Blogger Gathering / Brownies

I had attended a flogger/blogger gathering on 27 September 2008 at Edelweiss Restaurant, Penang. I was very happy because able to meet so many bloggers on that night. All of them (bloggers: Alvin, Buzzing Bee, Cariso, Criz Lai, Chan Lilian, Lingzie, Andrew, Penang Tua Pui, Nicholas, Steven, Sharon, CK Lam, Yi Phing, Jason, Ken and Allenooi) are very friendly and I just don’t feel like that was the first time I met them. After the gathering, I truly felt that, I still have many many many many more “lessons” to learn such as: How to take a more attractive photo? How to improve my blog’s traffic? How to design a nicer blog? How to …...? How to ……? How to earn $$$$$$$$$$ through blogging? Hahahahahahhaha…so many questions come to my mind and I have so many things to learn, how how how? Well, I don’t care, as I understand the concept of 活到老, 学到老 and I am always veryyyyyy free at home during my weekend, so ….hehehe, time is there for me to learn all the things that I want lo.

Since I like baking so much, and my blog is about my baking life, so I decided to bake something for all the bloggers on that day. Early in the morning, I woke up and get ready all the ingredients and start to bake my brownies. I was not only busy with the brownies, but also busy with taking all the photos, the photos of how I make the brownies. Hehe…

EEeerrr, I think I have over-baked the brownies this round and cause my brownies to be a little bit “crunchy”. Haha, paisei la everybody.Would like to thank all the organizers for making the gathering wonderful.
