This is the best choice I've made in September 2009 - attending the first ever Malaysian Kuala Lumpur Twestival 2009 on 12 September 2009, 7pm to 10pm at Mist Club Bangsar.A big thanks to the #twestivalkl committee members (@davidlian, @nikicheong, @suanie, @Ling_Chan, @eevon, @radianceleong, and @nigelsia) and also the sponsors. It's all for a good cause! Check out the full list of sponsors here.
According to @twestivalkl, the event has raised RM10K for Destiny Starting Point, not to mention the two desktops from @DiGi_Telco. w00t!

Here's my ticket - 016, nice. But not good enough for lucky draw. :P Both 015 & 017 ticket holders were lucky enough to get something but not my number. LOL!
The mark on our arms to prove that we've entered Mist Club Bangsar. This is @wind_goddess' arm. :P
******************************
Here are some highlights:
*Great food from 1901Hotdogs, cupcakeChic, and New Zealand Natural.
*Hilarious "Fail Will" epic when emcee @willsquah accidentally pushed the standby button on the projector, causing the video to disappear from the big screen and @nikicheong cracked us up with his "Fail Will" (rhymes with Fail Whale) joke. Google it up if you can't get what's fail whale. :D
*Great time meeting Tweeples face-to-face, too many of them to be mentioned here! :P
*Tweets with the twestivalkl hashtag (#twestivalkl) are projected on screen and you can see many Tweeples tweeting away on their mobile devices!
*The lucky ones walked away with great gifts from great sponsors during the lucky draw session and the pretty auctioneer @elainedaly (Miss Malaysia/Universe 2003, Niki's cousin) caused "rowdiness" during the auction session!
*Pastor Stephan and a few teenagers from Destiny Starting Point, Klang made a special appearance on stage. How lovely! Their bright smiles mean a lot to us all.
In short, this is one giant, happening tweet-up with more than 200 people turning up and it's all for a good cause!
Oh yes, the best goodie bag ever!!! DiGi Broadband, Crocs, GSC, Starbucks, etc.******************************

what's in the Digi plastic bag? i didn't get that :(
ReplyDeletebryanlyt, these are in the goodie bag: a twitter.com/DiGi_Telco pen, a DiGi Broadband landyard, and a DiGi Broadband product leaflet. :)
ReplyDeletebryan: The plastic bag was only that - a plastic bag. For branding :) The other items were in all bags!
ReplyDeleteThanks to both of you for attending and for your support!
@nikicheong: Haha, no probs! Next time, I wanna be part of the committee, not for fame, but for charity! :D
ReplyDelete@bryanlyt: Let me follow you. :D
