Nuffnang Gplus

I'm sure many of you bloggers out there who are also a member of Nuffnang (why wouldn't anyone be? you can get exclusive invites to movie premieres and whatnot) would know of the Glitterati+ Open meeting that was held at Taylors Lakeside Campus today. For more details of it, click.
Initially it was to start at 10 a.m. sharp. But being Malaysian, where we are best known for our bad sense of timing, it started off half an hour late. An introductory video was played two times to entertain the bloggers who were there early or in time, like me. Speaking of which, i am dreadfully tired now as i slept quite late yesterday (if you count 12:30a.m. late) and woke up at 07:30a.m. on a Saturday morning for breakfast and an argument i did not see coming.

I reached Taylor's at 9a.m. with a nose runnin' like a water tap. Loitered around the school's compound like a foreigner in a historical place. The new block, though still under construction, has a few cafes open for business already. So commercialized. Only thing missing is a KFC restaurant.

It was a sunny Saturday morning, and before i knew it, i was sweating cats and dogs. Yeah, that can be applied to my state considering how thin the ozone layer has become. All these campaigns for a greener earth and whatnot has changed nothing.

The hall we used were as rumours said it, the best hall cause of the view of the man-made lake.

Opening speech made by Timothy Tiah or Teah something like that. Cannot keep still. Always walk to and fro the corners of the stage. :(

Met Timothy (the co-founder of Nuffnang or the founder, either way) and his girlfriend (a darn awesome blogger i admire lots) Audrey of fourfeetnine. Also blogger Avelynn and the president of the Glitterati+, the man behind tehtarikmemoirs whom i have forgotten his name.

With Tim. Ideal boss.

With Audrey. (Take note that she isn't exactly short. I was at the upper stairs)
Censored my eyes cause they look freaky. Also, they both are together for two years now. :)

All in all, it was good. Learnt lots o' things behind the Nuffnang Community. Asked a question which made me felt like a fool. But it lasted only for a brief period. Cause Tim approached me and asked whether i was offended and shook my hand. Who does that anyway?!

I have a very bad memory and forgive me if i'm wrong but everyone is welcomed to join Glitterati plus but there are a few criteria that one must do in order to become a member. For more details, visit Nuffnang.com. I'm obviously not your reliable informant of anything.


Refreshments were served. The cream puffs were a tad sweet but good too.

The meeting ended 2 hours earlier. And most of the attendees were older than me so the age gap kinda makes it hard for me to socialize and mix around with other bloggers. :( And some went in packs. Double sigh.

Hence, i decided to kill my time in the library. And the library was exceptionally quiet. Unlike my school's. :(


Spotted! What's lacking are the Goblet of Fire and the Deathly Hallows.



This is a fantastic book. 'nuff said.

Lovers inscribed their love on the book.

Then after an hour or so, with songs by Adele and Sia, i almost fell asleep. The atmosphere of the library was so convincing to sleep. My stomach growled so loud it could almost be heard by the whole library, i swear the bookshelves shook.

I kid.

So i headed out to take a little breather. With the wind slapping my face and my laze to walk all the way to the other block for food under the shade, i persuaded myself to walk under the scorching sun as a shortcut but i had to go through a maze-like concrete and grass thing. As a nature lover (-not), i dared not step on the grass so i had to jump to the concrete part of the walk-way and that just adds to my excessive sweating.

It was all worth it though. Walked into Bread Story and i was immediately swarmed by the smell of fresh baked croissants. But i was tempted to try the Eskimo Custard bread.

And boy does it taste so good! I swear i'd go there again to buy more of em! The price was dirt cheap, i'd be a fool not to buy.

I look like a chubby kid here. The wind was unbearable. Here i sat at the gazebo overlooking the lake which was said to inhabit a crocodile.


After what seemed like a day well spent in Taylors, went for lunch with Justin and came home to my dismay for what happened next is another story to unfold.
