Sibu Bloggers Meet 2007

For the first time in history, a bloggers’ meet was organized in Sibu. It was easy as the number interested was small. Many bloggers prefer to remain anonymous.

It was great, clean fun. Altogether there were seven of us, jam, monkey wong, bengbeng,alvinchong, clare, benghui, and thomas

We had hoped for crabs and ordered 2 kg but it seems crabs were not in season due to the holiday season.

pork-leg

We had pork-leg, a Sibu delicacy.

midin-with-belacan

Midin with belacan

taufu

Ang siow tau fu I think this Foocow dish is called.

local-sarawak-noodle-dish

This is a noodle dish cooked the native way with lots of spices and chillies. sweat..phew …spicy ..delicious. There was also a bowl of sea cucumber soup cooked the Foochow way but these ^%%$*)( bloggers were so hungry they finished it off before I could adjust the camera settings :(

After the dinner, we adjourned to the Pinnacle, near Farley Supermarket for a blogging workshop. Expenses courtesy of monkey. We discussed Page Rankings, Advertisements, Host Providers ,and Photograph taking for macro shots, indoors and close-ups. The topic of hostile comments also cropped up and was discussed.

Benghui was well at home with the blogging terms we used. He understood everything. He told monkeywong,” You are so suai ( hensem ) and monkeywong positively turned red. Benghui told me Clare is very beautiful. But he doesn’t like her. I asked him why. ” I am not a big boy yet”, he replied innocently. Clare almost fell off her chair laughing.

ice-cream

The lone rose among all the thorns in front of my ice-cream.

It was a successful event. It was also a family affair. The only regret is that some of us were not there because they are not in Sibu at the moment. It is like Clement said, Once there is a first time, there is a second and third time. There can only be one first time :) . Today was it. It was a great day
