Gripevine Nanged!

On National Day which also happens to be Blog Day, Nuffnang threw a challenge to its community of bloggers - do some blogwalking and recommend six new interesting blogs. Kinda like unearthing previously undiscovered gems no?

Being bit of a blog junkie myself, the challenge was too tempting to resist. Well I didn't win, the worthy winner is: http://pink-latte.blogspot.com/ who is Nuffnang's featured blogger for the month of October. Congrats Li Kee! Here's the link to her winning entry: http://pink-latte.blogspot.com/2011/08/blogs-around-world.html.

Win I did not, but I was pleasantly surprised that the folks at Nuffnang thought my recommendations good enough for a honourable mention. Thanks guys! *flattered* Now this is added inspiration for me to take part in future Nuffnang activities. Looking forward :)






I hope the blogs I recommended gain more views and more readers. For they are certainly worth the read! That aside, there doesn't need to be a contest for us to highlight new blogs. I'm constantly hunting down cool  blogs (interesting and unique content grabs my attention). So from time to time I will be posting my recommendations here.

Cheerio folks!

Hey, If I'm not mistaken I've read one of your post on the six-other-blog thingy. I think yours is quite good. Btw, never knew you're the one who commenting on one of my post. What a coincidence.

Cheers

"Seksualiti" Will Survive

The other day my mum who was reading news alerts on her mobile asked me, "Hei have you heard about this festival - ' Seksualiti Merdeka '......?" And I was like: "Seksualiti what....??" Then I promptly googled it and oh then I knew! My first reaction? I was mighty impressed that we actually have such a festival here and wondered how come I never knew about it before this. I'm sure a lot of you out there are hearing about Seksualiti Merdeka for the first time too. But imagine this guys, if the powers that be didn't go all frothy at the mouth and decide to ban it, would the majority of us even know about this annual sexuality rights festival that has been around since 2008? Now not only city folks know all about Seksualiti Merdeka, even those in Baling......where is that again? Are up in arms about this event which they fear will encourage more gayness in society......well people will always delude themselves silly if they want to. So what

Travel Tales: The grandeur of Russia

Visit iconic monuments and see treasures from the past in one of Europe’s oldest cities Night view of the famed St Basil's Cathedral. FOR all its great political and social upheavals which have given rise to many a good movie script, the largest country on earth has never quite popped up on glossy tourist brochures boasting a “bucket list” of must-see architectural wonders like the Eiffel Tower or the iconic Taj Mahal. Neither does it beckon with the promise of breathtaking natural scenery and beautiful landscapes. Before the invitation for this media familiarisation trip came along, my impression of Russia and Moscow in particular was of a city still dominated by grey Soviet-era apartment blocks and sombre locals. However, when I received the itinerary for the trip to Moscow and St Petersburg organised by Trafalgar, another version of Russia began to emerge, that of a country steeped in culture and art, with many well-preserved heritage buildings. B

Heritage trail: The beauty of St Petersburg

The Winter Palace. THE  city of St. Petersburg was founded by Peter the Great, who aspired to create a city that would rival the great cultural capitals of Europe. Built on the banks of the Neva river, St. Petersburg stretches across 42 islands with natural waterways and canals, giving it the title of the ‘Venice of the North’. It was the imperial capital of Russia for two centuries until the Communist revolution of 1917. To this day, it retains its status as the country’s cultural capital with its heritage buildings, grand palaces, cathedrals and museums. Exploring St. Petersburg Considering that I only had three days to explore the city after arriving by bullet train from Moscow, I was glad to find that the Park Inn Nevsky, my home for the next few nights, was located on Nevsky Prospekt, St. Petersburg’s main street. What you will find along this street are plenty of places to shop and eat, like the Eliseyev Emporium Coffee shop, the Gostiny Dvor shopping centre, loc
