Yesterday night i was at modestos partying as a blogger.

NuffNang Co-founder, Ming

Was invited to attend NuffNang’s quarterly organized party/gathering, and the theme for yesterday was Jungle animals.

Basically i got the invite on wed, and the party was on sat, having been on a weekday it wasn’t convinient to brain storm for what to wear, so forget about even going to the costume rental shops.

It didn’t really hit me that i got nothing planned for the night until friday night when i was on my way back from futsal at 1am.

Shit~ what to wear?

So, went back did some googling on the costume shops, apparently there are open till 5pm on Sat.

I managed to get a chicken suit for the party a few hours before the party started. The shop fella, first recommended a pink buddy to me, and there is no way you will get me into it. NO WAY.

And so i was at the place freaking early, probably close to an hour before registration was even open.

I was seriously thinking of not wearing the chicken suit, dam shy i tell you. How can a grown man put on a freaking chicken suit in front of so many young crowd.

It was only at the 11-hour before the party officially starts that i put it on.

At 7pm, Modestos was pack with different kinds of animals, from bumble bees to elephants to gorrillas.

Being yellow and gold, kind of glowing in the dark, the chicken was quite a hit among the crowd. Flocks of animals who i met along the party wanted to take a picture with the chicken.

Whats so interesting with chickens anyway? it was so happened that the costume guy took out the chicken suit, or else i would be a monkey.

No regrets though.

For me the party was quite nice and definitely alot more can be improve on, especially on the PR and the ice breaking part. NuffNang could have also written each blogger’s blog address next to thier name tag so that other can keep in touch after the party.

So, I had to use a tissue to write all the blog adds 1 by 1. At one point, i was among a flock of female bloggers, and wen qi saw me with the pen and tissue, and gave me an interesting look, as thought i’m in the process of kao lui.

Cow of the day. Best dressed

I had to defend myself, or she will kill me the next time she meets with my gf.

Met alot of people where i normally see in pictures posted up. Sometimes i tell myself pictures don’t really do justice to certain people, on one side they can

be good looking, the other side they can look not so interesting.

Soon enough party came to an end, alot of us had our goodbyes and see-you-agains, then things started to quiet down. I was making friends thoughout the night, from the media groups,

maxis marketers, pretty gals bloggers and restaurant workers, till the very last minute i was till making friends. Talk about networking.

You tell me, was i happy yesterday night?

If you were there, and wish to give me a face to relate to a blog, drop a comment!

Happymah!~

It took me about one year to acctually register for a blogger account to start writing a blog, and that was when i was in my 1st or 2nd year of Uni.

I can still remember that, right after i create the account and look at the blank blog that i just created, i decided that it’s already took much work for me to cont, and so, the next thing i did was close the IE.

That blog R.I.P.

It was more than 5 years since then. Last Friday, it just came to me and i went and “re-register” my blog again at blogger(heck, 5 years back i dun think that google bought blogspot yet). I was trying to get familiar with the simple interface that blogger presented, and i didn’t like it. I didn’t have much of a control on things that i wanna do on it. And so the next option i had was to host my own blog.

On monday i started my research for any CMS lazy man tools for blogs, being lazy i wanted the easiest-to-use CMS with the most features and expandability. Many said Word Press was good enough and has lots of features and lots of plug-ins.

then i started kacao-ing ppl, finally the kind man satkuru created a dummy blog for me to play with and experience the “WP” deal. In the process, he dumbly accidentally went and delete his latest blog post….opps !~ (i tried playing around with WP interface to see if i could have made the same mistake as him, but sorry la, i couldn’t understand how he can go and delete that post while trying to create a sub blog)

But anyhow, thanks to him i got a chance to play around with WP. Thanks and sorry for the trouble dude !~

Then on wed, i went and bug another fella to ask about exabytes hosting, see if that fella wanna kongsi anot. He said ok, but wouldn’t move to exabytes that fast, then he told me that he has 3000GB of hosting space not in used. wtf !~

in the next 30 min, www.onebigbone.com was being hosted on 1 of his hosting accounts.

Thanks man.

The next thing i need to do was not to hit that close button on ie, again.

*i did close eventually without writing anything*

As of today, i have my own blog.

My own blog.
