DGMB Anniversary 2009

By On · 2 Comments · In Uncategorized

This just goes to show how much I’ve been out of thing for a long time. Last year, was the first time the group met up and it was to watch the film “Definitely, Maybe”. The cute little romantic comedy starring Ryan Reynolds and pretty as a button Isla Fisher. You can see the yester years here. That was I think my first Blogger Date with other bloggers :P . heheh.

The entire, blogger group I'll try to name everyone (from L-R, Top row) Aaron, Yatz, Thomas, <a href='http://hweiming.blogspot.com' rel='external ' title=''>Hwei Ming</a>, Stanley, David (shortness), Sheon, Dillon, Nigel, Randy, (Next Row) Pam, Michelle, <a href='http://xiuching.blogspot.com/' rel='external ' title=''>Amy</a>, Kelli, <a href='http://narymama.com' rel='external ' title=''>Nadia</a>, Linora, Joshua (Rose among the thorns on this row :P). Phew that was long..

I haven’t really had some time with them accept for a few occasions.

2.20pm was the time of the movie, and so everyone was to meet at 12ish at McD. Plan was to meet first for lunch and then catch the movie “He’s Just Not That Into You”. Honestly I don’t know why all the blogger movie gatherings i end up going for has to do with a romantic comedy. lol.

I couldn’t make it in time, as I already had other plans for lunch. Yeah I know boo… Made it all the same :) Getting there was a real rush from Jaya One.

I’m not in this pic because I came late. I was in the midst of running here I think. However i will say that I am with them all in spirit. :) Thanks to NigelAis for this pic.

What made the blogger movie gathering all the more special, had to be at the end of the movie. As the movie was running it’s end credits, suddenly the screen started to show a slideshow of two people. One guy and one girl. Something like that, one can only assume the ‘best’ – the guy was trying to do something entirely sweet for his girlfriend. 

It was more than just sweet actually. While the lights were still out, suddenly you hear a guitar and some guy singing some lovey dovey song. Candles started to appear at the four corners of the cinema. All this is still happening with slideshow showing us images of the couple.

The guy came up to the girl handed her a bouquet of roses and then asked her marry him. Yeah man a proposal in the cinema!

That had to be a pleasant surprise. I don’t think the guy proposing would’ve thought that there would be about 36 bloggers in the same cinema with him. And I think if not for that marriage proposal, we wouldn’t have been able to take shots in the cinema. You should’ve seen it. The minute the whole audience knew it was a proposal, the bloggers all whipped out their cameras – handheld, handphones and DSLRs alike. We all just started snapping.

Can you see the big and small cameras? Spot how many there are here hehe. The best part had to come from Yap Thomas which seriously just cracked me up. He just said “I didn’t plan this!!”

yap

Brief note, he was one of the bloggers who was mainly in charge of the DGMB anniversary outing.. lol you have to be there to get the laugh out of that statement hehe. I didn’t really manage to take snaps but whatever i could it’s here. I only managed to take one shot of me and Pamsong.

Blog Dates – Part #1

By On · 172 Comments · In Blog It
This post is way outdated, but it was planned to be that way. A whole bunch of us bloggers had met up yesterday to watch the movie “Definitely, Maybe” starring Ryan Reynolds, Isla Fisher, Rachel Weisz, Kevin Kline and Abigail Breslin. It’s a romance comedy with Ryan acting as the dad of Maya played by Abigail who is intent on learning how her parents came to be when she learned about sex education at school one day. Her dad takes her on a long ride to tell her, that love is not so easy, but terribly complicated as we see. A very touching and moving story, especially on the part of the Abigail (who made me cry!) Love is really complicated and while I wished on one hand that it was as simple as Abigail or any fairytale would be told.. it’s not.. Anyway that’s another story :) You can read on how the movie thing came about here. We all met at Cinemaleisure at around 12 plus. Some came early some came late and so since my point of contact was dahling Pammie. and she wasn’t there yet, so I took a walk around the Curve’s Bazaar. I saw the cutest little T-shirts, you know the one with statements on them and this is going to be a new hobby. Hope to find more of these around. After Pam and I had a good time soaking in the sun and burning our pockets with Tees, we headed on yo Cineleisure to meet up with the group at McDonald’s for lunch and boy were we hungry. But i have to say the McD’s downstairs is ridiculously small! That was until I found out they had another spot upstairs.. And thus begins the tale of the “Definitely, Maybe – Blogger Date” ^_^ These are the people who managed to turn up for the outing, in alphabetical order ^_^
