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

Stylish After 50

There is no age limit to being stylish and fashionable. One's fashion sense does not melt away into the sunset after 50. Plus there's absolutely no rule that says a woman in her 60s or 70s who has grandchildren must stop wearing make-up, painting her nails and wearing lovely clothes. Way too often have I heard the common refrain: " So old already why must dress up, who is going to look at us?" or "Already a grandmother, why want to do all this some more...." Said in typical Malaysian lingo of course! First of all, I don't get the concept of dressing up for other people. When you look good, you feel good, it is as simple as that. It is not about the number of people who might stop by to lavish you with compliments. It is about making a statement about who you are - someone who believes in looking good by wearing clothes that compliment her. Forget the white streaks in your hair, those faint lines on your face. Clothes, shoes and accessories don

Curly Haired Indian

 Last Friday I walked into a shop at Amcorp Mall that sells hair products and accessories. As I entered, I heard a customer whining to the sales staff at the counter about her hair. Said customer was a middle-aged Indian woman with long freezy hair down her back. When she noticed me, she gave me a look and told the staff at the counter: " You see lar, we Indians all have this kind of hair only." I was quite amused that she was putting me in the same category as her, considering that I don't have a huge lump of friz bobbing down my back. If only someone had given this woman some sage advice about managing her thick mane, maybe she wouldn't be whining and hankering after silky-smooth stresses - which she naturally cannot have unless she resorts to rebonding and rebonding till death, by which time she might no longer have any hair left. If only someone had told her that maybe she should not have her hair that long! And that perhaps she should trim it a little
