The moment I landed in Amsterdam Monday last week, the first text message I got was from my mom, informing me that my blog’s been featured in a local newspaper. I knew the article was coming out anytime but I didn’t know when exactly. How ironic for it to be published on the very first day of my Netherlands/Belgium trip.
And just as I had no idea when the article was to be published, neither did I know what was going to be mentioned there. Thankfully, they got most of the facts correct except for two minor details:-
1) The article stated that I’ve been living in Malaysia for some six years now. Actually, 2009 is my 16th year here.
2) The article wrote about my future plans “to give away some prizes in celebration of my first blogoversary…maybe next year.” Err…my first blogoversary has come and gone (2nd of February, 2009). But I do hope I can have the time to prepare something when my second blogoversary comes around.
No big deal, no harm done. As a matter of fact, my 15 minutes of fame has come and gone. I guess that’s why they call it “15 minutes of fame” ;)
P.S. Watch out for the small giveaway in my next post!
That’s wonderful. Congrats on being featured! =)
You are the pride of your mother!!!!
Wow, congrats! :)
congratulations! that paper should be framed. :)
galing! that’s quite an honor ha, to be featured in a newspaper! congrats! :)
Congratulations, 15 mins or less than that, it’s your fame and it is my pleasure to congratulate you for that. Sleepless in KL has been an inspiration to me and to some people who read it as well, it provides intelligent mindset and somehow provides hope for mothers…
Thanks for sharing your world through your blog Mimi…
that’s so great! congrats!
Congrats on the mention! I am sure you and/or your blog will get featured more in the future. =)
I remember leafing through the newspaper on that Monday morning and couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw a very familiar photo of you and one of the twins! Congratulation!
I’m so happy and proud of you! Is there a way for me to read the article? Can you send an online link?
Thanks, everyone, for the heartwarming wishes. But what I’d really like to know from you all is — what do you think can I do to make this blog better? (Please be gentle with the criticism. I’m as fragile as an egg hehe.) And what would you like to see more of in the future?
salam,
walaupun baru dengan blog ni,tapi yang sempat baca dan lihat…
ia ‘simple’ dan mudah difahami untuk semua…kira ayat tak ‘bombastic’ sangat…pastu best sebab ada sentuh bab makanan dan resipi(hehehe),pastu ada macam-macam gambar di sana-sini (sah memang banyak berjalanlah tu :p)…
akhir sekali yang semestinya ia banyak nasihat dan kata-kata semangat buat yang berkeluarga dan juga yang tidak…apepun teruskan usaha yang best ni!…selamat menulis…afwan…
that’s great! congratulations.
Hey, congrats! First time here and I am definitely come back for more cos I am a photographer enthusiastic and would love to learn so much from you!
wow! congrats! i’m new here but i’m liking everything.
being featured in a newspaper is really something. naala ko when i was in grade school, naghahanap ako ng lumang dyaryo na pansapin when lo and behold, picture ng kuya ko sa manila bulletin! nagtatalon ako at tinawag ko ang tatay at nanay ko sigaw ako ng sigaw, si kuya r, si kuya r! hahaha. akala nila dumating ang kuya ko. since then, basta may nahawakan ako dyaryo, nagbabakasakali ako na makakita ako ulit ng feature about him.:D
i agree, frame the newspaper article!
congratulations again ate mimi! ♥
