thus delayed my journey from Keningau to KK, and I'm really glad that I am still able to make it for this gathering.  
For those that who don't know me, I am Daniel and nice to meet you too. Those that has always been keeping in touch through Whatsapp, Email, Facebook, Twitter and most importantly blog, it's really glad to finally meet you in person and it's really really a great honor for me. My deepest gratitude to Chegu Carol for always making me feel welcome every time I'm back in Sabah by organizing gathering such as this. Thank you so much Chegu
Again, thank you so much for coming. I hope you all enjoyed the lunch and do mingle around, get to know one another and make new friends. Let this be one of the happy memory that you will write in your blog. To friendship!   
Thank you.

I hope you like it and I really can't thank you all enough for the meet up, and thank you for tolerating with how bad I look on that day. I seriously need to learn how to look chic no matter what, haha. Hope to see all of you again soon, and I really do appreciate the friendship among us.
