Bloggers Audio Interview
A couple of weeks ago some of the Social Media class bloggers (Calin, Amelia, Jacqueline and myself) dragged ourselves to school on a Sunday for an interview for SMU Campus Radio, for a show called The Talk Show hosted by Daryl. We had a rather fun time during recording, and here’s an audio clip of the interview if you are interested (though I must warn you of my bad radio voice and incessant “umms” and “mmms”).
Social Media Breakfast Singapore
Then last Saturday I had the pleasure of attending (and making food for) Social Media Breakfast Singapore, where about 40 of us bloggers and social media users dragged ourselves out of bed on a nice Saturday morning to talk about ourselves (or as Derrick says, “to pimp ourselves”) and how we use social media in our lives.
It was nice meeting people ( Derrick, Andrew, Michael, Brian, Sheylara, Coleman) and then there was the personal tagging, which basically involved tagging people with stickers with adjectives on them (mine read “I am Lao Ban”, “great poem writer”, “thief” and “helpful”), and to the contrary of the organisers’ expectations, was a great hit with everybody!
Though it was tiring making all the food and running around, it was indeed exciting to be part of SMB, given that it was the first (until someone proves otherwise, Daryl says), and I’m pretty sure not the last. My only regret was not managing to talk to everyone, but there’s always SMB #2! You can read more about the breakfast at Daryl’s blog and even Mitch Joel has picked up on it. (Good job guys!)
Photo+Haiku exhibition
As for this week, me and Jac are having a collaborative haiku+photo exhibition in Frujch based on the theme of Time, apt since it’s our last term in SMU. Do come by tomorrow to check out Part 1 (Moving), and Part II (Still) if you’re in the area.
I just love how blogging has provided me with these opportunities to meet new friends and make new memories. I really have to thank Professor Michael Netzley for introducing me to this world of social media, it has indeed been a fascinating journey that is just beginning.
Social Media class has really created a big impact in my life and I’ve made new friends from class like Andre, Jasmine, Valene and Xiao Hui (in addition to Calin, Amelia, Jacqueline and Daryl) and I was really sad when we had our last class last Saturday (see above picture, that’s me holding back my tears :p)
Well, then again there’s always Twitter (add me!)
Was wondering when you were gonna blog about it. =P. Haha. It was great meeting you (and the rest, of course) as well. =). And yeah, I’m pretty sure it was the first. Really glad that it worked out so well.
See you at the next one, yeah?
Thanks for the mention! It IS kinda sad that social media class is over isn’t it =(
Btw I checked out the exhibition today at Frujch! Happening stuff!

*sniffles, I miss you already.
thanks for linking!
it’s wednesday today and i feel like i’m missing something.. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
I feel that I didn’t have enough of Social Media and Michael Netzley! I want more!
And I totally agree with you that blogging has really made us know more people. I believe blogging will continue to link us together because we are already virtually linked! I have you on my blogroll, I will always have updates on you, and others like Amelia, Daryl, Jac etc. Isn’t that wonderful?
Nab nab, I’m getting emotional now just thinking about frujch, whyyyyyyyyyyy…
I had great fun with you in social media class babe, best class I’ve had this term! *hugs.
