My First Marathon Experience

That geeky guy who ran with a backpack? He ran past me. That uncle
who looked stunningly similar to the sensational Youtube short clip
'Bus Uncle'? He ran past me too. That old lady whom you normally gave
up your seats for? Yup, she ran past me too, a while ago. It's hard for
anyone not to run past me when I was literally hobbling. What's worse?
The fact that there's still 27KM to go.

2nd Penang Tech Meetup

The 2nd Penang Tech Meetup was awesome. We have Chan (@keesiak), the founder and CEO of Exabytes.

And Kris (@kriskhaira), one of the best UI and web designer in Malaysia, who joined us since the first meetup.

And Terence (@terencekung), a brand and marketing extraordinaire, gave us a lot of insights on doing social media marketing.

And me, who forgot to take his own photo. Five of us from completely different walks of life came together, shared ideas, expressed opinions and exchanged knowledge for 4 hours straight. Want to join us in our next meetup in December (we do it once a month)? Just drop me an email (or comment here would be fine) to request for an invitation. Note: I figured the name of our meetup 'Penang Tech Startup Founder Meetup' is simply too long and decided to shorten it to just 'Penang Tech Meetup'.
