Thanks Timothy for helping to promote it on NUFFNANG. I appreciate your help. 
Please confirm your attendance with Jacq by 29th June 07 by contacting her. If we get the right number, I might be able to attract a sponsor, but no promises. If it swells up to over 30 pax, there may be a plan B, so please leave your contact details with Jacq or me so we could keep you posted. Thanks!
I shall be setting my tail end at the Radius during my 6 night sojourn (Thanks Debbie for hooking it up). So, if any of you free from 6th to 12th July, and would like to meet up for spirits, contact me.
My itinerary - anyone can tag along, just let me know so I could make arrangements.

Sunday 8 July
Whitewater Rafting @ Padas 7am to 6:30pm

Tip of Borneo, Kudat @ 10am
I can’t wait to get away from the trammels of the Klang Valley, and am looking forward to meeting all of you. A bunch of strangers shall become friends at the end of the day.
Yes, I’m addicted to socializing. 
So, YOU READY?
Fellow bloggers, need your help to spread the word around. If you are in KK on 6th July, let’s meet up.

have a great whitewater rafting experience!
Enjoy & keep safe.
As they say in KK, “buli tahan ko ni”.. I’ve lived in KK for more than 10 years now and I’ve never even been to Jesselton Point.. yet! Shame on me!
Would love to meet up. Let’s see if I can reschedule my drinking parties.. nyeh nyeh.
Sounds like a cool trip - will you be climbing up Mount KK?
O MY GOSH! It’s like a dream come true. Finally somebody is doing it. But why not make it on school holidays. Hehe. Will be working la….
Yes, to those of you who are in KK, please do come and join us! Let’s make this long overdue Sabah Bloggers Meet happen!

Jemima Will do, thanks.

Giddy Tiger No, I won’t be climbing Mount K. I’m not into highlands.
earthy emily Well, come for dinner at least, that would be good enough.
JACQ OLE!
clement Sure, do join. As for transport, I can’t really help you there. As for the cost, well, to each is own I suppose. The idea is to mingle and get to know one another.
Jewelle Jahat!
Wah.. I am tempted lah. How lah this…
I will promote habis-habisan!

[...] More details here [...]
Hmm.. I *might* be in KK by then.

If I cant make it, Debs can go on my behalf…. LOL.
Kay Kastum LOL. It’ll even be better if you show up.
zewt Well, not enough by my standards!
cindy Come come, I wanna see how nice Sabahans are as Kay mentioned.
Julian Err, no, Debs is Debs. Come la…are Sabahans shy by nature?
let me check my wallet first…hopefully there’s enough moolah for me to get my sorry a** back to KK around that time…cheers!
I need to come up with a budget and discuss this with my CEO and board of directors (read: hubby and kids) for approval. But I’m looking forward to the appointment, and will distribute this memo to my internal and external customers (read: my on-line contacts and web site visitors) very soon.
wahhh……sabahan bloggers….alot of familiar names hehe….bah….i wish all u sabahan bloggers in KK can make this happen la..then post banyak2 gambar k…ladeedaaa~~~
puxape Go apply for credit cards…
Seriously, I’m organizing a blogger booze-rama in the third week of July, for us Klang Valley bloggers. 
Lorna I don’t think the budget will be astronomical…
dopeymooke Hopefully, fingers crossed that it’ll happen.
interesting meeting. But it’s fall on friday right? Man, im still working that time. by the time i reach home, i already half dead. hopefully gaman there too. maybe i can get the green light from my ms.Papa
Baaaaa..mari la kamurang suma. Datang lah…bawa satu kampung…jangan malu-malu. Yg lalaki-lalaki tu…tulung balanja sia minum ah di toscani. Kalau prompuan lawa, kamurang balanja tu kan. Kakakakkaka..
By the way, yg mau cuba white water rafting di padas on 8 July, tulung register sama sia…we’re trying to get more than 20 people to join. Sia inda pandai baranang tapi lima kali suda white water rafting at padas and I’m still alive and blum puas. Marila join kami…si daniel franklin gomez ni mau cuba butul…kasi kawan la ba dia…kasi tinguk yg kamurang ada tontolou dan tonsilots. Hahahahaha. Bikin malu ja orang sabah yg tidak pernah cuba water rafting at padas or naik gunung kinabalu..mesti cuba!
Ok, uncle dodo..i’ve done my part.
Sekian, terima..
Wait!!! Don’t forget about me guys !!! I’m joining in also.. Please email me the details or links gallivanter!!
papajoneh It would be an honor if you could join us.

Man… I really would like to see this… I would love to join you guys! =)
Cool~ KK Blogger meeting.. Pity I would only be back on 6th July.. Flight full on 5th.. Haha~
wah sure sounds like fun and i want to be part of this.. but.. im not really with the “in crowd” bah nowadays (ya like last time in crowd la me kunun)… how do i know im lost without a crowd? i dont even know where (or what) Toscani is haha.. can bring toddler ka that?
Hhahahaa.. lucky mrBadak mentioned there… i don’t even know where Toscani too… hahaha. Ketara never go out one. Ahh well, those were the days, Top Ten is my friend. Now, Enfagrow, Dumex, Folate Milk… isk isk isk.
Whatever it is… take lots of pictures…. Julian you go too ok. I wonder, If I ever managed to slip past my two bosses at home and be there, can you all recoqnize me? Well, I definitely notice you Gall
Make it a success meeting.
[...] To those of you who are still in the dark about this thing, you can just head on over to read Gallivanter’s post on this here. [...]
wow so happening. Too bad i can’t be there and i am scared to meet people
Lahad Datu is 540 km away from KK. 8 hours by car. 50 minutes by FAX flight, if they don’t decide to cancel flights again.
Interesting. Must try to convince boss there’s this really great seminar in KK that I really must attend…
julian sabah Then come join!
Dra I’m flying out on the 6th too. If you can’t make it, I’m sure some of us will be adjourning to a club afterwards, there’s still a chance to join.
mrBadak It’s at the waterfront, please do come. I would love to meet up with bloggers from KK. And yes, you can bring toddlers, just keep them away from me as they might get nightmares.
papajoneh Let me talk to you bosses at home, bald people have uncanny persuasion skills. LOL.
xin Don’t worry, I may look bald, but I’m not a cannibal.
Are you based in KK? Come join, and we’ll have a great time! 
Wombat It would be a pleasure if you could make it. If you’re actually coming from that distance, then I’ll make sure you’ll be our guest of honor.
Wombat is from Lahad Datu? Been to Kunak Mr Wombat?
Nice one. Unfortunately I am not from around KK - may be next time. Thanks for the invite anyway man
Eeeee…jelesnyaaaaaaa~!!! I won’t be there during that time~! I baru start my sem ni!! Eee..kamurang ni kannn.. kasi tinggal sia saturang sinii!!! Who else is left out here in KL~! We do gathering together-gether, mau?? hihi hehe waaaa sedihh…
*sob*sob*
aiyark… I stuck in Australia lar..
Only can meet you guys end of the year..
*sad sad*
gaman Where are you? Perhaps we could meet up in the third week of July for the Blogger Booze.
Ratu Syura Hold that thought, there will be a Blogger Booze in the third week of July (probably at the Curve), shall confirm.
Flanegan Aiks, don’t be sad my friend, we shall meet one day.
I shall pretend I know where Toscani’s is.
Adidididi… Siap with list lagi…
[...] Social Gathering on the 6th July 2007 @ Jesselton’s Point. Bah! Apa lagi… Join lar. Click here for more [...]
Blogger Booze? Bah. Confirm lah.. but Sabah still syok bah.
Lorna I’ve no idea where that is, but I know how to get to the Waterfront. Contact me if you need assistance.
Davelynne
And hopefully I get help from all of you to pass the word around to fellow bloggers.
Kay Kastum I’m hoping that this KK meet’s a success. I’ll confirm the dates of the Blogger Booze in the coming week or 2.
KK bloggers aa.. is there anyone from Papar? haha! since im not a true blogger, am i allowed to come?
i just want to come and see who is this, who is that..etc u know, all of this time i only recognize your domain name..or your nickname on the net.. i only saw you people’s name everywhere on the net, i only know you’re sabahan, chatted through messenger.. but never know you in person.. the only blogger ive met in the list up there is MrBadak.. haha!
if i got nothing to do that day, maybe can la come2 support the event, join the crowd.. anyway, whats the activity aaa? bring our notebook and all blog about the event at the same time over there? gift exchange? any merchandise we can buy ka? tshirt ka.. badges ka..
Pai Yes, please do join. Bloggers and aspiring bloggers…
Well, there’s no planned itinerary, just spontaneous socializing. 
which waterfront is this? anjung senja? im confuse coz you’re showing jesselton points pic up there.. what time? so far im 90% confirmed..
tell you guys early aa, im not the ‘bnyk ckp’ type of person, u will find me ‘hyper-quiet’, trust me.. especially when i met new people.. hahahah! so, just drag me into any conversations, ill blend myself into it..
whoelse is coming?
Pai, usually when we say Waterfront in KK, it’s the one across the road of Warisan Square. Looking forward to meeting you.
Kay Kastum : Kunak? Of course I have been to Kunak. Steamed ikan garupa, sotong goreng, kichap prawns, payau hotplate, limau manis for dessert.
Freshest sea food in Malaysia.
[...] quoted from Gallivanter’s Blog [...]
OK, the promotion is on. Let there be the biggest together-gather in town… after the recent Digi Fu-yohh concert at Padang Merdeka. Hahaha.
Pai Don’t worry, I’ll drag you into conversations as much as I can.
Wombat Thanks for making me hungry.
papajoneh LOL, thanks for helping to spread the message! Fingers and toes crossed for your appearance at the meet.
thanks man.. just wait for the big, fat and ugly guy comes in.. haha!
suddenly all sabahan blogger shows up.. cool.. where you people been hiding all of these time? i only kwow a few sabah blogs, now i know there’s a lot more out there!
i think http://www.mysabah.com should be invited..
huhu..nice. All Bloggers..opss.All Sabahan Bloggers meet up..i’m confirm 100% i can’t come to this meet up..:(
teda nasib la…
@Ratu Syura…kl d mana??jom gathering..haha
Pai, he’s definitely on my list! Emailing him now actually!
Wombat- My dad is working in Mostyn estate (now known as Golden Hope Plantation)
I used to go hunting for babi hutan la, cari katak la, monkey..ehem…plus all the exotic stuff you can find.
Missed Kunak so much.
Good. A Turning Point to Sabahans bloggers… yes!
i’ll join you guys~ ha ha. but i duno most of them there.. so, shy shy la~ and most of my frens neither write nor read blogs.. so, i’ll go there alone
Clement,
no worry man, i never met these people too, so im going on my own (too)..
lets meet up there! it’s not easy to meet people with something in common these days, we’ll only find them on the net.. 
Pai Yes, please spread the word around, and get them to contact JACQ.
LAi Nevermind, I’m planning another for Klang Valley towards the 3rd week of July.
Alb Please do come, Alb, it would be great!
clement It doesn’t matter, after all, this meet is to break an ice or 50.
Is there any chance for the dinner to be postponed to 7th July. I mean it is Saturday.
(still working on saturday morning. If dinner on friday scared cannot get up the next morning. hehe)
I think most of us will be working as well the next day earthy emily. Alaa.. dinner only mah.. just make an appearance if you can’t stay that long. This is not everyday, you know.. :p
Toscani’s.. hmm.. hows the food? sure kenyang ka?
i dont care bout the wine since i dont ‘drink’..
i dont know, can guarantee the food is something i ‘can’ eat?
i like Benito’s anyway, jesselton point there.. miss the chocolate cup.. haha! since it’s 7.30pm, i think im going there straight from the office~lah, no time to go home and come to town again.. so dont ask if still wear ‘baju kerja’..
Gallivanter : And you don’t get that in KK. You want best seafood in Malaysia without breaking the bank, head for Sabah’s east coast (Sandakan, Tawau, Kunak, Lahad Datu etc.)
Guest of honour? I am not worthy, my lord, although I did run the first BBS (Bulletin Board Service) in Sabah in 1995 called The Flying Wombat BBS. One year later the internet happened and it died a fast death. Talk about bad timing. (My good pal OrangUtan http://my.opera.com/orangutan2006/blog/ in Lahad Datu ran the second one called Under The Yam Yam Tree BBS. Its fate was the same as mine).
Kay Kastum : I was zooming around Mostyn estate in 1987 until 1993 in my company’s Hilux, servicing the oil mill. I think that plot of 45+ year old oil palm trees are still there.
Firstly, everyone…please don’t admit you’re shy to come or shy to meet people because in real life you are actually not. Come on! join us la…if you’re the quiet/shy-type of person who doesn’t talk much…so be it…who cares coz i am one too..be there anyway…i’m sure you won’t feel left out because we’re going to talk to you!!!
Secondly, Gallivanter, Jacq and I decide to have it on 6 july at Toscani because we think it is a perfect time…besides, gallivanter aka dodo has other adventures to attend to on other days (didn’t you see his itinerary?). Those working on Saturday (like me), we just have to sacrifice a few hours on friday night to expand our circle of friends. Promise it won’t stretch till 11 or 12 midnight. The best thing is you have the liberty to leave whenever you think you should. No one would be hurt or sad.
Thirdly, go confirm your name now…without hesitation. You know 6 July is slightly after gaji…so you’ll still be rich. Wouldn’t hurt to splurge a little for your tummy, right? Most important thing is you’ll have new acquaintances around you. Strangers waiting to be your friends. Come lah…jangan malu-malu.
Fourthly, don’t just talk and be excited…BE EXCITED AND TRULY COME TO THIS GATHERING. Most of all, be yourself when you come.
Ok, sekian terima…phew, what a life story.
Wombat: Ya.. I think so lah. Haven’t been there for a year ++ already.
Debs: My eyes all watery reading your comment. Oh wait. Got dust lah..
earthy emily As JACQ said, it’s not everyday a bloggers’ meet takes place in KK.
Pai Well, food is secondary, socializing comes first.
No problem, at least I’d recognize you.
Wombat It’s been AGES since I last heard someone mentioning Bulletin Board Service. LOL. Anyways, I do hope you could sneak away, and no, I’m not the devil.
Debs Wow, that is a life story, I hope it spurs some “shy” bloggers to show up.
Gallivanter & JACQ: I thought my blog post on Ulu Patikang would be the most commented post in the history of Sabah, but you’ve broken it already with this post
Question: Is Toscani’s a very loud place like Hard Rock Cafe KL after 11pm?
quexerra.com + bengodomon.com will also ask members of the Firehouse Music and Recreation Club (guys at Sabah’s very own unknown band Papier Mache if they can come: http://eggs.pinolobu.com)
Will confirm asap.
[...] Together with JACQ, Gallivanter wil be masterminding a KK bloggers social gathering on the 6th of July 2007 @ 7:30PM. The venue is at Toscani’s @Waterfront. All bloggers all around Sabah or in any district around KK are invited to join the gathering. The gathering is also open to all bloggers and non-bloggers based in KK. Well, I’ll be there because I think it is the 1st time in Sabah where bloggers from KK could meet each other. Thanks to JACQ and Gallivanter, we’ll soon meet!! Don’t forget guys and gals!! The more the merrier!!! Check the details out here! [...]
bengodomon, Toscani’s is a restaurant actually. There’s no band there at all.
Thought of going but I’m shy. *blush*
http://caneeliea.com/kk-bloggers-meet/
only 5 confirmed so far?
Pai, I’ve seen several bloggers ‘confirming’ their attendance through their own blog! LOL..
Everyone, if you are planning to go, please give your details to me so I can put your name on the Confirmed List! Thanks.
Dee There’s no need to be shy. Come come, I promise I won’t bite. LOL
Pai Well, I hope what my Sabahan friend said about fellow Sabahans is not true. Fingers crossed.
JACQ I really do hope a good number shows up, and prove this KL-ite (me) wrong, that Sabahans can mingle…
Gallivanter: I might drop by to say hello then
Have fun you guys and gals!
I am definitely not able to join the fun
wished it was done earlier when I was in KK last month.
Will be waiting for the pics & stories from you all then.
I am from the Interior part of Sabah, I could drive but can’t make it though during that date.
Blogger Booze? Sounds good - what’s that?
nahkan… Gaman from interior
Gaman, if u coming, I’ll definitely be there 
So everyone, force, urge, threatened, whatever needed, Gaman must be there LOL.
j/k
Dee Yes, please do.
Ann Are you free on the 21st July 07? The Curve?
gaman What a pity. Well, I’ll have a drink on your behalf.
The Blogger Booze is another event I’m looking to organize in KL next month. 
papajoneh Can I just get Gaman to give me a life-size photo of him, and I’ll hang it on display at the meet? Would you go then?
Daniel Franklin Gomez, hehe, can’t make it (KK). Looking forward to the mentioned Blogger Booze though. I am around PJ. Thanks for the invitation.
“Pai - Well, I hope what my Sabahan friend said about fellow Sabahans is not true. Fingers crossed.”
wohoo.. this one sounds scary.. what do you mean, man? what did your fellow Sabahan friends said about Sabahan?
Sunsuron- Oh..you are in PJ bah tu… maybe we can go Amcorp Mall and have a cuppa yeah?
sunsuron Cool, I’ll see you at the Blogger Booze then.
Pai LOL, I’ll tell you what they said when I meet you in person.
Kay Kastum And then save yourselves for a cuppa alcohol on the third weekend of July.
[...] event is masterminded by Jacq and Gallivanter, so, it would be fantastic if we could all meet up and go bananas! Once again, this dinner is open [...]

clement Well, we need to get the right numbers, I wonder if we could actually get 50 to show up, cause then sponsors will be REALLY interested.
aryst Thanks for helping to spread the word. Appreciate it.
Steven Wong Thanks Steven. Are you based in KK or Klang Valley or … ? If you’re in KL, I’m planning a blogger booze session on the 21st July.
Anthony Yeah, I’m sure there are many more, they’re just shy…
up to 50 people in Toscani? damn.. hehe! if we reach 50, we all go to BED la! amacam?
Pai Well, plan B was Jesselton. So let’s see. After that we could all go to bed. LOL.

MrBadak,

Hi Gallivanter,
I am based in Klang Valley, in fact from Subang Jaya, very near Shah Alam.
“Blogger booze session on the 21st July” in Klang Valley? Sound interesting … Can you private email me your plan see how can I help here?
Pai Yeah, so I need all the help I can get from fellow Sabahan bloggers to spread the news around. It’ll give us leverage to negotiate with the sponsors.
Steven Wong Thanks for the offer - just sent you an e-mail.
again, mrBadak make me laugh with his
“aisey..i cant go to BED with u all… but i’ll try to get my wife drunk so i can go to bed with her muahahaha.”

bengodomon Thank you!
I’m bringing a few people myself - Jacq has updated the list. 
Pai Call Jessica Alba and ask her what does she say to a tiger?
Paris Hilton and Hilary Duff, don’t bother. LOL.
karulann Well, there’s another one I’m organizing on the 21st in KL.
LAi LOL. I don’t think Alba’s into yellowman.
vivien No problem.
Lorna Yes yes yes!
Pai LOL, that’s it, I’m gonna give you some talk time at Toscani’s to address the attendees.
oh no! come on man..
i promise i wont be naughty anymore.. hahaha!
im going to be the shy guy who sit at the corner,
just looking around, listening to what you guys had to say, pretending to be nerd.. u know..
so now we have 50pax already is it?
Hahahaha. Cilaka ooopss…
Pai… its official then, you the eMCee that nite. cannot back out already. You the most talented one. Just don’t bring those two girls up there. Jessica Alba ok(I hope she’s not into invicible mode that time).
Lorna, thanks for coming. Looking forward for all bloggers meeting.
Dan aka Gall, I’ve got to take picture with u. If the meeting success, I want to be remembered as the short guy who shook hand with The Man! You Bon Jovi Rock lah!
Pai - Too late my friend. There’s no turning back now. Anyone who has Alba’s phone number deserves some talk time.
And no, we haven’t reached 50 yet
papajoneh - The meeting’s success is down to all of us, there’s only one of me to go around and mingle, so I’m hoping everyone would socialize without the need to feel shy. But of course, photo sessions are a must.
aisehmen.. cannot la like that..
the organizer should be the emcee for that night..
im kidding about Alba man, actually it was Borat!
hahahahahahh!
i must take picture with all of you, including your name and URL.. i want to make a sabahan blogroll yearbook man..
Gall, we must take picture, you going to be on the frontpage.. haha!
Pai Well, nothing much, just talk about the meet, bla bla bla, and then share your secret on you managed to get Alba’s number. Try to find me Jolie’s one while you’re at it, and Jacinda Barrett too. LOL.
aisehmen.. im doomed!
pai - LOL. Not to worry, I don’t think any of us will be under the spotlight that night.
ANNOUNCEMENT - THE VENUE HAS BEEN SWITCHED TO PIRATES OF BORNEO, JESSELTON POINT (KOTA KINABALU JETTY/CUSTOM).

Pirates Of Borneo? cool..
‘Pai’rate will come!
p/s: managed to get sponsor?
is there a restaurant there?
Is it this Pirates of Borneo (http://kkfood.blog.com/1839118/)? If so, yes it’s a restaurant.
Update from Jacq: there are 2 branches of this restaurant, one in Jesselton Point, and another in Waterfront. The gathering is at the one in Jesselton Point. So don’t go to the wrong place…
Ah…. The Curse Of The Restaurants With Two Branches. No matter what we do, someone will still get the locations mixed up. It is a mathematical inevitability.
i believe this is the one that opposite the suria futsal entrance, is it? formerly known as benito’s bistro?
somebody should put up a map for this..
na.. a map as per Pai’s directions

Is this a family-friendly place, Pirates of Borneo? If it’s a non-smoking joint, I might want to bring my son along because I owe him a seafood meal (he got 2nd in school recently, yeah!).
papajoneh Yes, it’s confirmed.
julian sabah No problemo, need you to inform JACQ about this. Thanks.
Pai Well, all I got was a couple of hundred ringgit from Nuffnang. We’ll make do with that as I’ll be buying simply lucky draw gifts.
clement Yup, formerly known as Benito’s, now Pirates of Borneo.
bengodomon That’s it. JESSELTON.
Wombat Hmm, I won’t be surprised if it does happen, as the venue change is kinda last minute, no thanks to Toscani’s favoring the foreigners.
Pai Correcto.
mrBadak LOL. Can you teach me how draw maps?
Anthony Coolness. Actually, they suggested a few items - RM40 per pax for buffet and RM50 per pax for buffet on board of a cruise ship. But I feel like it’s last minute, and some may not even show up because of the prices. Hence I’m keeping it ala carte.
Lorna Yes, I believe so.
i think for now no need lah we buffet on board, im afraid i could sunk the ship.. hahahahah!
ok, Pirates of Borneo, here i come…
July 6 2007, this Friday, 7.30pm..
</can i have any contact number from the organizer?
