Man, I hope some seniors here at MWF can make it happen.
Here's to hoping some MWF bigwigs read this.
I'm from Kota Kinabalu and if I were to do it, i guess shipping the shirts to everyone will incur unnecessary costs.
I'm also 100% sure that doing this in KL will costs cheaper.
Back to the topic...
Pics?
