The Sabahan Bloggers Gathering was excellent! Tons of praise to Fara, Dino, Jacq, Wei Chuen, Emelda, Daniel, Papajoneh, and Julian for a splendid job. The venue was a great choice, the entertainment top-notch, no long, winding boring speeches (yes!), and the atmosphere was good. We had Starbucks coffee at the registration table, and inside the restaurant, take-as-many-times-as-you-want ice cream courtesy of Vedablu (yummy!). The food was okay, but I’m not sure if it disagreed with my tummy. A sharp pain in my stomach woke me up very early this morning and I had to go to the toilet. After that, I had to go twice more. Thankfully, everything’s clear now and I’m back to my gluttonous self (ha!).
I guess the highlight of the evening was the lucky draw. There were some great prizes, but having never been a lucky person when it comes to lucky draws, it was no surprised that I didn’t get any. At least I got a goodie bag, and I made some new friends. Also got to meet with some people in the flesh I got to know through the blogs and flickr.
Wont write much; I’ll let the photos do the talking, with a bit of explanation at the bottom. The pics I’m posting haven't gone through the usual processing because I’m quite tired. But I thought, I’d get them up as soon as possible…just to get everyone who couldn’t/didn’t come jealous! ;-)
As the song goes, it was indeed “Oh, what a night!”.
