What a night and all thanks to @carolfung
This is my second year in participating in the ecommerce Chinese New Year Lou Sang gathering. So some of you may be asking what is Lou Sang ??? In theory its a dish which is made out of several key ingredients with fish and other stuff. The idea is that all diners at the table will stand up and then toss the ingredients into the air with chopsticks. And while doing this saying multiple auspicious wishes . The higher you toss will determine how much fortunes will come to you. This is where the mess comes in , however its a fun tradition which seems to be only popular among the chinese in Malaysia and Singapore. Don't get me started on who started it first. =D
It was great to meet a lot of new faces, as these are people who are from the e-commerce industry throughout Malaysia. @orangila was graciously to introduce to me a printing company. Had a great chat with them and were willing to sponsor TeamMalaysia SWAGS for our future events which would be just awesome !

@carolfung (organiser) , @orangila & me
These were just few of the industrial players and the printing company is the one bottom right
Introducing Julia ...
A strong driver for women on web and a brand new steemian. Hopefully she would start blogging real soon. She has run hundreds of events focusing on women entrepreneurship and we used to run Google based programs targeting individuals who wanted to use/integrate technology for their business. Its always great to meet familiar faces in networking events.
New collaborations with TeamMalaysia
Seeing that there is a huge market of new entrepreneurs wanting to "try" or start a company to do ecommerce. I approached a 2 e-commerce platform providers and recommended a collaboration together to further educate their clients to start blogging about their products on Steemit or just start a blog !
The responds was positive from both ends and they would first be attending our next 100 Degrees for Singer , Songwriter and Musician. Hopefully this would help us grow even faster as most entrepreneur are not aware of such blogging platform exist.
Summary
It was weird when people asked me what I do. I would just responds to "Social Blogger" ... typical answer would be "ahhhhhh.... ( short pause ) blogging huh ...." Lolz ... It was indeed a great night and @carolfung was the champ here ! With @orangila literally shooting everyone !!! Great stuff guys !! Looking forward to the next event.
