MEtz team establishment

MEtz was founded on 1st March 2008 when 3 guys when to a coffee shop around the MPSJ stadium neighbourhood for lunch. Brought together by The Bapak for lunch, we started sharing our past glory back in Penang. Memories flow slow and pleasant at the start but then became faster and deeper like a raging river urging to the river's end. Sharing session when short circuit and hence bitching session took place. That session is kinda fun where we pour out what we when through for the past few years where the sky is the limit. Wacky ideas such as creating tshirts and making videos to illustrate our past came in mind.
That session when joyful till The Bapak cut in and bump us with this question:

"What don't u guys come out with a group to help the Buddhist community in multimedia presentation, since this is very new in our nation."

His ultimate question kills the excitement down to zero within a split second. The group was in silence contemplating on the question for a minute. The first word that came out from my mouth was "Why not?"

Thanks to The Bapak, we started to brainstorm for a name to brand our group. Google became our best friend where we start searching of words from buddhist,dhamma, sasana down to sound,video,graphic. It was a tough day through until finally Multimedia Enthusiast comes about. The first try out was the MEt, we weren't quite fascinated, as if there is something missing till The Bapak change it to be a little more catchy; Multimedia Enthusiastz team(MEtz team). Satisfaction revealed...

The 1st AGM meeting was held on the 2nd of March 2008 where the Tagline
..."Ideas Thru Illustrations"...
was proposed together with the purpose and objective of the team. The Bapak as an audience and witness of this memorial AGM supports the establishment with applause.


Voilla, MEtz team is on the move..!
