me mentioned in STI *beaming*

thanks to YW loke of beritamalaysia, who alerted me with the subject “wahhhhhh! famous lor!”, i found out that i was mentioned in the straits times interactive.

extract:
malaysian bloggers like lucia lai chronicled the penangites’ efforts to help
victims pick up the shattered pieces of their lives (jogalong.blogspot.com)

the full article can be found here, but you need to register to read (it’s free anyway). however, if you don’t feel like registering, you can always go to my mentaljog extrato read.

i am indeed very very surprised to find out that i was mentioned, even shocked. if jeff ooi was mentioned, i wouldn’t bat an eyelid, but me? unbelievable.

if you guys read the star paper, you would have notice that the intech section, pg. 3, highlights jeff’s sceenshot and a few other bloggers, including peter tan.

oh, and from my blog’s list referrer (see bottom left column), i notice i was featured in ‘the american street’ blog, of which i was mentioned as ‘a chinese lady in malay’. huh? whazzat suppose to mean? maybe they meant ‘a chinese lady in malaysia’.

btw, for information (found this out from jeff ooi’s), a group of penangtites had started a blog call ‘tsunami disaster in penang island’. main purpose of the blog is to help disseminate information and channel donations for the tsunami victims of penang.
