Following on from my fun with blogging yesterday, I’m happy to report that I did finally meet fellow blogger Pablopabla (who has professed secret ambitions of being a chef! And I have no doubt that he will be a good one too!) over a very Malaysian breakfast of roti canai and nescafe/milo.

The thing about meeting someone you have only ever joked with and communicated with online is that you build up this image in your head of how they are, how they look, how they should behave… and then you meet them in the flesh…

… and in this case, found that it was all true!

Pablo is truly pleasant, friendly and helpful and we spent a happy hour or so talking about blogging (a fount of information he is!!) and other more humdrum stuff. I’m eternally grateful for the fact that he did not once call me “Paris”!

Then, I got into work and found a very helpful email from LB whom I had contacted about some wordpress stuff. It was a case of “Elementary my dear Watson” and some time shifting, but something I’d never even thought about!

So blogging is fun and you do learn something new everyday!

On an unrelated note, it is 3.30pm and I’m suddenly craving for Sarawak Kolo Mee.

DAMN! DAMN! DAMN!

I attended Tine’s wedding on Saturday evening which was a first for me. I’d never attended a wedding of a “friend” I’ve never even met before except via the internet! So, it was quite strange to answer the question of “So, how do you know Tine?” and I had to stammer and go “Erm… over the internet…” which made me feel like it was an online date - LOL! Oh and being introduced as “Tine’s blogger friend.” hehe… I don’t know who sounds like the bigger geek!

The awkwardness aside, the wedding dinner was absolutely lovely and Tine was the positively glowing radiant bride. I had the advantage of knowing that (a) she was the bride and therefore easy to spot and (b) having seen her photos. She had no such advantage so it was Beetrice (whom I’ve met a couple of times before) who had to make the introductions.

And yes, Tine did call me Paris… haha Maybe the next time we meet we might be able to stop and chat a while.

Congratulations, Tine & Tim! The deed is done! Here’s wishing you both a long and happy married life.
