I'm using this really awesome photo of the #teammalaysia CNY gathering because I have FOMO(Fear of Missing Out). If you look very closely at this official group photo taken by @orangila, the official #teammalaysia photographer, I am not inside. But it's okay because I have spent some good time with my friends in our own BBQ event.

It was truly a really packed weekend for me back to back with several events to go to but I can only choose one! All in all, I had around 5 events that were running concurrently which was the 25th February and all at dinner time.
But someone have told me that it'll be bad to have more than one zord. Haha. What say you? To be honest, I was also torn in between decisions on which event I should go, the CNY BBQ Party which was planned way before by my friends or the #teammalaysia CNY Gathering. I decided to go for the BBQ party because I have already promised my friends and I was glad that I could be with them for that evening at the BBQ because it has been quite awhile that we had a party together.
Anyways, after church, my friends and I went to NSK hypermarket to buy some BBQ materials & ingredients for the BBQ that we were going to have at night at @sam.hsuu's place.

And here I was setting up the BBQ pit with charcoal while the others were preparing the ingredients we bought.
This is me waiting for the charcoal to burn. Haha, I know some of you may have better ways to start this fella. I used wooden pellet firestarters to start em.
And we're off with the lamb and pork first! Ohhh I loved the lamb especially when u cook em medium. Gotta have a glass of red wine with it.
Trying hard to make my own pita wrap, or whatever you call it. Just wanted to have something wrapping my meat like a burger.
Ohhh, the sad thing was we all forgot to take a group photo. When we were full, @saltytomato was still BBQ-ing for the latecomers while the rest of us were resting at the bench and being social media junkies. Instagramming, facebooking, discording...is that even a word? XD
With my shirt and body smelling like BBQ fumes, I checked my watch to find out that it was only 9.00pm! I straight away texted @joannewong to see if I could crash the #teammalaysia CNY Gathering! She immediately sent me the location to her residence, Setia Sky Residence. A very luxurious condominium where the gathering was held.
When I arrived at Setia Sky Residence, I bumped into someone who I've known on Steemit but haven't seen ever since I joined Steemit! The Magnificent @ackhoo! @aaronleang was asking me to guess who she was but I was so blur rushing for the gathering. Along came @happycrazycon, @iamjadeline & her son, Jansen. Definitely a MUST-HAVE group photo!

They were already leaving which left me sad. I hope to catchup with you all in the next gathering or meetup. @aaronleang then led me to the suite where the gathering was held. heart pumping. Upon arriving, I saw a few Steemians had already left. @elizacheng and her daughters had left earlier because it was school day the next day. It was always hard to meet up with her little children. Maybe next time!
I did indeed meet some new faces that I've never met before. Let me see if I can remember them. @nickychu, and @aaronteng. Oh! I also managed to meet @kevinwong for the first time. He came for Big Hug Burger the last time, but I didn't recognize him. Silly me. Also, the STEEMFEST crew that came all the way from India to join our CNY Gathering. @firepower, a witness and his crew members, @shenoy, @sjennon and @varunpinto. (Congratz on your 2000 followers @sjennon).

This is one amazing guy who has been supporting me all the time. He is an architect and he has done some really amazing designs on Steemit too. Do check him out and his initiative #archisteem.
Because I wasn't in the big group photo, I'm glad I was able to be in this one with so many beautiful people. After that, most of them have left which leaves a few of us who decided to take it to the after party home, @aaronleang & @joannewong's suite.
Everyone was chilling listening to @firepower and his crypto stories and just getting to know one another. @bitrocker2020 then introduced some of our #teammalaysia's talents. A professional pianist , @calebleejl and his wife, @silviagoh & singer songwriter, @michelleloh168.
The night ended with another group photo. Although it was a busy weekend, back to back with events and reaching home at 2am but I feel that these are the memories worth cherishing. With my friends, @macam.yes, @sam.hsuu, @notimetospace, @saltytomato and @nanastraybutt at the BBQ event and definitely #teammalaysia peeps.
Lastly, I want to thank the host of the #teammalaysia CNY Gathering 2018, @aaronleang & @joannewong who have organized a lot behind the scenes to make this gathering a success. Not forgetting @bitrocker2020 and the other committee members, @littlenewthings, @elizacheng, @karinzdailygrind, and @orangila.
