blog day – presenting 5 blogs

BlogDay was created with the belief that bloggers should have one day dedicated to getting to know other bloggers from other countries and areas of interest. On that day Bloggers will recommend other blogs to their blog visitors.

With the goal in mind, on this day every blogger will post a recommendation of 5 new blogs. In this way, all Blog web surfers will find themselves leaping around and discovering new, previously unknown blogs.

today is blog day!

ok ok i know i’m suppose to blog in BM today and sure i will do that… BUT not until i make this post first.

i notice in the excitement of the merdeka blogger project, many people had forgotten about blog day which is also today. when i put up the blog day button (see right) i promised to do as the site said – to recommend 5 new blogs, so i am going to do just that. blogging on this topic though, to me, will be kind of hard to do so in BM, so i’ll have to use english. i will sure blog in BM after this post.

ok. so about recommending 5 new blogs. for me, i take it to mean that by ‘new’ it doesn’t necessarily mean the blog is new, just being created but new in a way that i just discovered the blog. ok so here goes.

1. project petaling street blog (PPS blog)
ok to many of you PPS fan, you heard of this before. yes, i too heard of it of course, even before it was started, but the thing is after it had started, i did not visit it at all, until 2 weeks ago, i started visiting it regularly.

there are 5 bloggers who write for this blog. they are yvonne foong, john ling, simon, tangerine and the gadjet blog.

since all 5 have their different styles of writing, you can bet the PPS blog is an interesting blog that is fill with a wide diversity of writings. so do give it a vist and see for yourself.

2. the cicak.
heard about this from jeff ooi’s site. i have to admit i do not visit it daily though. it’s well… kind of like jeff’s site… filled with political and social issues. read jeff’s preview of it here.

3. hokkienlang podcast.
ahh… this one i had mentioned to you before here just recently. of course i go there not to read but to listen. although i’m in penang and everyday bombarded by hokkien words here and there (and i myself speak hokkien), it’s nice to hear a podcast in hokkien, especially if it is clear and loud and hilarious. the latest one… a spooky podcast… was good. try not to listen to it after midnight!

4. it’s all about i, me, myself.
i discovered this blog when i was at the malaysia bloggers forum, discussing on the bloggers meet venue. i only visit it once in a long while. however after i met the blogger, a sweet young lady from kulim, i got interested in her blog, and visit it often. you would have notice her commenting in my blog now and then. she signed off with the name ‘yvy’ which is part of her blog url but she has a handle ‘mysteic’, and even after meeting her, i don’t even know her real name… though she introduce herself as ‘yvy’. oh! i think yvy is her real name… ha, yvy? is that your real name yvy? not ivy? y yvy? heh.

5. ah pek talk three talk four
this is one most hilarious blog… by a DOM! and very raunchy too. if you are one of those who are easily offended and will cry sex and shameful in one breath, then don’t visit this blog. this DOM (dirty old man lah!) i suspect is an old friend of mine, one whom i get to know long before blogging comes in existence! ah pek, like yvy had commented in my blog before so i guess some of you might have visited their blogs before.

ok these are the 5 blogs that i recommend. if you have time, do drop in their blogs, read here and there, and maybe drop a comment or two… and say i send you there.
