Lorelle’s newest challenge is for us to find out where our favourite bloggers live and work. As much as it sounds like stalking them, Lorelle defends by saying that “The answer might be more interesting than you think.”
When you figure out where your favorite bloggers are geographically located, blog about what you learned about discovering this information, and then if it changes your perception of them. Sometimes it helps to know where someone is coming from, and sometimes it doesn’t matter. Which is it for these bloggers and for your blog reading experience?
I’m sure I’ll discover more about you by knowing where you live and work, just like how I’ve discovered that 5xmom and I (and Dr. Bernard) have the same Chinese surname.. And all three of us can’t read Chinese (OK, this isn’t something to brag about, but you get what I mean..)! You know, perhaps we DO have something in common after all, hah. Or perhaps I’ll be able to “connect” more with you by knowing where you live and work.
So yeah, where do you live? And where do you go to work? Who knows, we could be related in some ways.. :D
I shall get the ball rolling by telling you about where I live and “work” — I stay in Kuala Terengganu, and I go to Universiti Malaysia Terengganu (UMT, formerly known as KUSTEM), which is about 5km from my rented place. And if you were to go to Redang Island, you will pass my rented place and the university on your way to the Merang jetty (where you board the boat to the island) as well as on your way out, so it’s perfectly convenient to meet up, if you’re interested, that is :)
Note:
- This challenge is done a little differently from Lorelle’s original challenge because, well, I think it will encourage a little more “conversation” on my blog if it was done this way :D
- You DON’T have to tell me your street name or company name and address. Something general will do. Yeah, it’s *that* simple :D
My name is my URL and I live in Penang. Hehehe, sounds so dorky. I blog and earn lotsa money (hehehe) but it is not considered work.
Sometimes I wonder whether I’m a Malaysian. Or whether the problem lies in other people because I don’t seem to know where “Golden Triangle” or “Jiu Lai” is.
Penang, yes, I know. Jiu Lai. Beats me.
Ed Kohler: You’re a workaholic too? :D
Interesting. I live in PJ (about 500m away from Hospital Universiti). I used to work in Kelana Jaya (during my industrial attachment, which is approximately 7km from my place. Well, the exact working places were actually GSC Mid Valley, GSC One Utama, Cathay Cineplex and TGV KLCC).
Now, I am back to Uni and it is just a stone’s throw away from where I am currently staying.
I live in a small college town called Ann Arbor, in the state of Michigan. I work for a utility company (that’s electricity/gas/water/etc.) in downtown Ann Arbor. I have moved almost every 6 months in the 7 years I’ve been here. This year will be my first not moving. Yay!
Jiu Lai = house (in hokkien) i think…
more correctly, it’s ‘home’. hahaha. if i’m not mistaken lah.
