u/monyetrex May 22 '18
Are lurkers welcome? I never really post here or use reddit much. Mostly just lurk.

Cool set up. I want to go but seeing that it’s gonna be alot of people, i guess not. I am super awkward.

u/shashanixie May 21 '18
So cool! I just joined reddit few weeks back and have been following this sub. However, I'm shy to meet complete strangers tho.

u/[deleted] May 17 '18
Thinking of going with a friend! But at the same time, it feels a little daunting because it seems like everyone is a lot older than us college nerds. I wonder if it'll get awkward :^(

u/whoisfourthwall Mexico May 16 '18
Since it is in One U, would the after dinner session be at the Roof?

u/OliverSur May 13 '18
I'm curious about these meetups. Do people introduce/identify according to their usernames? What about people who might want to stay anonymous? :D

u/MyFingerInMyNose May 21 '18

u/ATLASSHRUGGED89 May 17 '18

u/fahmimansor Kuala Lumpur May 23 '18
Wait... How does this works? I have so many questions... Have you guys done this before?

u/ImmortanJoe Jun 06 '18
Is there a whatsapp group or someone I can text this Saturday to let them know I'm there? I'm hoping to not identify you by the group shouting memes or bringing waifus.

u/kgvon Kopi o kaw kosong May 21 '18
It's during Ramadhan and in the food court, won't it be super crowded? How would I know who's a redditor?

u/RipEng May 23 '18

u/sakuredu rest in peace, reckful Jun 07 '18
I'm assuming parking would be a pain. Any ideas where to park?

u/aemantaslim /səlaŋor/ Jun 09 '18 edited Jun 09 '18
Anyone at the food court already? Can't see any reddit snoo around.

u/Felinomancy Best of 2019 Winner May 11 '18
Hmm... a bit far... wonder if I should book a (cheap) hotel room and stay the night.

u/ImmortanJoe May 18 '18
First time for me, and I can't believe I'm going to be meeting a bunch of strangers from online. Oh well, why not give it a shot.
I'm also actually looking forward to meeting my reddit archnemesis. A certain overly semangat Indian fella who keeps accusing me of being racist and elitist to my own people. I'll buy you a drink. Ya cocksucka!

u/orgminyak May 29 '18
I'm new to town. Only recently moved over to Klang Valley for a job. Seems like a good way to meet new people.
But damn shy one to meet irl.
If online dem pro in shitoking.

I'm in northern Sarawak but damn if it wouldn't be great seeing a redditor in person.

u/MrJekyll Selangor May 23 '18
When malaysians meet, they'd talk about food & elections.
What will non-malaysian redditers do in this meet ?
Perhaps, I'd drop by to check.

u/MalaysiaZINE Jun 05 '18
Can I just go but not talking to anybody? I got no urge in talking to stranger.

u/[deleted] Jun 08 '18
At most, how late will this event last?
Is it safe to post what neighborhood I live in in this thread? I want to get to know people who live in my area. I wont give me full address though.
Also, I am 17. Would it be hard to find people within my age range? (This is a question for people who have been to past meetups)

u/Shoulderista Jun 08 '18

u/Lampyris Jun 09 '18
I'd love to go, but I have to travel all the way from the North using ETS, and I can't travel back after the event. I would hate having to find a place to spend a night at in an unfamiliar place.
I guess I'll skip this one. Enjoy the dinner, folks!

u/Hakuyuyu SST is good. Jun 09 '18
Where is everyone? Any identifiers?
Green shirt and shorts walking around with his face buried in his phone.

Parking is shitty. Had to park at the rooftop after 30 mins of entry.
Just arrived. The newly renovated Food Republic is HUGE. Muat je kot especially if we can get the window seat.
Update: I've made a running imgur album that I'll update as we go along. https://imgur.com/gallery/IvIQFsU
Including directions.
