I’m not going to post much on the event, knowing that my other blogging buddies will do a better job of transcribing the craziness that was going on. I do have a few notes to share:
- I was glad I had someone to talk to; I was worried I would end up looking silly and looking like a dodo just sitting by myself and playing with my son (thanks Josie and Rachel).
- My son apparently had more fun than me last night.
- Surprisingly I found out that I know more bloggers there than I was hoping, which was cool.
- I almost shrieked when the boat started to move. I had deja-vu of my 6 hours in a stranded Labuan ferry during a fierce rainstorm flashing in front of me.
- Jefferi C. (whom I called our unofficial “official photographer”), was the first person to blog and put photos of our gathering. I stole one of his photos below. Check out the rest of the photos in his blog.
A shout out to these people from making the KK Bloggers Meet a success: Daniel@Gallivanter and Jacq@Caneeliea (P1, P2, P3) for organizing the gig; Pirates of Borneo for their very accommodating service and for distributing Novomins to some of us sea-sick, sad folks; Nuffnang for sponsoring the goodies for our lucky draw; and last but not least, the bloggers and aspiring bloggers who made the meet merrier: Josie@kupi, Rachel C., Jeffrey@mrBadak, BenGodomon, PapaJoneh, Jefferi C. (P1, P2, P3), Jewelle, Julian, Murphy@mySabah, Melissa@Friday Cat, Wei Chuen, Debbie@Lady Stiletto, Faizal Heesyam@Pai, Ned, Anthony & Siew Ling, nyst.wysrt, Jimmy, Lionel, LaViaP, Zie, Olieee and … (I plan to put in the whole list of people I can remember, but my two little commanders demand my attention NOW, so I’ll get back to this list pretty soon.)

Thanks for sharing those photos, Jefferi. BTW, Melissa (the one in your portfolio) is actually my former schoolmate in college (Shah Alam); send my regards to her would you?
hehe! I’ve got the same goodies too. A Bon Jovi CD! Thanks to Nuffnang! btw, Its nice to meet you !! 🙂
Nice to have met you too, and I still don’t know how to pronounce your name!
4 “aspiring bloggers” missed the boat, but it was totally their own fault…
Twas nice to meet you as well, Lorna 😀
cool, will there be any other similar meet? if it’s in day time, it’ll be better for me(because i wish to skip classes):)
Aikkk…. my face there. You got it from me. Kkekee.. Nice to know u also Lorna 😀

here’s my update, http://www.pairacy.com/2007/07/kk_bloggers_gathering_2007_so_whatsup/
how come i forgot to take picture with you that night, arghh!!!
Yeah! enjoy bah! u so lucky menang bon jovi~!!! XD
I’m lucky to have won anything at all! It was great meeting you!
Hi Lorna, nice to meet you although we didn’t get to chat much. I especially liked your “I didn’t blog during office hours”…that was funny, jangan ada yang terkena satu biji 😉 Luckily I didn’t bring my daughters, kalau tidak with MrBadak’s Jordan and your Jayden (right?), tunggang terbalik tu boat kita tu…
See you next time!
that part..betul2 I kena lah. I really blog from office… I think same with Pai. Night time for family. The only time left for them actually. 🙁
It was something Murphy@MySabah said that prompted me to say it. I don’t remember what he said, tho, heh.
Uh, yeah, and I hope everyone believed me when I said I don’t blog from the office.
😛
i totally forgot to say my line, “i blog in office”..
thats the last thing i want to say, but disebabkan nervous pasal lama sudah ndak buat public speaking, trus lupa.. hahah! next gathering jak lah..
Hahah, I was hoping someone would say something along those lines too 😀
hey Lorna aka webgrrrl,
hehe i’m so jealous to those who won the BON JOVI CD’s!!!!!
better luck next time then….
had fun that nite… Eric & Jordan menari nari to the music are so cute!!! 😉
The kids sure had fun that night. I’m having a slightly difficult time finding your blog, Olieee — could you drop your URL here so I can bookmark it?
hi Lorna,
when its up when i have time to blog like you guys i’d surely let u guys know the URL baybeh… for now i only blog in a common website.. LoL…
Lorna, you should’ve sung that night…
Regarding Bon Jovi, unfortunately I have to say this: I was glad I got the thumbdrive instead of the CD… Jon Bon Jovi aka Jon Bongiovi has lost the creative juice for more than 10 years already. I used to like them even pre-Slippery When Wet era (7800 fahrenheit, etc esp the excellent Silent Night track). I even had Jon’s solo album in 1990 (Miracle, Santa Fe etc) – they were good until 1993 (Bed of Roses etc) – after that it’s all downhill… This seems to be a trend for everyone, even my all-time favourite band, Def Leppard. The lesson seems to be: break up before you expire, like Led Zep and The Beatles did. ABBA started to sound stale in their last LP, but “fortunately” they broke up. Oooops… I better blog about this hahaha
Ssshh, don’t tell Gallivanter that!! Don’t want to sound ungrateful but I like the thumbdrive myself — I’m lucky to get anything at all!
Me sing? What nasty things have you heard about me? It’s good I didn’t, otherwise we’ll be having free swims in the ocean. Besides, you must be referring to my elder sister Lydia, now she can sing.
