Bloggers' Meet In KL

Dr Bernard Chan told me earlier this month, he was going to Kuala Lumpur and would meet up with yenjai and eve. He invited me to go up to KL. I pretended to be busy but secretly checked my schedule and made plans for it. kekeke.... Then yenjai emailed and asked me to go for the Bloggers' Meet because Bernard ngam ngam (happens to be) in KL then. I told him I couldn't make it too. kekeke....

I think yenjai was caught off guard when I called him to ask for the directions to his clinic. I had even thought of playing a prank on Dr Yenjai by dropping in at his clinic first, then turn up at the cafe to shock surprise the rest, but I couldn't figure out the messy road names. So had to call for help. ish.

yenjai picked Jaymes and I up at Taman Paramount LRT station and sent us to the cafe. It is a Hong Kong style cafe located in Petaling Jaya where there were many Chinese eateries. I would never have come here if not for yenjai. I only know KLCC and Bukit Bintang... and Genting Highlands. hehehe....

There were 10 of them - eve and hubby, just me, george, bernard, yenjai, nyonyapenang, hijack queen, titoki and whatalulu. The rest were clueless at first as to who I am, but Bernard recognised me from my photo. hehehe......

Hijack Queen was the first to recover from her shock and greet me. Later she came to sit between titoki and I and we had a great time chatting and gossiping. The queen was very gracious to offer me a lift back after the meet. But Bernard jumped at the chance was kind to drive me back to the hotel. hehehe...... I get to sit in his new car wor. It still smelled very new.

With Dr Bernard Chan

For a moment, I couldn't pick out Dr Eve from the rest. And she didn't even bother to introduce herself. ish. When I finally got her attention, I wasn't interested in her anymore. I was drooling at her hubby. What a good-looking, muscular hunk!!! hahaha..... Eve, tidak bisa tidur lo!

nyonyapenang was not what I have expected. I was expecting an old bibik with her hair in a bun and wearing a nyonya kebaya. hehehe.... sorry lah, cannot post her picture, she is scared shy to show her beautiful face.

just me was seated too far away and we didn't have a chance to talk. ish. So was George, the surgeon and about-to-turn-professional-diver. This huge handsome guy was in a rush to go back, but not before I grabbed a picture with him.

Dr George, surgeon n diver.
yenjai was on a high. We didn't order liquor. He just potong jalan (snatched) titoki's drink and she had to wait a long time for another order. hehe..... Jaymes and I just ordered milk tea as we had taken our dinner before coming. Bernard paid the bill but he still owes me a dinner. This one not counted huh. I'll make him pay in July. :) Bernard, I have a way of making people pay orh! hehehe......

Many readers would be surprised at how comfortable I am meeting up with these Malaysian bloggers. I met them for the first time. I just began to read their blogs a few months only, for Hijackqueen's case, less than a month! I didn't read titoki's or whatalulu's blog before this meeting. Amazing, isn't it?! You make friends with beautiful people in blogs! I'm going to meet up with more blogger friends when I travel, as I have made friends from all over the world. Awesome.

So if you think writing and reading blogs is a silly thing to do, I can't change your mind. I enjoy blogging and making more friends.

Hurrah for blogs!!!!

Footnote : Doctors George and Bernard are single and available! :)

    We make more friends than enemies.

    There will be the few who dislike us.
    *shrugs shoulders*
    In real life, there are also people who either like or dislike us, we cannot make everyone happy.

  6. I never read nyonyapenang's before I met her in person. Haha.

    Well, blogs and bloggers' meeting bring us all together and let us have more friends. It's fun to know you people. Perhaps it's the common fact we all share (blogging) that gives us the endless conversation topics. ;)

    It feels great to meet blogger friends. It's intriguing.... the anticipation, the speculation, the imagination.... then the day came and Wham! The mystery person behind that interesting blog is before you.

    Appearance doesn't deter me. I've seen more ugly people. Bloggers are pretty sensitive and peace-loving people. :)

    Footnote: Are you trying to play the matchmaker here for Doctors George and Bernard? Anyway, I am married to a double bass. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  36. May,
    Oh yes. You should have been there. Next time I should bring a webcam and beam the meet ups live. :)

    Maybe Singapore and Malaysia bloggers can get together and organise a bigger Bloggers' Meet.

    ReplyDelete

  38. Uahhhh, ECL! I was really surprised to see you there. And I thought Yenjai was privy to the trick actually. Haha. Kesian.

    It was great having you there. I should have walked you to your room, ahem! Haha.

    Dinner... yes.. come to Penang and we'll have our private party. Haha.

    And the last line... woohoo... wanna be our match-maker ka? And oceanskies too, apparently :-)

    Uahh.. my comment is full of "haha"s. Too many liao.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Bernard,
    Yes, you were surprised! haha.... yenjai too. A pity I couldn't see his facial expression when I contacted him. Should have tried to find my way to his clinic and played the prank on him. ish.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Well...the idea is nice, but I fear committing to it. Ok, maybe it is because I am experiencing system overload like Emily. :P

    ReplyDelete
  45. rinnah,

    Take time to smell the roses sometimes.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Cheers to all the friendships forged through blogging!

    Actually, I didn't think it was you because you said you couldn't make it ( in your blog) and I thought you were yenjai's wife!( wife who looks like Eastcoast, haha)since you came into the cafe together
