First of all, many thanks to Sabrina & Gavin for inviting me to the “Exclusive Yahoo! & LG Electronics Blogger’s Event” at Expo which happened on Wednesday. It is a first invite to an ‘exclusive blogger’ thingy for me and I really didn’t know what to expect.
I reach there right on time to only find myself waiting for almost half an hour without a familiar face in sight at 7-11. It turned out that Sabrina, Sheylara & Priss were waiting at the OTHER 7-11. We were soon joined by Yanjun and we were ushered down to the entrance of the exhibition to get our lanyards.
VIP HOKAYS! DUNCH PWAY PWAY!
It looks all nice but Sheylara quickly pointed out to me that…..
WAH LAU! SPELL WRONGLY DEY!
*Facepalm*
.
We were led to the LG booth and up to a platform when I saw familiar faces like Leonard and Nadnut and DK later. Nadnut was kind enough to introduce me to the rest of the other bloggers but I don’t really recognize most of them and they probably didn’t recognize me as well, so it’s okay.
WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAAA!!!
Oh, before I continue, this post is gonna be picture free as I only had my Nokia N95 with me and despite my love for the phone, it’s not going to have good pictures in such light conditions and so I didn’t take any pictures at all.
We were brought around the LG booth by this pretty LG PR manager. I think it could be her first time dealing with local bloggers and when she picked up the new LG phone to talk about it, a SWARM of bloggers whipped out their cameras and surrounded her while flashing the sight out of her. She quickly recovered her composure and talked about the phone. Problem was, her soft voice was drowned out and my interest in the product drowned away as well.
All I can say is that it was a visually appealing phone. I will only talk about it in depth if I can get my hands on one.

(Awkward silence)

Okay. Next, we were led to an area where a humorous MC took the stage and said that a group of Korean dancers were going to perform for the crowd. At one point, he said,
“Hello everyone! Today we have Singapore’s Top Bloggers joining us today!”
I was completely shocked at this point. The MC then looked over our side and raised his voice a little.
“Singapore’s TOP BLOGGERS! Raise your hands!”
I think I subconsciously shuffled my feet AWAY from the group of bloggers as the rest of the crowd looked over at our group. The MC realized the lack of enthusiasm from the bloggers and the crowd and still managed to get the crowd to clap.
Not to put any of the bloggers there down, especially those who have much higher traffic than mine but…. “TOP BLOGGERS?”
WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
If the word ‘relatively’ is put in front. Then I think it’s true mostly. Maybe do a ‘mumble’ to make it nicer lar.
“Hello everyone! Today we have Singapore’s relatively Top Bloggers joining us today!”
The dance item was quite nice actually, so credits to LG for putting the show up.

The next booth that we went to was more exciting for me. The Yahoo! booth. Adam Taggart who is Yahoo’s Senior Director for Product Marketing greeted us warmly and he totally captivated my attention with the way he presented himself and I can feel his excitement for the Yahoo Mobile Apps that he showed us. It’s quite a couple of products to talk about and you can visit Yahoo! Mobile’s site here to find out more. I’ve already downloaded one of the applications to my phone to test it out.
Will blog about it soon once I get familiar with the product!
OH! And Sabrina said that MrBrown and Dawn Yang came down as well. ARGH! WANTED TO MEET DAWN YANG MRBROWN SO MUCH! I AM TOTALLY INTO HER HIM. I HAD TO LEAVE EARLY! WHAT A BLOODY WASTE!!!
Meanwhile, you guys can surf to the following blogs for the coverage of the event and products and hopefully find pictures you like.
