Kuching Bloggers’ Meet 2007

February 9, 2007November 23, 2008 sweet surrender 16 Comments

This is an open event. All Kuching’s bloggers are invited! It’s not a private meet! As long that you have a blog and you are in Kuching during the said date, do come to join us. 🙂

I’m not sure I’ll be going or not. Usually I don’t join bloggers’ meet at night because it’s not that convenient for me to go out at night unless someone is willing to pick me up and can send me home by 10pm.

Important note to note is: “PAY FOR YOUR OWN FOOD & DRINKS”. I realised that Oregano is not like bing! or tao where you order and pay on the spot. I’m kinda worry that there are some irresponsible people taking advantages of this. Frankie, I think you have to let Oregano know before hand that for this bloggers’ meet, they should take payment once the food and/or drinks are served instead of settling the bill at the end of the meet. Just in case, some might forget to pay and leave, there are many cases like this.

Personally, I prefer private meet than open meet as it’s easier to control and it’s a much better way to know each other. When there are too many people, it’s going to be a bit hard. Anyway, hopefully it goes well. I’ll confirm later as I might have some CNY dinners to attend by then. Most importantly, when I manage to find someone who is willing to pick me up and leave early with me.

Anyone who is interested to join this meet, remember to RSVP Frankie at frankiecy [at] yahoo [dot] com

Behind The Scene – Bloggers’ Meet

January 22, 2007January 24, 2007 sweet surrender 11 Comments

Saw the news about Jeff Ooi and Ahirudin bin Attan are being sued by NST for defamation last week. Click here to read more about it. So, what do you think? I’m not worry as I’m not into topics like that but I feel that it’s not very fair. The ISA didn’t even catch them but it’s NST that wants to sue them. I don’t understand and there is not need to make me understand.
Damn Streamyx! Kept disconnecting! I can’t update my blog! Missed out opportunities in PPP too! *ANGRY* Took me ages to get this post up *show middle finger*Support the petition!

Warning: Bandwidth sucker!!

Last year, Sue wanted to meet us, Kuching bloggers, when she’s back in Kuching and we had a bloggers’ meet at her place and it was really an eye opener to her. Not only that, Unker Ho’s Lala Crofts that met us at bing! also had the chance to feel how a bloggers’ meet is like. I’m sure many of you, non bloggers, have this big question mark of what’s going on when there’s a bloggers’ meet taking place? Usually it’s a private affair just like when you are meeting up with your gang. However, there are special things going on that you will not get in a normal meet. I’m going to let you go behind the scene and remember, you see it first in Sweet Surrender!

Cameras, cameras, cameras…

When the food/drinks come, it’s photo taking time. No one can touch the food/drinks until we are satisfied with our photos.

Eat, eat, eat, drink, drink, drink, talk, talk, talk. Eh! Got ppl take photo! *POSE* Others that don’t know just yakking away and do their own stuffs and showing off skills.

Camwhoring, disturb people’s food/drinks, making fun of others, making fun of ourselves, and if you see bloggers that kept hiding their faces from the cameras, these bloggers would like to remain anonymous.

That’s about it. Oh… We were labelled the noisy bunch by the one of the staff of bing!. -_-” We are loud too! 😛 Also, group photo is a must to us. Worst, if there are 10 cameras, someone that is appointed to be the photographer(usually it’s anyone that is not related to our meet) will need to handle 10 cameras.

The end!

Myhouse Steamboat & BBQ Seafood

December 31, 2006March 21, 2007 sweet surrender 2 Comments

Had my new year’s eve’s dinner with my friends at Myhouse. This steamboat establishment is situated along Peace Road. The open and garden concept make it a very cosy place to hang out for all-you-can-eat buffet steamboat dinner with your friends and family. If you don’t like the usual oily type using hotplates, then this is the place for you.

Left: View of the patrons dining there.
Right: Steamboat. They have 2 bases for you to choose. One is spicy and one is non-spicy. If you have more than 6 people, you can have both; else you can only choose one but you can request for change after you had enough of anyone of them.

Steamboat and the ingredients(vegetables, seafood, meats etc.).

Left: They offer chicken satays now!!! They are big but too bad they were tasteless because there were too many orders for it till they didn’t have time to marinate the satays properly.
Right: Chicken and mutton kebabs.

Left: Chicken wings are the hit among the diners. Once they are out, they are gone! You have to act fast to secure your share.
Right: Some ready-cooked food such as curries, fried noodles, rice, mixed vegetables etc.

All these for RM18 per adult. Drinks are calculated separately. Canned drinks are RM2.50 each. They also have a variety of fruit juices, teas, in-house drinks etc.

Make sure you book before you go if you plan to go there on days like new year’s eve, Christmas’ eve…

Here’s their contacts:
Address: 130, Peace Road, 93450 Kuching, Sarawak
Tel. no.: 082-338520

Bloggersâ€™ Meet @ bing! (2)

December 18, 2006March 21, 2007 sweet surrender 2 Comments

Quick update here… Got my camera back! YAY!!! Finally it’s back!!! I haven’t get any candid shoots from anyone. Only manage to have the group photo. *SIGH* That’s what I hate the most when I don’t have a camera. 🙁 I have to rely on people to send them to me. By the way, might be MIA for a while after this post but will still reply to comments as I need to get some projects done before Christmas and 2007. Nothing much will be happening as things that were planned before got cancelled and also rescheduled.

Back to the bloggers’ meet. I only have this(thanks to Frankie) and the insert is taken from Robin’s blog:

Bloggers’ Meet @ bing! (1)

December 16, 2006March 21, 2007 sweet surrender No Comments

I’m being asked not to blog so fast about the meet but hahahah… I’m going to now. Since I don’t have any photos except our drinks and food photos, I will just show you what we had. I don’t know what they’re called, just enjoy the photosss… I’m waiting for them to send candid shoots and also group photos to me.

Uncle Ho smuggled “lemang”(glutinous rice cooked in bamboo) in. It’s long 😛 and spiced up our imagination that caused us to talk inappropriately 😛

Since no photos of the bloggers, here’s mine and Ducky’s. When you see Ducky you will know who was there. Hehehe… Yours sincerely camwhored in the washroom of bing! Couldn’t resist it with the full length mirror in there 😛
