Forever Young : Kuching Bloggers Meet 21st January 2006

posted by FH2o

I wasn’t going to blog this or even post any photos but some of you might be a little curious how the Kuching Bloggers’s meet went. It went well (thanks to the organisers) and was an interesting experience to be amongst these YOUNG people who are all so friendly, polite and all so young, young and young! You get the idea. Yes, Edison (aka kuching's Jim Carrey wannabe) call me 'unker' one more time and I'll use Felicity's camera (reminds me of the 1st generation 'brick' hp!) on you!

Most of us were meeting each other for the first time, so apprehension and nervousness was the order of the night but eventually some of them garnered the courage to ask this senior (nicely put by the gracious ‘King Kenny’) why he is so “kay si” (loosely translated as “so in / with it”) to also blog? Being ‘cool’ is not solely the domain of the young ok. Why do I call him ‘king’? Take the number of hits in a month the rest of the bloggers put together and multiply that by 10 and we don’t even come close to the number of hits Kenny gets in a single day! Sick huh?

Except for Charmaine (pray harder! ;) ); this is the first gathering I had been to that everyone has a digital camera, so I diffidently took some quiet snapshots as well. It was really nice of the cool, calm and collected KC to offer to help me with my webpage (*sigh* of relief).

Oh, guess what happened by evening’s end as I was leaving 'Tao' where we adjoined to after 'Hornbill's Corner? All the Kuching bloggers want to try kayaking! Now I’ve got more than what I had bargained for! Bloggers Meet on the waters everyone?StumbleUpon Toolbar Stumble It!
