Malaysia's Path Gathering 2012





A MONTH BEFORE THE GATHERING...

out of a sudden from a comment reply on Path where
David came out with the idea of a get together session
for all Malaysian's Path users at a particular date


after few days of discussion the comments and the whole
plan came true and it is gonna be happening for the 1st 
ever Malaysia's Path Gathering is gonna happen on  
2nd June 2012, Saturday at Fatspoon Cafe

Thanks to Trina for the poster!







3 WEEKS BEFORE THE GATHERING...

on the other side, there was this surprised phone call from
a guy named, Shak from UK clarifying from me regarding
the gathering and continued the process where emails were
sent to communicate with him and here comes a guy named,
Jeremy took over to in charge and send us surprises by
DHL-ing the samples of Path T-shirts

surprised there was two different colours of Path's TShirts
with proper packing and awesome TShirt material



path_tshirt1
Ta-Daaa! The front view of the Path TShirt designed with
the well-known emoticons from Path app that could be seen
all over our timeline of every post. It's cute!

Back view of the TShirt is just a simple small
Path logo below the rounded-neck top







1 WEEK BEFORE THE GATHERING...

table reservation made by David for 25 people at
Fatspoon Cafe as our final rough confirmation
attendees were a total number of roughly 15 heads
but the whole situation is still played by ear


while on Path there were many response given
on David's Path post and comment box where
each and every of them were interested about
the Path TShirts and also the gathering







2 HOURS BEFORE THE GATHERING...

the lucky draw numbers were being prepared just in
case there were really a big crowd of people to stand
the chance to win those Path TShirts







AT 7:30pm SHARP...

David and I arrived earlier than the expected time
at Fatspoon Cafe where we had conversations on
going while patiently waited for the attendees but
unfortunately David was disappointed by all of the
sudden replies of attendees who gave weird excuses
that they could not make it for the gathering!
What a waste of opportunity it is...

oh well, not disappointing ourselves with the number of
attendees, we ordered few Fatspoon Cafe's light bites.
While my friend Michelle arrived just on time where all
the special Fatspoon Cafe's Light Bites were served

While waiting for the final attendee, Nantha, we could not wait
any further to fill up our empty stomachs and there and then we
proceeded with all the special dishes of the night (Perut Ikan,
Curry Chicken, Steamed Tofu, Prawns to go with Rice) but it
was lucky for Nantha that he did arrived about 30 minutes after
when all the special dishes were served







AN HOUR AFTER 7:30PM...

at first we only thought there were total of four attendees
but coincidentally one of the Path user, named Firdhaus who
was having dinner with his wife and son just bumped into
Nantha and he just knew the Path gathering is happening
right here at Fatspoon Cafe, Uptown Damansara


with his enthusiasm of supporting our effort, Firdhaus
joined in and we started to introduce ourselves and i
guess that is with God's gift to allow us to meet new
people and share our prospects of our career and industry


the flow move on with just simple conversations between the
five of us - David, Nantha, Michelle, Fidhaus and I and we
all have the same perspective to have a bigger crowd during
the next gathering which is gonna happen again soon

ALMOST THE END OF THE GATHERING...

Path app made its first launched in November 2011
This is a screenshot showing that Nantha used Path
for almost a year. Is this true? Can anyone clarify
so that he might be the "1st Malaysia's Path User"!
* round applause for Nantha *
