Tweet tweet!

So last night was my first ever tweet-up in Malaysia!

Getting to the venue (Makcik chicken wing in front of Lee Hin Motor, Sunway Mentari) wasn't too bad, but genius that I am I'd gotten myself there but hadn't taken note of the exact place to go, thankfully @kruel74 had had the foresight to give me his h/p # earlier: a quick sms and he came to get me from where I was waiting: I was just like half a block away only... but omg ramainya orang??!! I think at our peak we were 5 tables' worth of people (about 20 pax?)... and y'all know me and my aversion to stranger overload...

So I ended up sitting at one end of the tables, and of the many people there, talked a bit with @dilaariff @brenkenlee @flyguy729 @azri83 @euveng --- later @loveykatz joined us at that end ... also there but not really talked with (totally me!) were @altimet @rararawr @icednyior @kazwan @rainingheaven.

The weather was really muggy though, sometimes I felt I could barely breathe in the thick air... so much so that I made three bad decisions that I'm still paying for today... ugh ... read more about that here... The chicken wings were good, a bit oily but also sweet... I was too warm to eat much tho. If I end up there again I'll try the koey teow, it looked amazingly good :)

It was great to put faces to @loveykatz and @kruel74, and to have the opportunity to meet folks who would otherwise be strangers, but are united via the geekness of Twitter and foursquare :) Here's to more tweet-ups before I leave!

Photos? I didn't take any.. there were plenty taken tho, so hopefully I'll get to steal one or tw to feature here soon, so check back in a day or two, k?

more Twitter news; I found The Shat!

... so, I found William Shatner on Twitter. I am now one of his 39,690 followers.

He's only following 5, though. And they are
  • J J Abrams (the mind behind Fringe and Lost, who is also in charge of the new Star Trek movie)
  • TrekMovie.com (the new Star Trek Movie)
  • Fran Drescher (wtf? Bwaaahahahaahahaha!)
  • Paul Camuso (a producer I've not heard of), and finally..
  • Priceline Negotiator


Excuse me while I roar with laughter, especially at that last one.

How about you? Anything funny to note about celebs you're following? Do share! :)

I'm all a-twitter!

I have no idea why this happened... but I signed up for Twitter.

Kinda funny, I immediately had followers: Fake Hugh Jackman and someone else I can't remember (she's no longer following me - LoL! Fickle?!). Overnight I've also attracted Headlines India. Huh??

One of the first people I followed was Wil Wheaton. Yes, I suppose I am a geek. That and his was the only name I had any remote interest in of the list of suggested people to follow that Twitter presented as soon as I signed up.

At this point I'd like to give a shout-out to the six real people/bloggers who are currently following me:
- adam (Thanks for the welcome, btw!)
- atlfreestyle
- ravyn (Thanks for the nitey-nite wishes, btw!)
- june
- kapgar
- ling

I doubt I'm going to be using this tool to its fullest potential, but hey, if you want to join in anyways, do add me (lynneNaranek).

Ciao!

 ... hi again. This return to blogging is really not working out, is it? Actually, I am writing, three pages of mind vomit and affirmations ...
