My First Time ...


You see those tickets up there? I got them for free :D And it's all thanks to Daniel also known as Gallivanter. Dan has some ticket for the Da Vinci, the Genius exhibition that's going on right now and all I had to do to get the tickets was go down on my knees and beg him for it ... hahaha ... ok, ok, I lied, all I had to do was blog about the exhibition and he so kindly gave me two free tickets for it :D Since anything free attracts me like a moth to flame, I decided to grab those tickets by writing a post about it.

Getting those tickets also marks the first time I ever met a blogger in person. I met Dan and his wife to be Emelda this afternoon to collect my tickets and I must say that they're a really nice and extremely friendly couple :D And I'm glad that I actually had my acne treatment done a day earlier, you can't expect me to meet people with acne on my face now can you? LOL!

It was great to actually see the face, not that I haven't seen your pictures before ... hehehe ... and to actually talk in person instead of just leaving words in the comment box. And Dan, thanks so much for the tickets. You can be rest assured I'll be going for the exhibition soon and dragging my wife along for it whether she likes it or not ... LOL!

To be honest, I never really thought I'd ever meet a blogger in person cos I'm pretty comfortable with my anonymity. It has nothing to do with being stuck up or anything, I'm just shy (hahaha) and the fact that I bitch about anything and everything and I don't want some disgruntled person hiring some hit-man to take me out or something. So being anonymous is the safer option for me. And the fact that Dan promised not to bring a camera helped quite a bit ... LOL!

All in all, I must say that it was an enjoyable meeting and it was really good to finally meet up with you and Emelda in person :D If I'm ever in the Eastin area maybe I'll give you a call and we can probably meet up for a cup of teh tarik or something. Thanks for the tickets :D

Before I sign off, I just couldn't help posting a picture of Pebbles getting into the Christmas spirit, not by choice anyway ... hahaha! And I also found out from Emelda today that Dan has already been in the Christmas spirit for quite a while now ... LOL!

  2. Nick, ANYTIME. When near the EASTIN area, give me a buzz, except during non-lunch hours, as my job's not as flexibly cool as yours! :-P

    I'm already looking forward to our next meeting!

  14. Waterlearner - Well, I think I am anti-social la ... hehehe ... But I think it's probably due to me being shy :D
