My First Blogger Meet

Finally I have a bit of time to sit down and write up the post on the little mini blogger meet with Yvy and the others last night. Sorry hor but its been a hectic week and I'm just catching up with my blogging!

So I was running late for the meet because Carlton was so busy even for a week night! I had to drive around a few blocks before I could find a park on the street. Haven't been here for many years and the place has certainly changed a lot! Everyone was there except me but lucky for me the venue was full and they had to go to another restaurant. Yvy called me to let me know about the new venue when I was still looking for a park!

I finally parked my car miles away and had to walk a few minutes before finding everyone making acquaintances at the new place, a nice little italian restaurant called Cafe Nortuna or something like that. This is the first time I met Yvy and Ted, Lao Chen, Xaverri and Pamela. I understand Xaverri wishes to remain anonymous so pardon me for the blurring of her face. She also told me that her parents were from Sibu also thus she's another foochow in Melbourne! From my recollection Pamela and Xaverri have just graduated, Xaverri is staying in Melbourne whereas Pamela is going back to KL. Lao Chen is a professional photographer with his dSLR camera and I felt so intimidated!

Ted is a quiet but easy to get along with kinda guy. He's a very likeable person and Yvy is exactly how I pictured her to be, a really friendly, bubbly, plenty to say person with a great sense of humour! We hit it off straight away! Hahahaha! I found myself with plenty to talk about with the lot, something I didn't know I could be! Scary! We had a lot to talk about mainly about other bloggers and readers like you! So much so that I only took a few snapshots of us. Sorry for the lack of photos but how many photos can I take of the 6 of us! You can find more photos of the meet at Lao Chen's blog here. Some of us just couldn't help ourselves with taking photos of the menu and our food! Speaking of food Yvy had chicken parmigiana, Ted had a pizza, Pamela had a risotto, Xaverri had tortellini and I've forgotten what Lao Chen had!


Seeing Pamela, Xaverri and Lao Chen makes me realised how 'not' young I am! This was my first blogger meet and I've enjoyed it tremendously. Now I'm not a virgin blogger meet attendee anymore! Hahahahaha! I look forward to more blogger meets here or in Malaysia!
